39th Sphere

[got_blitzed]

[Jecht awakens fully dressed in a tuxedo on a red heart-shaped bed.  For some reason, he's holding a bouquet of red roses in his left hand.  He doesn't remember going to bed in a place like this, and he hasn't been drunk since that night he pitched a fit at the post office for taking Garnet's arm.  Sitting up and grumbling, he glances around the room, only to find he's not alone.]

"...All right, what the fuck.  Who the hell are you supposed to be?  This your idea of a joke?  'Cause it ain't funny."

[Shrugs, taking another bite and talking with food in his mouth.]

"Wouldn't know. Never been to any of 'em except that burger place."

[ate-it-all.livejournal.com]

[Conchita gives him a sour look at first, before turning her head away]

Please swallow your food before you speak, darling. I can indeed wait that long for your reply.

Honestly, a man of your age...

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

[Grunts, waving his fork-hand in the air dismissively. He does chew and swallow before talking again, though.]

"What? It's no big deal. Don't be so uptight."

[ate-it-all.livejournal.com]

Uptight? Hmph. It's unpleasant to look at. That should be common sense.

[she has another drink. She might need it. However he did listen despite her complaints, so she decides to change the subject]

... Regardless. To answer your much earlier question, my name is Banika Conchita. You may address me as Lady Conchita, if you please. What may I call you, sir?

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Jecht. Just Jecht.

[ate-it-all.livejournal.com]

Just Jecht, is it? Very well, Mr. Jecht.

[She goes back to eating, assuming he was only willing to give his family name. After all, who only had a first name? That woulld be ridiculous.]

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

...I said just Jecht is fine.

[ate-it-all.livejournal.com]

My, what a stern look. I apologize, Jecht.

[she just thinks it's weird not using formalities, I mean this man is definitely older than her. Even if he has the manners of a child...]

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

"That's better."

[Grins.]

[ate-it-all.livejournal.com]

... Good~.

[ She's dubious of his shit-eating grin, so she smiles back and then promptly returns to her meal. ]

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

[That's just fine by him, so he goes back to the meal and eats his fill.]

[ate-it-all.livejournal.com]

[So they eat in silence. Once the meal is done, Conchita turns to the bottle. The mini-bar should allow her to continue her gustatory pleasure!!]

Ah, delightful.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

[Goes over to sit on the bed, flipping on the TV.]

"Wonder what's on..."

[ate-it-all.livejournal.com]

"On?"

[Conchita turns a bit with her glass - oh snap, the DEMON BOX is awake]

...

[she peers at it attentively.]

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

"...Uh, yeah. TV?"

[Points back at it.]

[ate-it-all.livejournal.com]

T...V.

[she tilts her head in confusion, but suddenly recalls an incident and straightens]

Oh, please don't misunderstand. I do own one, but it's really the most peculiar thing. The little devils inside can speak, but they honestly don't know how to listen at all. I wouldn't waste your time with them.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

"...Right. Whatever."

[Keeps flipping through channels.]

"Unless you got a better idea, this is about all we've got."

[ate-it-all.livejournal.com]

Well, suit yourself. It hardly matters.

[she decides to watch anyway though. He's got a point. Drinking's not really as entertaining as eating, yet.]

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

"Wonder if there's anything else in there to drink."

[Glances over at the mini-bar, but makes no moves to actually go over there.]

[ate-it-all.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I'll check, shall I?

[she's nearly done with the wine anyway. May as well.

So Conchita goes over and opens up the minibar. There's a TON of drinks]

Good heavens. Quite the selection we have, Jecht.

[she looks over at him] Still thirsty, are we?

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

"...Anything that's not booze?"

[Leans over to look.]

[ate-it-all.livejournal.com]

[she fishes around in the cupboard. Besides the booze, she just finds club soda and grenadine.]

Hmhm...

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

[Stands up and walks on over at last.]

"What's that stuff?"

[ate-it-all.livejournal.com]

Why, I'm not too certain what this is... [she hands up the grenadine for him to see]

But this bottle [the club soda that is] must be that "sodapop" the children enjoy.

[setting it down, she moves some more things around and discovers some chocolate sauce. Wow they really get creative with the drink ingredients here... or maybe it's for other uses]

I found chocolate!

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

"Guess I'll try the red stuff."

[Grabs up the grenadine and starts drinking straight out of the bottle.]

"...Hm. Cherry. Not bad. Little thick, though."
