uccellodifuoco | 11th Rise of the Phoenix ஜ Action/Voice

[One of the problems of living with Smoker is that, as silent as the man can be he's pretty good at his job as a police -or rather, a marine- and getting information. Ikki had forgot about that and about telling the man when his birthday was, something he had made a point to not tell anyone because it was pointless. Had her remembered he would have gone out the night before and thus avoid finding a cake prepared for him in the morning of his birthday. How did Smoker even know which was his favorite will always be a mystery, but Ikki's plans to go hole himself at the bar and drink until he didn't know who he was were foiled.

Ikki stares at the cake with a frown, there are worse things to do on one's birthday than to eat cake with his ~~best friend~~ roommate and Kohaku but still, he would have prefered to avoid any of this.]

A birthday cake. Was it necessary?

[There's an obvious drunk slur in the words broad-casted, as well as an obvious lack of direction and a good deal of randomness.]

Never thought I would live past 21. Wait, Saga and the others were far older... Guess I still have a few more years before getting screwed.

Tch, this glass is broken, the liquor keeps running out. [Maybe it wouldn't be broken if he stopped drinking? Nah, that's silly.] 'Kay, one more round-... Hey! Where the hell is my sister? No, brother... Nah, that one isn't here, is he? Or was it a she? Whatever, I'll call it "S" and be done with it.

Maybe they have been sent home too, everyone seems to get the ticket out of here lately... [Some hitting sounds, as if someone is knocking at the journal.] Heey, anyone left here yet?

Why should I save the middle man? What has he got into now?

[Any sense he was making of things goes through the window the moment he hears "save the middle man". Obviously that means saving someone, literally, normally it would be Saori or Shun.]

[Snerks. Definitely drunk.]

It's an expression Ikki. Means "making the process quicker." [Shakes his head.]

Oh, yeah. I like when things are quicker and direct. Go to the opponent and kick theirbutt ratherthan waste time saving people.

[Nodding here.]

Feelsbetter too.

Same here. [Wry grin and tone.] Might as well just drink from the bottle then, huh.

They won't give me the stupid bottle. Geez, it's not as if anyone else wants it... And if they do screwthem.

[Snickers quietly.]

I guess you'll just have to try to the two cups then.

Glasses. Cups are for tea. Or coffee.

[There's a pause before Ikki talks again.]

Hey, did you know your name starts with "S" too?

I prefer mugs. Or straight up bottles.

Err... yes... yes it does. [Not making the connection yet.]

Tch... Why do all of you start with the sameletter? Did the other letters do something to you?

[Is there a connection?]

Who else are you referring to?

[Who else?]

Le'ts see... Seiya, Seika, Shun, Shiryu, I thinkthatgirl with Shiryu also started witha "S", Shaka, Shaina, Saori, Smoker, Selphie, Saleh, Giles...

[Going on and on, probably repeating names too but who cares.]

Giles doesn't start with S.

[Pause as he thinks.]

But ithasone. Close enough.

Isn't S one of the 5 most common letters in the alphabet though? So if we're counting all names with an S in it, it's not that unusual. [Curse you and your "logic" Smoker. It's freaky, and that's all there is to it.]

I suppose knowing that many people that start with S is a bit strange though.

The "S" is chasing me. Even Esmeralda had a "S" in her name.

[Being drunk makes one complain about the strangest things.]

You all should start a club. The S Club.

That sounds incredibly lame for a club. At least if it was cigars, it'd be cool.

Selphiedoesn't smoke. Neither does Shun.

[The rest probably don't either, but they don't matter that much.]

What would our club meetings even be about? Tch.

Why do youhaveto meet?

Oh, so it's just a random club you're part of when your parents name you?

[Silence.]

Ithought that was religion.

[Maaaaybe not when the parents name the baby but at some point near that time.]

What?

The randomclub you getin because of yourparents.

Right. Then it's not really a club, is it?

[You know... He has no idea anymore what they were talking about.]

I don't want to bepart of any club.
