"I live for the fact that I have a life to live. It may not be a good life or a happy life so far, but it's a life." Oltri put her cup down. "I have memories I'd rather not have, but if those memories were erased ones I cherish would go away as well. Everybody has ups and downs in their lives; some more than they should have, but I suppose it doesn't matter as long as you want to live, because it's going to end someday no matter how long you live and you might as well make the best of it."

"Hn..." Kaori said, letting the words of Oltri sink in. "You're right, Corp." She smirked. "We've got one life to live, and not that long at that..." She took another drink. "To life..." she said, lifting her glass up for a toast.

Oltri lifted her empty cup. "To life." She agreed.

Kaori clinked her glass against Oltri's and drank from it. "That felt...sort of good..." Kaori said, looking at the drink wondering if they put something new in it.

"That's good to hear. It sucks when I'm depressed so I'm assuming it's the same for you." Oltri picked up her things, "Anyway, I gotta go now. The bar fights seem to be long over, and it seems I have no other reason to stay here. See you later, or something." She got up and slid past the bouncers into the night.

Kaori waved her off and continued to drink, wondering who else she would bump into on this night of free drinks and hidden sorrows.

Ryosei entered the bar without any trouble, passing the bouncers with a nod of his head. It wasn't exactly his ideal choice for a place to drink, but he was thirsty and couldn't find another place. The elf had made an effort to look as shady as possible, as it was rather late in the night and the drunkards would probably looking for some easy looking prey to quench their violent urges. Had Ryosei entered looking like he did normally, there would be somebody picking a fight with him within seconds.
His hair, which was usually tied back into a neat ponytail, was intentionally shaggy and hung over his bright green eyes, which Ryosei made sure to squint so they wouldn't look so large and innocent. He wore a large black cloak to cover his rather feminine frame, hoping it would make him look wider than he really was. Surprised he had made it this far, he made for the bar in as seedy a manner as he could.
Ryosei tried not to make eye contact with anybody as he sat down at the bar and waited for the bartender to take his order. Ryosei didn't exactly have a history as a hard drinker and hoped he wasn't obliged to order anything particularly hard. Glancing to his side, he noticed the person before him had had quite a bit to drink already, judging by the glasses in front of her.

Kaori turned to look at the newcomer in the bar. She noticed him to be from the SEA Corps. What was it with this bar and the Corps? 'Well, whatver...' Kaori said in her head, shrugging it off. She was drinking, and that was all that mattered for now.

Ryosei, who's senses had been alert up until now, eased up a bit, realising the bar wasn't as rowdy as it seemed from the outside. Perhaps the fights had all taken place already, or at least he hoped so.
The bartender approached him and he ordered his drink. The bartender eyed him suspiciously, probably wondering why a rough-looking character like him would order such a piss-weak drink.

"You should probably order something harder..." Kaori said, not having have helped eavesdropping on the drink he had ordered. "If you don't, you'll be a part of those fights that have been taking place earlier." She took a drink from hers, and seemed really sober compared to what she had drank. "But disregard that if ya like...."

"Um, okay," Ryosei answered, a little taken aback by the suggestion. He hadn't realised his error, as he didn't really know his drinks. A fight was the last thing he wanted. "Thanks."
As the bartender delivered his drink, which was a yellowy colour with a little umbrella sticking out of it. Ryosei cringed and took the umbrella and hid it as fast as he could. "Um, I'll also have a couple of whatever she's having," he said sheepishly to the bartender, gesturing towards the person beside him.
As the bartender nodded and went to get the drinks, Ryosei turned and whispered to the girl beside him. "Uh, how strong is that stuff anyway?"

Kaori smirked as she saw him hide the umbrella. "Well, " Kaori said, thinking about the question she had been asked. "It's strong enough to keep you out of a fight, but not so strong as to have you knocked out after the first sip.

"That's good to hear. Thank you," came the reply. "I'm not looking to get smashed, whichever way you want to interperate that..."
Turning to his now umbrella-less cup, he drank quietly and, luckily, it didn't effect him in the slightest. This stuff must have been REALLY weak...
"I don't suppose there's any point trying to hide it now. You know I'm not the rough tough kind of character I tried to make everyone think." He pushed the hair that was hanging in front of his face back behind his long ears, as it was starting to annoy him. He wondered how people got about with their hair dangling over their eyes all the time in places like this.
"My name is Ryosei...and you look familiar," he added, looking directly at the girl beside him for the first time. "Have we met before?"

"I believe so..." Kaori said. "Many a time, although we may have been on our seperate teams. The name's Kaori."

"Ah, right," Ryosei said as the bartender delivered his two drinks. "A pirate. Then you know I'm part of the corps."
With a sigh, the elf turned to his drink and took a sip. It was strong, so he made sure not to drink too fast. "I'm off duty right now though. Are you guys ever off duty, or are you deep in thought as to which area you're going to plunder next?"
