The game had started rather depressing. Liam had let his eyes drift from one person to the next until Austin had addressed the issue to kick things into a less...death and destruction sort of direction. The entire point of the game was to take their minds off the crazy s**t they were currently having to deal with. Even Liam, who generally hated this game, had seen the value of that.
He'd also seen the value in drinking. And had been, where applicable, and possibly a few times between rounds.
He was good and drunk by the time more familiar faces showed up. Corey and Harper, both receiving a rather lazy grin and a salute of his glass.
Then things took an unexpected turn that was hard to follow(mostly because Liam's player was at work for the last three hours and missed s**t). Austin's name, spoken loudly, and then the resounding sound of a hand striking a cheek. Liam stared, wide eyed, in disbelief at the girl that had just struck the boy sitting beside him.

Many drunken pouts.
"Maybe you should fix that first," he pointed lazily at the scuffle going on.

After the initial shock of someone being slapped, Harper leaned over and picked up the glasses on the floor near Liam and placed them into Austin’s hand. The lens was still missing.

"Mmmm...." Squinting through the faint blur of her vision at what he meant by 'that', she assessed the situation and turned back to him with a sad shake of her head.
"Not in my budget for this fiscal year. Ask the Dean."

Truth be told, she probably would have run off again just as soon as she'd struck Austin. She twisted away from the grip on her shoulder in the same moment she heard Cecil's voice and realized it was him trying to calm her down.
"No!" She practically screeched, and in a blink that rage was turning on Cecil as well. She tried to push away from him, so at least Cecil was - for the time being - not looking to be next in line for a nice, red mark on his cheek.
"You heard him too, I know you did!" Hitsu shouted, new tears already streaking her cheeks because he'd deterred her from running away before that a*****e Austin saw her break down. "And you're over here wasting your time right with him!"

"God damn." He put the glasses on, blinked once, and took them off again -- shaking his head just a little bit, unhappily. He wiggled a finger meaningfully through the empty lens at Harper in a meaningful sort of way. Austin's eyes didn't quite focus like this. His prescription was strong, these glasses were middling, and now he didn't even seem to have that. But maybe he could rig it back into place.
"It's a shame there's no Midol in the apocalypse. Or chocolate? Sadly, I gave the last I had away..."

After the initial shock had warn off, and after Harper had found the frames, Liam frowned and slipped off his chair to search the floor around their feet. He found them, one at a time, between the leg's of Austin's chair, and out away from the table. When he straightened he took the frames from Auston's hand, popped the lenses back in, and handed them back.
Then, still having not said anything, he stepped around, forcing her back if he had to, to stand between them. "Back off." It was probably the firmest anyone gathered had ever heard him speaking, and it was punctuated with a cold, narrow-eyed stare.
He knew Austin was an a**. He knew that better than anyone else here, but that had been over the line.

"Mmm... but aren't you the Dean?" he spoke slowly, clinking their glasses and letting out a drunken chuckle at the end.
"I guess we can leave that to HR."

Hitsu might have had her attention on Cecil, but she heard the comment Austin made. All too clear.
She was whipping around the moment that the suggestion of Midol reached her ears. "FUNNY BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO BE THE ONE BLEEDING!" Hitsu screamed with rage effectively tripled and she moved to lunge at him. She'd go through Liam if she had to.

Harper only shrugged when Austin wiggled his fingers into the empty frames, if Liam hadn’t found them she would have at least tried to look. She gave Liam a small smile, as if to say thanks for doing it before she could. It was a shame though that contacts weren’t really feasible during the apocalypse.
As for the Midol comment, she felt even less sorry for the slap that was delivered to him. Still she got to her feet and stood near Liam if anything three people could at least pull them off of one another if it got any worse.

Suddenly those eyes full of fury were on him and Cecil couldn't help the smile that awkwardly stretched his face. Rising his hands in a means of surrender he tried to get her to calm. "Hitsu, just breath. It's alright we not-"
And then Austin drove the nail into the coffin. Honestly Cecil didn't know Hitsu could be so mad. Why were tiny people so angry? "Hitsu NO!"
He reached for the girl the moment she lunged and plucked her off the ground so that her leverage was gone. He held her aloft despite the pain that was radiating down his side and through his arm but he held her still. "Please calm down!"

There were thumb prints on the lenses now: Austin carefully took the glasses off again to wipe them clean as possible on the hem of his shirt, and replaced them gingerly on his nose. Better -- still smudged, but better. He huffed out a sigh as he sat back, watching Cecil haul the girl off her feet -- at obvious pain to himself --
"...never have I ever, been slapped by a crazy asian girl."
And then he paused, as some memory slowly washed over him, and he ammended,
"........twice."
then he looked around to see if anyone else drank as he did.

The sudden whirlwind of activity was not kind on her presently compromised attention span. However, as things began to get more and more heated, and Austin made a certain shot, Corey pushed to her feet.
"Hey - HEY - Alright, everyone, calm down. Hitsu, back off. Austin, stop instigating s**t." She pointed at each of them in turn, though it seemed Cecil was taking care of their raging little companion. "What the hell is going on here?"

Liam had been ready, if not exactly willing, to do what was necessary to keep things for escalating further than they already had. It didn't make any damn sense to him why she was so man. Angry, sure, but this was full on rage, and over what? Something trivial, that didn't matter one little bit.
Needless to say, he was pretty grateful when Cecil grabbed Hitsu and hauled her back away from him before she could so much as swipe at him with her nails. He was also grateful for Harper's presence at his side, though din't have the time just then to acknowledge that. "It's just a dumb game, what's your problem? He's saying it to get a rise out of you, just ignore it!" Because he was so good at that, but that wasn't the point. Regardless of whether or not he took his own advise, it was still valid.
Thankfully Corey intervened, putting a--hopefully--stop to the violence. Liam, still disgusted, still inebriated, sank back down in his chair with an angry huff.
Time to get things back on track here.
"Never have I ever kissed a girl with freckles."
He didn't drink. Just sat there, hand around his glass, and did not look in Harper's direction.
