Drinks for the god and monkey

Saber · Apr 20, 2018

The night had been a good one, a new sparring partner and friend and now drinks to celebrate the fact. So there they say, a booth to themselves in a bar, a bottle and two shot glasses, yes tonight was all around fun.

Xing took a shot, having taken it upon himself to refill their glasses every time they needed refilling, would of course refill them. "So, what brought you to the island?" he'd ask curiously, his tail slowly swaying besides him, "seems like the island brings in people from all over." @Ephemral

Yuna eyed the shotglass before taking a swig. To be honest she wasn't quite sure how she would react when she had too much alcohol in her body as she had never actually been drunk before. That being said, she was not a complete stranger to alcohol as she was introduced to it by her coach in order to make sure that she knew how to handle herself in several situations. To be fair, her pause was warranted as the person beside her seemed like a good person, but one could never be sure.

She took a breath before answering Xing's question

"I just kinda ended up here. I was told by a old man to search for the scouts of the Starlight Academy, though not directly, and I followed his advice by making it relatively apparent that I had some ability. Eventually I was scouted and brought here. My life before this was pretty mundane so I am quite interested about this place in general."

Yuna then took the shotglass and downed it once

"How about you?"

"They found me in China," he took a shot, making sure to refill the glasses once emptied. "That's when I got these actually," he motioned to his fire tattoos, "got them.while we were in Shanghai waiting for transportation to be arranged." He didn't say how or why the scouts found him, largely because it wasn't a pleasant story really.

"You look about my age," he took another shot, his tail refilling the glasses, "back there....us sparring, you've had training, boxing." He looked at her curiously, "did you ever compete?"

Another shot, another refill, "you in college? You look my age, but I know immortals are pretty common here."

Yuna sighed. A lot of memories resided in the answer to Xing's question. Lots of pain, yet amazing relief. Lots of long nights and early awakenings. Lots of hard work for all that seemed for naught. To be honest with herself, she found it a little hard to talk about it, though to be fair, she had the help of alcohol.

She took another shot, redness starting to tinge her face.

"Yes, I was a boxer. I competed here and there, though I used to train a lot. And I mean, I am about the age you think I am.... that is 19. I am a sophomore in college. I study molecular chemistry and physics for the most part. Makes it easier to understand how my ability works."

Yuna then poured herself another before Xing could refill her drink and took another shot.

"You lived in china huh, I am not too good at Chinese, so I am quite envious that you were able to spend a bit of time there. If you could not tell already, I am Korean and that's where the scouts found me."

"Yeah same age, though you're a year shiv me," he was perhaps a bit behind on education, he couldn't make up his mind when it came to a major. "Yeah, that explosion seemed useful," he'd say with a small chuckle, "bet you can learn to use if in a lot of different ways."

He tilted his head, "never been to Korea,' he'd say in Korean, something to surprise her a little, "but someone I knew taught me how to speak it," he'd continue using the language. "I grew up in a small village at the base of the Himalayas, with my siblings," good memories, but they were distant, seemed long ago even though it had only been a few years.

"We trained in Kung Fu back then, though I've picked up a few other skills since then," he took another shot, his body heating up from the drink. "It'd been a while since I've used them in a friendly spar," he said with a smile.

Yuna's face brightened when she heard xing speak in her native tongue. She hadn't expected the monkey boy in front of him to be able to do so, and her opinion of him actually skyrocketed. She responded in korean.

"In regards to the statement about the explosions, I can make them pretty big if I want to deal with a life threatening problem, so yeah pretty useful. While I have been talking about myself, I have wondered, have you spoken to your siblings recently then? I mean its quite cool that you learned Kung Fu, but I feel quite curious, why haven't you sparred with them for a while? Are they not on the island? "

Yuna smiles and took another shot her face starting to visibly redden as her alcohol tolerance started to be reached.

Xing would tilt his head, looking at her curiously, this night had been surprising and unexpected. "Oh I'm sure the power teachers can help figure out how to get past that," he'd take another shot, "a safer way to use the full extent of your power."

Never in his life had he expected to ever talk to a god, though he was divine in some regards he didn't view himself as a god. "There's a few on the island....," he'd roll his empty shot glass in his fingers before refilling it and taking a shot. "It's been....maybe two years," he wasn't really sure.

"I haven't talked to them yet," it was hard, he wasn't really sure how to go about contacting them, reconnecting with them. "I haven't been on the island all that long," he wasn't the same person they'd grown up with, he didn't even look the same.

"I suppose that would be wise, but my ability isn't too much problem. Especially since I can always just find random things to destroy. I mean, I am sorry if I brought up a sensitive topic, but you shouldn't put it off even if you just got onto the island. You'll have to excuse me as I am a bit drunk myself."

Yuna takes another shot

"Family is important, and not seeing them in over two years is not the best thing. If you need help in tracking them down, I am more than happy to help. If you have any reserves about meeting them, I can assure you that unless they dislike a considerate and kind person they have no problem with meeting with you again."

Saber · May 10, 2018

He'd blink in surprise when she called him kind and considerate,he hadn't been expecting that, even with them drinking. "Thank you Yuna," he took another shot, his tail refilling their glasses, "I know there here, just...it's been a long time." The monkey man gave her a grateful smile, "I'll think about it."

Xing missed his family, but a lot had happened in the last few years, he wasn't sure if he was even the same person anymore.

"What about you?" his tail gave her a gentle poke, his own cheeks a bit red from the drinking, "any family here? Or they all off island?" He went ahead and took another shot, "you seem like a kind person too Yuna."

Ephemral · May 10, 2018

Yuna takes her next shot, he face starting to visibly redden a bit.

"No direct family on the island I think, at least I wouldn't think so. I'd imagine that a god like my father would have more than one mortal partner, but as of right now. I am alone without family on the island. I have my mother back in Korea, but I have no idea when I will meet her again myself."

Yuna smiled at Xing for his complement.

"Thanks for the complement, but that probably isn't true. I am not the most tolerant or nice people and I tend to get angry quite quickly. As for as this is concerned, I don't believe that kind is correct, more than returning a good interaction with another good interaction in hopes for a decent and friendly relationship later."

Yuna then takes the bottle and fills her shot glass, which then she promptly emptied.
