"What the... where the fuck are we?" Sorrow groaned, under the bright lights of the building. "Slazo, dude, wake up" he said, lightly nudging his friend. Slazo mumbled something unintelligible and slowly got up, squinting. "What's going on?"

"Beats me" Sorrow replied, looking around the room for any clues into what they had gotten themselves into. It seemed like some sort of cell, and they were locked in.

This was not great.

After a bit of waiting around in quiet confusion, a man in police uniform walked up to where they were being held. He seemed like he was trying to suppress a smirk when he finally spoke. "Good morning. Do either of you two know why you were brought here?"

"No idea. Please enlighten us, sir." Slazo said, a note of bitter sarcasm in his voice.

"You two were found passed out at a pub last night, and the owner of the place called us in to pick you up. You just spent the night in a drunk cell. Try to be a little more careful next time."

After signing some papers and taking a breathalyzer test to make sure they were sober, they were released back into the streets, walking in an awkward silence.

"... So now what?" Slazo asked, slowing down for a second.

"I don't know, I guess we could just walk around a bit?" Sorrow replied.


"Sounds good to me". Despite how exciting he assumed the night before must've been, he was ready for a bit calmer times. They found a nice-looking park, and spent the next few hours walking along the winding pathways and enjoying time outside in each other's company. Eventually they came to a small pond, and they sat down in the soft grass near it.

"Hey, so I remember the other day you said you'd thought about moving here?" This had been on Slazo's mind for a while. He loved the idea of having the brunette living near him, instead of just being able to visit once every couple years or so.

"Yeah, it'd be nice. I figured immigration would be a real pain in the ass, but it'd be worth it, though". Sorrow really did want to move there, but it'd take a lot of time and effort on top of all the work his videos took.

"Maybe you could get an apartment around here, or just move in with me." Slazo was willing to live with his friend full-time, but just living close to each other would probably be more convenient for the both of them.

"There's no way I'm living in your place forever" Sorrow laughed. "But yeah, I'll look into that. I'm glad I finally scheduled a flight, but it sucks that I only have two days left here."
