Would you like a fresh cup? Also, I'm not really an indirect person. Or that sleazy, for that matter. Aoi, you-- need to meet men who are nicer to you.
he. muffles a laugh behind his hand. it's not unkind, though, so. ] No, not a fan? Maybe we should find something else you might like.
[ hopping up from his barstool! ] I've never had a drink with the juice of a tomato in it. [ being fantasy chinese means no bloody mary. ] What other flavors do you like?
Well, you're here to indulge, right? So you might as well say "fuck the censorship laws."
[ whatever those are. there's some fourth wall related irony here.
anyway! he's squatting down to look through some of the bottles, and sets out what he can find, mainly - something in a clear bottle called chǐxiāng, which google has informed me is a savory chinese vodka made with pork fat. hello. he also grabs a plain bottle of what is likely just vodka.
and... let's see. a pale, light rice wine... maybe that's enough to start. ]
You and I have that in common, anyway. I'm not a big fan of sweets, either. [ after a moment, he pops back up from behind the bar! ] Alright. Shall we? Anything you'd like to try first?
he'll grab two small shotglasses and go to pour each of them a drink from the bottle, bringing the rest of the haul back over to the other side so they can hop back into their seats. ]

anyway hello aoi??? gu yun's futzing around on his phone with a glass of wine in his hand so when she comes to join him. ]
...Aoi? Hello.
no subject
Hello.
no subject
What're you drinking? [ glancing over her shoulder to look at it... ] I didn't take you for the type.
no subject
[ ... ??? anyway she looks over at his drink. ]
What about you?
no subject
Baiju whiskey on the rocks.
[ law practice, etc. ]
...What do you mean "apparently"?
no subject
[ hmm. she doesn't really know alcohol very well though. ]
Yours sounds more mature.
no subject
he offers her the glass? ]
Only one way to find out if you like it.
no subject
[ no ]
no subject
sighs. ]

Everyone is really nice to Aoi.
[ she sips. and makes a face... and hands it back........... ]

[ she gets up too, to follow! ]
Aoi likes savory tastes more than sweets, but Aoi isn't picky.

[ well now i'm mad because that first one sounds good? to me? in real life? excuse???
but aoi points arbitrarily at the rice wine. sure. let's start there. ]
That one?
no subject

We ought to toast, hm?
no subject
Is there anything to toast to?
no subject
eventually, he smiles, and nudges the cup across to her. ]
New experiences?
no subject
Oh! That's a good one. Aoi has had a lot of new experiences, here.
no subject
[ lifting his own cup. ] To new experiences. At home, we'd say gānbēi.
no subject
Gānbēi.
[ and drinks. afterwards: ]
But if you've read stories, you've met lots of people like Aoi. Fictional characters.
no subject
her words are more bizarre than cute but with aoi you just kind of get used to that. ]
Oh? So, if that's the case, am I meeting something of a celebrity? I hadn't known. [ teasing! ]
no subject
Aoi wouldn't consider herself a celebrity. Visual novels are still very niche. Sometimes they take time to get a lot of attention.
