Late Night Drink

[Aurora]

She had to get out of her apartment because she was beginning to feel boxed in. It was late, well, what some people might consider late, but not for her. Her lack of sleeping through the night had found her often out walking. With her iPod in, she was sometimes surprised to see the sky lightening, telling her how long she had been strolling.

But this night she found herself in a bar, so she ordered herself a pitcher of beer and found a booth with a view of the door. The bar was kind of a hole in the wall place, nothing flashy, just some place to grab a drink. There was some pool tables towards the back as well as a dart board for those wanting to test their skill. The few tv’s had some sporting event on and some guys at the bar were cheering at whatever was going on.

Her iPod went back in as she sat against the wall, knees up in front of her and absently sipped her beer, glancing around every now and then. Her hair was loose and falling around her shoulders, hints of a bright magenta color peeking out, and her leather coat rested on the bench. Beneath it was a black tank top over leather pants.

Sipping her beer, she watched the ragged guy head for the pool tables. Her last evening playing pool had gone quite well, but for all she knows, Konrad could have let her win. She shrugs the thought away as she removes the iPod, tucking it into a pocket on her leather coat. Grabbing her pitcher and glass of beer she heads over. Drinking isn’t all that much fun alone, and playing pool solo was even less fun. There was the thought of texting Konrad for another match, but this guy could prove interesting.

The pitcher is placed on the table and she raises her glass in greeting, putting on a winning smile,

“Hey, now pool and drinking are defiantly not fun by yourself. Want some company?” she asks.

-1 Glamour for Hardened Mask

Another night, another fruitless search for employment; or at least a little Glamour, for the Spring Courtier. It was becoming a depressing cycle for Finn, it seems the city didn't lack for entertainers at the moment. At least he still had a few coins to rub together, so a pint or two seems a descent enough way to finish off the evening. And on the bright side, not having a car meant he didn't have to worry about finding a designated driver!

Stopping by the bar, Finn orders up a can of beer; or at least what the Yanks pass off for proper booze, then heads over to the pool tables. He contemplates joining the beautiful blond for a moment, but once he manages to tear his eyes off Faye, he notices she was accompanied by a pile of thread-bare clothes that have a man inside them. Far be it from him to cock block a man who managed to punch above his weight class; Finn instead moving to one of the empty tables.

The Fairest had spent a good portion of his formative years in places like this; there were plenty of smokey pool halls back in Ireland, and it seemed that every dive bar was required to have a stained, aging pool table. He was a few years out of practice, but the muscle memory quickly returns as Finn racks up the balls and grabs a cue. He wasn't playing anything specific; just running through the numbers, one through fifteen one at a time.

-1 Vitae for Blush of Life

Konrad texts Richard and Katya ( SoraLow sumthingpositiv ) to see if they were still interested in hitting a few places for their pub crawl. Seeing how the Coyote Tap House closed down he had to settle for something more out of the way where the Kindred could grab a booth to chit chat before luring away a patron for a midnight snack. Turns out the place he stumbles across is fairly busy still which could be bad or good depending.

After texting the address to his Kindred companions, Konrad heads inside and notices a couple familiar faces already. One belonging to his Mage mortal friend, Faye, and the other to someone he's met once before. Konrad's Beast notices it before he does, the scent of prey wafting off the man who he calls family. He grits his teeth and narrows his eyes at Tomas for a moment as he resists...urges.

It takes him a moment to realize the two are talking to each other. Konrad quickly sits down, feeling a nostalgic sense of embarrassment for having stared as long as he did. Had they noticed? Hopefully Richard and Katya wouldn't take too long in arriving, if they even planned on showing.

Konrad looks away from the bar and finds that he's sat down at an occupied table.

"Oh. Umm, hi. Sorry, didn't realize this table was taken," he says to the tall sandy-haired man who might well have been a male model ( Finn Connolly Mykel )

Chuck, dressed casually, took a deep breath in through his nose as he entered the bar to get a smell for the place, and if there were any of his brothers nearby, and immediately regretted it. The smell wasn't that bad really, but inhaling it deeply down the olfactory system could hardly be described as a good idea.

He took a brief glance around, noticing the blonde from the race at the pool table with, a homeless man perhaps? Surely someone who couldn't afford new clothes.

He walked to the bar, and ordered a bourbon on the rocks then took it over the where the action seemed to be, the pool tables.

"Madison." he said with a smile. "Good to see you again. I still haven't shown you how the Corvette rides." he said with a friendly smile. "Who's your friend?" he asked looking to the man he'd just seen racking the balls as he'd entered.

[Aurora]

She accepts the offered cue before setting her glass down.

“I’m not all that good either, but I find the game fun.” And for all she knows, he could be great at pool and just being modest. Didn’t matter to her either way.

“Nice to meet you too, I’m Madison.” She moves to the break as she talks. After taking aim, she manages to hit the triangle, not her best shot, but hey, she hit it.

Moving away from the table, she couldn’t help but notice the tall dark and handsome guy enter. Seriously, how could you not notice him! He could be fun to talk to, and she flashes him a smile. But she wasn’t one to be rude and drop one guy to talk to another. Tomas seemed nice enough.

And then, there was Konrad! Another smile was flashed and she waved. Funny how Fate works sometimes, seemed she was just thinking of texting him and poof…there he is!

Now Fate was just playing with her tonight, cause here is Chuck from the car show!

She smiled again, “Hey Chuck, great to see you!” she greets. “And no, you haven’t, we need to work on that.” Turning to her friend, “This is Tomas.”

-1V Blush of Life

Richard flips through his phone, delighted to see the invitation from Konrad, he was beginning to think he would meet his final death from boredom before anything else. He pulls out a long sleeved white shirt, a pair of denim jeans and some wheat colored boot then called for a cab to take him to the spot. On the way there he wonders if Katya will have arrived first and prepares to brace himself against the intensity of greater beast. It takes him awhile but eventually he arrives, pays for the cab with a modest tip and proceeds inside.

From the moment he stepped foot in the door he was instantly alerted to their presence, his beast hissing and retreating to the smallest corner within him, gnawing at him to retreat as he took further steps towards them. The blood brought life to his face, and hopefully masked some of the fear.

He brings himself to their attention cautiously and with purpose, though he was sure that by their own beast would be sizing him up. Their presence almost made him mist that of another, it seemed that he wasn't the only weakling here, a fact that brought him an odd comfort. If anything he need not protect himself from Katya and Richard, he need only be the strongest weak thing in the room. - he says discretely. "Thanks for inviting me, Katya we meet again".
