[So, space kidnapping—Junpei isn't a fan. He doesn't believe the "anomaly" stuff and he definitely doesn't want to hear more explanations; until someone shows him real and possibly tangible proof that this isn't just space kidnapping, he's not going to believe it! Easy!

Less easy: calming the hell down. If he's been kidnapped this makes it the third time, and he's already certain that any second now all the doors on the ship are going to slam shut and lock and he'll have to do something unspeakable just to survive. Again. A hasty search determines he at least doesn't know anyone here (it's both a relief and a shame, but whatever), and so the next thing he does is cheerfully (he's not cheerful) head off to start working his new job immediately.

Because his new job is getting drunk (not in so many words), and he needs a drink or twelve. He's on the network after that, his wrist comm clearly not on his wrist for he's very pointedly pulled it off and set it, for now, on what appears to be the bar itself.]

Heyyy, space cadets! [He waves a beer.] How many of you are missing out on the space beer right now, huh? There's a ton of it! C'mon down and live a little, before we're not living anymore!

[Just gonna take a long swig of this on camera... cool. Anyway,] I'm serious, there's no time like the present, right?! Before somebody comes along and makes us all hate each other, let's do this!

[The video shakes a lot at this point as he drunkenly figures out how to turn it off. That's it... that's the message.]



SEVERAL HOURS LATER, a shameful second video, much briefer:
[Mr. Drunk and Disorderly is back, looking worse for wear than before. Ha ha... oops.]

Uh... hey. Sorry anyone who had to see that before. I'm totally fine now! And if you have no idea what I'm talking about—don't ask. Seriously. Please.

[fucking.....nailed it]


(ooc; please feel free to judge him while he's sloshed or afterwards, consider this a double-prompt post)

_{[ this guy... is entirely drunk..... awesome. ]}
There is beer here..? Ah, is it very expensive?

[coolerjunpei]

[2cool... sick username, man.]

There's plenty of beer here! And it's not getting—any... cheaper?

[Okay listen, just. Come.]

[glitterpants]

<sub>[ Nobody invites him for beer? Okay, for getting kidnapped and taken into space without too much explanation other than what they were given. Maybe this won't be so bad.

...though, Karamatsu hardly drinks alone. Usually there are five other people with him. ]</sub>

Heh.
I am honestly touched that somebody such as yourself would give out such a sacred invitation— a bonding between two men— in these times of trial, confusion, loneliness and anxiousness. Is it to ease the discomfort? To mask intense feelings that you may not want to show? Ah, no. It shouldn't matter. We should drink and become acquainted if we are to be together here.

[coolerjunpei]

[Wow, uh... that's a lot of words? He's been drinking excessively, give him a minute.]

So you're saying you're interested in me? [lonely bonding, dude] Man, if I buy you a drink, will you cut down your word volume? You're gonna make my head hurt more than it already will later. Get down here already.

_{[ the most oblivious, stupid, yet happy face. ]}

I have no idea where I am going, but I am on my way, if you desire my company so urgently..!
_{[ he'll get lost if you don't help. ]}

[coolerjunpei]

[Oh no, he's dumb, isn't he? Junpei, sloshed, cannot help but feel the terrible beginnings of Sympathy. And yet.]

It looks like a bar and it's got me sitting in it. Do you want me to draw you a map?

[glitterpants]

_{[ if Junpei was being sarcastic, he didn't get it. ]}

A map would be exceptional..!

[coolerjunpei]

[Does this dumb little bracelet have a paint app, Junpei wonders... The camera abruptly turns off while he tries to figure this out, and soon enough, he will send a beautiful map.]

There you go.

[glitterpants]

_{[ this is going to get him more lost but Karamatsu seems absolutely tickled and thrilled that somebody drew a map. for him. ]}

This is extremely helpful! Ah, your artwork is beautiful.. please do not worry, I will get there as soon as I can..!

[coolerjunpei]

[He'll feel a little bad, but not really, because clearly his map is bullshit and should be ignored... Right?? Yes???]

Sure. I'll be here, I guess? I'm not going anywhere for a couple hours, minimum.

<sub>[ it takes him longer than Junpei probably expects. A mixture of a poorly drawn map and Karamatsu's ditzy personality makes it hard for him to find the bar that his friend was referring to.

When he finally reaches the bar, he's out of breath, exhausted, and places both of his hands on the bar table to support himself. ]</sub>

A—Ah, is this where the free alcohol is? Are you Junpei-san?
_{[ Junpei said nothing about free, but you know.. ]}

[coolerjunpei]

[Who... is this?? Junpei may have forgotten about this guy and his map doodle, it took so long.]

Uh, yeah, that's me. What's up?

[glitterpants]

_{[ He wipes sweat from his brow. PHEW. Then, he forces his posture more straight, resting one hand on the bar table and pressing his weight into it. He uses his other hand to run through his fringe. ]}

...Hmph. I am the one you gave the map to. The map, it was very useful.
_{[ it was not. ]}
I'm sorry for noticing, but on the video, you seemed a lot more... scared.. about what is happening.

Am I wrong..?
