...How could she have forgotten?
Well, considering everything that had been happening lately, Eva supposed that it wasn't that big of a shock that she had forgotten her own birthday. Somehow, she had lost herself in all of her training and the missions, and so it wasn't until tonight--a good four or so days later--that she realized that she was no longer twenty.
Wow.
She had never really been one for big birthday celebrations, so missing out on it wasn't too big of a disappointment...but thinking about her lonely birthday here did bring back memories of home and of her parents. The moment her mother and father came to mind, the girl grimaced and shook her head, her expression pained.
Doesn't turning twenty-one have some kind of special meaning for you humans, Eva? Chara suddenly spoke up, obviously trying to distract her. Chuckling, the black-haired girl scratched the back of her head.
"Well yeah," She answered aloud as she walked down the hall, turning the corner, "It means that now that I'm twenty-one, I'm finally legal to drink."

There were a few really, really good ways to summon yourself a Clerise: 1. Mention Clarice 2. Mention sex or its related acts 3. Mention booze. Clerise had been about to enter the stairwell to the third floor, but a certain familiar voice curled into her ear. And that precious voice piped up about alcohol. In a flash, the redhead was thunderously dashing down the hall, sprinting at top speed until her suspicions were confirmed: It had been Eva.A devilish grin spread upon her lips, and there was a curious glint in her eyes. She threw herself at the other girl, easily picking her up and spinning her a little. "Eva!" she crowed, triumphant already. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME IT WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY. YOUR TWENTY FIRST BIRTHDAY, AT THAT?"

"AH-HA!"
A blonde spun from around the corner, pointing at the pair.
"She was all weasily and wouldn't tell me her Birthday when I asked! So when was it, huh?"

"Wha--Clerise!" The young woman's surprise turned to delight as she was lifted up and spun, and she laughed as she leaned down to wrap her arms around Clerise's neck for a quick hug. "Haha, I didn't think it was that important to note! Besides, even I didn't remember, so--"
She cut herself off when another familiar voice called from down the hallway. Lips splitting into a wide grin, she turned and fluttered her fingers at Otto innocently. "I don't know what you're talking about, Puppy. Who said anything about birthdays?"

Clerise laughed raucously, spinning Eva one more time before putting her down. She smirked at Otto, lifting her head in acknowledgement before turning back to the Death huntress, shaking her by the shoulders a little.
"NOT IMPORTANT? I hope you're kidding!"
She poked Eva right in the side, in between the ribs. "Don't you lie to Prodigy! I heard you! Loud and clear, missy."
Clerise pouted.
"I am extremely depressed that I can't take you out to a nice bar. It's a good thing I use bribery a lot around here, because that means I still have some precious alcohol."

Squirrely to the last moment, that Eva. Otto huffed and crossed his arms, nodding along with what Clerise was screeching over.
What was this though? Promise of drinks with two of his favorite ladies? Otto managed a brief smirk. "I'm in. Let's get wasted."
No age rules in International Waters, yo.

Eva flinched at the poke, but she never stopped grinning, giving an airy wave of her hand. "What's another year? I mean, sure I'm twenty-one now, but it's not like I can have my first drink until the portals are--"
--wait what. She fell silent, her mouth still open as she turned to look at Clerise. Wait, she er...she had some? Here? Mouth still slightly hanging open, her gaze darted between one friend to the other.
...
"W-wait, you guys," She held up both hands in front of herself, "Are you serious? Now?"

Clerise cackled, mischief glinting in her red eyes. "What, so like, three drinks? I bet I can drink you both under the table." She turned to Eva. "Pfft! It's a landmark!" Clerise put a hand on her hip, winking at Otto. "I mean, yeah. Unless you've got a duty lined up for the evening. We don't even have to raid the kitchen for mixers, because I do that anyway. I mean, it's nothing fancy, because our kitchen is more spartan than a guy in a leather codpiece, but whatever." Grabbing at Eva's wrist, Clerise gave a playful tug. "It'll be fun!"

Otto looked a little uncertain, his eyes gazing elsewhere. "Yeah, I bet you can too." He didn't outright admit he was a lightweight. They'd find out soon enough.
Regardless, he'd follow along. "Don't resist, Eva. Have some fun."

Really? Drinking now? The girl looked hesitant, but she let out a sigh at Clerise's playful tug and Otto's insistence. Peer pressure? Maybe, but had it been anyone but Clerise and Otto, she probably would have made more of an effort to resist. Since it was these two though...
Chuckling, Eva smiled and shrugged helplessly, easily giving in to the encouragement. "I've only ever had a little wine, so I'm not sure how my alcohol tolerance is...but I guess we'll find out today, yeah? You're on, Clerise."
Would she regret this? Only time would tell.

Clerise's grin was cheshire in nature, wide and sparkling with amusement.
"Yeah, Prodigy knows all about fun. You should ask him to show you his backflips and aerial acrobatics sometime," she said, chest puffing up with pride. "He's awesome! Not as awesome as me, but. Well." Clerise let go of Eva to reach out and noogie Otto. "Prodigy is a prodigy, for sure."
As Eva gave in, Clerise did a straight up fist pump. "Excellence!~ To the room!~!"
Clarice would be out in her office, and the redhead gave her superior a quick text to let her know the to-be-hilarious situation. "I'm up on the third floor. Shalllll we?" Clerise pointed to the stairs, bowing a little, indicating they should head up first.

Oh.. did Eva know he did that sort of stuff? Guess she did now. His eyes drifted away from the girls, until Clerise noogied him back to Earth. "Ghk.." He struggled until he was free again, adjusting his hat to his liking again.
Welp. Guess it was party time with the ladies.

"Backflips?"
Eva was beside Otto in an instant, squishing his cheeks between her hands as she stared at him with wide--and quite possibly sparkling--eyes. "Yes, yes, show me sometime, Puppy!" Ahhh, Clerise taught her puppy tricks! How excitin--
--Oh wait, right. Drinking. Grinning, Eva promptly dropped her hands from the poor blond's face, chuckling a little at Clerise's bow. "Can do. Sorry for intruding though, Clerise." She obediently began to move up the stairs, two steps at a time and a slight spring in her step.
Okay, so while she was a little anxious about this drinking thing, she was a little excited too. What could go wrong, right?

"Don't you make sound effects at me, mister," Clerise said, wagging a finger playfully at him. The trek up the stairs was a quick one, as was getting into the room. The bed was made, large and white, taking up most of the room. She gave Eva a wink. "Backflips. Totally. It's why he's Prodigy-- he picked up like, aerial flips and s**t in a heartbeat." Clerise waved them into the room, shutting the door behind them. "Sorry we don't have chairs," she said, apologetic. "Sit, and I'll beee riiightt...back..." She was gone for a few moments, disappearing into the bathroom. Clerise returned with a handle of rum, a handle of vodka, a six pack of coke, and a large bottle of lemonade. In her arms was also some cups, large and blue and plastic. Taking a seat on the floor, the redhead grinned. "Rum and coke, or vodka and lemonade?"

"Yeah sure.." Otto murmured, scratching his cheek. It was kind of odd to be bragged about like this. He'd only really shown Clerise the moves, so far. Doing arial flips and cartwheels in battle never really came up.
Otto looked around the large room, eyes lingering on the giant bed. Damn. He was a fan of beds, and that was a good one.
The teen sat on te floor, leaning back on his hands until Clerise came back. "One of both." If he was going to get drunk on one drink alone, he may as well go all out. Only because he trusted Eva and Clerise. He liked them, so he'd et himself get silly for them.
