Cam regarded Roger with measured neutrality as she held onto the bag by the strap. "Now, Roger. You are already ripped." She stated factually. As she switched her grip on the straps to underhand, she sighed. "Besides, you know how bad it is being drunk after all..." She said, as she knelt and a second later she slipped her arm up and hefted the bags weight on her shouler and she pitched forward, launching the bag, and anything on it right over her shoulder to the tarmac infront of her.
 
"Awwa...all that good liquor...And besides, isn't it customary to pour out a drink for the dead?"

Datenshi looked to Roger oddly. She had thought that was the custom, but maybe not.

"And besides, you can't get to drunk that you can't take me out to dinner after all."
 
"Oh, I'm-" Jatsu started, before getting cut off by Roger. "Yeah, what he said. Although I wouldn't say that I'm mundo gangly...mainly because I have no idea what the hell that's supposed to mean."

He casually walked over to Roger's bag and pulled a flask out. "Nah, I'll leave all the groping to her," he said, then took a swig from the flask.
 
"EeeEEP!" Roger wailed as he and the bag were flung through the air, only to come crashing down on the pavement with a sickly tinkle of breaking glass. He was deathly silent as he slowly got up and opened the bag.

"My... my babies... what have you DONE? There... there was a bottle of Nepelesian Single Malt Special Reserve 110bbl in there..." He turned to Cam, furious. "Do you KNOW how impossible it is to FIND one of those?!?" He zipped the bag back up with a sharp tug and tossed it all into a dumpster. "Come on, let's go. Since Mistress Painintheass wants to be a total buzzkill, I guess I'll have to find another method to honor Corro."

He made a show of tromping off, but suddenly stopped as he was about to pass Jatsu. He leaned in closely, and whispered something into his comrades ear. Suddenly, Roger broke out into knee-slapping laughter, gave Jatsu a hearty back slap, and strode back over to Datenshi. "Come on, dearie, it's time I made good on that promise, and you're right; I'll buy a round for Corro whereever we go. Let's saddle up, pardners!"

(I PMed you what he whispered.)
 
"Alright! Time for food."

Datenshi punched up into the air with a grin as trotted off twoards her jeep.

"Anyone else hoppin in the jeep shuld hurry up! I wanna eat!"

She turned around to shout back at the people behind her, still grinning.
 
Kiyoko smiled to Caine's comment, shrugging with an innocent look in her eyes. Then Kiyoko suddenly launched forwards, flipping around the bar of the jeep and lowering herself into the backseat "Let's go!â€
 
"There we go! Way ta go girl thats how you get it done!"

Datenshi grinned as she broke off again, a grin on her face as she jumped in the jeep, tilting it slightly as she grabbed the roll bar and vaulted herself in. The doors, windows, and top were all off, so it was a rather open-ended vehicle.

"Let's go people! Slow pokes eat last!"

As the Jeep hummed to life, Datenshi could only grin.

I am definantly going to like it here...
 
Caine chuckled and watched Kiyoko vault into the jeep and shook his head a bit and smirked a bit. He got a short dash and vaulted up and landed in the back of the jeep before sliding over the back of teh backseat next to Kiyoko teir thighs touching for the moment as he leaned over to Datenshi and whispered. "It's nice you're so gung-ho about all this, but calm down some; there's no huge rush." He told her. "And it's rude to be pushy like that. Just be patient." Caine told her and leaned back as he waited for the others, not noticing how close he was to his CO until he felt the warmth onthe side of his thigh and blushed. "Um sorry m'am" h said and scooted over a bit to give her her space.
 
"Dayum all you crazy acrobatic bitches. Ain't you ever heard of doors, people?" Roger said, himself opening the passenger side one and stepping in. "Cripes. You all going to enter the Yagumo through the engine nacelles too?" He grumbled a bit further, putting his feet up on the dashboard. "All right, let's get some brum-brum goin'!"
 
"Sorry sir I'm just excited to finally get my first assignment, I promise I will calm down." Datenshi turned in her seat and clapped her hands together in a prayerful manner.

"Is anyone else coming with us?"

Datenshi looked around while still turned around in her seat, looking for any stragglers.
 
Through the streets of Kyoto they traveled, the sun disappeared totally beyond the horizon and the darkness held the city. The lights were spectacular, especially towards the downtown commercial sector in the distance where the skyscrapers towered over the rest of the city. Once at the restaurant, a small Nepleslian establishment called 'Mom's Country Kitchen' which seemed rather busy Kiyoko was out of the jeep the moment they stopped offering Caine a brief wink, amused over his rather reddish color.

It was a good choice; the restaurant was located, from what Kiyoko could identify from the map that she had been mulling over thru the PANTHEON, only a few blocks from where she was set to meet with the agent about the condo.

Kiyoko looked to Roger "Well since you're the Nepleslian, you lead on...try and get us good seats.â€
 
Datenshi blinked as she stopped infront of the Nepleslian establishment. She had heard this place was pricey, but hey who was she to argue if the commander had said to stop?

With a shrug, she turned off the jeep and climbed out as well before she patted down her pants and waited for Roger to take the lead.

"Wonder what they serve here."
 
Caine got out of the jeep after Kiyoko and Datenshi did and looked up at the restaurant. "Only one way to find out. Let's go check it out." he said starting for the door and looks at them and pulled the door open. "Ladies first" he said politely. "We'll find out how much it is when the menus get handed out, relax." he said.
 
Rog exited from the jeep, his inebriation apparently having subsided in the ride from the tarmac. "My first mission under your command, eh, L-C? All right, I'll see what I can do. I'd be better off if I could grease a few palms with a few bottles of genuine fine Nepelsian products, but someone had to destroy most of my inventory. I'll have to try the traditional method," he said, withdrawing his wallet and checking its contents.

As he walked toward the restaurant, he was the first to pass through the doors held open by Caine. "Thanks... wait, don't be drawing any conclusions from that." He made his way in, and found the seater. "Ah, hey there. Table for six?"

The seater nodded. "There will be about a two hour wait unless you have a reservation."

"Is that so? That's quite unfortunate. So, you from Neplesia originally?..."

* * *

Roger returned to the group a small amount of time later. "Well how about that; a spot just opened up on the back terrace. Let's head in." He allowed most of them to pass, but matched step when Kikiyo passed him.

"Remind me I have to pick up a few extra things when I head home."
 
Caine smirked as the soldier walked past and couldn't help but laugh. "Is that an admission of something you've been hiding Kard?" he called after Rog with a snicker and looked over at everyone else as they mingled and made small talk. But when he got back Caine blinked and nodded to him. "Kard, whatever you did to the waiter in there, I don't want to know ok? I just hope you got the money to pay his medical bill" Caine said poking fun at the nepleslian and continued to hold the door for everyone. He'd be the last to go inside and join them at the table.

The group filed in quietly and out onto the back terrace, gathering at a large circular table, leaving them alone in the area. Caine of course, pulled the chair out for Kiyoko to sit in...hopefully, boy he was really trying to impress her; maybe too hard? But he'd always been taught a lovely woman should be treated like a queen after all. "Looks like a homely place" he said to roger. "I like it, jus thope it's not ungodly expensive."
 
"I just hope the food tastes good," Jatsu said as he sat down. "Though since there should have been a two hour wait, I'll assume it does. Speaking of which, what the hell did you do to get us in, Rog?"
 
"I hope the food's not a person." Camellia muttered as she looked through one of te menues. "Hmm, turkey nut..." She muttered as she turned the menu sideways, then slantways.
 
"Don't ask don't tell right Roger?"

Datenshi just grinned as she snagged a menu of her own and began to browse through.

"Hm...Everything here looks pretty good huh. Jumbalia? What is that a dish with a little of everything tossed in?"
 
Kiyoko looked around the establishment, the place was rather packed. When Kard returned to lead them to their seats she said quietly to him "Thank you Kard-san...â€
