All hail the Nyquil.
Also...
Relena: DM/Dungeon Master (loves the group, but often wants to TPK them)
Heero: Drow Ranger (Quatre had to make his character for him)
Duo: Tiefling Bard (likes to play up "that bard" to Relena's annoyance)
Trowa: Tiefling Rogue (dresses "like a bard/clown" to confuse enemies)
Quatre: Aasimar Cleric (lone healer of the group and all that prevents a TPK)
Wufei: Dragonborn Monk (extremely particular about his character)
Hilde: Tabaxi Barbarian (used to grapple the others as needed)
Do not try to mess up Relena's schedule for game night.
"Hilde."
"Yes?"
"Where are the guys? They're never late and they knew we had a roleplay-heavy session tonight."
Hilde frowned in thought-not sure if she wanted to explain the current situation...but, morbid curiosity was a bitch and a half and she would be lying if she ever said that she didn't want to see how exactly Relena handled the debacle currently occurring. "According to Quatre's last text, all five of them are in Une's office and she's in the process of reading all of them the riot act."
Relena looked up from her notes. "What?"
"Exactly what I said. Not quite sure what the others did, but Quatre's getting reprimanded too-"
"No." Was all Relena said as she stood up and made for the door. "Like hell is that woman ruining game night AND yelling at Quatre for anything stupid that the rest of our boys did! Hilde, with me."
"Got your six." Was all Hilde said as she ran to catch up to the diplomat's furious stride. "Apparently Noin and Zechs are both in the room as well-"

"-And furthermore-!" Une continued only to be cut off when her door practically slammed open to reveal a furious Relena. "Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei...all five of you are late."
"Miss Relena-"
"Une. I am not in the mood. Hilde and I will be taking our boys to our date night and whatever they did can be yelled about later." Relena said firmly as she stalked over and promptly took hold of the strap of Heero's tank top and the shoulder of Wufei's shirt. Hilde merrily trotted up and grabbed Duo by his collar before pressing a hand firmly to Trowa's back as she proceeded to guide Trowa and Quatre out the door, and practically frog-march Duo out. Relena 'guided' Heero and Wufei to the door...only for Une to speak up. "Miss Relena. These five-"
"Did they blow up a colony?"
"No?"
"Was arson and/or murder of any degree involved?"
"Not this time."
"Are they only in trouble because of some prank pulled on my brother who is not to be named?"
"Excuse-" Zechs started only for Une to chime in. "They set up paintball balloons to bombard him at his door and somehow hid a raccoon in his desk drawer!"
"Send my brother to get a rabies shot then pay the janitors more money to clean the mess. They already deserve it." Was all Relena said without looking back as she finished shoving Wufei and Heero out the door. "Good night, Une."

Heero and Wufei slid free of Relena's grip and planted themselves in their chairs at the table-cautiously glancing at Relena who was still glaring at the world around her. Trowa slid into his seat and tugged Quatre onto his lap-firmly wrapping his arms around the blond's waist. Hilde, however, marched Duo over to his chair and pushed him into it before sitting down next to him-keeping one hand firmly pressed tot he back of the brunette's neck. "Now that everyone is here?"
"Yes." Relena brought over the snacks and drinks then took her seat. "Alright...everyone ready?"
"Can I seduce-?"
"No." Relena said firmly before picking up her notes. "Following your latest lead, your party enters into a grand city in the midst of a masquerade festival. All around you, the citizens twirl about in their finest attire and ornate masks of many colors. The whispers of the vendors inform all of you that in order to find the weapons dealer whom you are seeking, you must play 'the game' and work your way through the crowds. However...some have hinted to you that there are other ways to find what you seek."
Relena paused, looking at the group. "Now...how will all of you approach this?"
"Well, I think I would like to mingle in the crowds and attempt to play their game." Quatre said with a small, cheerful smile. Trowa shrugged and nuzzled against Quatre's hair. "I will stick with the cleric to protect him."
"I want to follow up on the 'other' ways." Heero answered with a nod, his arms folded over his chest. Wufei glanced up from his character sheets and notes. "I think I will go along with Yuy's plan at least for right now."
"I think I'll mingle too." Hilde chimed in with a grin. All eyes turned to Duo who smirked. "I'll mingle...and seduce anyone I can."
"...Goddamnit Duo." Relena muttered under her breath-maybe they should have left Duo to Une.
Duo is back in "That Bard" territory.
