It's likely that several heads turned at Hinata's greeting. Tsuyo's glass lifts a bit before realizing she's not sure she knows the newcomer, another moment and she remembers the idol from the concert the other evening.
Slightly awkward after that almost-greeting-person-who-wasn't-talking-to-you moment, she offers the Unicorn a bow and reciprocates her introduction. "Pleased ta meet you, Ide-sama. Haven't run into too many Unicorn this season, Had a whole trade convoy through last summer though..." She pauses, awkwardly leans her cane against her leg with a softly metallic clink, and holds out her hand in a rather stiff fashion. "Sorry, I still don't quite have this right, do I?" she asks with a rueful grin.
Yamako smiles at the firefly. “No trouble Hotaru-san! I am glad to meet you! I have met several of your clan over the years and you are always a breath of fresh air.”
She lets the conversation swirl around her, enjoying the camaraderie.
(Ooc: sorry I was late to reply! Should be around more now!)

All the warning signs were missed, and his cat ears perked up with interest as he waited for his glass to be poured.
"So this is Rocket Fuel, Hotaru-samaaaaa?????"
Which Hotaru it was addressed to is left to the Hotaru to decide. Probably all of them.
"Sure is Ashaina-sama." Jun replied with a grin as he passed a cup to the Crane. "I like your ears by the way." They were kind of cute in a way. Maybe they'd go over well back home in antenna form? It was hard to say.
He managed to keep a straight face as the two ladies took their drinks, just managing it by distracting himself with filling his own cup. "Tastes jsut like home." The small samurai mused after taking a sip from his cup. "That was Hikari with the crackers." He said to Tsuyo. "She always manages to stick some in when we make a batch. Her favorite part of the flavor apparently."

Seika eyes Sakura as her new friend takes the plunge. It's... not as informative as she might have expected; she really can't tell whether Sakura's reaction means she's better off starting small or tossing it all back.
She shrugs and takes a large sip.
"Hnngmhmhmm..." Seika emits some muffled, slightly squeaky sounds. Roll it around your palate--Uncle Toi's directive for sampling his favorite 110-proof cask-aged shochu, the most challenging acquired taste in Seika's drinking experience to date--was maybe not such great advice here, actually.
Sakura managed to swallow hte last bits. "It's....I believe that this can power spaceships." She left it at that, still coughing. She eyed Seika, wondering about her rection.

She lifts her glass to Jun in acknowledgement before taking another sip. "That'll peel the paint off a panel easy," the test of a properly made batch. Still she watches the little Crane with his flattened cat ears in concern. Crane were known to be delicate.

Yamako is slightly concerned. She knows from experience that home brews have a distinct kick. She still can’t smell horse’s milk without wanting to vomit to this day. So she looks around the room and decides that discretion is the better part of valor and pours herself a small drink from the small bottle of expensive plum wine she brought.
“To broadening horizons.” And sips delicately.

Jun eyed Hinata for a few moments. He hadn't fallen over so he'd likely be alright, the slight Crane would just have to finish rocessing things, Rocket fuel could do that too you though. Yamako's toast brought Jun from his thoughts though and he turned towards the small Unicorn.
"To Broadening Horizons." He raised his glass. "Kampai." And finished it. After refilling his cup with more Roccket fuel he nodded towards Tsuyo. "Sure will, does a decent job as a degreaser too. Not that I like to waste it like that though."

Hinata just remained staring wide eyed into space as he tried to get some form of breathe back. The ears went up once before flattening back and he started coughing . . . so at least he wasn't dead . . .
The coughing and wheezing went on for some time before he got any voice back.

She raised her glass and finished it as well, though she was grateful she wasn't drinking whatever the Asahina had. She moved over towards them after pouring a cup of water. "If you need to go vomit, I won't judge you. If not, I recommend some water."

“No trouble Asahina-San. I would advise caution with drinking anything other than water for the next hour til you feel the effects. Either that or asking everyone to give up their comms and any video recording devices….just in case obviously.”

“I remember the first time I had fermented mare’s milk. I thought something had gone wrong in the fermentation process but no, that’s how it’s supposed to taste.”
She shudders. “Plum wine?” She offers, gesturing to the bottle she brought. “Or water? Water might be better.”

It takes Seika a while to pronounce any sort of evaluation to satisfy Sakura's curiosity, because swallowing that first mouthful of rocket fuel is... a process. It's not that she doesn't want to, but her tongue is having other ideas, and they have to hash out their differences properly first.
She takes another sip... also a process, but a quicker one. Partly because she doesn't make the mistake of letting the stuff linger in her mouth.
She clears her throat and pronounces, not quite believing herself, "I think... I might actually kinda like it?"
A concerned glance at Hinata follows. If the iron-stomached little Crane can't stomach this, does it mean that Seika has even worse taste than she's been accused of in the past? Or does it just mean that she's a total badass, wooo!?

Jun had watched Hinata with a bit of concern, but Yamako seemed to have it well in hand, and the Crane was recovering. " We got some snacks too if he wants some." He did offer helpfully. "There is always room service too if it needed." Jun did manage not to turn towards Seika and wink at that statement.
As Seika's statement he did offer her a grin though. "Some might question your sanity there, Yoritomo-sama. I'm not one of them though. I might just be a bit impressed honestly."

"Oh I think I'm good now. If the Nightshade sauce at the KFC can't get me then neither will this . . . except I wouldn't mind more Nightshade sauce, maybe."
What's this? Common sense? Really?
"I think I'll stick to water, Ide-samaaa."

“Wise. Let your body adapt.” She watches in mild horror as Sakura’s face does things she is sure will haunt her later. “Is…is this safe to drink Hotaru-San?”

"I've been drinking it for years." Jun replied with a bit of amusement in his tone. "Tsuyo-san too." He motioned in the direction of the artist. Whether or not that would mean it was safe or not was another story altogether though.
He observed Sakura for a few moments, she'd be fine.... probably. "It just takes some getting used to."
"Got plenty of other stuff too though." He offered with a motion towards the table and it's various bottles. "Which might be easier on the palate, and on your head in the morning."
