>Stare as she keeps downing them.. "Well, at least you're Immortal.."
>Beat.
>"That reminds me, before you get too drunk, would you mind explaining to them why you're Immortal? I thought that it would be best coming from you."
Mokou pauses as she's about to take her third drink. "Oh, right, that. Now that's an old story." She sighs, setting the drink down, and leans forward to the three of them. (I imagine you and Mokou on one side, and the three youkai on the other, but that's just me)
"A long time ago, over 1000 years I think, I was actually just an ordinary human. Noble, if you can believe it," she barks out a quick laugh before continuing, "and my father, a pretty high up there aristocrat, proposed marriage to what he described as a 'commoner of great beauty and elegance'. She, well, refused. At the time, a commoner refusing to marry an aristocrat was pretty much the biggest insult you could give, and I swore eternal revenge on her." She gives another small laugh. "I didn't know at the time just how long eternity would be."
"Well, I didn't know at the time why she had it, but turns out this commoner had an elixir of immortality that she was planning on giving to the Emperor of the time. In my need for revenge, I did something I probably shouldn't have: I stole the elixir and drank it myself. That commoner wasn't lying, and that elixir of immortality removed me from the path of life and death." Then she gives a small grin. "Of course the commoner in question was Kaguya Houraisan, and it's pretty obvious now why she had elixirs of immortality running about."
Neneru, who's been listening intently the whole time, blurts out "Why's that obvious? I don't see it."
