asks 2008-09-01T13:01:19.000Z
if Kyouya and Kusakabe went out already.
"Ah." she looks up and blinks owlishly. "Yeah, they left about thirty minutes ago."
Chrome
says 2008-09-01T13:13:03.000Z
"oh." and flops down on a chair beside her. "... busy day?" she nods towards all the papers strewn on the countertop
"Well, I suppose you could say it was, although my usual definition of "busy" means fighting." she chuckles.
Paperwork's the thing I hate the most about this sort of job.
Chrome
says 2008-09-01T13:20:35.000Z
I didn't know there was paperwork at all. How do you write a report on how you, um, took care of a rival group, and all that?
Well, in the case of the Vongole, you have to outline all the details.
How you killed him, where you killed him, how long it took you, whether you got hurt in the process and if anyone saw you.
They pay you using a point system based on how well you did, by their judgment.
Chrome
is 2008-09-01T13:29:16.000Z
surprised that all that needs to be detailed. And that a point system exists for kills.
Chrome
says 2008-09-01T13:31:29.000Z
so it just won't do if you simply kill your target, but you have to do it in a way that... would get you paid well and ranked well too?
Yep. That's how you separate the dregs from the pros.
Chrome
is 2008-09-01T13:35:09.000Z
nodding and thinking over that particular piece of information.
Squalo will probably explain the Varia's standards to you when it occurs for him to do so.
Chrome
wonders 2008-09-01T13:36:53.000Z
what Kaoko's rank is withink the mafia world
steps in at that moment, announcing his intrusion politely and bowing to both of them.
Chrome
says 2008-09-01T13:42:42.000Z
ah, good evening, Kusakabe-san. Kyouya-san is...?
He went to see Cavallone-san in the hotel. o_o
...Hum. I guess that means he might not come home again.
Cavallone takes up an awful amount of his time.
Chrome
says 2008-09-01T13:49:18.000Z
... ah. ^^
Do you need me to do anything for you, Kaoko-san? I am free for the evening. :0
Nothing beyond the usual, Tetsu-kun. Thanks.
back to working, looking slightly irritated.
"Understood, ma'am." he bows, and takes his leave.
Chrome
2008-09-01T13:51:37.000Z
wanted to ask him if he wanted to just hang out with them, but he was just as quickly out of the room.
Chrome
2008-09-01T13:55:18.000Z
notices Kaoko's irritation. She eases of her chair and goes to the fridge. "Would you like anything to drink?"
Bring out that bottle of Tequiila Rose. I think I'd like some tonight.
Chrome
2008-09-01T13:57:00.000Z
brings out said bottle, gets two shot glasses from the cupboard and brings it all to the counter table.
notices the fact that Chrome brought out a glass for herself, and flashes the girl a smile. "You've got taste."
Chrome
gives 2008-09-01T14:02:39.000Z
her an apologetic grin. "... I opened it earlier and took a sniff. It smelled really sweet ^^ And I'd like to taste it."
Chrome
2008-09-01T14:18:23.000Z
opened the bottle and carefully poured a measure of the drink in both shot glasses. Chrome hands Kaoko her glass and raises hers in salute
cheers to her also, and downs her shot in a single go.
Chrome
is 2008-09-01T14:22:43.000Z
all 0_o at the way the older woman downed her drink. She looks at her own, squares her shoulders, and also downs her drink in one go.
already pouring herself a second. "Haaa~"
Chrome
feels 2008-09-01T14:24:03.000Z
that sweetness trace a rather fiery path down her throat and to her stomach.
Chrome
says 2008-09-01T14:25:50.000Z
... haaah! That was... ah, something! >_<"
Chrome
thinks 2008-09-01T14:24:17.000Z
that the alcohol was a bit irritating to her nose, but the sweetness of the drink made it bearable to drink
Is it your first time to try a hard drink?
Chrome
2008-09-01T14:27:35.000Z
nods. "Ken and Chikusa would give me beer sometimes when they're drinking, but not anything hard."
Chrome
is 2008-09-01T14:28:06.000Z
also pouring herself a second shot already ^^
Oho. Well, now that you're living here, you're going to have to learn what to drink.
You've got the holding your liquor part down pat by default. :3
Chrome
has 2008-09-01T14:35:36.000Z
had a bit of practice with that. Seeing Ken throw up quite a number of times taught her not to drink so fast ^^;
leans back, swishing her drink about in its glass. "We'll drag Kyouya in to join us next time we crack another bottle open~"
Chrome
2008-09-01T14:39:18.000Z
drank her second shot and savored the sweetness of the flavor while trying not to be overwhelmed by the tequila part
watches the girl with approval.
Chrome
2008-09-01T14:54:21.000Z
put down the shot glass on the counter with a grin on her face. She's liking this Tequila Rose drink a lot~ ^^
Chrome
2008-09-01T14:54:45.000Z
reaches for the bottle and pours herself her third!
Heh. I wish I could get Kyouya to drink like this.
Chrome
asks 2008-09-01T14:56:06.000Z
He doesn't drink? At all? 0_o
Only a little, even though he's got the guts for it.
Sans the smoking and the pervert lover, he's a straight-laced kid. For the most part.
Chrome
2008-09-01T15:00:19.000Z
giggles at the "pervert lover" part. She's a bit tipsy by now >_< "He smokes but doesn't drink. My mother used to say..."
Chrome
2008-09-01T14:58:21.000Z
pauses at that, frowns, and just knocks down the third shot.
Chrome
2008-09-01T14:58:29.000Z
*drinks down
watching Chrome with some amusement. She's a little surprised that the girl can get tipsy, given her unique physiology.
Chrome
says 2008-09-01T15:01:43.000Z
"... you can't drink if you don't smoke, or vice-versa... or something like that"
Chrome
wonders 2008-09-01T15:11:41.000Z
why Kaoko was chuckling ._.?
Chrome
2008-09-01T15:12:29.000Z
while she pours her fourth of the night
reaches out and takes the girl's glass, finishing it off for her.
I think we'll stop there for you, young lady.
Chrome
says 2008-09-01T15:18:11.000Z
Ah? But...
Baby steps, baby steps~ :3
Chrome
is 2008-09-01T15:22:16.000Z
all 0__o "Um... okay, Kaoko-san"
leans back again, breathing out a satisfied sigh. Quiet nights like these are hard to find.
Chrome
will 2008-09-01T15:26:21.000Z
take that sigh as a signal for her to go up to her room. Kaoko-san looked like she had been at those papers the whole day.
Chrome
says 2008-09-01T15:27:11.000Z
Kaoko-san, I'll be going to my room to sleep now. Um... thank you for letting me drink that ^^
Oh, heading up so soon? All right. o_o
Sleep well.
Chrome
says 2008-09-01T15:27:58.000Z
... you should rest now too.
In a bit~ I'll just finish this batch.
Chrome
says 2008-09-01T15:36:26.000Z
Mm. Okay. Good night, Kaoko-san. Thank you.
Chrome
gives 2008-09-01T15:36:41.000Z
Kaoko-san a bow and heads out of the kitchen.
Chrome
2008-09-01T15:35:14.000Z
... if Kaoko-san hears some sort of thud moments later, that's just probably Chrome stumbling on the first step of the stairs >_<;
