Summary: It’s hard being the only sane person in the room.

Seika wasn’t quite sure what to make of the situations really. She couldn’t explain why she at Skull Pub at this hour of the night either. It was all very strange. Speaking of strange…
“Why are we dressed as pirates?”
“Because it’s fun?” came the response from her best friend Hotaru. Seika stared at her. Hotaru smiled. “That and the rules of the pub say you can’t come in unless you’re dressed as a pirate!”
Seika looked around. It was true. The patrons of the pub were dressed in the oddest fashion, with eyepatches, gold chains and bright colored rags. Did that fellow have a parrot sitting on his head?
“Alright fine. I’ll accept why we’re dressed pirates, but why are we at a pub?” Seika demanded. Her voice dropped into a low hiss. “What do you think people will think if it was discovered their Queen, the most powerful magic user in all of Chess.” Seika pause her sentence look behind her spotting Kai in the corner. “And the King were at a pub, getting drunk?”
Hotaru picked up her drink from the counter and swished it before taking a sip. “Oh relax. No one is going to notice us. If they do and have a problem with it, they should try doing my job for a day,” she said with a snort. “On the brink of war, politics and a bunch of elders who haven’t approved of me since I took the throne nearly ten years ago,” she muttered to herself. “I should fire the lot.”
Seika resisted the urge to slam her head into the counter. “And if someone tries to attack you or the castle?”
“Shinki is watching the castle along with everyone else who is too young to drink or simply didn’t want to come. The castle is fine. As for someone attacking me, well that’s why you’re here my dear knight.”
Seika opened her mouth to reply before a guy wearing a blue bandana came up to them and swung his arms around their shoulders. “Hello lassies. Why don’t we –“
He was cut off when he found a tiny dagger pressed against his throat by Seika. “I wouldn’t do that,” Hotaru said in a sing-song voice. “She doesn’t like guys hitting on her.”
Wisely and quickly the guy disappeared back into the masses of people of the pub. “Relax Seika,” Hotaru ordered. “It’s just one night.
That's all I have. I dunno. I don't know where it's going or what it's doing.
xD Yeah. I know the feeling. *starts days before to finish homework*
You should! <3
Alright.

“Relax Seika,” Hotaru ordered. “It’s just one night.”
Seika snorted. “Please, the last time you said that, I woke up with pink hair. The time before that, the entire castle was covered in soap, the time before that every single piece of food disappeared from the kitchen, the time before that the entire water supply was turned into orange juice, the time before that—“
“That wasn’t my fault!” Hotaru interrupted. “You know darn well Raikiri was the one who filled the castle with soap, turn the water into juice and made the food disappear, I never did figure that out, and Ita, your fiancée is the one who dyed your hair pink.” She gestured to two men at the end of the counter standing near Kai. The black hair man who was juggling balls of fire and clearly drunk was Ita while the silver hair one was Raikiri, encouraging him on and just as drunk. “Ita is lucky fire magic is fairly common otherwise our so called cover would have been blow ages ago.”
Seika twitched and made a mental note to sentence her fiancée to sleep on the couch for the next two months.
“That’s not the point,” Seika hissed. “The only reason why Ita did that was because Raikiri got him drunk. Do you remember why Raikiri got Ita drunk in the first place? Why the hell the soap appeared, the food disappeared and the water turned to juice in the first place?”
“Raikiri found some hooch,” Hotaru replied instantly. Then she stopped and slowly the pieces of the puzzles clicked into place.
“Oh.”
“Exactly,” Seika hissed. “So what do you think is going to happen when Raikiri get drunk enough?”
Hotaru’s eyes widen. Then she picked up her glass, drowned down the rest of the clear liquid and then asked, “Is it too late to run?”
well, tho sometimes you just have to do your homework. :3
