If anyone bothered to look at Kelly right now, they'd notice he was staring at the wall, a distant, distant look on his face while occasionally leaning to one side or another in a drunken stupor. Fortunately for the young man, nobody, absolutely nobody, would have realized just when he had started this trance; when the rest of the Frame Test Team started talking about Yoshiko being taken advantage of. Yes, Kelly was an honorable man, but that didn't mean he was quite himself when drunk. The images in his mind started off 'normally' enough, beginning with 'Miss Yoshi'. However, when 'Mr. Mishhu' came in, Kelly's faint smile quickly turned upside down.

"OH GOD!" he cried out in absolute, abject horror, now standing upon his two feet. Kelly slapped himself on both his cheeks before shaking his head. "Never again..." he mumbled to himself, one hand clutching the bar to keep himself steady. Kelly stood there, unsteady, looking from face to face and slowly, slowly realizing the scene he made. The young man coughed into his hand once before speaking.

"Sorry." He then cleared his throat and tried to speak normally. "I guess. We're done here? Who's...who's picking up the tab?" he asked.

Needless to say, it wasn't something small that needed paying, with all the bottles and bits strewn about.

Mark shook his head and spread out his hands in a gesture of 'I dunno'. He was looking at Kelley, but he hoped everyone else would see it and hear it.

"Look, baby," He said, stuffing the KS card deeper into his pocket all the while, "I dunno 'bout you guys, but I've paid for myself and I'm free to go. I'm feelin' a little nice, so maybe I could be convinced to pay for a few more, but I ain't quite ready to charitize each and everyone one of you boys and girls."

Then, just to see if he'd caught everyone else's attention as well to ensure he wouldn't be repeating himself, Mark glanced around to the other crew-members nearby. A quick gaze drifted over each face and left resting at the back of Yoshiko's head plopped down on the bar. He decided to keep it quiet, but pay hers for her if no one else did.

By this time Viki was starting to get quite drunk, which made it good time to stop or she could go more far then just joke with Yoshiko. SHe also looked little suspicously at Kelly.

"I will pay," she started to cramble right Yamataian words in her head. "For Yoshiko and Katze." She pointed to sleeping beutiy and really drunk neko. What wiki said was done. She payed for herself and two drunk girls. She then carefuly lifted Yoshiko. For abwehran it was not hard to carry girl like Yoshiko. "Let's call those cabs." She said.

Taela listened as the others talked about her, unable to raise much objection because the words ended up becoming like peanut butter in a dog's mouth. That is to say, they were going nowhere at all. Eventually, though, the Neko's will overcame this obstruction when they were all beginning to leave, and she babbled rather loudly, "I. . . kin do jus. . do just fine on my ownnnn."

As if to prove her point, she attempted to stand up, which went rather successfully given her state of mind. Still, she was a little wobbly.

Lucien blinked at Kelly, but then went out of his way to help Taela. Sure, she might've been Yamataian, but she was still no drinker. Lucien was able to keep his footing well, "Ye ain't foolin' naebody Taela. Steady yerself er y'll be arse over teapot!"

He put his arm behind her back and under her arm to keep her supported, while giving a worried look to Kelly, "Kelly, we need tae talk later."

"Huh? Ok man." He spoke, scratching his head at Lucien's suggestion. Kelly looked at the group again before frowning in disapproval. "Aw geeze. Forget I asked, I'll cover you all. And taxis." he murmured, reaching into his pocket to fish out his card before messaging the taxi service for cabs. Though his generosity was easily expected considering he had too many already, the fact that Kelly blew a big wad of his cash and took one for the team wasn't of any real importance or interest. In fact, all eyes should have been on Yoshiko from the get go. But that wasn't the case. Why? Because of Shinji. All the absolute terror that the Origin Armor Test Crew was about to endure was partly his fault. Why?

He mixed the drinks This Time, but this was an exception the demoman reasoned. A special occasion. But it was still partly, if not mostly, if not entirely his fault. After all, who could blame Yoshiko for what was going to happen?

"Ooooh~?" The girl started to come to as Victoria lifted her up. "W-we're goin already?" she asked, disappointed. She managed to stumble out of the Bar with a little assistance from the Abwehran, but eventually pushed herself away to stand on her own. "I can staaaand." Yoshiko yawned. Kelly called up the taxis as he promised, and a quartet of vehicles pulled up to the curbside. Three of them were rather plain green painted Cub hovercars while the fourth simply didn't fit in with the others.

In fact, it was an Itasha with decals of the female leads from Kamen Sentai Nekoranger in rather alluring poses. "I love that show!" Yoshiko squeed. Before anyone could stop her, she had already tumbled into the driver's seat as the vehicle lifted off with her behind the wheel. Kelly however, merely shrugged his shoulders as though nothing was wrong in the world.

"I dunno. That show's not to my tas -"

"I recommend you all get into your cars and stop her." Ged quickly interrupted. "Its not under control of the public transportation grid." The AI's words immediately hit Shinji like a hammer, but took a few moments to sink into Kelly. When they did however, the leader in him exploded into action.

"Into the cars, now! We can't let her get a DUI, not after she was on frame probation already!" He cried out, already getting into the passenger seat of one of the green hovercars. "Someone grab the wheel!" Kelly ordered, the adrenaline cutting through his haze.

"You don't have to tell me twice!" Mark was quick to slide into the driver's seat of the first cab next to Kelley, leaving just enough time for someone else to get in before gunning the engine and pulling out in hot pursuit of the wayward Neko in the trendy car. He hoped the other people who'd stayed mostly sober, Viki and Lucien, would drive the other two vehicles, lest he had two more problems to deal with after that.

"Now, ya'll hold on tight, then!" Mark shouted, ignoring the worry and gripping the wheel tight, his foot sandwiching the accelerator pedal to the floor.

"Sheize!" Viki shouted as Yoshi speeded off. She quickyl jumped next to Mark. "Floor it! Schnella! That girl needs some spanking!" She said while looking in front of the car. SHe was mainly checking for any incoming traffic so she could warn Mark. But she really really wished she would have airbike handy right now.

Viki also prepared ars handset to they would be able to call other cars. She then also talked to Ged. "Ged how is traffic?" She asked.

Lucien had gotten Taela into the car, and then himself. As he got comfortable, he wished that he hadn't, "oooOOOHHH SHITE!!" Yoshiko was clearly a very fun drunk - but when the fun involved getting behind the wheel of a car - let alone a flying car, that's where the Scotsman drew the line.

"Oi Ged cannae ya get this vehicle remotely controlled like too?!" He suggested as helpfully as he could, "I've seen these things widdout drivers b'fore!"

Why did her head have to be so complicated? Why was she thinking a hundred thoughts a minute? And why was she sitting back down again? Two of those things went unanswered as Taela attempted to figure out the reason for the third. It appeared that she was in the back seat of a car all of a sudden, and Lucien was in the front. Wait, why was Lucien in the front? Weren't they going to call a taxi? Why would somebody even get a taxi if she was just fine walking by herself? And she was Nekovalkryja! She could just hover the way! But a hovertaxi did sound nice and effortless, so maybe she'd take one of tho-

"NOT HELPING!" She barked semi-consciously as she slumped in the back seat of the taxi. It was going to be a long ride for her, it seemed.
