Moka was wearing a black acromentula silk frilly dress, it suited the Rosario that hung everpresent around her neck, especially since she was a vampire. She also managed to get Nerissa to wear one, the vampiress reluctantly wearing a long-sleeved dress that clung to her body... The only thing missing for the two now is the black makeup, unfortunately Reima had forbidden Nerissa from ever wearing that for some reason...
Yukari wasn't faring any better for Reima's wallet, the girl having bought heavily enchanted grey robes that the Pyromancers usually wear, electing to wear a large hat based off of Logan's instead of pulling up the hood. It was scaled down to fit her better, but it still looked ridiculously huge atop her head.
Mizore had picked up some teal coloured jumpers that were actually meant for Snow Monsters, and regulated the temperature of the wearer automatically, allowing her to not have to suck lollipops all day... Though, she continued because she "Liked the taste"...
It was approaching evening after all the shopping they'd done, stopping by a restaurant and having a huge meal, obviously paid for by Reima...
Once they left they were attracted by the sound of laughter, eventually entering the Papyrus and Toriel Comedy Club. The place was booked, almost ever seat filled as hundreds of people watched San's on stage giving his usual introduction.
Nerissa sniffs the air and looks over, spotting Reima, Kuretz, Arie, Eingyi, and Solaire all sitting on the same table with drinks already in-front of them.
She walks over with the others following, standing next to Reima and leaning her head on his shoulder.
Reima "Rissa? You guys enjoying your time here then?" he asks with a smile.
Solaire "Are these your new har-"
Arie punches him in the arm, "Don't go there Solaire, I've made the same mistake so you don't have to." he says ominously.
Kuretz "Still, what's it with you and beautiful women?" he asks, causing the girls to blush.
Reima "I don't know Kuretz, what's up with you and no women?" he asks sarcastically.
Kuretz slams his drink on the table, "Don't go there harem boy! Only the other men in this city could understand my woes!"
Solaire leans his head to the side, "Perhaps I could help you my friend?"
Kuretz drops his head to the table, "No... Just enjoy your time with Risryn." he mutters in a downtrodden voice.
Eingyi puts his hand on Kuretz shoulder, "Don't worry Sir Kuretz... I am also scorned by all the women I know, the mistresses don't allow such feelings..." he says, causing Kuretz to silently sob.
Reima looks back and realises all of the tables are full, giving a sigh and extending his own table with magic while conjuring some chairs. "There, don't ask for drinks because you're too young for that." he states, not minding he was drinking at their age.
Arie "Whaddya mean? They look like adults... Apart from that one." he says pointing at Yukari.
*Bonk!*
A large pan falls from the roof and onto Arie's head, knocking him backwards off of his chair.
Arie "Why are women so angry all the time!" he exclaims, rubbing his head.
Reima "There are some topics you just don't touch... Trust me." he says with a hard look.
Mizore "What is this place?" she asks, looking up at the stage in interest.
Reima "It's a comedy club, you go here to watch people tell jokes, or tell jokes yourself... I'd recommend not going up unless you've got a routine planned out though."
It eventually starts, a few comedians already well known in Ichor coming out and performing their bits. Quelana, Snow Drake, and even Dandelion come and provide entertaining shows... Afterwards is the amateurs... A drunken Kuretz gets on stage and starts slurring incomplete jokes into the mic, forcing San's to throw him off of the stage and back to his table after a minute of his drivel.
Sans "Remember folks, you're guests in my establishment... Don't take my generosity for weakness" he says with one glowing eye, causing some to shudder before returning back to his usual laid back attitude. "We got any more jokesters who wanna have a go?" he asks.
A few of the braver folks do, walking up on stage and giving their best goes, most receiving only a chuckle for their best line. But, for newbies it was a good showing.
The night crawls to an end, the girls sleepily getting up and heading back to Kaer Morhen. The guys stay to continue drinking however, Reima himself having drunk most of the establishment's alcohol and having to switch to his own stock.
When morning starts to roll around Sans throws them all out, having to get the place ready for evening's show. The group all separate, Kuretz presumably going to one of the few stripclubs in Ichor while the others simply return to their homes.
Reima teleports to his usual balcony, his drunken state wearing off quickly through meditation. Refocussing his efforts on mastering his control over his aura.

...
Reima's brow furrows when he gets a familiar sensation... What's this?...
"**** ** ***"
... Seriously this is getting annoying now, the hell is this?
He focuses his Observation Haki which causes his eyes to open wide, "Help us Rei!"
Reima "Fleur?... Shit!" he exclaims, standing and blinking to her position without any hesitation.
