#sazuka

Every year, my entire family gets together and I have a really big family. (My mom is one of eleven siblings. So holidays are crowded.) Every year, more than anything, I dread the eggnog. Because it's tradition for everyone (within reason) to have one glass and IT'S SO GROSS OHMYGOD WHY IS EGGNOG A THING?! *ahem* Some of these might possibly be based on various family members. If you see one and want to know if it's a real thing I've witnessed, please ask! I love telling weird family stories.

For the purposes of this ask: the humans are drinking regular eggnog and the demons got a little something extra in their cups to give it a little more kick.

Kurama: The Deep Thinker

Once Kurama crosses the line between tipsy and drunk, he can be found moving from person to person and engaging in really deep conversations. At least, they appear deep because Kurama is 100% serious about how aesthetically pleasing your scarf is against your sweater and have you ever realized that scarves are just like mittens for your neck? At the end of the night, you can find him sitting on the floor deep in conversation with a cactus that was a lot smaller earlier that day.

Genkai: Ninja Ghost

She was pregaming before everyone else woke up that day because she was not dealing with a house full of morons even a little bit sober, and she retreated to high ground right after the party started. No one is really sure where she is, but every now and then someone gets hit in the head by an empty bottle while laughter sounds from above.

Hiei: Dazed and Confused

He looks totally unaffected at first, but when it does hit it hits HARD. Kuwabara is convinced that Hiei's been possessed at first, because he just sits on the table staring at all the blinking lights. When he finally does move, it's to follow a tipsy Kurama around and wonder aloud about the state of his derriere. After the sixth time Hiei yells, "Where is your ass, Kurama?!" he finally gets an answer. Kurama drinks the eggnog that'll tip him from tipsy to drunk and ends Hiei's confused questioning by telling him, "You can't see my ass because you're not worthy."

Yukina: Giggle Thunder

She's the one listening to everyone else, and she just can't stop laughing. Her hands are clapped over her mouth, but the giggles are still getting through. Her face is red, her eyes are watering, and she's doubled over laughing so much that she now has a very defined six pack. Her giggles are infectious. Anyone sitting in close proximity will get swept up into the storm and will be unable to stop laughing until they're in physical pain.

Yusuke: Ultimate Hype

The eggnog only brings out the most basic parts of his personality. Usually, this just means that he's really loud and probably stirring up trouble. He's yelling for people to take MORE shots, he's making Yukina laugh until she nearly passes out, and he joins conversations just long enough to shout something that'll get the others into a debate. (Or a fight)

Keiko: Droppin' It Low

Move out of the way, everybody! When she starts drinking, she just wants to dance. She'll start off kinda shy and will only dance with Yusuke. After some eggnog, she's gonna get down. Everyone and everything becomes a dance partner, and she's pulling off moves that mere mortals only wish they could do. (At some point, Yusuke may or may not throw some money around.)

Kuwabara: The Octopus

He's a big guy, right? So it should take a while before his inhibitions get lowered, yeah? Wrong! After two glasses, he's feeling awesome and floaty. A few drinks after that, he grows extra arms and has to hug everyone and tell them how amazing they are while petting their hair. If you stand still for more than ten seconds, he will attach himself to you and possibly start serenading.

Shizuru: Fight Me

Seeing her a little tipsy is magical. She talks and laughs freely, is more openly affectionate, and is a great listener. Once that eggnog really hits though, she's ready to fight. She doesn't get angry. She just wants to have a good time while also punching someone in the face. Surprisingly, this is how the majority of her friendships start.

Koenma: The Wanderer

At the beginning of the party, he's enjoying himself with everyone else. After things start getting crazy, he completely disappears. Poof! Don't worry though. He'll be back the next morning to check on everyone's hangovers. He'll also be wearing a feather boa, one handcuff, and a top hat.

Botan: Hot Damn

It was pretty cool at the start of the party, possibly chilly, but don't you think it's getting a little hot in here? After every drink, she loses another article of clothing. It starts off simple, with her shoes kicked off and her jacket lost somewhere. By the end of the night, her shirt is somehow on the roof.

BONUS

Hokushin: Pokerface Master

The whole night, he looks exactly the same. No dark cheeks from his body burning up the eggnog or from laughing. The only person at the party that cops wouldn't arrest on sight. No one thought it was possible to tell when he was drunk, until Yusuke loudly whispered to Kuwabara about how he thought Hokushin really needed a hug. He didn't move, but his neck stretched all the way across the room so that he could headbutt Yusuke. Everyone realized how far gone Hokushin was when it took ten solid minutes for him to pull his head back.

Chu: Den Mother

Funnily enough, he's the most sober of the whole bunch. He likes the taste of eggnog, but he's totally immune to it. He spends the whole night making sure that no one gets killed and sneaks Rinku in so he can take pictures for possible blackmail.

Jin: The Streaker

He's already so bubbly and loud that there isn't really that much of a difference. There comes a time though, when he's perfectly sloshed, that something magical happens. His clothes become invisible and he has to run! Then he has to fly! (Chu gathers him up after he passes out on a tree, and after he takes a picture.)

Touya: The Chemist

Hands-down, the best bartender that any party could hope for. He knows how to mix drinks so that they taste delicious and have a max amount of the giggle juice. Be careful though, his drinks are always strong so try to go slow. Can be found at the end of the night curled up in the bathtub and hugging the blender.

Sazuka: Karaoke King

Listen, karaoke is no joke. He's the one who suggests karaoke, sets it up, and then kicks it off. Everyone joins in because karaoke is irresistible, and the song choices get weirder and dirtier as the night goes on. When Sazuka wins, he wears Botan's scarf tied around his head as a crown.

Shishi: Sneaky Lil Imp

He shrinks down to his imp form, grabs the biggest bottle he can find, and then disappears. He's actually hanging out with Genkai and playing cards in the rafters. The winner of each hand gets to choose who they throw their empty bottles at. Oh, and he handles all of Genkai's refills. Will wake up the next morning in the kitchen sink after sleeping on a very large rubber duck with no memory of how he got there. (Genkai is how he got there, because no one outdrinks the master.)
