[wildest]

Characters: Kotetsu, Barnaby & Hughes

Time: March 5th, late evening
Description: two oyajis decide to chill and a poor bunny gets dragged along for the fun

[If there was any word you could use to describe the last few days Kotetsu and Barnaby recently had, 'hectic' seemed like the best one. Along with a whole bunch of other ones. It just seemed like no matter what, they couldn't seem to catch a break in Death City for too long and before Kotetsu could find himself practically tearing out his hair in frustration, a solution had dawned on him. What did people usually do in order to relax from such a stressful state of events?

...well really, what did Kotetsu do to relax from stress? Drink. And it just so happened that he recalled promising a certain someone a night of drinks. Perfect! The only real task was convincing his stingy shut-in of a partner to come along, and after a whole lot of convincing and whining (mostly whining), Kotetsu and Barnaby finally found themselves inside Bitch's Brew, Kotetsu keeping an eye out for wherever Hughes happened to be. Initially he'd been a little wary of going into the place until he'd had his own infrequent trips there and he realized that aside from the unfortunate name of sorts, the bar really wasn't that bad. And hey, any bar was a good bar as long as it had decent booze and a good atmosphere.]

Oh--! There he is! [Finally catching sight of the person that would make them a trio for a few hours, Kotetsu gave one last tug of Barnaby's arm before making his way over to the front of the bar, waving a hand happily to get Hughes' attention.] Oooi! Hope we didn't keep ya waitin' too long!

[Barnaby liked being a stingy shut-in, thank you. Really, tonight would have been perfect. After all of that chaos that had overtaken their past few days, he really wanted to spend his time off of work sitting at his desk researching the recent crimes going on in Death City. Things happening here were becoming far too similar to what had been happening in Sternbild, and he wanted to focus on that. And with a new arrival from their own world, and Kotetsu becoming nothing but a wound up yo-yo, Barnaby really just wanted to take the time for himself and just read things.

Buuuut no. Of course not. Kotetsu had damned near driven him up the wall with every childish pout and accompanying insult known to man until he had caved. And he only caved to save himself from an impending headache... Except, as they finally reached the bar, he knew nothing good would come of this. Drinking at home was one thing; drinking at a bar, with Kotetsu, and company, was a whole new can of worms. And there was no way to turn back now.

Biting back a sigh, he just mentally told himself he wouldn't drink too much. Two, maybe three tops, because he'd be saddled with a drunken partner and probably their drunken company as well, so it would be safer if they had at least one semi-sober person in the group. To prevent from headache in the morning, Barnaby wanted to take this position. So with that...

Time to play nice and smile. Hell, he even gave a small wave of greeting as Kotetsu shuffled him over. Hello, Mr. Hughes, Kotetsu #3, a pleasure to be your DD.]
