[ Yukimura gasped in excitement as he pointed to the sky, a bottle of sake in his hand. ]

Did you see that?

[ He's not drunk yet, he hasn't had enough for that, but he's tipsy by now. ]

[spikedteaparty]

[ that makes it the two of them tipsy but not drunk. Tsukitachi glances at the direction pointed to him and he squints, and he stares and-- ]

Ahh~ what am I looking at? Or for!

[ because all he can see is the vast expense of a dark sky-- almost black, but not quite, the pure darkness broken through with hues of dark blue-- and the stars shining, unreachable as ever. the moon is gone by now, either too late or too early, he isn't so sure anymore what time it is. ]

[beloved10warriors]

[ Yukimura grins at him. ]

A ufo! Aw, don't tell me you missed it.

[spikedteaparty]

[ aah what what-- ufo? and he missed it? damnit! so excuse him while he squints a bit more at the sky, a hand, fingers flat, held together, above his eyes as he looks around the area--

and nothing.

he makes a sound that's a little like a long half-sigh, half-amused-whine, then: ]

Looks like I did. Hope they haven't seen us, though!

[ he laughs at the thought. man, getting kidnapped by aliens, that would be a novelty, now wouldn't it? ]

[beloved10warriors]

[ Yukimura laughs, spying for more ufos in the sky. ]

I wonder what the aliens would do to us if they did. It'd be fun if they took us on an adventure!

[ He loves adventures. Not quite as much as he loves his family, but almost. Adventures and drinking, preferrably with his family, nothing could get better than that. ]

[spikedteaparty]

Who knows--!

[ his glass is empty though and he fills it from the third-- or maybe fourth? ah, well, whatever, bottle of today. the others are empty on the ground, one in Yukimura's hand.

he doesn't ponder the words too hard, because he likely wouldn't like whatever conclusion he would come to with his awfully jaded view of the world, despite the smiles and cheer. a novelty of the malicious kind, most likely, that is if Circus wouldn't get to them first. ]

It'd be something for sure. Aah~ [ but he'll indulge Yukimura's question-- ] What kind of adventure, do you think, hmm?

[beloved10warriors]

[ Yukimura drinks from his bottle, no longer looking for more ufos, instead simply looking at the star-filled sky. He doesn't like thinking back on parts of his past, with betrayal and the loss of loved ones, but adventures helps him forget, even if only for some time. ]

Adventures where you get to fight until you can hardly stand, and where you drink until you drop.

[ He'd love more of that. And... ]

It'd be interesting flying, too.
