Murder Series Award Show III [Non-Canon]

[Midnight Maiden]

Trivial.

Disgusting.

Pathetic.


Yes, this... 'award show', was a complete and utter waste of time and, had she had a choice in the matter, the Atlesian Military Specialist would never have attended such a ridiculous event. It had no purpose, no reason- Winter hadn't a single empty insecure bit of her some silly award would fill. And anyone who thought an award made them a grand, successful person? Tch. They would not get far.

But even so, here she was, once again brought to worlds unknown by forces unknown, for unknown reasons. It was an infuriating, but also curiosity-piquing, matter. Besides, as it turned out, her assistance had been requested in distribution of a few of the awards... So at least she would have something to do.

Even if it was a ridiculously, lowly something.

And then, there was a younger woman on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. A girl with blonde hair, a loose and flowy blue dress, and bright green eyes with a smile that shone with the intensity of a thousand suns when she shared it with the world... Which, was quite often.

That was right. One Ryan Duchannes had arrived, looking as cheerful as ever as she explored, searching hopefully for any sort of familiar face, well... Anywhere. She was so fond of the idea of recognizing people and awarding them and giving praise, making them feel good... So she was happy to help. Though, in her excitement, she accidentally....

"Hey, watch it! What do you think you're doing!?" Weiss demanded as the other female bumped her, leaving said other looking sheepish.

"A-ah... Sorry...!"

​

Harper had also shown up to the event, sporting a nice ballroom gown. She had lain her hair down and had actually decided to be decent, unlike when she attended the Wayne Gala and got caught trying to steal food.

"You seem cool and not a complete waste of time to talk to." Harper said to Blake. There wasn't anyone here that she knew aside from Jason, though he was too busy getting drunk to even pay any attention to little old Harper. Which didn't really effect her. She was always more fond of Tim, anyways.

@Gummi Bunnies​

"Oh... hello there."

Blake blinked in surprise with Harper walking up to them, more towards Harper's appearance.

"If you say so about me, then I guess you're interested, right?"

Smiling away, he did a little wink before giving off a small smile her way. Followed by... Lapis pinching him by the ear and dragging him away from Harper.

"Sorry about that ma'am, my brother is pretty... thirsty?"

Lapis sighed as she apologized to Harper for Blake's sudden flirtation, unaware that he was possibly doing that as a tease...

A mysterious black figure enters the auditorium.​

 

[thatguyinthestore]

Placing Aster on the ground next to herself, Zinnia raised a surprised eyebrow. "So, what you're thinking is, we're getting awarded for going through hell," she stated, seeming uncertain as to what she thought about such a thing until a smile would finally cross her lips. She would then puff out her chest and place her hands on her hips letting out a laugh.

"Ah ha ha ha, yes! It's about time they recognized just how great I am!"

Although she was pleased, Jack didn't exactly seem as pleased as she was. Zinnia's smile faded into a frown and she began to pout, extending her lower lip. "Darn you and your morals, Jack. Darn it all. Can't I at least punch the mean cat once? Or, better yet, bite her tail and scratch her eyes out? I'm sure Aster won't even see it happen if we just feed her some berries to distract her," the cheeky lorekeeper stated with a wink before giving Jack's sleeve a playful tug.

Upon hearing Teresa's words, Joshua straightened his back and cringed, a shiver running up his spine. "Ew, gross! Who in their right mind would partake in such a fowl act in an auditorium of all plac--" Cutting himself off, the angel would straighten the collar of his shirt and let out a sigh. "Nice one, Teresa, but I'm not going to fall for your shenanigans tonight. I have awards to present later and I don't intend to let you distract me. Anyhow, if I'm bothering you then good. I'm not going anywhere," Joshua teased in return, giving her stink eyes.

Quickly after uniting with Mason, Ilona's pleased expression would be traded in for a baffled one. "Come again, my good sir?" she questioned, uncertain as to where his explanation was going at first. Ilona wasn't the most intelligent individual when it came to not only being street smart, but book smart as well. So this confused look on her face would remain with her even after the male let out a laugh. She continued to gaze at Mason as if he were a puzzle she couldn't figure out, until he would finally simply his thoughts.

"An award show, you say? An award show related to... Murder Games?"

And then, it hit her.

Ilona's own mother and father had participated in an "award show" many years ago. She wasn't sure how she knew, but it probably had something to do with wibbly wobbly, timey whimey bullshit. Not to mention the OOC knowledge the person writing her implanted into her head.

Anyhow...

"Letters?" Ilona questioned, a blush suddenly filling her cheeks. "Y-You wrote to me? I never received any letters, no. May I see?" she questioned, a genuinely happy smile tracing her lips. While she felt her heart flutter at the thought that this dear friend of hers had actually thought of her when not a single other had, Ilona also felt guilty.

She had written letters to Mason, but she... tore them up. Ilona had felt too distant from her friends and family at the time to even consider keeping her letters to any of them. Well, that is, except for her letters to one person. Not that she would willingly ever tell such a thing. >.>

@Mason Moretti​

After hearing Hideo respond, Zinnia would let out another laugh. "Ha! And you're scolding me, but look at this loser! He's already drunk and this party has hardly started!" she exclaimed, going over to Hideo to give him a rough pat on the back as she often had during the Murder Game they had been in. Not really a nice thing to do, but at least it wasn't a bite on the arm like last time, right?

@The Myrmidon @Gummi Bunnies​

"Oh... hey."

Hideo would stand up, his footing a bit wobbly as he walked towards Jack and Zinnia. Before continuing with his statements, he would take a big gulp out of his beer bottle.

"Say, you see miss hacks-a-lot-for-data around here? *hic* ... she's making me miss my anime marathon tonight... for this."

It hasn't been ten minutes since Hideo's gotten here and he's already on the borderline of being wasted.

@The Myrmidon @Klutzy Ninja Kitty​

Zim made his way over to this little party of what appeared to be even more useless human worm babies. Though, he needed to gather intel on the human race, so the Irken would play along.

"Hello fellow earth friends. I am a completely normal human worm baby just like you!"

@The Myrmidon @Gummi Bunnies​

"Well, lucky for you I did make copies. I know the Multiverse can kinda screw things up, so I prepared in case I needed to resend the letters. Just a moment."

Mason's hand dug into his pockets once more. From his pockets came a crumpled piece of paper that he handed to Ilona. Once unfolded, the paper would reveal a letter, written in orange ink.

@Midnight Maiden​

Okay, that was it. Teresa couldn't help it, the laugh just sort of bubbled up on its own, and she couldn't stop it. The sight of him freaking out was just too funny, and so the laughter kept coming until he calmed, at which point she slowly stifled it. "H-heh, sorry, sorry... Just relax. I'm sure they clean those things... once a month or so, mayb--"

Wait.

"..."

"...What did you just say?"

That couldn't be right. She had been asked to present awards. Surely he hadn't been, too.. Joshua was a horrible choice to present anything! And she'd never be able to focus if she had to present with him!

Blake blinked in surprise with Harper walking up to them, more towards Harper's appearance.

"If you say so about me, then I guess you're interested, right?"

Smiling away, he did a little wink before giving off a small smile her way. Followed by... Lapis pinching him by the ear and dragging him away from Harper.

"Sorry about that ma'am, my brother is pretty... thirsty?"

Lapis sighed as she apologized to Harper for Blake's sudden flirtation, unaware that he was possibly doing that as a tease...

@thatguyinthestore​

Harper smiled and dismissed his comment with a wave of her right hand, her left hand placed firmly on her hip. This wasn't the first time some random guy had tried to pick her up, after all.

"Pffft, no worries. Your brother ain't half bad himself." She said with a subtle wink towards Blake. "What're your names anyways?" The punk asked out of curiosity. If she was gonna talk to someone, she preferred to at least know their names. Hell, she even learned that Bruce was Batman after a certain amount of time. Or maybe it was just that he trusted her? eh whatever

Meanwhile...

Playfully sitting atop a table and kicking her feet, those in the room would spot a cheerful young soul reaper munching away on some cheese trays that were spread out for the guests to enjoy.

Well, she did seem cheerful, at first, until Senna would spot her cheeky boyfriend flirting it up with some strange girl. : |

At first, she would drop a cheese cube out of her hand and gape in his direction. Once she processed the situation, however, the girl would merely shoot him an annoyed look.

"Seriously?" she questioned, jumping off the table. Stomping over to Lapis and Blake, she would grab Blake by his other ear. "Allow me," she said, giving Blake's other ear a hard tug. "After all we've been through together and you just wanna flirt it up with some strange girl? Talk about heartless!" she exclaimed, tugging his ear once more and saying nothing to Harper just yet.

"...."

"Dude, is this like your girlfriend?" Harper asked. She was fine with playful flirting and all, but she wasn't cool with cheaters. Someone had cheated on her brother once, and let's just say that after Harper found out they needed months upon months of physical therapy when she was through with him.

[Husk]

Yet another familiar face turned from the bar.

"Oh hey! Didn't think I'd run into you here." Jason said with a warm smile before offering him a seat. "Take a seat. I'll buy you a drink, man." ​

"I wasn't expectin' to be here myself. My buddy Malcolm was the one who convinced me to show up. Well... convinced ain't the right word. It was more like forced. "

"I appreciate you offerin' me a drink and all, but I shouldn't have anymore. When I came back to my world after that Murder Game fiasco, I ended up almost drinkin' myself to death."

Twisted Fate eyed the seat that Jason had offered him and proceeded to sit down.

"Might as well sit down. We'll be waitin' a while for that show to start."
​

"Ahhh... You must be mistaken, I'm afraid. I'm quite certain I wouldn't forget a character such as yourself," the Gleeful assured calmly, still grinning despite the look on Trevor's face. She didn't seem spooked in the slightest. In fact, she was the exact opposite. Not so much as breaking eye contact, she spoke once more. "Now, then, it seems we have company. Won't you have a seat? It'd be rude of you to demand my attention when there are other customers." With those words uttered, and a brief brush of her fingers through her hair, Trevor would find himself... Sitting down. As though by magic. "Now, then..."

Glancing to the other arrivals at the bar, the woman flashed a pleasant smile. "Anything I can do for you boys?" she hummed.
​

Twisted Fate noticed a faint presence of power as Mabel forced Trevor to sit down. He looked for the source and found himself looking at a relatively normal-looking woman. He was surprised to discover that she was capable of telekineses.

"...Where'd you learn to do that?"


@thatguyinthestore @Midnight Maiden @Bar​

 

[thatguyinthestore]

After some heavy drinking and bonding, Trevor gave his new partner in crime Aran a pat on the back.

"Follow me…. I have an idea." The sociopath said before standing up and walking backstage with Aran. Through some "convincing", the duo managed to get a song playing. This was one of Aran's choosing, of course. After a few short minutes Aran and Trevor stood up on stage. Trevor then took the microphone and handed it to Aran so he could introduce the duo.

"Ahem." Aran tapped the microphone, making sure it was on-because, you know, it wasn't like his voice was already loud and obnoxious enough on its own. "LADIES, GENTS, AND WHATEVER ELSE! ARE YOU READY????"

If no one cheered, or if people did cheer, either way Aran grabbed his trusty bagpipes and blasted a horrible note right into the microphone. "Hahahaha!!! I knew you weren't ready!! Now, me and my new brother from another mother...an American mother, but still-we're gonna provide you sorry lot with a classic Irish anthem!! Ready? TOO BAD!! HERE WE GOOOOO!!!"

Burnt Orange = Trevor

Green = Aran

Orange = Both

The speakers started blaring the pre chosen song, which would start:

(We'll be singing when we're winning, we'll be singing…)

"I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!

I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!"

"I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!

I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!"

(Pissing the night away, Pissing the night away!)

"He drinks a whisky drink!

He drinks a vodka drink!

He drinks a Lager drink!

He drinks a Cider drink!

He sings the songs that remind him of the good times!

He sings the songs that remind him of the best times!"

(Oh, Danny Boy, Danny Boy, Danny Boy…)

"I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!

I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!

I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!

I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!"

(Pissing the night away, Pissing the night away!)

"He drinks a whisky drink!

He drinks a vodka drink!

He drinks a Lager drink!

He drinks a Cider drink!

He sings the songs that remind him of the good times!

He sings the songs that remind him of the best times!"

(Don't cry for me, next door neighbor!)

"I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!

I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!

I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!

I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!"

(Awesome as fuck bagpipe solo)


"I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!

I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!

I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!

I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!

I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!

I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!

I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME--"

On the last word of the last verse of the song, Trevor tripped over the cord to the speakers and fell right on the stage.

"Shit! God dammit!!" Trevor yelled in agony, despite it not really hurting that much.

Aran glared at his fellow drunk with pure rage. "You...BASTARD!! You just made a mockery of one of the greatest songs of all time! RAAAAAUUUUUUUGH!!!!"

The boxer threw his bagpipes down, on whoever happened to be sitting closest to him in the front row before tackling Trevor, the two rolling to the ground.

"Oh yeah?!? Come at me you Irish fuck!" Trevor yelled as the two fought on the ground, throwing punches at each other's faces amidst the crowd of people attending what was supposed to be a somewhat classy awards show.

The two fought and fought until eventually Trevor gave up. This guy wasn't a fatass fuckface douchebag loser like Michael was. He was actually a formidable foe. Standing up and breathing heavily with his hands placed on his knees.. Trevor did something he hadn't done in a while.

He apologized.

"Look man I'm uhh… I'm sorry for ruining your song 'n shit. Someone obviously put that cord there to sabotage our show!" Trevor said as he tried to shift the blame to someone else.

"..." The anger on Aran's face soon turned to a smile. "Hahaha! No worries, mate! I knew you wouldn't do that on purpose!" Aran jumped back onstage, grabbing the mic and pointing at someone in the audience-you all bloody well know who.

"YOU'LL NEVER BRING ME DOWN, HIDEO!!! NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU SABOTAGE ME!! I'M ARAN FUCKING RYAN, AND I ALWAYS WIN!! AHAHAHAHAHA-WOAH!"

Aaaand Aran fell off the stage. Brushing himself off he threw an arm around Trevor. "Come on, let's get some more drinks, eh?"

Trevor nodded in agreement and smiled with a hearty laugh escaping his mouth. "Sounds like a plan, Stan!" The man yelled before making his way over to the bar with his newfound Irish drinking buddy and resume their conversation about politics and business or whatever.

@Klutzy Ninja Kitty @Gummi Bunnies @thatguyinthestore​

"Lady Senna and Lady Setsuna?"

Well, it wasn't quite a surprise. Hakuei had already seen Doremi and Jabbers somewhere around the room, and as she cut through the spacious area, the princess had to blink at the spectacle she found.

"... And Sir Blake," the princess belatedly added, chancing a look at the male's... Captivity at the hands of one irate shinigami. She glanced at Harper, and then at Senna, and then at the man in the middle. Off to the side, Setsuna looked calm as ever to Hakuei's eyes.

It was rather obvious, even to romantically inexperienced people, what situation this was.

Zim made his way over to this little party of what appeared to be even more useless human worm babies. Though, he needed to gather intel on the human race, so the Irken would play along.

"Hello fellow earth friends. I am a completely normal human worm baby just like you!"

@The Myrmidon @Klutzy Ninja Kitty @Gummi Bunnies​

"As a human, I find your feeble disguise insulting," Mandy bluntly interjected, after stepping in from out of the woodwork of guests, "But as a pessimist, I admire your chutzpah."

A mysterious black figure enters the auditorium.​

"Deemo... you're squishy as always..."

Deemo would hear a familiar voice, and the familiar feeling of being squeezed.

If he were to look around, he would notice that his fellow Little Girl was nearby as well.​

"How dare you accuse me of being inhuman!? Why, I am just as human as you other filthy.... things."

@thatguyinthestore @Midnight Maiden @Bar​

Jason nodded in agreement with Twisted Fate's statement before taking a shot of his drink.

"Yeah... well luckily I had a drinking problem long before that Murder Game. How've you been since then, anyways?" The Arkham Knight asked, just trying to make small talk.

@Otto​

 

[Gummi Bunnies]

"Sorry if Shouko was bothering you..."

Esper would recognise this voice! The mysterious, self-insertish aura, the fine business suit...

"... Add. I don't see you wearing a suit. No time to rent one?"

@Bomb @Gummi Bunnies

"I don't see the need to~ This battle suit has always felt so comfy to me after all of the time traveling through time!"

Esper sounded especially proud of this one trait. He always found the act of changing attire every day to be tedious, and he always found this piece of attire to be comfy and efficient for his deeds. So why not? At this point, people should know that this was normal of him.

@Bomb @Crow
​

After hearing Hideo respond, Zinnia would let out another laugh. "Ha! And you're scolding me, but look at this loser! He's already drunk and this party has hardly started!" she exclaimed, going over to Hideo to give him a rough pat on the back as she often had during the Murder Game they had been in. Not really a nice thing to do, but at least it wasn't a bite on the arm like last time, right?

"Christ!"

Hideo would take a moment from being patted on the back to hold his breath, and then apparently puking over to the floor in front of him. Well, this happened around the same time that Zim was walking over to him. Well.. at least the lad hasn't fainted yet despite all of the alcohol he was consuming at this rate.

Harper smiled and dismissed his comment with a wave of her right hand, her left hand placed firmly on her hip. This wasn't the first time some random guy had tried to pick her up, after all.

"Pffft, no worries. Your brother ain't half bad himself." She said with a subtle wink towards Blake. "What're your names anyways?" The punk asked out of curiosity. If she was gonna talk to someone, she preferred to at least know their names. Hell, she even learned that Bruce was Batman after a certain amount of time. Or maybe it was just that he trusted her? eh whatever

Meanwhile...

Playfully sitting atop a table and kicking her feet, those in the room would spot a cheerful young soul reaper munching away on some cheese trays that were spread out for the guests to enjoy.

Well, she did seem cheerful, at first, until Senna would spot her cheeky boyfriend flirting it up with some strange girl. : |

At first, she would drop a cheese cube out of her hand and gape in his direction. Once she processed the situation, however, the girl would merely shoot him an annoyed look.

"Seriously?" she questioned, jumping off the table. Stomping over to Lapis and Blake, she would grab Blake by his other ear. "Allow me," she said, giving Blake's other ear a hard tug. "After all we've been through together and you just wanna flirt it up with some strange girl? Talk about heartless!" she exclaimed, tugging his ear once more and saying nothing to Harper just yet.

@thatguyinthestore @Gummi Bunnies​

"...."

"Dude, is this like your girlfriend?" Harper asked. She was fine with playful flirting and all, but she wasn't cool with cheaters. Someone had cheated on her brother once, and let's just say that after Harper found out they needed months upon months of physical therapy when she was through with him.

@Klutzy Ninja Kitty @Gummi Bunnies​

Huh.

Setsuna made a mental note that saying someone was interested equalled to physical assault. Interesting.

@Klutzy Ninja Kitty @Gummi Bunnies @thatguyinthestore​

"Lady Senna and Lady Setsuna?"

Well, it wasn't quite a surprise. Hakuei had already seen Doremi and Jabbers somewhere around the room, and as she cut through the spacious area, the princess had to blink at the spectacle she found.

"... And Sir Blake," the princess belatedly added, chancing a look at the male's... Captivity at the hands of one irate shinigami. She glanced at Harper, and then at Senna, and then at the man in the middle. Off to the side, Setsuna looked calm as ever to Hakuei's eyes.

It was rather obvious, even to romantically inexperienced people, what situation this was.

@Klutzy Ninja Kitty @Midnight Maiden @Gummi Bunnies @thatguyinthestore​

"Oh god, I-I can explain!"

Blake panicked, hoping that Senna wasn't taking this the complete wrong idea. It wasn't even a serious flirt, just an opener to a chat or something. Just as it would get worse on his end...

"Um, Blake, you still have to answer my questions! It's like you're a different person. Not that I expected you here... but weren't you dating some other girl from our neighborhood or something? Eliza, wasn't it?"

Just the questions coming out of his little sister's mouth surprised him, both from the fact that he never seen her talk out like this and that she was saying that he was dating some girl beforehand.

"R-Rin! You should know I wasn't dating anyone... well, until recently, but I wasn't expecting you to be here either! Honest! Besides, I don't know about this Eliza girl that much, sis!"

Assessing the situation, Lapis was starting to get aware that maybe this wasn't the greatest place to be questioning his brother on certain topics with all of these people around.

"Say... Senna? I think that's what your name is, judging from the other people here, mind if I get my brother's mind straight here?"

[BCOLOR=transparent]After some heavy drinking and bonding, Trevor gave his new partner in crime Aran a pat on the back. [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]"Follow me…. I have an idea." [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]The sociopath said before standing up and walking backstage with Aran. Through some "convincing", the duo managed to get a song playing. This was one of Aran's choosing, of course. After a few short minutes Aran and Trevor stood up on stage. Trevor then took the microphone and handed it to Aran so he could introduce the duo.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]"Ahem." Aran tapped the microphone, making sure it was on-because, you know, it wasn't like his voice was already loud and obnoxious enough on its own. "LADIES, GENTS, AND WHATEVER ELSE! ARE YOU READY????" [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]If no one cheered, or if people did cheer, either way Aran grabbed his trusty bagpipes and blasted a horrible note right into the microphone. "Hahahaha!!! I knew you weren't ready!! Now, me and my new brother from another mother...an [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]American [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]mother, but still-we're gonna provide you sorry lot with a classic Irish anthem!! Ready? TOO BAD!! HERE WE GOOOOO!!!"[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Burnt Orange = Trevor[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Green = Aran[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Orange = Both[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]The speakers started blaring the pre chosen song, which would start:[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent](We'll be singing when we're winning, we'll be singing…)[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]"I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN![/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!"[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]"I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN![/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN!"[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent](Pissing the night away, Pissing the night away!)[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]"He drinks a whisky drink![/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent] He drinks a vodka drink! [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]He drinks a Lager drink! [/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]He drinks a Cider drink![/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]He sings the songs that remind him of the good times![/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]He sings the songs that remind him of the best times!"[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent](Oh, Danny Boy, Danny Boy, Danny Boy…)[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]"I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN![/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN![/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent](Awesome as fuck bagpipe solo)[/BCOLOR]


[BCOLOR=transparent]"I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN![/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME-"[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]On the last word of the last verse of the song, Trevor tripped over the cord to the speakers and fell right on the stage.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]"Shit! God dammit!!" [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]Trevor yelled in agony, despite it not really hurting that much.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Aran glared at his fellow drunk with pure rage. "You...BASTARD!! You just made a mockery of one of the greatest songs of all time! RAAAAAUUUUUUUGH!!!!"[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]The boxer threw his bagpipes down, on whoever happened to be sitting closest to him in the front row before tackling Trevor, the two rolling to the ground.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]"Oh yeah?!? Come at me you Irish fuck!" [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]Trevor yelled as the two fought on the ground, throwing punches at each other's faces amidst the crowd of people attending what was supposed to be a somewhat classy awards show.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]The two fought and fought until eventually Trevor gave up. This guy wasn't a fatass fuckface douchebag loser like Michael was. He was actually a formidable foe. Standing up and breathing heavily with his hands placed on his knees.. Trevor did something he hadn't done in a while.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]He apologized.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]"Look man I'm uhh… I'm sorry for ruining your song 'n shit. Someone obviously put that cord there to sabotage our show!" [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]Trevor said as he tried to shift the blame to someone else.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]"..." The anger on Aran's face soon turned to a smile. "Hahaha! No worries, mate! I knew you wouldn't do that on purpose!" Aran jumped back onstage, grabbing the mic and pointing at someone in the audience-you all bloody well know who.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]"YOU'LL NEVER BRING ME DOWN, HIDEO!!! NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU SABOTAGE ME!! I'M ARAN FUCKING RYAN, AND I ALWAYS WIN!! AHAHAHAHAHA-WOAH!"[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Aaaand Aran fell off the stage. Brushing himself off he threw an arm around Trevor. "Come on, let's get some more drinks, eh?"[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Trevor nodded in agreement and smiled with a hearty laugh escaping his mouth. [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]"Sounds like a plan, Stan!" [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]The man yelled before making his way over to the bar with his newfound Irish drinking buddy and resume their conversation about politics and business or whatever.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent](Collab with the amazing @Yun Lee ^___^)[/BCOLOR]​

"... actually, mind holding this for me?"

Hideo would casually toss his near empty beer bottle over his shoulder to whoever was around, overhearing Aran's statement. Something about it put Hideo's drunk mind into motion, and while he just puked mere minutes before... it was time...

"... Well well well, I was expecting an outburst like that, Aran. Shouldn't you think twice that you're speaking disgraceful things about I, the rightful god above all, and my gracious presence?"

Strangely, Hideo would pick up this god complex whenever he was drunk, and considering how wasted he was earlier when the show hasn't started. This wasn't bound to end well.

"I don't see the need to~ This battle suit has always felt so comfy to me after all of the time traveling through time!"

Esper sounded especially proud of this one trait. He always found the act of changing attire every day to be tedious, and he always found this piece of attire to be comfy and efficient for his deeds. So why not? At this point, people should know that this was normal of him.

@Bomb @Crow
​

"Christ!"

Hideo would take a moment from being patted on the back to hold his breath, and then apparently puking over to the floor in front of him. Well, this happened around the same time that Zim was walking over to him. Well.. at least the lad hasn't fainted yet despite all of the alcohol he was consuming at this rate.

Harper held up a hand to Lapis and smiled.

"Allow me." The punk said before throwing a knee up towards Blake's groin. If it connected, she should have hit him hard enough for him to feel quite a bit of pain. "That's for being a cheating fuckboi!" Harper yelled before standing up and stretching out. She then looked to Senna. "I'm sorry about that, by the way. I didn't know that this prick had a girlfriend."

As Lapis rambled on about... Other women that, apparently, Blake was affiliated with - Hakuei just stared.

She didn't really know Blake and Senna that well despite having bled and sweat with them during that time, but...

"I see how it is. I hope that Blake-san will 'get his mind straight' soon." Because of her motherly nature, the princess was radiating a fair amount of disappointment and disapproval, even without having to say anything.

Shaking her head, she turned to smile at Senna.

"It is good to see you and -" She caught Setsuna's eye, the girl standing off to the side and observing - "Lady Setsuna again, Lady Senna. You look well."

The princess cast a look around the crowded room.

"Perhaps you have seen Alucard around?"
