Karaoke Night!

[Yog-Sothoth]

"Ok, you guys totally suck," Aurum laughed jokingly. "I guess that's two more drinks? I suppose it is a good think I'm off tomorrow."

Her drinks arrived and she thought they were aptly named Airhead, and were shots with peach schnapps and cranberry juice. She downed one right away and was grateful that she had another water brought over, but if she kept drinking like this she'd need to make a pit stop soon.

"And Madison believes in me even if the rest of you think I'm some museum destroying hooligan." She turned to Faye and gave the woman a mock suspicious glare. "It isn't some plan to be friendly and get me drunk so you can take advantage of me or anything i hope...I'm watching you." Aurum finished with a grin to Faye.

"The daycare thing is true, strangely enough, this is California after all so compared to the rest of the country this place can be another planet. I get just about as many compliments for my sense of style as I do glares. However, Zoey is right I have to seriously dress down, but I can still get away with some creative touches. Also, sorry Madison the museum thing was true." She turned to everyone with an oops my bad expression. "There was a very good reason for it at the time, like life and death reason, and I didn't damage any of the exhibits, just the office area. I do understand the importance of historical and cultural artifacts so I'm not totally irresponsible. The Catholic thing is the lie, my parents would practically disown me if I went Catholic," Aurum laughed.

"I guess I made mine too easy for you guys, but I hoped that the unlikely nature of the other two would trip more of you up. Shows what I know." She punctuated her statement by downing her second shot.

It was true that VT hadn't talked about much that was personal, but the mention of existing family members definitely seemed like something that should be mentioned to cabalmates first, before a room full of drunken assholes. But, maybe it was precisely that. Maybe Zoey was a bit too drunk to have thought that through.

That was the problem with alcohol. It made you do things you'd regret later.

"I didn't do a dime. That was my lie." It was close. She should have done a dime. She just let herself out of it earlier.

[Jhet]

She's already drunk. She's liable to piss herself after this. Was it her plan, to get them as wrong as she could so that she can drink a whole lot more? Sure. That's her plan.

She gets up and goes over to the bar and purchases a whole bottle of tequila. Because when you're going to be doing a lot of shots, you go south of the border. A cup of limes and a salt shaker fill the rest of her other hand that isn't carrying shot glasses. If shit wasn't already crazy, it's about to be.

"Four wrong for me. And that's before Asp -en shares hers. Who needs in on this bottle?"

What are the odds that she gets laid tonight? Good. She just hasn't meet him yet. She'd feel bad for Match.com because he's been nice to him if it wasn't for that little rule of hers. No awakened strange-love. It never ends well. Some guy is going to get 'lucky', and he just doesn't know it yet.

And maybe Elle will even remember it. At this rate, probably not.

[Star]

He nodded at Faye. Spiders creeped him out, too. Okay, maybe a little more than creeped out. Maybe a little scary. So. Untrustworthy. All arachnids are, yo. Just ask the frog.

His eyes glanced at Zoey, but didn't linger. Avis didn't seem to be having much fun, either. Maybe it was About That Time? Especially with whatever was going on between Aurum and Faye? He laughed and threw up his hands in a protesting gesture as Nous made a bottle appear. A. Whole. Bottle. Water, yo. Because.

"I can't even count how many I got right or wrong, but I was pretttttty sure Aspen wasn't, you know, a cheerleader," he tossed out, his laugh winding down.

Sounded like 4W needed a Jet Li night. And Top Gun.

"Man, uh, I hate to be That Guy, buuuuuut... I do have to work tomorrow." He slid off of his chair and stood up. "Even if this has totally been a blast. Seriously. Thank you all so much. I really had fun. We should do it again, yeah? Faye. Aurum. Eric. Awesome to meet you."

Someone has to be the first to leave. And maybe? That made it easier for others that might want to. And, spiders, yo. Because buzzkill.

[Zodiac]

"Darn," Zoey chuckled to herself, "I'd so hoped you could break out the old uniform and all," she grinned cheekily at Asp, before giving a little nod to Star and getting to her feet. "Alright, I gotta sober up and get the kids home, then."

A smile was offered to the rest of the group, a somewhat sincere one at that, before she settled her eyes on Aurum. "... I wanna hear about that damn good reason of yours one of these days, yeah?" The smile still remained even as she reached to half-support Asp in standing. "... c'mon light-weight. Felix is waiting."

[Avis]

"It was nice to meet y'all," Avis said, standing up. "But they're my ride," she continued, nodding towards her cabal. "And, uh, try and take care. It's not a safe city to be out of your head in."

Seriously. If you wanted to get fucked up, do it in your sanctum. Otherwise you were just making yourself into a piece of vomit-ridden bait.

Well, maybe they all had Life, or something. Either way, their choice.

[Yog-Sothoth]

Aurum nodded as the Star and the others got up to leave. It had been a really long day and they were probably right, it was time to call it a night. Besides things had got really weird when Jack's friends...cabal...whatever showed up.

The goth wasn't sure what their deal was and Jack had got really weird too. There was way too much tension and drama there and they really did not seem to like him getting close to anyone other then them. Aurum liked Jack...no not in that way...besides it wasn't like he was trying to be anything other than friendly to her. Either his cabal didn't like her, was jealous, cautious, or some combination or maybe even all of the above. She'd likely have to give this crowd a wide birth in the future, she didn't get the feeling that Jacks' trio of ladies really wanted anything to do with pretty much anyone but themselves and Jack.

Were they trying to get with him, or had they already gotten with him and were circling the wagons in defense against the evil women threat?

"You're probably right...it is getting late...and I shouldn't be out much longer anyway," Aurum said in agreement with Star.

She stood up and pushed her chair out when Zoey and the others stood up and starting saying their goodbyes. Heck, even Zoey had been a good sport here.

"Hey it was nice meeting you all," Aurum said with a friendly smile.

She looked curiously at Zoey and wasn't sure what the other woman meant by that. The goth thought it would be a cold day in hell before Zoey had good intentions toward her, or even wanted anything to do with her. She got the distinct impression that she wasn't welcome and didn't think the sourpuss wanted friendly chit chat.

"I don't think I'd mind," she began cautiously. "If you wanted the full details it would need to be someplace we could talk openly. But, I got the distinct impression you hated me...I won't need an adult or need to let people know where I am and what I'm doing...will I?" Aurum figured her words were pretty plain and she meant something else when she said adult. She didn't hold any animosity to Zoey, but was clearly feeling out the other woman's intentions.

"I'm heading right home to sleep this shit off," Aurum nodded in agreement to Avis.
