[shoos Hisoka in the direction of the Tezuka Bar & Grille]<\/p>\n
Tezuka: …the what<\/em>?<\/p>\n \n Surely you’re not content dispensing booze from a paper bag, Tezuka? <\/p>\n \n Tezuka: …<\/p>\n \n My point exactly. You needed an establishment.<\/p>\n Tezuka: *grumbling* Am I at least going to get some in return for the Hell \n *floored* Tezuka! <\/p>\n \n Tezuka: *prim* As long as Echizen is grown up, and not on my team *eyes Sanada* \n Really? Well, in that case… *thoughtful*<\/p>\n Sanada: There’s nothing wrong with team bonding.<\/p>\n \n Niou: Or team bondage. [leer]<\/p>\n \n Sanada: …<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: …<\/p>\n \n Niou: I win!<\/p>\n Haru-chan! *high fives*<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: *steadfastly ignoring this* Sanada, I really don’t think he has any \n Sanada: *growls* I couldn’t agree more. Take a hike, Niou, they couldn’t \n Niou: *lazy smile* Make me.<\/p>\n \n *author cackles in the background*<\/p>\n Tezuka: …bouncers. We need bouncers<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n Niou: I could be your bouncer.<\/p>\n Tezuka: We need bouncers to get rid of you<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n Sanada: Perhaps that thug from Yamabuki?<\/p>\n Tezuka: *dubious* Perhaps. If he could manage it, what with all the toothmarks.<\/p>\n \n Akutsu: *lounging on barstool* Hell yes, I can manage it. What’s in it for \n Sanada: *promptly* Free drinks.<\/p>\n Akutsu: Sold. <\/p>\n Tezuka: Wait a minute, is this Tezuka’s<\/em> Bar & Grille, or Sanada’s<\/em> \n Sanada: You were wibbling. I had to take prompt action.<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: I wasn’t wibbling! I was considering calling his references.<\/p>\n \n Sanada: Wibbling.<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: Looking before leaping.<\/p>\n \n Sanada: Wibbling.<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: Considering other options.<\/p>\n \n Niou and Akutsu: [eye Tezuka and Sanada]<\/p>\n \n Niou: [shrugs] Whatever. Pour me a drink?<\/p>\n \n Akutsu: Sure.<\/p>\n I’ve been convinced for a Very Long Time that it’s a pretty tough thing, to \n It’s really no wonder that Tezuka-muse has taken to drink.<\/p>\n Tezuka: I was driven<\/em> to drink. Get it right.<\/p>\n \n Meep! Sorry, sorry.<\/p>\n *wibbles* Mitsu-chaaaan! *cuddles Tezuka* I promise we won’t torture you anymore!<\/p>\n Tezuka: *sighs* It’s part of the job, and I knew that when I took it.<\/p>\n \n *big wobbly eyes*<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: *more briskly* And don’t make promises you can’t keep, Madam.<\/p>\n \n *sniffs* Okay.<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: *wry look* This is how you get around Yukimura, isn’t it?<\/p>\n \n Well, yeah. *thoughtful* Doesn’t work as well on Hatter, though.<\/p>\n Belial: That is because one invented<\/em> most of those tricks. [smug]<\/p>\n \n [pets Tezuka] Poor sweet baby. It can’t have been any fun at all for him \n Sanada: [twitch] "Poor sweet baby"? [twitchtwitch]<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: [warning] Sanada—<\/p>\n \n Sanada: [howls, pounding the table] Bwahahahahahahah!<\/p>\n Niou: They’re pretty fun like this, aren’t they? *holds out glass*<\/p>\n \n Akutsu: *pours refills* You’re easily amused. It was a lot more fun when \n Niou: You’re psychotic. I like that.<\/p>\n Akutsu: Wait, you do?<\/p>\n \n Niou: [lazy grin] Doesn’t everyone?<\/p>\n \n Akutsu: Not that I’ve noticed. <\/p>\n \n Sanada: [still laughing]<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: [turning progressively darker shades of red] Sanada, I’m warning \n Niou: [sitting up] Hold on, I think it’s about to get interesting.<\/p>\n \n Akutsu: What, they’re finally going to fuck and get it over with?<\/p>\n Ryouma: They’d better not be. I haven’t spent so much time letting Ahobe screw \n Yagyuu: I’d heard you were a more direct person than that. That’s…intriguing.<\/p>\n \n Ryouma: I would be direct, but Buchou would tell me to stop, and then everything \n Niou: So where’d your captain get the talent of being selectively deaf?<\/p>\n \n Ryouma: *thoughtful* I think Fuji-senpai trained him into it.<\/p>\n \n Niou: That reminds me of a story about Sanada…<\/p>\n \n Sanada: *abruptly stops laughing*<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: *smug*<\/p>\n *muffling chortles* Eriol is so very evil. Oh, yes.<\/p>\n \n *pets Hiyoshi* There, there, the scary man is gone. For now.<\/p>\n \n Hiyoshi: *dark look* Excuse me, I have to go look for that bar I keep hearing Sanada: *Looks at Hiyoshi* Here, have a glass. <\/p>\n \n Hiyoshi: Thanks. *glares at Tezuka* This is all your fault.<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: …*hands over the bottle*<\/p>\n Now… where shall Tsuzuki wind up? *claps hands* Let’s play musical \n Hisoka: Drop dead<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n What, before I even get the two of you in bed? *innocent look*<\/p>\n \n Hisoka: …I hate you so very much. <\/p>\n \n Ah, I feel so accomplished.<\/p>\n Ryouma: You know, if you’re looking for a way out of being in the middle of \n Tezuka: Echizen, please confine your recruiting efforts to those who are \n Ryouma: But you always tell us that a good leader makes sure that everyone \n Tezuka: …I’m going back to the bar.<\/p>\n Hisoka: *latching grimly onto Tezuka’s arm* Don’t, for one second, think you’re \n Ryouma: *thoughtful* Maybe I should make some flyers to post at the bar…<\/p>\n Maybe Ryoma should include a fully stocked bar at Sampras. I’m sure people Ryouma: I’m probably not going to call it the Tezuka Bar and Grill.<\/p>\n \n Me: Only because he’d kill you.<\/p>\n Setsuna: Hey, does the Tezuka Bar and Grill serve the Body and Blood of Christ? <\/p>\n \n Tezuka: ….<\/p>\n \n Ryouma: Stop that. He’s fragile.<\/p>\n [pets Astaroth]<\/p>\n \n Poor dear.<\/p>\n He’s definitely getting the short end of the stick from everyone. Maybe we And molest Kajimoto, too.<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: [to Kajimoto] Run. Run now.<\/p>\n *sparkles* You read my mind! I was thinking that the \n Kajimoto: *sprints*<\/p>\n \n Fuji: *trips him* Oops. So<\/em> sorry about that. Now, was there something \n Belial: *begging* Are you absolutely sure<\/em> one can’t have him?<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: *at end of rope* No, you can’t have Fuji, because he’s mine, damn \n Fuji: *raises brows* I am?<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: *growls*<\/p>\n \n Ryouma: Ne, Fuji-senpai, I’ll arm wrestle you for him.<\/p>\n \n Kajimoto: *still slightly winded* What is this place?<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: Hell.<\/p>\n \n Sanada: Worse. Care for a drink?<\/p>\n Em: He’s not "the Bendy Buchou" in my head for nothing.<\/p>\n \n Kajimoto: …I’ll take that drink now, please. Make it a strong one.<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: Of course.<\/p>\n \n Fuji: [to Ryouma] Echizen, why so possessive? Have you learned nothing from \n Belial: ;_; One wants him for one’s collection so very much.<\/p>\n \n Ryouma: [reflecting] …share, huh?<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: [pours himself a drink, too]<\/p>\n Ooo, that’s right, he is flexible, isn’t he? Well, that will go right along \n Kajimoto: *turns pale*<\/p>\n \n Mizuki: *pats his shoulder* Now, don’t worry too much. She’s the nice one; \n Fuji: Much.<\/p>\n \n Mizuki: It’s the other one you have to watch out for.<\/p>\n \n *distant look* He’d be really pretty<\/em> in, say, some nice cuffs. A \n Mizuki: …maybe.<\/p>\n I was going to say… Mizuki, babe, you don’t know us well at all<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n Mizuki: Yes, but I do know that you<\/em> enjoy having your heart twisted \n Everyone has a kink, dear.<\/p>\n \n Mizuki: Some of us prefer our kinks to be sane, and less painful than having \n Kajimoto: [waves empty glass] Refill please.<\/p>\n \n Sanada: Coming right up.<\/p>\n Fuji: Sane? *leans over Mizuki* Like, say, baiting someone you know likes to \n Mizuki: *calmly* Like the Author said, everyone has their kinks.<\/p>\n \n Kajimoto: *hopefully* Can you give him to this Astaroth person, instead? \n Not really, not when Tsuzuki’s already taken an interest in him. Do you know \n Kajimoto: *gloomily* Fuck.<\/p>\n \n I can arrange that, yeah.<\/p>\n \n Sanada: Word of advice. Don’t give this one straight lines like that.<\/p>\n \n Tezuka: Just remember, we’ll be here for you when it’s over.<\/p>\n \n Kajimoto: *glassy-eyed*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Author and Muse comments on the side, part two.
