When Jaden woke up, he was studying the bottom of a very beautifully crafted wooden table. He noted a small signature-like thing in the corner which seemed to read "Chksng", and made a mental note to ask Sir Chuck about it. Speaking of which, he thought, why was he under the table? Why did his head hurt so much? Oh right, he remembered, Master Mike's birthday party and all those drinks he had. Mistress Elizabeth and the kiss.

Struggling to sit up, he crashed his forehead on the bottom of the table, and fell back down. Jaden shook his head to clear the stars out of his vision, then managed to roll over and crawl out from under the table. Jaden tried to stand up, but the room started spinning so he dropped back down to all fours, deciding that it would be better to stay near the ground. The world is very blurry... he thought vaguely.

Blinking owlishly under the lights that stabbed into his eyes, he looked around. He didn't remember how he got to the party, or how to get back to Mistress Ruby's room. There were people cleaning up but he didn't recognize them and he didn't know who they were. He concentrated and thought very hard to Mistress Ruby, "Ah, how do I get to your room again?"
