w0, saturday.

[tactic]

[ It might be a little hard to recognize Aventurine in all his peacock glory but he is here at the refectory, or rather, poking his head out from the cellar's door.

When he spots Yuffie, he waves her over. ]

Hey, want to help me with something?

[mogger]

[ she has to stifle a laugh when she sees his outfit because she's terrible. yuffie is also in her normal outfit....... which is not better, frankly. she's coming over ]

I'll help, but you owe me!

[ she doesn't even know what he wants ]

[tactic]

[ STOP SHE LOOKS SO CUTE ]

It's not a hard task. I'll owe you something small.

[ He emerges from the cellar, then heads to the back where the kitchen is, motioning Yuffie to follow him. ]

We need more cups in the cellar. Grab a stack or two.

[mogger]

[ it's such an impractical outfit!!! ]

Just don't forget~!

[ following on his heels though like a good yuffie. she will grab like three stacks because she is overambitious ]

What's going on in the cellar? Big party?

[tactic]

If there was a big party in the wine cellar, I don't think I'd be able to tell you. What are you, like twelve?

[ Mostly kidding as he grabs a reasonable stack of two and makes his way back to the cellar. ]

Don't drop anything.

[mogger]

I'm not a kid! [ how dare you aventurine!!!! she is clearly a grownup! ] And I can do adult stuff just fine!

[ is this proving how much of a grownup she is? is it? is it??? ]

The great Yuffie never drops any--- [ barely stops herself from immediately dropping one of the stacks ] ---thing!

[tactic]

[ Reaches out a hand JUST IN CASE. ]

I'll believe it when we get down the stairs in one piece.

[ MAYBE ASKING FOR HELP WAS A MISTAKE he's just going to be watching Yuffie's stacks now while also trying to make sure his are fine as they head down. ]

[mogger]

[ she somehow manages with her stacks of cups..... maybe spitefully, even, since he's watching her ]

Success! I can't believe you ever doubted me.

[ starts humming the final fantasy victory jingle. this is completely unearned ]

[tactic]

[ The way I could immediately hear the jingle.

He sets the cups down on the bar, trying his best to look impressed. ]

I can't believe it either. [ That she didn't drop anything. ] Welcome to the cellar. Have you been down here before?

[mogger]

[ everything according to plan, yuul. she buys his attempt to look impressed. also setting cups down ]

Sure have. Swiped a few bottles, too.

[ heh heh ] You notice how every time you look, the liquid levels are at different levels?

[tactic]

[ 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.

[mogger]

[ 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.

[tactic]

[ 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.

[mogger]

[ 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... ]

[tactic]

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

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

[mogger]

[ not her y...... ]

[ she is looking him up and down ]

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

[tactic]

[ Besides the monster in his head? ]

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

[mogger]

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? ]

[tactic]

[ 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?

[mogger]

[ 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? ]

[tactic]

Who would I tell?

[ CLOUD? Please. ]

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

[mogger]

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!

[tactic]

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

[mogger]

What's in it for me?

[tactic]

What? Being a hero isn't enough?
