BAAM!
James slammed down a frothy tankard in front of Aestrea, the foam spilling over the rim.
"Alright, everyone, listen up!" He banged his knuckles on the table, making a few nearby patrons jump.
"No mana circulation tonight! I don't wanna hear excuses. If you're not getting drunk, you're not doing it right."
"Yeah, no cheating. We're gonna see who taps out first like normal people." Derek grinned, already uncapping a dark bottle.
Aestrea raised an eyebrow.
"You're seriously disabling mana just for this?"
"Damn right we are," James said, taking a swig and slamming the mug down again.
"It's graduation. If you don't feel like you're gonna puke by the end of it, then you're doing it wrong."
"For once, I actually agree with James. Let's see if our great Aestrea can handle drinking like a human instead of a walking god." Mia raised her own glass, smirking.
"Oh, I'm very interested in this." Maria chuckled low, swirling her drink before taking a slow sip.
Clang!
