A crisp morning, that December was. A cold, average day. quiet, at least until twelve PM. That, of course, was the opening hour of Mainstreed, the Questboards, and the Cherrywood Bar and Wood fire Pizza restaurant, a well-known hang out spot of a specific low-grade monster-bashing team, as well as where we find said team blacked out, on the floor, like usual.

 

NeverBetter awoke with a grunt, coughing up a ball of hair, he tried to recall last night's events. "That's the last time I let Yuffie get my drinks... I think I bit a chunk out of Silver's hair again..." He sighed picking himself up off the ground, he looked around at the rest of his drunken and sleeping team.

 

"All of you, get up, please!" NeverBetter called to his teammates. 

 

(Welcome to the world we now as Alternate. I have just put us all here for now, as I feel its the easiest way to do things in terms of kicking us off.  Let the posting commence!)

(Ah my bad didnt think of that)

 

As the other guild members danced, drank, and overall celebrated their "victory", Cap stayed behind, making sure to harvest as many feathers and horns as he could, in hopes of making enough money to purchase a humble base for the guild, that way they didn't have to worry about sleeping on the floor of a restaurant and bar every night. Sadly, his comrades only seemed to think about partying and violence, as usual. Seriously, they acted as if taking out one of the top guilds was a great triumph, when in actually, it put a giant target on their back, as well as a great deal of responsibility that, frankly, Cap wasn't sure they could handle just yet.

 

The tears streaming from his remaining organic eye didn't help brighten his mood either. Not only did he find the behavior of his guild mates rather ridiculous, but to be honest, seeing Neverbetter seemingly die in a fiery explosion really affected him. It'd been three years since he'd been caught in the explosion that nearly killed him, but although he never talked about it with anyone, the event still gave him nightmares. It was because of a fiery explosion, much like the one that had happened mere minutes ago, that nearly killed him. That caused most people to see him as a freak. That caused children to run in the opposite direction at the sight of him. That caused the deaths of several other innocents, some of which Cap knew personally. This was the other reason Cap stayed behind. Because he needed time alone to vent out his emotions so that he could go back to being his cool, calm, snarky self.

 

As kev grabbed his first drink of the night, he followed the conga line aound. as they passed the front of the building, he noticed out the front door that cap was still in the rubble, gathering pegasi parts. he grabbed a second beer and began to walk to him. he said to himself "cap needs to lighten up. thatll still be here in the morining." however, as he approached, he saw cap was crying. that shocked him. he had never seen cap cry like this. he didnt want to see any of his friends like that. he resolved to go over and try to help. he set down both beers on a table, tossed some money to Never and said " the next few rounds on me. ill be right back" He walked over to cap who was bent over and, before he noticed kev was there, he sat down next to cap and said "you okay, buddy?"

Axel joined the new conga line. "Reyn, come on, join in! Only a true wielder of the Monado can conga as well as I can." He taunted his friend as usual.

Reyn smirked. "Alright then, i'll just have to prove that i've got the skills of a Congo Line master then." He ran in and starting dancing in the Conga line with the others.

Soul woke up, completely drained of energy.

 

"Something."

 

In his mind, however, he was ranting explosively.  He considered promptly walking over to a tree and banging his head.

(I just realized I forgot to set Soul down after dragging him back to the bar... Oops.)

 

Axel heard Soul speak, and remembered that he was still somehow carrying his friend while dancing the conga. "Oh, hi Soul." He stopped dancing for a second to set him back down, then continued dancing while speaking to him. "Are you feeling okay after that fight?" He asked, hoping Soul wasn't hurt too badly.

(I noticed that too )

 

Soul rolled to the nearest piano, his eyes lacking any emotion.

 

"I just need... to play.... Chopin's.... etude...."

 

He passed out a step away from the honky-tonk piano.

"... Well, he can talk at least." Axel said. "Anyone know how to wake him up? We could use some music." He asked.

"Neko...." he mumbled unconsciously, "Why am I only.... 1/10th....."

 

Soul rolled over, saliva drooling from his mouth.

"What? Yeah, I'm... I'm alright. Just dealing with some memories I'd rather forget." Cap said, wiping the tears from his cheek. He didn't expect Kevin, or anyone for that matter, to come back, but deep down, he was glad for the company. "Hey Kev, do you ever wonder what you're doing here? Why you decided to join one of the guilds, or perhaps this guild in particular?" he asked as he finished cutting of a dead unicorn's horn, and began plucking it's feathers.

(I have no idea what happened but I'm just going to respond to Soul because I'm 30% sure we are back in the bar)

 

Neko looked at Soul, a little bit confused.

"U-Um..." she muttered.

"What did I do again?" she asked. 

 

"What? Yeah, I'm... I'm alright. Just dealing with some memories I'd rather forget." Cap said, wiping the tears from his cheek.

"Well, i joined a guild because when i was younger, all i wanted to do was go on adventures. i used to read so many stories, and wanted nothing more than to quest and defeat monsters and be a hero. As for why this guild in particular, i was  so scrawny as a kid that when it was time to join, Never was the only one who saw any potential in me." He chuckled at this. "I dont blame the other guilds, i could barley lift a sword." He drew his large broad sword. "Never handed me this, and it was almost comical, the way it dragged me to the ground. i tried so hard, but couldnt lift it. NeverBetter just laughed and said "i like you kid, you got heart. your in." and from that moment on, ive never once regretted joining this guild." He re-sheathed his sword. "We're a family. We might be kinda irresponsible, but we get by. Anyone in the guild will have your back without a second thought. sure we might not be the best with money, and we probably drink too much, and we arent the strongest, but these are the best damn guild mates i could ask for, and ill take that over 'top guild' status any day." he took a second, and then patted cap on the back. "Im truly sorry for whatever painful things happened to you Captian." He stood. "But its in the past. You cant change it. In the present, youve got a bar full of family and cold beer waiting for you." He smiled a big smile from ear to ear. "I dont know about you, but i prefer to focus on the latter." He held out a hand to help Cap up.

He caught the muffin and shoved it whole in his mouth. "MMMFFPH" he muffled, which could be translated to "thanks bro!" He was already getting loud, and he hadnt even gotten a drink yet. This was gonna either be destructive or feelz-full, but no matter what, it was gonna be fun.

Nortanort smiled at how much Kevin loved the muffin he had been tossed. He liked watching people enjoy his muffins, which was half of the reason he carried around a large supply of muffins with him at all time. How, exactly, they managed to stay fresh whilst they were in his cloak, was something he tried to not think about. That seemed to actually make them go stale faster. 

 

Then Axel started doing the Conga whilst still carrying Soul. Nort barely held back a laugh as Axel put Soul down, and continued to Conga. And then Soul ended up passing out just before reaching the piano. Nortanort sighed, and walked over to him. He reached down, lifted Soul up, and put him down on the stool nearest the piano. He turned to Neko, to answer her question, "I don't really know," before turning to Axel and saying, "If I know him well enough, this should either wake him up... or leave him rolling off the stool, and falling face first into the floor. Either way, he'll awaken!" clearly taking a bit too much pleasure in the idea.

(Wish I could like this because this is just like something I would do.)

(theres a like quota? huh, learn something new everyday.)

A lolita walked past Soul in a blurry garden as he dreamt. Short, black hair, in a white dress. Sayu? No.... Xion? Not really.... The child turned toward him, simply whispering "again."

 

Waking up, Soul found himself on the piano. Picking out the tune of "My favorite things", he played a jazz version seen on Sakamichi with his own occasional bursts of waltz format.

Silver proceeded to sit down on his usual bar stool. The barkeep already knew what the cat-boy wanted: Dr. Pepper, as always. The glass of soda was slid to him, and Silver quietly took a sip from it. The bar night seemed to be going as usual. Soul was doing his thing at the piano, Neverbetter was being a doofus, Nort was being Nort, Yuffie was drunk....it was the same thing as always.

"Mmh." Silver quietly hummed to himself as he quickly downed the glass and ordered another.

"Silver! I demand a rap battle wit u homes!" NeverBetter said in a fake gangster accent.

"Epic rap battles of history~" Soul declared without taking his eyes off the piano. "Crona Gorgon vs Silver Kuroi!"

"Epic rap battles of history~" Soul declared without taking his eyes off the piano. "Crona Gorgon vs Silver Kuroi!"

"Oi, I may be brutish, but I ain't ugly as a snake!" NeverBetter yelled in protest. "That's why I want Yuffie to play my part!"

(Nort being Nort. That's probably the best description of my actions, and I'm not even joking here!)

Nortanort walked up to Soul, and asked, "Do you have some sort of magical super power that allows you to be drunk without having drunk a thing? Or am I just crazy?" he added, "You know what, now that I think about it, don't answer that question." He then turned to NeverBetter, and said, "You want... Yuffie to play your part... in your own rap battle? Which you yourself asked for? Or am I missing something?" somewhat confused. He shrugged, pulled a muffin out from under his cloak, and sat on the nearest bar stool. Turning to the bartender, he stated, "I'll have your strongest cup of milk," whilst holding out his somewhat full wallet. A few minutes later, he was quietly resting, with nothing but his thoughts and a glass of milk as company. Just the he liked it. 

Neko sighed, simply sitting beside Soul.

"I think I'm going to get drunk and forget all of this." She said seriosuly.

"Yes. In fact, Nort, it's been my specialty since 2012." he replied. "I also know the perfect drunken waltz to ease your stress, Neko."Lifting his hands, he played a new theme.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lmJ1Dywe1w

I mean I want a musician who can play well and not call me ugly!" NeverBetter replied.
