[complete] baa baa sheep god have you any booze?

[stumblingewe]

Who: Kasugami, England, Prussia
When: Backdate to the afternoon of July 31st
Where: housing, navy district, unit 5
What: Kasugami, having lost her godhood upon arrival, decides to drink all of the nations' booze while they're at the tailor's. THIS IS A LOGICAL CHOICE OF ACTION.
Warnings: Alcoholics. All three characters involved are their own warnings.

The moment Kasugami had woken up, she knew things were off when she noticed she had no hangover. Staring blearily around the room, her ears flicked to pin to her head before she rolled off her side and to her hooves. She hopped down from what she assumed was a foreign bed--turning to look at it properly, it appeared she was correct--then went about inspecting the room she was in. Something was dampening her godhood, though the room had nothing on the gourd she'd been trapped in until Amaterasu's revival. Here and there, she bumped her muzzle into things, sniffing and tasting and pushing them to see what they did. At some point or another, she knocked into the table that held the communication compact and letter from the Rulers. Rather than trying to stop it from toppling over, she looked on passively and followed after the clattering device to discover the note.

The Black Sheep? Lady Amalthea? The Phoenix? Well then, it certainly seemed she was even farther from the Celestial Plain than she originally thought. It looked like she wasn't even in Nippon, at this point. Perhaps a foreign country? Was she summoned here?

Well, no other way to find out than to poke around the rest of the building.

It took a few tries to get out of the room--with a loss of godhood, she also couldn't take a form with hands, Orochi be damned--but she finally managed it. Whatever housemates she apparently had seemed to be gone, so she took advantage of the silent household to investigate at her leisure.

This resulted in her finding the alcohol, and her ears shot up. "Can't think like this, after all. They won't mind if I have a little sip~" she hummed, and went about the task of actually opening the bottles. Unlike dealing with doors, this she could do with her eyes closed.

By the time England and Prussia returned to the house, they'd discover a large ewe tipping her head back to chug down a bottle of beer, various empty bottles scattered around her.

Comments

"...I don't know why my clothes are so plain," said England as he stared at the garments he got from the tailor. Everything was white, except for the gloves and boots (those were a smoky gray color), and the cape was shimmering. Compared to Prussia's robes, he felt his outfit was inferior. At least it fit well, looked a lot like what he used to wear when he was younger. Except it was white.

The unicorn must have been white, which was not uncommon for unicorns. So England could understand why he was given these clothes a little. That still didn't mean he liked it. He felt like a ghost. At least it was better than having no clothes at all. He walked beside his companion through the Navy district, back to their house.

[awesomemich]

Unlike England, his clothes could be described as anything but plain. In fact, they seemed fit for royalty...Chinese royalty, but royalty none the less. "Kesesesese~" he slammed a hand on England's back laughing.

His laughter stopped, though, upon opening the door and being greeted by the odd sight of a sheep drinking all of their beer.

[stumblingewe]

Hearing the door open, and discovering the two men standing in the doorway, said sheep turned and looked at them with the bottle in her mouth. Considering them for a moment, ears flicking up towards them, Kasugami took a moment to duck her head so that the bottle could be set safely on the floor, rather than being dropped and making a mess.

She took in their wardrobes, and would've raised a brow if she could. Neither of them looked very much like a lady, although the paler one did have a sort of oriental flare to him. Maybe he was the Phoenix. "Afternoon."

[unionjackoff]

England's eye twitched at the sight. Since he and Prussia had learned how to create things in this world, their house had started being decorated and furnished to their desires. But their pride and joy was the beer. With beer, they could relax and get good rest while plotting their escape. Alcohol was very important!

And here this little beast was, pilfering their drinks and making a mess of everything. England's first instinct was to shoo her away. But then she had to go and talk, which made England love her instantly.

He crouched down on the floor, in his new white clothes, and reached out his hand. "Hello, there, sheep! Are you lost?"

[awesomemich]

Prussia's first instinct was to cheer the sheep on, they could always get more beer, after all. But when the sheep started talking, well, that's when things got weird. "The sheep just talked..." it would be easy just to dismiss it as magic, but this was a talking sheep.

[stumblingewe]

Kasu looked down at the hand that was extended towards her, ears flicking again before she stepped in closer so that she was within reach of the nation. However, instead of letting him pet her right off the bat, she raised a hoof to place into his hand for shaking. "You could say that, if you count getting displaced from ones home as 'lost.'"

She glanced between the two of them, letting out an amused snort that lacked the typical purple fog she usually expelled. "Usually I can do more than talk."

[unionjackoff]

England was absolutely delighted. He shook the sheep's hoof and then turned to give Prussia a flat look, as though he were telling him not to be rude. "That's alright. We can usually do more, as well." He turned back to her and released her hoof. "My name is England. I suppose you'll be staying with us?" Animals that talked were not a problem to him. In fact, he almost always spoke to animals. They listened to him and didn't judge him when he needed to cry.

[awesomemich]

Prussia sighed, well, if the forces here could turn him into a wooden puppet, then he supposed they could make talking sheep. "Mein name ist Preußen," he said, sitting down and grabbing one of the unopened bottles. "Was ist your's?" England wanted him to be polite, he would be more awesomely polite than England.

[stumblingewe]

Observing the exchange between the two of them, Kasugami huffed out another little snort and resettled to all fours once England released her hoof. With a slight incline of her head as Prussia came closer, she shook her wool out a little before doing the closest thing to a shrug that a sheep could accomplish. "I suppose so, if you two are an Amalthea and Phoenix."

Prussia's language was strange to her, but she had heard far stranger in her life, and it wasn't as if it was difficult to figure out what he was saying. "Kasugami."

[unionjackoff]

England made himself more comfortable on the floor, silently approving of Prussia for not freaking out. "That's us! I prefer to be called the Unicorn." Lady or not, England respected unicorns. They were his favorite beast.

[awesomemich]

"Ja, awesome bird right here!" He pointed at himself before opening the bottle and started drinking. He would be a bit more sociable once he had some beer in him.

[stumblingewe]

For a moment, she stared at them both with what could've been consideration. "Unicorn?" she went ahead and asked, not quite making the connection between the European unicorn and the Japanese kirin. But the phoenix she knew well, and her attention went to Prussia afterwards as she settled on her haunches, then tucked her forelegs under her chest to lay for the time being.

"One of my brothers is a phoenix."

[unionjackoff]

"How is that possible?" England asked, tilting his head. "A phoenix and a sheep related..."

[awesomemich]

He nodded to England's question, that was weird. "Und, who are you supposed to be replacing?" What could a sheep replace?

[stumblingewe]

Kasugami did yet another shrug-shift, less effective when she was laying down. She wasn't about to go around telling people she was a god. "We fall in line with the zodiac. Technically he would be the rooster."

Her attention shifted to the second question from Prussia. "The Black Sheep, apparently."

[unionjackoff]

The Black Sheep! How appropriate. England held himself back from petting her because she was so cute and soft-looking. "I haven't seen any sheep drink beer before! So I guess it's a good fit!"

[awesomemich]

Prussia drank the beer for a moment, "Zodiac?" He was trying to reconcile his image of a phoenix with a rooster...and it wasn't working.

[stumblingewe]

"I guess a lot of people wouldn't, but I do it often. One of my... missing possessions is a gourd full of sake." Her ears flicked, and she craned to the side to get one of the bottles of beer. It took a little maneuvering, but she managed to get the cap off with her teeth. It skittered across the floor as she spat it out, and she tipped her head back to take a drink before setting the bottle down carefully.

"Zodiac, including the cat. Poor little Kabe, being left out in most renditions."

[unionjackoff]

A talking, drinking sheep. It was rather extraordinary. He decided to have a beer, too, since everyone else was. They could make more later, thank goodness. An endless supply of beer.

"What's a zodiac?" he asked, adding to Prussia's question. He'd never heard of such a thing before.

[awesomemich]

"Was sake?" he was more interested in alcohol. He finished off the bottle and grabbed another one.

[stumblingewe]

"It's a rice brew," she explained first, since that was the easiest. Bumping her muzzle thoughtfully against the bottle in front of her, she snagged it before it toppled over and took another drink.

"The zodiac... it's a twelve-year cycle, with an animal attributed to each year. My brothers, sisters, and mother all correspond to these animals. There are nineteen of us in all, including Baku's piglets."

[unionjackoff]

A rice brew? England wanted to try it. Maybe they could try making it. But he was more interested in the zodiac right now. He leaned in towards Prussia slightly, relaxed from the beer.

"It sounds like a calender..."

[awesomemich]

Rice brew sounded interesting. He looked over at England when he leaned closer and blushed slightly. A moment later he grinned and pulled England against him, laughing. He'll let England take care of the conversation for the most part, since England knew how to talk to animals.

[stumblingewe]

The moment she knew about the ability to imagine things up, Kasugami would fill a good portion of the booze storage with sake. But oh, if only she could have her gourd... At the very least, that would have been good to have. Watching the two of them get comfortable, she knocked back the rest of her beer before rolling the bottle away.

"Technically, except with years instead of months. People say that those born in a certain year will have attributes associated with the assigned animal. The mouse, for example, can be tenacious, intense, meticulous, charismatic, yet vindictive, self-destructive, critical, over-ambitious..."

[unionjackoff]

England was perfectly fine with leading the conversation. He was also okay with being close to Prussia. They were allies right now, technically married. He would never say that out loud, though, unless it was to another country.

"That sounds familiar, somehow." Though England couldn't remember from where. "Would you happen to be from one of the Asian countries?" With a name like Kasugami, England supposed she might be.

[awesomemich]

It did sound familiar, and not in an all good way. But he decided to dismiss the unfavorable comparisons his mind thought up by drinking more beer. He nods to England's question as he tips the bottle into his mouth, that sounded logical.

[stumblingewe]

Kasugami blinked at the two of them, ears pricked up almost thoughtfully. Technically she was from the Celestial Plain, but that wasn't something two strangers needed to know. Besides, she wasn't sure what disbelief would do to her in her current state. "I come from Nippon."

[unionjackoff]

Nippon also sounded familiar. England did not know where it was, though. He looked at Prussia to see if he knew, shrugging.

[awesomemich]

He didn't know where Nippon was either. "Where's that?" It didn't even sound familiar to him, but then again, he doesn't have a good relationship with any Asian countries.

[stumblingewe]

She shrugged at the two of them again. "We didn't have good contact with the outside world, so I couldn't say where it was in comparison to anything else." Her focus was always on the people of the country, though she was sure another god could answer these questions. Perhaps Yomi, the bookworm of a dragon that he was.

[unionjackoff]

England supposed that it did not matter, at least not now. As long as they all got along and focused on breaking out of here, things would work out between them. Again, England had to remind himself not to pet Kasugami. He did not want to patronize or devalue her, especially since she seemed rather intelligent.

"Now you're seeing more of the outside world than you ever wanted, eh?"

[awesomemich]

Prussia snorts, "Outside world...depends, if you mean you and ich, ja, outside world. Or do you mean was out there." He gestures wildly at the door, spilling a bit of beer.

[stumblingewe]

"These doors and I aren't on very good speaking terms currently," she offered, with quite a bit of dry humor for a livestock animal. She stretched her forelegs out a bit, eyes trained on the doorknob of one of the doors, narrowed a little at it. "So, yeah. This is about as 'outside world' as I've gotten so far."

[unionjackoff]

How could one be on speaking terms with doors, let alone bad speaking terms? England leaned his head on Prussia's shoulder, watching the sheep with curious eyes. "You must come from a very strange place. Brothers and sisters who are all different animals, and parts of calendars..."

[awesomemich]

"And talking doors," he added in a complete deadpan. Maybe they could imagine replacements for the doors with curtains or something. He would bring it up if England didn't think of it.

[stumblingewe]

The wish to be able to raise an eyebrow at the two of them returned, though Kasugami didn't explain that it was a joke and she was simply having difficulties using the foreign doors. "Sliding doors were always much more cooperative," she said instead, but let out a thoughtful bleat. "I imagine your home is just as weird to me as Nippon is to you."

[unionjackoff]

"That's probably true," England replied, covering his mouth as he yawned. It was only morning and he was already tired. Must have been the beer. Kasugami hadn't said anything about England's and Prussia's names, so she most likely wasn't from the same earth.

[awesomemich]

"Sliding doors?" he's never heard of such a thing. He let out a yawn, damn he wished he was still a nation. His awesome ability to hold his liquor was gone.

[stumblingewe]

"Sliding doors. They're set in tracks, and instead of those turny handle things and the hinges, they just. Roll right open." Joining the slew of yawns, she ducked her head so that part of her nose was hidden in her wool as she let out a tired bleat.

[unionjackoff]

"That sounds quite useful," said England as he closed his eyes. Apparently, he'd started a chain reaction without meaning to. He was usually able to hold his liquor a lot longer, and Prussia, too, but now it was making him exhausted. There were so many things wrong with being human. He nuzzled Prussia's shoulder tiredly.

[awesomemich]

Yes, it was all England's fault. He laid down, his head falling onto Kasugami's body. He hoped she didn't mind, but she was so soft. He picked up the beer and drank down another mouthful.

[stumblingewe]

Letting out a faintly surprised little bleat, Kasugami looked down at Prussia before her body shifted a little. Her legs tucked up under her again, and she rested her head on the floor. She'd slept in weirder places before, so the floor of a foreign household with two strange men wasn't exactly out of the norm for her.

She'd been alive for hundreds of years, and gotten smashed for most of them, after all. But back then, she could drink five times her weight in alcohol and be fine. Now? Not so much.

[unionjackoff]

England wasn't expecting Prussia to fall! But he landed easily enough with his head on Prussia's chest. It were as though the three of them had all been given some kind of sleep-aid. At least they all knew they would get along. England would not bombard the sheep with questions unless she asked more about who they were.

He snuggled Prussia's chest and fell into a deep, alcohol-induced sleep.

[awesomemich]

He wrapped his arms around England as though it was the most natural thing in the world. And snuggled back into the sheep a little, closing his eyes. He could get used to a talking sheep, especially one that could drink as much as him. His last thought as he fell asleep was one of being drunk under the table by a sheep.
