Chapter 3: G'day friendsh
It was an hour later when Tsukasa had finished the bottle of Sake. Now that he was used to the taste, he decided that he loved it and couldn't get enough. The burning had settled to a dull, comforting warmth. He was happy, truly happy for the first time in months for the light haze that had settled over him drove away the darkness, the dreams, the memories as a wind drives away dandelion seeds. Tsukasa actually laughed, though his random chuckle brought a few odd looks from others in the bar. However, they only thought that either this one was drinking in the real world at the same time, or was just having fun roleplaying it up, as it were.
"Hey barman!" called the wavemaster after he'd drained the last drop. "Can you get anotha bottle? Thish one's a'empty." Suddenly, Tsukasa hiccuped. Then he hiccuped again. Somehow, the wavemaster found this irrepressibly funny and began to laugh. It was several minutes before his joyful gales faded. The barman brought another bottle over and Tsukasa brought out the required GP.
"An' anotha one for th'road," he slurred.
The barman did just that, even going so far as to put it in a bag for Tsukasa. With a deranged grin, the wavemaster took the one for the road and set it right next to his staff. Then, he took the bottle of Sake he had ordered right before that and opened it. Sighing, Tsukasa took a swig strait from the decanter. This bottle he finished in a much more timely manner. Then, he set it on the counter next to the first, picked up his staff in one hand and other bottle in the other, and sauntered out of the tavern, the eyes of other players following his unsteady gate with amused interest.
"G'bye!" he called over his shoulder to those within the gloomy room. "I'm off t'meet my friensh…"
In any world, Tsukasa could not have passed the strait line test in this state. Therefore, he wove and stumbled his way through the side streets, back to the main area of Mac Anu. People stared at him and his odd saunter. One person laughed and murmured to his friends that Johnny Depp had returned from the dead and gotten an account in the World. Sadly, the actor had died a year or so previous in an automobile accident.
Despite the rather unsteady and awkward gate of Tsukasa, he did eventually make it back to the Chaos Gate. It was then, leaning against the wall of a building, that he opened his third bottle of Sake and took a swig.
"Glorious stuff!" he called with a thick laugh. "Absolutely wonderful!"
Seeing that none of his friends were there, Tsukasa sent a flashmail to Mimiru saying, "So sorry about before. Meet me at the chaos gate of Mac Anu."
Then, it occurred to the wavemaster that he wanted to see all his friends. Therefore, he sent a flashmail to Bear, BT, Subaru and even Sora. He received a reply from Mimiru and Bear saying that they would be there soon, a message saying that BT was not logged in, nor was Subaru and another message from Sora saying that he would be there in five minutes.
Tsukasa laughed. The wavemaster never noticed that his cheeks were quite pink and his nose was a tad on the red side. He took another drink of his Sake and paused, listening. He heard the background music and laughed again. Then, the wavemaster began to dance, jumping about the chaos gate, almost to the beat of the music.
He was just completing a pirouette when Mimiru and Bear warped in. Their jaws dropped and their eyes went quite wide. The two just gaped for several long moments until Sora warped in. Then it was three who stood gaping.
"G'day friendsh," giggled Tsukasa waving his staff over his headin greeting. "Ishn't it a wonderful day?"
He paused in his erratic exuberance to take another drink of Sake. Then, the wavemaster danced around some more. Several players with no connection to him or his friends at all had gathered in a small crowd to watch. Suddenly, Sora burst out laughing himself.
"I wouldn't believe it if I wasn't watching it, but I do believe Tsukasa's drunk!"

Author stuff!
So, how do you like my angst / humor story? I had fun with this one!
Soon I'll do the next chapter of Tsukasa's intoxication... Then, I might do another chapter when Tsukasa gets a hangover, but that's for another late night spent watching movies. Maybe the hangover part will be written under the influence of music instead of a movie… Nirvana, perhaps? Wait… They're druggies… Oh well, you can still get hangovers from doing drugs…
IMPORTANT NOTE: NO, I do not drink nor do I do drugs… I get drunk off of life in general… J
