Oh really? Has your speech always been so sloppy, then?
[Mephisto got drunk in a pretty specific way... unless he was completely smashed, only his body really got drunk, making it hard to move and walk around. But just talking to him, you'd never guess. He might be a little more reactive right now -- but that wasn't that out of the ordinary for him.]
[Well, it wasn't like she really ever bothered to keep up any sort of pretense in his presence...]
Toldya before, we gotta have something ta judge. We can... damn, we need someone else to judge how straight we're walkin'... Nyeheh, mebbe race or somethin'?
[He'll cheat no matter what, but she at least had an advantage there by the look of him right now.]
You better not use any of your powers to cheat, 'kay?
[Not like that would stop him. Even if he was limited, in his state he might somewhere teleport into a wall, and that sounded like that would hurt. She holds up a hand, three fingers raised.]
On the count of three, righ'? One, two--three
[So, she didn't say anything about cheating herself, since she's taking off from the count of two. But she should really have been more careful. Mephisto's in her way, and shoving past him might not have been an issue sober, but he's still very solid, and ramming her shoulder into him as tries to overtake him does not have the desired effect of pushing him out of the way. No, far from it, since she's finding herself falling back towards the floor. Mayve he grabbed her on reflex, maybe she slipped on a puddle or something. Whatever happened, this was not a graceful fall.]
[So says the guy who cheated the last time he challenged someone to a race smh... but okay, he scrambles a little when she takes off first, jumping up despite his dizziness to get though the door before she does. His legs are a lot longer than hers, he can do this...!]
[Until he gets shoved, suddenly finding the world spinning significantly more than it was before. And so he reaches out for something to get his balance back -- only to find that something is a someone, and she's no more steady than he is! And so they both fall, Mephisto flat on his back and Shura right on top of him--]
[Which would be just lovely any other day, but in the struggle, she knees him right in the junk.]
[Of course she's going to struggle on the way down, she's not stupid. She still had a race to win! So when her knee slams right on up between his legs, she doesn't think much about it. Not until she realizes he's not moving like he should be under her, and that's awfully suspicious, all considering. Last time she was on top of him like this, he had something to say about it, but not now?
Fine, she can spare a quick look down. No blood on the floor, so why this reaction... oh. Shura coughs, pulling her knee away as she realizes its position relative to Mephisto's junk. Should she feel bad?]
S'fine, right? You probably weren't using that for anything, anyway.
--it's been getting plenty of use, I'll have you know!!
[He says, speaking two octaves higher than usual... also TMI!!!]
[He's going to try and push her off, which... might be a bit more forceful than usual, since he does still have that ridiculous demon strength on his side, and he'd really like to be sitting in a fetal position right now!!]
[...but, given their proximity, that means he pretty much just punched her in the boob to get her off of him.]
[PLEASE NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it has Shura gagging. Or at least trying to gag, since she's suddenly getting punched in the tit by a stupid demon king. It's plenty of force to send her sprawling back on her ass, coughing and clutching at herself.]
Ow!
[Wheeze wheeze, hack hack. She was going to get off of him after a second?? No need to be rude like that! If it leaves a bruise, she's going to be so pissed.]
Oi, bastard, you don't gotta be that rough!
[She's human and doesn't have that entire healing factor anymore, okay??]
[THIS IS WHAT SHE GETS FOR TEASING INSTEAD OF MOVING get rekt Shura]
[The moment she's off, he rolls pathetically on to his side, suddenly dealing with varying degrees of pain and dizziness -- none of it pleasant. Who knew taking down a demon king would be so easy??]
You started it by shoving me! And to think-- you cheated after making a point to tell me not to! Which one of us here is supposed to be a demon!?
[--oops he'll make himself sad if he thinks about that question too hard.]
[What else was she supposed to do?? She gingerly rubs at her collar, trying to get a good look at herself. Red... just stay red and then calm down overnight. It'd all be okay, she wouldn't have to explain it to Rin later. It'd all be good.]
Cuz I thought y'were gonna cheat no matter wha' I said!
[Because he was a demon?? Come on, she knows how this goes!! Besides, she didn't say that shoving was cheating.]
If y'were more sober than me, than I shouldna been able t'knock you over so easy!
[Back to the point, he was more drunk than her, this proves it.]
Well, maybe if you had been a little observant at the Christmas Party, you'd already know I can't hold my liquor!
[YEAH OKAY HE ADMITS IT. Since he notably did not stand up again after a few cups of sake back then, instead poofing himself back home while Lightning snickered and grinned about it... since obviously Mr. Let's-be-friends-with-demons would know what a drunk demon looks like.]
[He finally pulls himself back up, standing with a bit of a wince. Maybe it's the pain affording him a moment of clarity, but-- this is pretty stupid, huh. And things probably aren't going to get any better the longer they're around one another while drunk, so--]
[He turns, waving a hand dismissively as he starts ambling down the hall in the opposite direction.]
I'm going to go find somewhere to sober up... do what you want.
Though Shura can't brag about her own tolerance, at least she didn't try faking being cool!! But she won't say anything as he drags himself up from the floor, only scowling down at her chest. It's for the best he's leaving, anyway. It wasn't like they got along well when they weren't purely doing business together. She just wants to sober up and get some ice for the bruise.
But she will flip him the bird once his back is to her. Cause she's going to get the last word in this!!]

[SERIOUSLY, after so many years, he should know this??]
And I ain't gonna walk jus' cause you said ta'! You said it'd be obvious who was more sober, and I'm pretty sure it's clear!

How about first one to the cafeteria down the hall wins!
