Birthday Party of Two

[maleborgia]

[Cesare is sitting on one of three (new! ish) barstools in Canada's kitchen, a large bowl of a dark amber liquid on the counter next to him and sending a text to Someone.]

[literally it's just a video of three different bottles (labels carefully covered) being opened and poured into a mixing bowl]

Comments

[maleborgia]

[sending him the video already] Congratulations! You're the champion.

[fuckyudied]

[tosses the bowl to the side and braces his hands on his knees for a few seconds]

... Alright! We're good!

[maleborgia]

[laughing, slaps him on the back] I didn't think you'd make it.

[fuckyudied]

[elbows him]

Don't think you're off the hook!

[maleborgia]

Whatever. You'll get me later, I have no doubt of that.

[fuckyudied]

[jerks his thumb up at the bottle on the counter]

Get on it!

[maleborgia]

Get on this, cazzo. [shoves at his head as he stands, motioning with his other hand to the pictures]

[fuckyudied]

[tries to smack his leg, but misses]

I'm thinking!

[maleborgia]

[snickering as he pours himself a drink]

[fuckyudied]

[pauses to light up before going back to staring down the pictures]

[maleborgia]

[sits back down with the drink] Don't get ash on them.

[fuckyudied]

[flicks it at him instead]

[maleborgia]

[laughs, brushing it off (and probably onto the pictures)] Right. Cheers. [raises his glass and takes a drink] Is this the sort of thing you'd normally be doing?

[fuckyudied]

Normally?

[maleborgia]

In Japan.

[fuckyudied]

Last year we drove a car off a friggin' cliff and the year before that I ditched everything to go to the demon world, so this is pretty tame! Sorry, man.

[maleborgia]

I'm still looking for another car. Maybe next year. But it's good to just kick back sometimes.

[fuckyudied]

Not complaining. Nobody's cryin' this year, so that's cool. —So if this is station...

[maleborgia]

["nobody's crying," laughing at that even though it's probably not all that funny]

[fuckyudied]

[starts laughing, too]

Or bitching me out! So don't you start.

[maleborgia]

Both this and the car were my fault. I can't blame you for either of them.

[fuckyudied]

... Wait, my math's off...

[maleborgia]

Forgot your own age?

[fuckyudied]

Had a birthday over on the demon side, too. Don't seem like much compared to those guys.

[maleborgia]

Yeah. I guess this can't compare.
