Welcome to Gaia! ::

We`rika shrieked like a rabid bat and launched himself back into his seat with a laugh, ignoring all the strange stares they were getting. "I dun think I've had enough booze ta allow such sass from ya, misser...!"

"Gentlemen..." It was the voice of an anxious waitress. "If you want to keep drinking, ya have to do it elsewhere. This is a family restaurant."

"Psssh..." The shaman fizzled boldly before doing his best to selfishly down what he could of the pitcher before they took it away from them. Alcohol reeeaally brought the brat out of We`rika. "Thas fine ah go' some harder shi' a' home... Uhhh...." How were they paying for this? Rifling through his wallet, We`rika pulled put what he had, a twenty, and tapped it on the table dramatically. "Can ya ge' th'res', babes...?" He slid as gracefully (which wasn't much) from the booth and waited for Alice to follow him outside.

We`rika stood by trashcan close by, lighting up a cigarette with his lighter before pocketing it again. Taking a large drag, his long ears twitched back and he turned, pulling the cancer stick out of his mouth. "So ya wanna take this party back ta my house? I go' a bottle of tequila tha' needs emptyin'... You'll hafta leave yer car, bu' is no big deal... This parkin' lots go' a few bars on th'strip so they dun mind as long as ya pick 'em up like th'nex' mornin'..." He took another drag and blew it into the wind. "M'no' far from this place...."

"Oh mah ********' ********!! Mah chocola'e! Thanks, man..." Stepping over, he took the box from his friend, seeing the roses nestled under his arm. Augh, We`rika felt embarrassed. "Ah, sorry.... Din' mean ta... Slipped my mind." He truly hadn't meant to leave him and he hoped Alice knew that. Smiling impishly, he opened the lid. "Whi'e chocola'e an' tequila! Rawww, this'll be a fun nigh'...!" The shaman laughed bawdily before patting Alice forward.

H'ooo what a weird night. Fun though. He wasn't really expecting it. But......... yeah, it was fun. It had been a long time since he had fun with another person. As much as he ******** hated ******** ******** Valentine's Day, if he had a choice, he'd still do it over again. NOT THAT THIS WAS A DATE! No. But it was still fun. We`rika just hoped they didn't make too much noise to wake up Sevilin.

After driving Alice back to his car, We`rika stood at the front of his door concentrating very very hard. He was staring at the lock as his key strayed left and right with everything slow thrust. Sly little ********, dodging his attacks. He tried again and finally the key met the hole and he unlocked his door, stumbling right on in. It had been a good eight hours since he passed out and h'oooshit he was still feeling the burn.

"Hey!"

We`rika looked up to see Sevilin on the couch with the TV on.

"So how was--last... night...?" The little Frei's glowing face began to pale in fright with every word as his guardian stalked closer.

"Las' nigh'...? Oh, ya mean with th'girl and her friend?"

"W-Well ya know... I didn't think you'd go out with a friend if I didn't.... fib a lil..."

"Yeah fibbin' fer yer ********' candy, a lying lil mer... Of which I a'e all of--"

"H'ONO YOU DIDN'T?! But! Those... were my favorite!!"

"Well nex' time dun lie so ya can weasel somethin' outta someone..." With that, the shaman walked back to his room, leaving Sevilin crestfallen and slumped on the couch.

Sevilin's eyes were hallow as the stared lifelessly at the floor. His master plan... ruined. He thought it was so flawless in its execution! Even if We`rika inevitably found out he had been duped, shouldn't he see that his ward was only trying to cheer him up with a buddy! THUS! The candy should be a reward for his magnificent effort! GOD WE`RIKA HOW COULD YOU?! Wahhhh!

Head lolling to the side, the blue Raevan pulled his hair back from his face and saw--

"A fish!" Dangling beside him for who knows how long by a familiar Mexican hand.

"Ya ge' one mmkay? Yer penance for lyin', even if th'nigh' worked ou'..." The huichol flung it in his hands and walked off. Truthfully, he still had them all left, mainly because after a few shots of tequila and a few bites of white chocolate starfish left We`rika spewing his guts out with Alice holding back his hair. (That's how you know you have a good friend, mmhmm.) He'd ration them out for good behavior, or more likely when Sevilin uses his puppy eyes on him, or when he inevitably finds where he hid them.
