Bachelor party time!

Ryuuji took a final glance at the portal. It led straight into the bar that had been hired for the afternoon, and the transportation circle glowed a bright, clear blue at about waist-height for an average man.

The bar itself was a decent-sized one, cozy enough the small group wouldn't feel lost but big enough to allow the rotund Professor Homsar to manuver easily. The barkeeper had been dismissed for the afternoon and ECR was already stockpiled on the tables, along with snacks for the hungry men.

Just in case Professor Homsar couldn't make it, Ryuuji had also hired strippers of both genders to show up and wait behind the stage, discreely out of view of the partyers. He'd also provided them with animal (aardavark, bunny, frog, crocodile and barnacle) costumes, just in case. Finding a barnacle costume had been rather difficult, so Ryuuji had simply had one custom-designed in the end.

In other words, the party was ready to go, and all it needed was the man of the night to start off.

Simon could take care of sheparding the attendents to the party; Ryuuji had come to pick up Stephen.

Stephen knew there was going to be something termed a bachelor party, and that this was a traditional thing. Beyond that, he had not the slightest idea what was in store, and was blithely writing some speculations about the possibility of evil clowns being monotremes when Ryuuji arrived at his office. "Time already, then?" He got up from his desk and retrieved his coat, much less hideous than other coats he had been known to wear, but nothing particularly fashionable either.

"Yup! Let's--" Ryuuji tried not to wince at the sight of the coat. "Go."

Maybe he should get Stephen some new clothing to go with the chinaware he'd bought as the wedding gift (blue and green patterned, of course). Then again, considering his taste in clothing, Stephen would probably never wear it. Unless River talked him into it, and even that was doubtful.

Why was the world so cruel?

"Lead on," said Stephen cheerily. The portal itself was not as disconcerting as Stephen had expected. Not much different than Apparation, really, which Stephen had finally learned by auditing the Robot Devil's most recent class (not recent at all). Nor did the bar look in any way objectionable.

Yet.

"Awesome." Ryuuji would have suggested blindfolding Stephen, leading him, getting him to sit down and then having Homsar do a lapdance but, well, this was Stephen. Blindfolding probably wasn't something he'd agree to.

There was already someone there, his erstwhile opponent for the Slytherin race, no less! Still, Ryuuji gave him a cheerful wave and tilted his head at Stephen, "Hey, let's go sit down? It looks like the others aren't quite here yet."
