    "Zoey"
    Sheet

    If her messenger bag has been mentioned, Zoey is carrying an old leatherbound journal, two bottles of gatorade and a waterbottle, a change of clothing, a second small pistol, a couple of snacks and a variety of miscellaneous objects. Don't question a woman's purse.

    It was networking. Or working on an assignment. Or something. She'd taken advantage of the sunshine to wear a light dress that day, her hair pulled into a fishtail braid to keep it back and out of her face... plus it looked a little nicer?

    She glanced at the Arrow a moment before sighing heavily. "... so. Girls your age go... what... shopping or something to... y'know... bond or whatever?" ... she hated girl time. There were lots of things she liked to do with girls, but... frankly Asp reminded her of too many popular kids she'd hated in school, the ones who were all fancy and dressed up and gossiping about football and stupid shit. Had she actually tried to dress nice to... what...? Fit in with this chick?

    Why had she decided that this would be a good idea? Why was she making any effort at all to get to know an Arrow?

    ... oh right. Cut's brilliant 'faux-cabal' idea.

    What else did those popular chicks used to do, anyway? All she remembered was their annoying nattering.

    She didn't know the Guardian well. But sometimes, just sometimes... Asp wondered if Ozy had sat on a cactus. She had a bit of a sourpuss thing going on. Like Grumpy Cat, only with two legs instead of four.

    "Well, honestly, I was sort of hoping we could drink boxed wine and pop in Grey's Anatomy," the Arrow said dryly, with a little half-smile. "Maybe we could throw on our PJs?"

    Now she was just having fun. They couldn't do that. If Cut found out, he'd totally lose his shit about not having been invited. Or make jokes about pillow fights.

    Or both.

    She peered idly over at her new fauxbal-mate for a second and said, "Just kidding. Honestly, we can do anything from hitting a pub to going to a museum. Whatever you want. I'm easy." The youthful Obrimos gave her a small smile. "What're you feeling?"

    The woman watched her for a second, seeming rather perplexed by the girl's words, before rolling her eyes. A joke. Of course. "There are good boxed wines out there," she responded quietly, before wrinkling her nose. Not that she'd exactly know what a good expensive bottled wine was like, but hey, what did it matter? There was nothing good, however, about that television show.

    She watched the younger girl for a few minutes longer as she tried to determine if the girl was simply making fun of her, before giving an absent shrug as she looked away. "A pub is fine. Did you have one in mind?" Alcohol. Other distractions. The museum quip was clearly some sort of little trap the girl had set up, and she wasn't going to fall for it. At least it wasn't shopping, though... she could see the pub thing going sour easily enough, as well. This idea seemed worse and worse the longer she thought on it...

    ... but she'd persevere through this. Despite it all. It'd only be for a short time... and if she couldn't handle being around this one that long... well, her involvement in things would then depend on Avis, who thankfully at least didn't remind her of high school.

    Asp seemed a bit disappointed that Mandy had gone straight for the liquor. But hey, there was culture to be enjoyed here along with the booze. Vincent Royce had made sure of that.

    "A pub, eh? Do you like jazz? The Byzantine had some good bands at it when last I went there, plus the beer is pretty good."

    She put her hands in her jeans pockets, peering at the Guardian.

    ... and jazz, huh? Oh this was just going to be fantastic. Whiny saxophones, obnoxious trumpets, and a trombone just for the fuck of it, in case brass instruments hadn't already been echoing around in your head. Looking to her attire, she sighed a bit. Yeah, a sundress wasn't exactly the attire for the pub... at least not if she intended on getting laid after this plan went to shit. Not with the kid around.

    She fiddled with the end of her brain as she thought on it and finally simply nodded. "... not that either of us are really dressed for a pub, I suppose." Did she still have her makeup in the car? She knew she had a dress in there, somewhere... changes of clothes were on hand for her pretty regularly. Makeup though... She couldn't recall if she'd taken it out or not. Dressing up, though... ugh. She'd already dressed up a little and still felt significantly inferior to the youth. This was why she didn't tend to bother. She pulled the elastic from the end of her hair and wrapped it around her wrist, before slowly combing out the braid with her fingers.

    Asp shrugged nonchalantly. "Meh. We're gorgeous," she said, unconcerned. Ozy certainly looked cute in that sundress. "Plus, even if we weren't, I'm not in the business of caring what randoms think."

    The Arrow did not lack for confidence - and her Daddy didn't raise no little girl who was dependent on bar trolls for validation. She wasn't wearing make-up. A bit of lip balm to fight off the dryness of the California sun was about all she went with for cosmetics most of the time. She had no intention of putting any on.

    "One sec," She paused, pulling out her phone and sending a text for a taxi. "Just getting us a cab."

    She was a cocky creature, wasn't she? Her fingers continued to release her hair from it's braid, leaving it in nice waves as it had dried that way, though she found herself without something to do with her hands the moment it was done. Her fingers reached into her smaller purse, around her pistol to pull out her chapstick before she applied it. It wasn't going to help, really, but... damnit, why had she decided to do this again?

    She was going to kill Cut before she left this city. And then she would, of course, promptly leave the city. It was so much easier to blame him for this than to acknowledge that the idea had been hers. Jazz music... at a pub... with an Arrow she was reasonably sure was only barely legal drinking age in this country - if she even was. This felt like the week before prom all over again.

    The silence stretched, and Asp's gaze flicked up from the phone, assessing the Guardian. What was her deal? Was she going to be a sourpuss all night?

    As much as the Guardian attempted to hide it, she was clearly a bit anxious about something. Her posture and fidgeting, if nothing else, gave it away even as she tucked the chapstick back in her purse and closed it, tugging almost self-consciously at a little thread on her dress.

    She'd done a pretty good job, actually, of convincing herself that it was simply distaste for this woman that she didn't know... entirely preconceived notions. What did it matter, anyway? All of this was just some stupid, temporary arrangement...

    Asp called it like she saw it.

    "I promise, if you don't enjoy it, the drinks are on me and you can pick the next spot, okay?"

    Her face was honest. There was nothing to be lost here but a bit of time.

    Plus, maybe Mandy would chill some with a bit to drink.
