Mana sat in one of Tom's large leather chairs in the study. She could hear the party outside the doors and just couldn't bring herself to come out. She hated large crowds of people, except tourney's, and generally tried to avoid them. The only reason she was still even here was because of her stupid brother's puppy eyes.
She could hear the commotion outside and knew that a great deal of guests had arrived already. She sighed heavily. It wouldn't be long before Mithos found her and drug her out with his dissapointed face. She had called Ellie in hopes of some sanity, but still hid away.
Mana heard the click of the door and sighed. Expecting Mithos she got up and grumbled at the open door.
"I'll come out when I am good and ready, Mithos! So stop being such a pest. You are lucky..."
She stopped when she saw a the shorter blond walk in and shut the door behind her. Mana sat down, looking a little relieved. She motioned for Ellie to sit in the chair near her.
"Hey El. Already a hootin fest out there I see," Mana said, "I was trying to keep what little of my sanity I have left but my brother seems insistant that I get out there and 'have some fun.' Then he promptly invites Ren and all his little shaman buddies. I ask you, where is the logic in that?"

"I figured. Mana didn't strike me as a party animal anyways." Ren said, looking over to Yoh and Horo, who had already broken into the alcohol. He somehow /knew/, that those two would be the most smashed by the end of the night. Chocolove enjoyed being sober (he was idiot enough as is) and Lyserg often ended up too timid to over-drink. And he heard Anna could really hold her liquor.
"You invite Ellie on hopes of dragging Mana out? Or she invite her for herself? You're one damn determined party host, I'll give you that."

Mithos shrugged expansively, making a pointed change of subject by wandering into the kitchen. "No point in doing half a job." He called over his shoulder with a small smile, pulling things out of the fridge with well-practiced ease.
Ellie smiled sheepishly, sitting across from Mana with a small laugh. "Oh, come on. It's a party, Mana. Besides - I had a quick chat with a couple of his friends. They're not bad, actually." She said, then shook her head a little. "Come on, come and have a drink. Please?"

Mana frowned.
"Aww not you too," Mana said with a sigh and leaning back, "Damn. I can't catch a break. What's wrong with a quiet week at the house? It's roudy enough in school."
She grumbled a little bit and then looked over to Ellie. She looked so pounty and dissapointed. Mana groaned and ran a hand through her bangs, beings that the rest of her hair was in a braid.
"Just...a...drink," she said slowly as if trying to beat it into Ellie's head, "And I don't want to hear another word about it. All I wanted was a quiet night with my freind, but seeing as how neither you or my wonderful brother want to leave me in peace, I shall have no choice but to go out and get a voluntary headache."
She got up and left, taking her time so that Ellie could keep up. She went up to the bar where a guy with blue hair was already starting to get drunk and sing very horribly. Mana twitched a bit as she pushed him aside and got out the wine, pouring two glasses very skillfully. She made her way through the noisy crowd, only faintly hearing the music that seemed to come out of the walls. She handed one cup to Ellie and smirked.
"My dad used to drink rum like no other," she said with kind of a faroff look, taking a sip of the wine, "I can remember laughing at him as a child because he would get so excited over it as any true pirate would. He could drink nearly all of our crew under the table and still have room for more. He told the funniest stories when he was drinking. They were actually some of my fondest memories. I never aquired the taste for it. I like the finer and fruitier alcoholic beverages."
Why did I just tell her that? Yea, my dad was a big alcy,Mana thought shaking her head and staring at her wine, That's impressive. I guess it just seemed appropriate for the occasion. It is nice to relive my father's memory with someone who hasn't heard his tales.

Ellie giggled as Mana unceremoniously shoved Horo aside. "Never liked rum that much myself." She replied, taking her glass from Mana. "Pirate, huh? Heard loads of stuff about your old man as a kid, y'know. Wasn't all good, mind." She said, sipping at her drink with a smile as she leant against the wall.

Mana smiled and sipped.
"Yea I suppose," Mana said, "Daddy is legend known around the world. That's what he always told me, but I guess now I know it's true and it warms my heart to hear so. Pirates have never had a very good reputation with land lovers. But that is just because they are misunderstood. Honestly, it's the way we like it. If someone is being too chummy with us, we know we can't trust them. But we still knew how to have fun. The parties we used to have makes this look like a daycare center. And they were so much fun. We once had one of our aftsmen catch himself on fire because he was so drunk and wanted to prove that he could do something cool. That is why I am going to find a couple jobs this summer so I can start saving up for a ship. After graduation, Im out of here. I'm going to live my life like my father did."
Mana laughed and drowned the rest of her wine and circled to get a new one. She saw the pointy haired Ren in his usual stance by Mithos. For a moment Mithos and her caught eyes. She could see the grin on his face. She just rolled her eyes and shrugged. She was almost there when she ran into a colored person with a rather large hairdo. He looked to be even shorter than Ren. Mana sweatdropped a bit and then moved past him even as he started to make his stumbled apologies. She just grabbed the bottle, but this time the guy with the blue hair put his arm around her and as he laughed and gave a little *hic*.
"Hey," he said in a slurred voice, "I where did you come from? Heaven?"
"I'm a figment of your drunkeness," Mana said removing his hand with a sneer, "Now kindly refrain from touching me or I will make my presence known, and trust me, you'll wish you had just let me alone."
"Man," he said narrowing his eyes with a slight pout, "You are a grouch."
"Only when you touch me," Mana said, "By the way, your singing stinks as bad as your breath."
Mana then smirked and walked away as the drunken boy began to pout more. A blue haired girl showed up next to him and comforted him, so Mana didn't feel too bad.
"Sorry about that," she said with a smirk as she was once again in front of Ellie, "So, what do you have planned after school? Ever consider moving back to America?"

"Maaaan, that chick's more ornery than Anna." Horo grumbled, sitting back into his chair and reflecting on his lack of a girlfriend. In his stupor, a slap resounded in the party hall. Horo was promptly removed from his seat.
Ren cringed. "Somebody insulted Anna." He commented quickly, watching as Mana was dragged into party hall. Ellie was even more extatic about a party than Mithos was, and he was /hosting/ it. Horo slunk over to Ren, wiggling a bottle of beer at him. His cheek had the perfect imprint of a hand. "Neeeee, Ren, going to drink anything tonight?" Horo grinned and slouched on him. Ren cringed. "I'm not thirsty." He said, while Horo gave him a laugh and a hiccup. "Shorty, that's not the /point/." Horo grinned wide. He would leave that party with one-half less tooth than he came with.
"Reeeeeeehn! You Bwoke my nwose!" Ren looked at Horo and cracked his knuckles. His nose was bleeding profusely. Ren didn't need to be drunk to be violent. Pirika ran over and gave Ren a quick glare before running off to get a napkin for her brother's nose while Horo himself looked for the piece of tooth Ren had chipped off. Ren felt very little remorse.
Yoh came over and looked at Horo with a bit of pity. "Ne Ren, I think you might benefit from drinking. You're way too uptight... 'Sides, not like a single drink could get you drunk, man."
Ren glared at Horo who was still groping around on the floor. "...He called me short." Ren was venomous. Yoh blinked. "Uh, Ren..." Yoh stared obviously at the top of ren's head, which was at his eye level. "Shut up, Yoh." Ren sizzled and looked at the bar. His damned human curiosity was going to do him in, combined with the deep-sea pressure his friends were all exerting on him. And Yoh was right... there was no way one drink would get him so much as tipsy. Though, Ren did hear a rumour that Taos had low tolerance...

Mithos chuckled, shaking his head a little as he drifted back towards the bar, pouring two small drinks swiftly. "Come on, Ren, have a drink." He suggested, holding one glass out to his friend. "You should loosen up a bit - the party'll be more fun that way." He told him, sipping at his own drink with a smile.
Ellie giggled once more, sipping at her drink with a shrug. "Not really. I mean, I'd like to travel, but..." She trailed off, shrugging a little again. "I've got this terrible fear of flying, and I get seasick really easily." She said, shaking her head. "But travelling would be nice."

"Sounds like you are destined for the life of the road my friend," Mana said, "Now whether you will be the hobo hoofin it or the hippie with either your own car or with a group of friends is something Im not sure of. But the fact is we were both seem born travelers. But I couldn't agree with you more on the plane thing though. I would never EVER travel that way unless I had to."
Mana caught an ear of Mithos asking Ren to take a drink. She looked back, as if trying to survey him. Ren seemed to be the kind of person who had never had a drink in his life. If that was the case than that boy was in for a suprise and one large nasty hang over. Mana had a mind to mention something Mithos, but she thought better of it and nearly slapped herself for trying to stop the proceedings. They promised to be most entertaining.
"If Ren eventually gives in to Mithos, and he will," Mana said with a smirk, crossing her arms over her large chest, "something tells me this party is about to get a /lot/ more interesting. I think I may have to get my camera after all. This could be just the kind of momentous occasion that could provide us all a great amount of amusement and eventually benefit me immensely."

Ren heaved a sigh. He knew he wasn't going to get out of it. But he certainly didn't intend on drinking as much as the two oafs in the other corner of the room. He didn't look forward to acting like an idiot. Ren stared down the beverage in his hand, as if daring it to do anything to him that he didn't like. Ren had been trained to have a high tolerance to everything- pain, burns, lack of oxygen, but never once had his father shoved alcohol down his throat. It almost made Ren wonder why. Now that he thought about it, after all, getting your enemy intoxicated would be an easy way to win any fight... and a couple good laughs along with it.
"What's with you people and my loosening up. I wasn't made for parties, damn it." Ren grumbled and took a sip of his drink, which already prooved to be too much. Maybe it was becuase he didn't expect it, but he nearly choaked because his throat burned. So, Ren took big sips... His head was already buzzing, but Ren couldn't even guess what phase of drinking that fell under. "...what the hell did you pour me, Mithy?"

Mithos chuckled as he sipped at his own drink without even wincing. "White rum - Malibu, actually." He said with a small shrug, sipping at his drink again and watching Ren carefully. The small Tao clearly had a very low alcohol tolerance (which probably wasn't helped by his overall smaller stature) and he was likely to get drunk very quickly. This didn't look to be entirely bad at the moment, however. "You get used to it, trust me. Have some more."
Ellie almost spat out her drink upon watching Ren take a drink, very badly trying to disguise her giggling fit as a cough. "He must have a lower alcohol tolerance than I do!" She giggled, sipping at her drink again. She was halfway through her glass already, and the night was just getting better and better.

Mana watched with a small smirk. The small boy had an even smaller alcohol tolerance. Oh yes, what an interesting night this would be. Naturally, being the daughter of a Pirate, it took a LOT of liquor to get Mana even remotely tipsy. But the fact that even Mithos saw Ren's low tolerance and still offered him more was highly suspect. She would have to make a note to study his motives. She started to walk to get her camera when she heard the insane giggling of Ellie behind her.
She looked back as Ellie appeared to be having WAAAY too much fun. Her eye brow raised as the girl began to stumble around.
Great, Mana thought,There goes my potential whitness. Something tells me I'm going to have to be one responsible for her. Oh well.
Mana chuckled at Ellie and told her to wait where she was. She snuck up the stairs and to Tom's office where he had a video camera for reasons unknown to her. But she was still greatful she he had it. It would have to suffice as her only source of documentation. She slipped a tape into it's slot and turned it on to test it. She took it back and aimed it at herself.
"Tom is gone, " she began, "Naturally Mithos was all to eager to make a monkey of himself and host a party to loosen everyone up. Unfortunately, I too was dragged into this....but I am determined to make the best of it. Ladies and Gentlemen, what you see tonight may shock or even make you sick to your stomach, but I can assure you that these are not paid actors. All of what you see is real.....*chuckes* and if all goes right, will have me set for life!"
Mana then headed back downstairs, camera in hand eagerly catching everyone in their fowlest. There was singing, lude and horrid dancing, and the alcohol content rivaled that of a bar. Mana just rolled her eyes, but smirked as she caught this all on tape, feeling nothing but the utmost joy. She found Ellie again as she focused her camera on her brother and the China boy with an evil smirk.
"Did I miss anything," she asked the giggling girl.

Ren gave a short glare to mithy and proceeded to try it again. It was easier to swallow than the first gulp, probably cause he knew how it was going to work now. Of course, it still burned, but Mithy was right, he did get used to it. Didn't mean he necessarily enjoyed it, but he dealt. Of course, as the alcohol got circulating, his sense of pain was numbed exponentially with each sip. Being as it was just a shot of rum, Ren downed it rather quickly. He was now officially swaying where he stood.
"Uggh... I hate booze..." Ren groaned and grabbed onto Mithy, the closest object, to stop himself from falling over. He peeked up at the tall englishman for a moment and blushed. He looked away immediatly. What the hell was that about? He's never looked so randomly handsome before... but wait... yes he has. The alcohol is gettign to me already... Ren though, as he tried to distract himself, despite his hand still being secure around Mithy's party clothes. It just reminded Ren how nice and solid Mithy's arms were <3.

Mithos laughed quietly as he placed his empty glass down on the bar and steered Ren to one of the large armchairs beside the bar. "I'm sure you'll be singing a different tune later, my friend? Another glass? Something different, maybe?" He asked, leaning sideways just a little to snatch up the two glasses and pull them towards him across the smooth wood of the bar.
Ellie kept giggling, shaking her head as she refilled her glass for the second time. By this point, the small american girl was well gone, and she turned around and tripped over her own feet, sticking out a hand to steady herself, said hand planting itself firmly on Mana's chest.

Mana blushed profusely as she felt two small hands grab her ample breasts. Mana twitched, holding back her natrual reaction to slap the source. She looked down and followed the arms to a giggling Ellie. Her heart pace quicked for only an instant before reality hit her. Ellie was already trashed. Mana sighed and took the American's hands off her breasts.
"Ellie," she said, "I think you should probably sit down somewhere?"
Mana helped Ellie over to a chair, the girl looking to be in some other happy place. Obvioulsy not being able to steer her through the already swaggering crowd. She grumbled, looking over to where Mithos was just pouring drinks. Nothing interesting there. She turned off the camera and scooped Ellie up in her arms bridal style, carrying her over to the couch by the fireplace and sitting her down. It was still a good angle to shoot from as Mana turned the camera back on and continued to film.
"Try not to stand or do anything," she told El looking at her, "You may hurt yourself."

"Something less concentrated... no more rum. That stuff's horrible." Ren barely even had time to place his request. Even to his more-than-tipsy self, he could tell Mithy was stuffing him with alcohol. He couldn't even begin to guess why... his brain felt fuzzy. "Just give me something mixed. Or frozen. Or both." Ren said. He was hoping Mithy wouldn't be one of those frat-boy bartenders and make a drink that was four parts liquor and one part flavored ice... as opposed to the other way around, as it was supposed to be made. But Ren heard you couldn't even taste the booze in a mixed drink, so at least he'd be able to enjoy it more.

Mithos laughed, nodding as he pulled several bottles towards him - liqours, juices, many things so worn the labels were unreadable. "Gotcha." He said simply, mixing things with a practiced ease that would make even Tom raise an eyebrow. Minutes later, he handed Ren a glass of something that looked to be some pink ice. There was some strawberry cordial and some vermouth in there somewhere.
Ellie giggled again, nodding as she held onto the arm of the chair as if she would fall over if she didn't. Well on her way, the girl waved over Horo and casually took his drink from him with a giggle and a flutter of her eyelashes.

Mana looked back at Ellie briefly. She minded her alcohol content, making sure the alcoholic virgin didn't over do it. There was still her health to be concerned. But what did Mana care. As long as the young girl was having fun, Mana wasn't going to be the one to interfear.
She watched Mithos make a drink for both Ren and he and had to laugh.
"That boy has no idea what he's doing," Mana said with an obvious air of arrogance, "But still....Ren is going to be so far gone by the end of tonight, his memory will be wiped clean. Luckily there will be me, *evil smirk* to..../courteously/ remind him."
Mana gave a small evil chuckle, monitoring her surroudings closely.

Horo, being too smashed to notice, was somewhat surprised when he raised his glass to pour it into the gaping maw that was his mouth, and found nothing coming it. He also noticed the lack of a cool glass in his now empty hand, still frozen in the shape of the shot glass. "That's weird... did I drop it?" Horo looked around under him, and shrugged when he saw no puddle, and ran off to fetch himself another drink. Lyserg, who'd seen the whole thing, just sat there and giggled. He thought americans were absolutely hilarious.
Ren sighed and took a gulp of the pink drink, which was certainly more pleasing to his tastes, but only made his head buzz /louder/. At this point, Ren couldn't stop himself, nor did he want to stop, his eyes running over Mithos like a vacuum on a dirty carpet. Despite the things he'd noticed before... they seemed more prominent that ever, and Ren had never really been rude enough to stare at Mithos for long periods of time before. But now... he couldn't take his eyes off Mithy's chest, ass, and other various body parts that were absolutely gorgeous. His blush had settled in to stay, probably mostly the fault of the liquor.

Mithos raised an eyebrow but said nothing, downing his own drink and smiling at the little buzz that tingled through him. With a lazy smile, he perched himself on the arm of Ren's chair so as he was within easy reach of just about everything on the bar. "Have another one." He offered, even as he poured it out.
Ellie giggled once more, watching Mithos and Ren inbetween quite openly staring at Mana. It was official. Being drunk was, quite frankly, the best excuse for anything. Ever.
