mariko holds vara's hands as she kisses her. it feels relaxing and oddly right. " thank you so much vara.you always know just what i need to hear. it is kind of a shame the cards fell as they did." mariko says softly. before drinking more.

"um...that was the liquor talking" mariko's eyes dart around. "i am drunker than a leprechaun at a wake." mariko laughs nervously " yeah, you and trent are just perfect.it would be awful for that not to exist in the world." mariko says,realizing just what a vara and mariko world would be.a world she wouldnt like. vara and trent are perfect. "your logic is.....solid." mariko says,putting her hands on vara's knees and kissing her lips lightly. if this were a movie,thunder would crash and a devil would poke mariko in the ass.

mariko lets out an "eep!" and jumps about 5 feet away from vara. burying her face in her drink. "oh hi,trent." she says innocently.

mariko smiles up at trent. she is drunk as fuck." its been waaay too long. that project with zander? right fucking on!" she laughs. " we have just been drinking and chatting. how have you been?" mariko asks.

"I'm super," he says back, grinning. "You were talking about me?" he asks. "Nothing bad I hope?"

mariko runs a hand through her hair. she feels very awkward around trent and vara. "always good,mr trent." she says,guzzling her drink. "i should leave you lovebirds alone. " she says,slightly nervous and wanting to get as far away as possible.

"Bye, Mariko," Trent says, waving a little. "Is she okay?" he asks Vara, leaning in close to whisper in her ear.

mariko hugs vara and then trent. "i love you both.i'll call you later,vara...." she says as happily as she can. did trent know? was he ok with it? " she gives one more hug and is out the the door.

Vara gives Trent a little smile and shakes her head. "You're not a horrible boyfriend. I've been a bad girlfriend, too. I went off on tour without you... If it makes it any easier, I had a horrible time on tour. And I'm suing somebody. Just so you know." She laughs and winks. She eyes the flask for a moment and then takes it from him, taking a long swig from it. "I shouldn't be drinking anymore - I've had about eight drinks already - but I'm a sucker for absinthe."

Vara giggles and wraps her arms around Trent, giving him another quick kiss. "Deal. I promise I won't struggle too much." She winks, and grabs his flask, taking another quick swig. When he asks who she's suing, she rolls her eyes and laughs. "We really need to invest in texting or something. We need to talk about this shit," she says with a smirk. "A girl attacked me on tour. One of my tourmates, her name was Yasmine. She's being sued now for all that she's worth... which isn't a lot, but I'm going to take all of it."
