week two, wednesday

[countermeasures]

[after the mini-event, jiuqing swings by the bar because she's kind of thirsty from all the running around



and finds nogiku there, i assume]

Oh... Miss Nogiku?

[pura]

[Nogiku is here. Drinking something non-alcoholic behind the bar, actually, because Scarlet only has energy drinks and code red.]

Doctor. Do you want me to grab you something?

[countermeasures]

That would be nice, if you wouldn't mind.

[she holds up her water bottle. it is empty.]

...coming here was closer than heading back to the apartments.

[pura]

It's better stocked, too.

[Variety is good... Nogiku will take the bottle, looking at it thoughtfully.]

Just water? Or something else?

[She'll fill it up with whatever Jiuqing wants.]

[countermeasures]

Water would likely be best after such strenuous activity, but... what other options are there?

[pura]

Sodas. Juice. Alcohol, too. Though, I guess anything with too much sugar might not be as refreshing...

[countermeasures]

...juice might be nice, come to think of it.

[pura]

Oh... Any preference? There's a few.

[countermeasures]

...I know you said something with too much sugar might not be refreshing, but... I do like sweets. So, something sweet?

[pura]

[She thinks for a moment, inspecting whatever selection is available at the bar. And after a moment, she just... pulls down a bottle of apply juice for Jiuqing's approval?]

[countermeasures]

[that looks good to her! she will try some.]

...mm. I like it.

[pura]

Yes? Then, I'll leave the bottle out for you.

[countermeasures]

Thank you. [she smiles] What are you having?

[pura]

[Hmmm...

She looks at her options, and then serves herself, like. Ginger ale?]

[countermeasures]

[she watches the carbonated bubbles and the way the drink fizzes at the top, quietly fascinated]

[pura]

[Perceiving that...]

Is this your first time with this kind of drink?

[countermeasures]

...aaah, is it that obvious?

[pura]

To be honest, a little. You looked pretty fascinated by my drink.

[countermeasures]

It's fascinating, the kinds of things you all have had in your worlds that don't exist in mine.
