AUTHOR'S NOTE: THIS ONE IS HUGE. In fact, I think it has more participants than ANY other "characters playing a game" fic OUT there. I had to limit myself to five characters an anime max. So be forewarned: If you only like a few anime (or you don't play video games a lot), you might not recognize some of these people!

Of course, you'll get the basic idea, even if you've got no clue who they are... it might not be acutely accurate, though, since I might be doing something weird to them. ^_^v

DISCLAIMER (And the LIST OF PARTICIPANTS): These anime, video games, and characters are not mine:

TRIGUN; Vash, Nick.
DBZ; Vegeta, Goku.
GW; Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei.
RANMA: Ranma, Ryoga, Shampoo, Akane, Mousse.
YYH; Kurama, Hiei, Yuusuke.
SLAYERS; Lina, Gourry, Zelgadis, Xellos, Naga.
KENSHIN: Kenshin, Sanosuke, Saitou, Megumi.
MKR; Fuu, Ferio, Hikaru.
FY; Tamahome, Tasuki, Suboshi, Nakago.
FF (in general); Tifa, Cloud, Squall, Zell, Zidane.
ZELDA; Link, Ruto, Navi, Ganondorf.
OLS: Gene, Jim, Melfina, Aisha.
SM; Seiya, Minako, Ami.

Also, the Drinking Game is not mine. BUT! The way I make all of the above characters move IS mine. So don't be naughty, and don't copy!

Enjoy!

Part 1: The Preparations
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*



Melfina: How 'bout a game, everyone?

*A great deal of blinking occurs.*

*They're in a gigantic, circular, dome-ceiling room, which looks as if it's meant to comfortably fit 50 or 60 people at once. It has wood-panel walls, orange-mix carpet, a stairway leading up, and no windows... it's probably underground. The walls are bare, and the whole place would be completely empty if it wasn't for the various types of sit-down material; chestnut loveseats, sofas, and easy chairs with ottomans are arranged against the walls so, no matter where you sit, you can see everything in the room. But the thing that draws the most attention is a large wooden table, which rests in the dead center of the circle. A circle itself, its surface can't be seen, for it is covered with bottles.*

*Everyone is standing around as if they've just been zapped there by some omniscient force. And, for some reason, only a few of them seem to know what, exactly, they're all doing there.*

Gene: What do you mean, game?! *looks around* Where ARE we, and where the hell did you come up with that?

Melfina: *blinks* I don't know. For some reason, I thought that was the thing to do.

Jim: Yeah... that sounds right. But... who are these people?

Kurama: We're from YYH, remember? And the others are from other anime, Jim. ^_^

Jim: Oh... right...

Ryoga: *spots Ranma* SAUTOME RANMA!!

*on reflex to loud noise, a sword suddenly sticks out of the crowd*

Wufei: NATAKU!!

Ranma: *looks around* What? What? Ryoga? *looks over crowd* Where are you?

Shampoo: *hears Ranma* AI-REN! *runs to source of voice and glomps*

Ranma: *_*

Akane: Hey, HEY! Hands OFF!

Mousse: *frowns* ...Shampoo...

Seiya: *puts his hand on Mousse's shoulder* I feel for you, man.

Minako: *obviously knows what's going on* Well, shall we get started?

Ami: *also knows* It's apparent that not all of us know the situation...

Vash: *jumping up and down, frantically:* NIIIIICK!!! NIIIIICK, ARE YOU HEEEEERE?!

Nick: *on the other side of the room* VASH?! VAAASH!!

*Nick sticks the cross up into the air. Vash spots him and vaults over the entire crowd, using two taller heads for step-stones, and jumps into Nick's arms.*

Sano and Saitou: OW! BASTARD!!

*sword pops out of crowd*

Wufei: NATAKU!!

Megumi: Ohohoho...

Sano: Who're you laughing at?

Kenshin: You, that it seems...

Tifa: Geez, how could he avoid you, with that rooster head sticking out of the crowd?

Vegeta and Hiei: *grumble something about tall being better than short*

Kurama, Yuusuke, Goku: *chuckle*

*FY boys all seem to know what's going on. Tasuki and Tamahome are already sitting completely opposite of Suboshi and Nakago, all but Naka-chan glaring like hell.*

Cloud: *sigh* this is getting nowhere fast...

Fuu: Perhaps we should organize, then?

Hikaru: Organize?

Ferio: Organize?

Quatre: *who's standing nearby* Organize?

Duo: It's contagious!! Run, RUN!! *grabs Heero and runs to the opposite wall.*

Fuu: Contagious?

Hikaru: Contagious?

Ferio: What do you mean, contagious?

Quatre: Yes, what? *eyes start to twitch and his voice starts getting higher* What's contagious, eh? Ehehehehehe...

*Trowa grabs Quatre's hand and guides him to the opposite side of the room*

Trowa: Quatre, calm down!

Wufei: ...*sword pops up* NATAKU!!

Other G-boys: *sigh*

Zell: ... well, if we're gonna play a game, then let's play! Right, Squall?

Squall: ...

Zelgadis: ...

Trowa: ...

Heero: ...

Duo: ...well, now that we know where the life of the party is...

Lina: *starts to glow* ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY IN A SEAT, AND MAKE IT FAST!! LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!!

*The hectic room immediately obliges. Everyone finds a chair and most wait for an explanation.*

Naga: Ohohoho! It always helps to have a loud mouth.

Lina: Shut up, Naga!

Naga: Ohohoho!

Megumi: Ohohoho!

Vash: Nyahahaha!

Zidane: Someone stop them!

*Heero pulls out three guns, all aimed professionally. They shut up.*

Zidane: Thanks.

Heero: Don't mention it.

Lina: Mel?

*Melfina goes to the table*

Melfina: Well, the rules are simple. We take turns and say something we've never done before. Everyone who has done the mentioned must take a drink.

Yuusuke: how do you win?

Xellos: Well... last person to pass out usually wins. ^_^

Sano: I win.

Tasuki: You WISH.

*both glare at each other with smiles on their faces*

Kenshin: He's made a friend already, that he has...

Duo: Speak English!

Zidane: You're the only one in here who CAN.

Ami and Vash: I know a little...

Minako: Actually, this is the sort of game that horny teenagers play at slumbers until they get bored. I should know, I am one. *winks at Wufei*

Wufei: ... *hides behind Link* Onna! Get it away! *whimpers*

Link: ...Oro? ...You think YOU have girl trouble? -_-

Ruto: *glares*

Kenshin: *-* Somebody else! I'm not alone, that I am not!

Link: ...you mean... YOU say 'oro' too?!

Kenshin: *gravely nods*

*Link and Kenshin stare at each other for a moment*

Link and Kenshin: BUDDY!! *they hug each other*

Hikaru: Awww, Kawaii ^_^

Duo: *whines* Are we EVER going to start playing?

Goku: Come on, guys, let's get moving!

*Everyone looks at Goku, and then by some magical force everyone works together to get up and get drinks. Each person even finds his or her seat again. Everything is in perfect harmony until the awe-inspiring sound that is Goku's voice has worn from memory.*

Aisha: *flings her hand holding the bottle into the air* All right, let's PLAY!



*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Not much to say, only this sure is fun! I should be idiotic more often! ^_^;;
