"...Yeah, it's perfect," Ige groaned.
Ige outstretched his arms, seemingly done drinking for the day. "Well, you got like four people to hook-up at the dance, so I'd say you did good things. Uh, if that helps..."

Xhuli smiles in a show of genuine joy, "Oh yeah, at least they can thank me for that! Honestly, Mr. Ige, that does make me happy. If only I could do that for more of them..."
"You're done already?" she looks down at her fifth drink and just gulps it down. What had she put in that?

“Stop drinking all the orange juice.”

Nico passes through the bar on his way to somewhere else and stops once he notices the group of people.
"Oh! I wasn't expecting so many people in here. Is this a bad time?" He asks, unsure if there's been another argument or not.

"Is this orange juice? Whoa it's pretty good!" She mimes swaying from side to side in wooziness, but then she really falls backwards onto the floor, "Hehe, sorry about that!"
She gets back up off the ground and brushes off her skirt and hair, "I guess I just want one more before I'm done."
She notices Nico enter, "Heyyy! It's not a bad time, it's a good time!" She giggles at her own words. "I was just hoping someone my age would show up, have a drink?"

“We’re just hanging out.” Korrigan remarks as he assumes the pose of a bartender idly cleaning a glass that has already been cleaned like 3 times now.

"A drink? Like as in alcohol?" Nico asks, a little nervously. "I don't think that's a great idea..."
He raises an eyebrow at Korrigan. "Is she okay?" He asks.

"Oh and we're talking about what we would look like if we got changed by a magic demon! And what our dreams were before," Xhuli coos with a wistful look.
"Maybe we should do a drinking game! Ehehehe... It's good with friends!"

"Demon magic and dreams... That's an interesting choice of topics."
"But maybe we should ease up on the drinking. It seems like you've already had enough."

Xhuli pouts, "Well, I can slow down. I'll slow down until everyone else catches up!" She plays with her hair, trying to look cute.
"If you don't want to drink with me, that's fine..." she sighs. "I won't be mad..."
"But I need someone to do something with so..."

"Well... I guess I could have some juice or something if you wanted, but I don't know how much fun that'd be for you."

Xhuli shakes her head, "No, you're thinking about this wrong! I would love to just sit here and have some drinks together even if you weren't getting wasted. I'd even play a drinking game even if it didn't get us drunk. I just want to have fun!" This whole string of sentences sounds a lot like the Yugi of the last few weeks.
"The orange juice is really good... Or I'm sure Mr. Magno can make some virgin drinks."
She smiles and gets Nico some OJ.

Xhuli flops over one of the stools and makes a clatter as she climbs up it, "Yeah, has that been going okay? I don't want to be nosyyy though..."

"The orange juice is really good... Or I'm sure Mr. Magno can make some virgin drinks." She smiles and gets Nico some OJ. "If you're fine with that, then I guess I'll join you." Nico says then sits down next to Xhuli. "Where's Felix, anyways? Why aren't you two together?" His face flushes a bit. "I-I'm not sure, I haven't seen him in a while. I think things are okay?"

"Yes!!!" The glamourous girl cheers as Nico sits down by her. "Ooh maybe we could make smoothies? Do you like those?" She is eager to get something good for her friend.
"Geez, this place seems to cause drama," she creases her beautiful brow in thought. "But I'm sure it's nothing. After all, we all need a little bit of time on our own. Especially when we can't avoid each other easily in these hallways."

"Who doesn't like smoothies?" He laughs. "But don't worry about it! I'm fine with juice."
"Oh no, we're not fighting or anything! Things should be good!"

"Right, but... I mean, it's not like I know any more than I did before, but..." Xhuli stumbles over her own lips tongue for a second, covering her error with a smile. "I mean, sometimes friends need time away! Even when you're really close. That's all."
She takes this moment to fill up a glass again with another drink.

"Um... I don't think I know much more than you do..."
Nico quickly takes a sip of his juice.
"But yeah, some time apart is nice too! We don't always need to be together."

"Awesome!" Xhuli drinks another gulp and her tears get a little misty.
"You guys are just so cute together, I just want everyone to be happyyy! Have you been giving him giftss? Should we go to the workshop and all make something? Hehe." She laughs in spite of her tears.

Meanwhile, Caitlin had apparently circled the board all the way back to the library, where she sat a table before a stack of books. Rapidly, she began flipping through them, trying to find anything useful. It speaks volumes that the most worthwhile thing she could find in any book was a saucy picture of Monokuma. She screamed in frustration, threw the book at the wall, and left the library.
She passed through the bar again, looking a bit haggard and irritated. She hurriedly sat down and began drinking straight from a bottle of bourbon. Booze dripped down the sides of her mouth and down her chin as she miraculously chugged away. Once she finished the bottle (in record time, no less), she threw it at the wall where it shattered into pieces.
Only then did she realize there were other people in the room.

"Wooo!" Xhuli cheers standing up from her seat, laughing. "That was amazing!"
She clears her throat and looks at Caitlin with her big purple eyes, "What's wrong, Cait? Anything we can do?"

"Gah! Ya scared me with them big anime eyes," she said. "It's... nothing. It's nothing. Just don't worry about it. What're you all doing in here besides pissin' the day away?"

The pharaoh wears a little smirk, "Oh is it the usualll?" She wiggles her eyebrows.
"Anyway, we're just talking about deep stuff like our lives, love, and so on while enjoying a little bit of the beveragesss."

"The usual? What the hell're you going on about?" she asks rather defensively. "And, oh, that's... neat, I guess."

"Well, the usual for you is illicit materials involving demonsss," Xhuli giggles to herself a little bit too uncontrollably, blush at her cheeks. "But I don't even see how that could make you mad, so I'm just being sillyyy."
"Are you here to start a game? It looks like we're both about equally drunk."

Caitlin huffed at the implication she'd been wasting her time with demonic pornography. "I'm not interested in any game, sorry. You said ya were talking about love, right? Why? Love's got to be one of the worst emotions out there. Yer only gonna get hurt."
She traced a finger around a small pool of bourbon that had dripped off the bottle before its demise.
"If I didn't love, I wouldn't be in this mess..."

"I know thattt," Xhuli giggles again. "But doesn't any dream hurt when it doesn't work out the way you want?"
"Do you speak from experience?" Once again the large eyes try to get as much information as possible from Caitlin.
"I think the trick is to enjoy love for what it is. There's no guarantee," she starts crying but acts like she's not being affected by the torrent of emotion from recollecting her own journey with love.

Caitlin's eyes were fixated on the puddle of bourbon. "I do, I guess. She was my best friend. It wasn't romantic, like ya might be thinking. She was--well, is--my sister. She's... she's the reason I'm here. But she's gone. I haven't seen her in years. If I didn't love her as much as I do, I wouldn't be stuck in this nightmare."
