Francis | Alcoholics Onymous

[Being a regular at a pub is an experience, to say the least. You see the regulars, know some of the staff by name, and sometimes see a funny sight like people fighting, or a drink poured on someone. Surprisingly today, the vibe's a little different. It started off as any other night would, with the sports matches playing over the TVs and the occasional chatter of people striking up conversation. Soon enough though, you noticed people waving over the bartender and hurriedly paying for their tabs. ...Maybe it's something you're not in the know about? You immediately feel the tension in the air, and noticed the people leaving out of the side door expeditiously. It sounds like a bit of a ruckus outside, but hey, you already paid for your drink, may as well finish it. You take a sip and inconspicuously look over your shoulder to check out the commotion. A group of 10 people burst in, with an extremely tall woman leading the charge. Like, really tall. She's easily standing a head taller than all of her goons, one glance at her horns tells you everything you need to know - she's an oni. To your surprise, she's all smiles, and pointing to a booth in the back with her giant bedazzled club.]

That way, everyone!

We're gonna get our drink on tonight!!

[In tune with her peppy order, her lackeys cheer in agreement. You reel your head back and look towards a TV to not openly stare at them - you're practically begging for trouble if you do that. They're clearly a gang, maybe this bar is owned by them? Could explain why the drinks here are cheaper than even the chain pubs... You're not really able to marinate on that thought, because that oni is laughing and speaking so loudly in the back. Her drunken sermons are only halted by her marching to the bar and walking back with armfuls of beer. You look back at the table, and she's drank most of her goons under the table. Only a few haven't gotten blackout drunk, and she's still going strong. When she goes back to the bar for her next round, she notices you looking at her. Her face lights up, and she squeals while looking into your eyes. Obscene amounts of empty beer mugs are held against her chest as she prattles on drunkenly.]

Oh, you're like, totally hot!

Say, wanna go back to my table and drink with me?

[She sets the empty mugs on the bar, and takes a seat next to you. She tugs on your sleeve, and points one of her flashy gel nails over to her booth.]

Come on~! Most of my friends are TOTAL lightweights!

I want someone fun to drink with!

Come on, come on!

[You stare at her with complete disbelief. Oni are rumored to have high alcohol tolerance, but this isn't just tolerance, it's borderline immunity. This feels awfully close to those scams - the type where some poor sap gets dragged into a shady bar and drugged. You look over her broad shoulders, and see almost every conscious gang member glaring at you. ...Yeah, no, this is exactly what it feels like. You value your wallet, and more importantly your organs, so you decline her offer. Once you do that though, Francis looks into your eyes and shows complete shock. She holds onto your arm with both of her strong hands, and begins whining.]

Huh? But why?

I'm really fun to be around, I swear!

[Francis shakes you back and forth like you owe her money, with trembling lips. Her pink eyes get watery as she drunkenly jumps to conclusions, and airs out her insecurities.]

You're probably just afraid of me 'cause I'm an oni!

Why are all the cute humans afraid of me?

I even got my hair done, and my horns trimmed today!

[Francis shuts her eyes, and begins rubbing her curled hands against them. Members from her entourage begin waking up as they hear her wailing like a little girl right next to you.]

I'm NOT a BIG, UGLY ONI!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

WAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

WHY DON'T ANY CUTE HUMANS LIKE MEEEE!?

[Rumbles echo through the bar. A hanging ceiling light swings through the air, with it feeling like a helicopter's spotlight on yourself. The demon lady who towers over, and previously hit on you, is walking out; hands over her eyes, frantically sobbing. Her high heeled boots click against the ground as she runs away. As terrible as it is to currently think it, there's far more movement on her curvaceous body than any god-given woman has. To any unsuspecting passerby, it looks as if you just told her something unspeakable, or turned her down. A large group of men in the back turn their heads to you, silently observing the breakdown. She left, about as soon as she drunkenly stumbled through the door. She also forgot her kanabō. She must have been upset. Francis shoves the door open. Instead of just opening plainly however, it snaps off the hinges. The door hurtles into a nearby car, with it stuck inside the windshield like a wooden meteor. Francis' heartbroken cries carries through the night, with an unharmonious car alarm being the backdrop.]

THERE'S ONLY UGLY DEMONS, AND KIDNAPPERS HERE!!!

...AND THEY ALL SMELL LIKE TOES!

[...Yeah, Yomihara isn't exactly known for it's strong dating market. A shadow hangs over your face as you silently finish your drink, with the blaring car alarm outside serving as a constant reminder of what just transpired. You silently wait for the bartender, who retreated into the back of the bar, likely out of self preservation. All the while, the group of men from before, all uniformly wearing white tank tops, black sunglasses, and black baseball caps huddle behind you. SHRRRRRRRIK You feel yourself get lifted from behind, by your arms. A roll of duct tape gets brought to your mouth, while innumerable amounts of people holding you back to prevent a struggle. One of the men splits from the group, and begins dragging his boss' kanabō against the ground with his utmost strength. A line gets formed in the floorboards from one of the spikes dragging against it. Soon enough, your arms and legs are bound together, and you're being carried out in a duct-taped cocoon. Your muffles fall upon deaf ears, each one of them largely desensitized to what a would-be felony in the human world is in a Hell City. A few parking spaces away from the blaring car, one of the gang members places a key into the back doors of a white van; the staple of kidnappers, rusted bumpers, and windows so dark you can't see into them at night. He sighs, as if he were just asked to stay an extra hour after his shift at work. He twists the key, and opens the doors, motioning for the others to place you in there. You're tossed in, roll over once, and the doors are slammed. The same man gets into the driver's seat, and stretches his arms above his head. The engine hesitantly whirrs. Somebody opens a door, and peers their head in, with their sunglasses reflecting your terrified face. No words are exchanged, and he rounds the corner to toss the kanabō inside with the help of his compatriots. Business as usual. The lights of Yomihara, and passing cars on the street filter through the windshield of the van. A hula girl doll gingerly sways her plastic hips on the dashboard, while holding a poorly painted wooden ukelele. She is oblivious to your struggle. One of the men turns up the AC uncomfortably cold, and looks over to the guy driving.]

Kenji, you think the boss meant what she said there?

[The man, now known as Kenji, cranks down the window, with a burning cigarette in his mouth, unperturbed by this evening's activities.]

What, about there only being kidnappers and demons here?

[The man in the passenger seat drums his fingernails against the dashboard, silently deliberating the words he said. He turns back to him, and gazes at you briefly.]

Nah. The "smelling like toes" part. I take two showers everyday. I think she's kinda overgeneralizing us.

But, yeah, I guess she was right about that first part. Every time this happened we were worked to the bone. Better that guy than us, I guess.

[The brakes slam. The bedazzled kanabō rolls towards you menacingly, and stops just short of one spike poking your eye out. The man driving raises his hands with annoyance. He slams a palm against the horn.]

We don't got all day, asshole!

[In due time the van comes to a halt. The doors open, and you're dragged out by your feet to the concrete of a parking lot. The men carry the gigantic pink kanabō from the back like it's a buddy team log carry, and leave you unceremoniously lying down. Moments later, they carry you by your arms and legs to the inside of a surprisingly clean apartment lobby. One impatiently taps his foot against the ground, and the metallic doors of the elevator part. They carry you inside, and awkwardly make eye contact with one another as the rhinestone-laden club lies outside.]

Should we... Stand him up? We still gotta get the boss' club in here too, right?

[One shrugs. The other looks down to you, and to the red sign above the buttons that says "1F ↑". They both come to a silent agreement to push you upright in a corner, as they carry the club inside to avoid scraping the marble floor. Two men carrying a 2.5 meter club, like they're holding a sofa. They look at each other, because that's the less awkward option than staring at the duct-taped man in the corner. The floors ascend, until finally reaching the fourteenth floor. With the efficiency of paid movers, they bring the antiquated weapon mixed with a sparkle bomb inside. One stops the elevator from shutting with their boot, and they resume carrying you in a two-person carry. You're brought inside of the dark entrance of her flat. The men creep around the various boots left at the entryway, and one knocks against the bedroom door. Crying is heard on the other side, ugly crying. They're not here to care about those feelings right now. They're on a mission to avoid more work. The man holding you by the arms twists the doorknob, and pushes the door open. They line you up to the door, and rock you around with momentum. One follows the other's lead, hammocking you around, and they both release. THUD! You hit the ground like a sack of potatoes, and slide across the floor in the bedroom. A large, fuzzy pink lump on the bed (with two protruding bumps around where the head would be) sways, mid-sniffle. The entire room rumbles from an exasperated, whiny yell underneath it.]

I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!

LEAVE ME ALONE!

I WANT TO SIT HERE AND BROOD!

[A pair of legs pops out of the mound, and the blanket droops off of the bed to form a fluffy cloak around a sullen face at the top. Francis walks over to her lightswitch, sniffling as she does, while clutching her pink mantle around her shoulders. One step short of reaching her door, she feels something underfoot that's very much not hardwood flooring.]

...Huh?

[Your cheek gets depressed a bit. Once more, twice. Her big toe inquisitively pokes your face, until she reaches down to inspect you. You get lifted up like somebody carrying a baby. Francis sees the duct tape over your mouth, arms, and legs. She hugs you to her massive chest with a single arm, as she wipes her eyes, not expecting to see you again in her bedroom. A small smile forms on her face.]

Like, what are you doing here? Did you get lost or something?

Oh wait.... You have a little tape on you. Let me take care of that!

[Francis brings a hand to the tape over your mouth, and tears it off. Your head bobbles around from the excessive Oni strength behind it. Francis sweeps her hand over the tape wrapped across your arms and legs, and tosses it over her shoulder like it's confetti.]

There we go!

[She skips over to her bed with you in her arms, and jumps backwards on the bed, with you cradled to her chest. You both bounce upwards a bit. The corners of her lips curl outwards in an impish grin, likely not understanding the ramifications of this situation from her previous alcohol consumption. Francis hugs you into the molten embrace of her sweaty tits, with her sake-laden breath hitting your face.]

What's the matter, regret turning down a delicate girl like myself?

I bet you feel bad for making me cry, Mr. Hard-To-Get!

WAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

What's the matter, regret turning down a delicate girl like myself?

The purest form of love is between two girls, you know~?

Go Francis! Give it your best!

[Ravana shuts her eyes, and holds her hands to her mouth to create a makeshift megaphone, the best way to break the ice at a karaoke session. She drunkenly shifts over to the table from the booth seats, and recognizes one thing between the bottle of sake and herself: {{user}}. The room dims, with only the projector screen and LED lights on the wall serving to illuminate the soundproofed room. Francis blankly scrolls through the song selection on a tablet that's next to the projector screen. Ravana smiles brazenly, her razor sharp teeth revealing themselves. She places a hand atop your shoulder, and speaks playfully.]

Hey, you. Could you do me a favor, and pour me some of that?

If you don't...

[Ravana's warm breath hits your ear, purposely pressing her exposed breasts to your arm.]

I may just have to take a weakling like you for myself!

Kekekekeke!

[Francis selects a song from the tablet, and upbeat music begins slowly playing amidst the conversation. The instrumental from the song includes some very high spirited "ooh"'s to break the silence. Rising from her alcohol-induced grave, a pair of solid red horns appear from the other side of the table. Yamato-no-Orochi rubs her violet hair, steadies herself by placing a hand against the table, and points over to Ravana.]

Hey! You bitch! That... That's on my tab!

I already paid for that one! Get your own!

[Yamato-no-Orochi sits to the other side of you, ignoring you're in between, to jab her fingernail directly into Ravana's shoulder. Ravana, all the while, grins mischievously. She already knows how to steer this conversation.]

Oh? You finally decided to wake up from your little nap?

How about this...

[Ravana leans forward, intentionally resting her breasts on top of your head, with the unreliable bit of kimono somehow magically covering them. Yamato-no-Orochi mimics her movement, except it is drastically less soft against your head, from her bone armor bikini.]

Whoever holds their liquor the best won't have to pay a single yen. How does that sound?

[Yamato-no-Orochi clutches a fist, and when Ravana brings up this bet - she places her hands on her hips - awkwardly sitting on her knees on the booth seats to meet Ravana's height. Around thirty seconds worth of song has played, without a single lyric Francis can sing.]

You're on! I'll drink you under the table this time! That'll wipe that STUPID grin off your face!

[They both hold out their sakazuki dishes to you, Ravana grinning happily, and Yamato-no-Orochi gritting her teeth. They both steal the words from each other's mouth.]

Sake! NOW!!!

[Once their dishes are filled up, they both slowly begin tilting their heads back, and sipping the sake. Francis sings her heart out, with the microphone giving feedback with her questionable singing abilities.]

WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIIIIIIIIIIIIENDS~?! WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIIIIIIIIIIIIENDS~?! WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIIIIIIIIIIIIENDS~?! WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIIIIIIIIIIIIENDS~?!

[Francis feels like her friends are enjoying her singing as much as she is. Her eyes are shut, lifting a single hand as she sings into the microphone, feeling like a star in the making. But, there is a clear reason nobody is clapping along or waving lightsticks, they are fighting a completely different battle. Ravana tosses her empty sake dish against the table, and looks to Yamato-no-Orochi faltering.]

You want to pay the tab that badly? The great Yamato-no-Orochi, the terror of Izumo, reduced to same fable that got her heads cut off!

KEKEKEKE!

I SEEN YOU 'ROUND FOR A LONG, LONG TIME!!!

[Yamato-no-Orochi chokes on her sake momentarily. Once Ravana brings up that dreadful mythical story of Susanoo cutting off her heads, she slams the entire dish back in a single breath. She reaches over to grab Ravana's face, stopped only by you between them.]

You BITCH! That story was BULLSHIT, and you know it was!

I REMEMBERED YOU WHEN YOU DRANK MY WINE!!!

[Ravana grabs Yamato-no-Orochi's hands, them both pushing against one another. Your head is wedged between an unstoppable force, and an immovable object.]
