tactic | YUFFIE.

[ You know what, pop off, Yuffie. Get your drinking in. ]

Aren't you observant? Could be that whatever's making us food is filling up the barrels, too.

[ don't approve of underage drinking ]

[ she looks so pleased when he compliments her ]

Or vice versa. I mean, if there is some kind of unseen force making us meals, makes sense they'd want to drink their worries away, right? Or maybe it's just another thing here meant to mess with us.

[ Starts organizing the cups so that they are not just tall stacks that could be tipped over by the slightest bump against the bar. ]

As long as they leave enough for the rest of us, I won't be making any complaints.

[ organizes them too, but makes a bunch of them spell the letter "y". so helpful. wonder what that's about ]

You really drank some already?

[ suspicious liquids... ]

[ Allows her to have her fun but WILL be dismantling that later. ]

The very first night we arrived. [ So... yesterday. ] Should I not have?

[ not her y...... ]

[ she is looking him up and down ]

So, how are ya feeling? Any stomach pains? Urges to howl? Taste for blood?

[ Besides the monster in his head? ]

As boring as this is going to sound, I feel like myself.

Lucky for you! Personally, I would have waited to see if it was safe before drinking it.... but I guess you adults really can't stop yourselves from getting boozed up, huh?

[ wow this callout ]

[ also does this mean she hasn't actually drank any herself? ]

[ He wishes he could have been boozed up... He's got too much of a tolerance for this grape juice. ]

Now that you know it's safe for drinking, will you be giving it a try?

[ maybe next week there'll be a real bar ]

Why? Ya gonna narc on me if I do?

[ are you cool, aventurine... or are you a square? ]

Who would I tell?

[ CLOUD? Please. ]

Don't drink too much or you'll get sick.

Plenty of busybodies around.

[ sticking her tongue out... to prove how mature she is??? ]

But I'm not gonna anyway. I bet our kidnappers are just waiting for us to let our guard down so they can ambush us. Well, the Great Yuffie isn't gonna fall for that!

Okay, Great Yuffie, while the rest of us are passed out, I expect you to do all the heavy lifting.

What's in it for me?

What? Being a hero isn't enough?

Heroes still gotta eat! And get paid!

Paid, huh? Then how about...

[ What does he have... He'll take off the bracelet on his right wrist and hold it out to her. ]

Why don't you hold on to this as collateral? Until I can find something else to pay you with.

[ don't just give your jewelry away!!!! ]

[ even little miss shameless is very visibly taken aback by this, because she was basically just messing around ]

Huh?

... Seriously?

[ Dangles the bracelet!! ]

Why not? I have others on me.

[ Shows off his expensive watch and his expensive jewel-encrusted bracelet god he is so extra but he is a generous kind of extra. ]

You know, you are just begging to be robbed.

[ still seems kind of hesitant, but... takes it ]

Luckily for you, you have an incredibly powerful bodyguard now.

[ Laughs... Oh, youth. ]

Alright, Miss Bodyguard, I won't take up more of your time. You're off cup duty.

[ she gives him one last chance to change his mind and take it back and then she's slipping it... somewhere. ]

Okay, but are you seriously gonna throw a party? Give me the details already.

Not a party. Not in this small of a space, anyway. I just come down here sometimes with people who want a drink, and going back up to the kitchen to grab cups becomes tedious after a while.

That's pretty much everyone here. [ that isn't a kid ] So ya might as well just throw a party.

You really just like to chat people up, huh? [ socializing....... ]

I think it's important to make friends.
