Dorm Lobby, Sunday Evening

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

In the lobby is a big-ass banner that reads "WELCOME HOME TIME TRAVELLERS AND AWAY TEAMS AND WORLD SAVERS AND EVERYONE". And... that's more or less it.

On a table in the corner is punch and pie. JUST punch and pie, and the punch comes pre-spiked. There's also a box with a sign on it that says "NO PIE unless you deposit souvenirs here". Feel free to ignore it.

Sokka, after the TREMENDOUS effort involved in planning a shindig such as this, is sitting on the couch and rubbing his eyes, which are still dry and burning from earlier.

"You kiddin'?" Reno stuck out his tongue. "Guy probably spent the entire time he was gone sippin' absinthe and makin' nice with the topless dancin' girls. I don't even know where the hell Paris is, and I think I gotta check this place out for myself, yo."

He really did, dammit.

That said, he had been worried about all of the missing persons. Including, of course, Romeo, who was going to be offered booze in large quantities the moment Reno could grab him for a moment.

Sokka shrugged. "Then he's probably got one heck of a hangover, huh?"

...Topless dancing girls... "I'd better come with you; make sure you stay out of trouble."

[raspberryturk]

"Best way to prevent a hangover is to never sober up," Reno offered. "Gonna have to work on you, though. Can't be bringin' a lightweight to Paris for hallucinogenic alcohol, yo. Wouldn't be pretty."

Sokka grinned. "Please don't tell me you're insulting me for understanding the concept of 'moderation'...?"

[raspberryturk]

Reno smirked and leaned forward, pouring himself another drink.

"What's this 'moderation' of which you speak? Know I heard the word somewhere before..."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka leaned closer and whispered, "Wark!"

[raspberryturk]

"Yeah, yeah, see, proof I don't know the meaning of the word." Reno wondered if maybe Sokka liked breathing at all. Apparently not. "You're still not gettin' a look at my tattoo, Boom."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Frankly, I'm not going to stick around long enough for you to get drunk enough to show me. I'd just... you know. Advise stopping at some point."

[raspberryturk]

"Like I said, stopping is what causes hangovers," Reno shook his head and smirked. "Only thing worse than wakin' up with a bad tattoo is wakin' up with a bad tattoo and a hangover, yo."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"You know, I'd rather wake up being able to remember the good time I had last night, but, you know, that's just me." He shrugged. "Enjoy the punch, yoto."

[raspberryturk]

"Eh, to each their own." Reno shrugged back. "I dunno about you, but I'm gonna drink those stone eyes outta my brain if it kills me, zoto."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka shrugged. "I've seen worse. I'll probably have nightmares tonight, though."

[raspberryturk]

"Yeah, yeah, I've seen worse too, man, but I dunno. For all the crap I've seen, that one's almost near the top."

Reno would have had difficulty choosing between a giant rock in the sky and a stone statue from here on in.

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka shrugged again. "Giant sea monsters have more teeth."

[raspberryturk]

"Giant meteors have more rock," Reno countered.

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"You did NOT seriously just compare being attacked by a giant monster to having a stupid ROCK flying at your head?"

[raspberryturk]

"You weren't there for meteorfall, yo." Reno rolled his eyes and helped himself to more punch. "Imagine a sky that don't never get any light through the clouds anyhow, goin' even more black. And then you go, oh, shit. It ain't the clouds anymore. It's the giant fuckin' boulder that's gonna destroy the planet."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Destroy the PLANET?!??!!" Sokka tried to imagine a meteor that big and failed. "Okay, you win."

[raspberryturk]

Reno gave a shrug of his shoulders and grinned.

"Yeah. Thought I might, zoto." He leaned forward and stuck out his tongue. "So you can take your 'wark' and shove it."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka shrugged back. "It's totally Rikku's 'wark'," he insisted. "I'm just wielding it for her."

[raspberryturk]

"Wise men are more careful how they wield the 'wark's of stronger men's girlfriends," Reno quipped, possibly making an attempt to be philosophical. Mostly coming off as tipsy.

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka raised an eyebrow at him. "Uhhhh... huh. Boy, are YOU drunk."

[raspberryturk]

"Been sober all week, needed to get totally freakin' hammered or somethin," Reno replied, crossing his arms... possibly not a wise move with a glass of punch in his hand. Thank goodness for Pixie Dust discounts on white shirts. "Aw, shit."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka looked at the stain with a chuckle, and then raised an eyebrow at Reno. "YOU'VE been sober all week?" he asked. "I... wouldn't've expected that from you."

[raspberryturk]

"What, you think I can't go without a drink when there's a freakin' crisis goin' on?" Reno... actually was insulted, putting the cup down and trying to wipe the worst of the punch out of his clothing. "I drink a lot, man. But I got my priorities straight now and then, yoto."
