voice; "oh in my agony i do retreat"
-The first sound anyone hears is some kind of fluid sloshing about in a container, the distinct hollow "pop" of a cork being removed, and several long, thick gulps. This is quickly followed by a sigh, a clearing of the throat, and smacking of the lips...
When Baiken speaks, her words are pretty badly slurred. She's been at it for a bit.-
I haven't dressed nice in goddamn *years*... If I wasn't interested in meeting this so called Empress myself, I wouldn't normally give a shit if some bouncer enforcing a dress code showed me out. I've never given a shit before.
But I'm being told it's required. Because of course it is. The rich and powerful are always like that, enforcing their rules and standards of conduct on people as a means of excising their own power.
You'll dress how I tell you to dress. You'll speak how I tell you to speak. If you don't, you're "uncivilized". But make no mistake, you can put a pretty bow on the common masses and they'll still look down on you. Tch...
-Another several gulps. Another cough. Another sigh.-
Whatever. We're either gonna be arrested as soon as we show up and treated like enemies of the state, used for political posturing, or both. And if we don't show up, they'll find a way to get us to show up. People like that always do.
... I need more sake...
-The voice feed cuts off at that point.-

Amanda makes her way over pretty casually, but she's actually a smidge intimidated, both by the Brooding Baiken Corner and by her alcohol consumption. Amanda's just an underage rapscallion back home, she hasn't had time to get deep into alcohol tolerance. ]
Man, you really need someone to drink with.
