Music and Drinks

[Sonnie Wu]

"Geez," she says, looking at Madison's phone picture, "I thought I was agile, but I've got nothing on you!" Smiling, Sonnie pondered the entire concept of contortionism. "I wonder how that all started. Like, one day someone said 'I bet you I can fit in that box!' and there other guy said 'You're on!' and then it became a thing people would pay money to see!"

"I probably should have busted her nose, but getting violent wasn't going to help me." She shrugged to Madison and took a drink, "She was gone before I could have done anything to her car, anyway." She grinned at Allen and nodded, "I think there's a lesson about entitlement, too."

The changeling listened to the werewolf's story with a bemused expression, and she laughed at the end of it. "That's too bad! I bet a mob boss would tip really well!"

She looked into her half-empty glass, "Damn, now I want pizza."

The Shaman laughs, “Another reason I retired, it’s beginning to take a toll on me.” She might be bendy, but just like everyone, as she got older, it got painful. “Not as young as I used to be.” She jokes with a wink.

Sipping her drink, she listens to Allen’s story. “Crime-riddled black hole? Is that the technical name for it?” though she knew the type of neighborhood he was talking about.

Blue eyes widen as the story continues. “Oh wow! Seriously?!” sounded a bit far-fetched, but, it was still a fun story. “But you should have at least got a tip.”

Shrugging, “There is agile, and then there’s what I do. I’m just really bendy and flexible, I’m sure there are things you can do that I can’t.” what her body could do was different. “Hmm, not sure. But that sounds reasonable enough to me. Never doubt the trouble that goes down when multiple contortionists get together. Always a contest to see who is more flexible.” Without fail.

“Yeah, I suppose you’re right. But people like her could stand to learn from getting their noses busted. I know I wouldn’t have felt bad for her.” Not one bit. Hell, she might have even messed with her in other ways. She might not have curses anymore, but she can still fuck with people.

“I would hope so!” glancing at Sonja, “Pizza actually does sound good now that you mention it.”

[Sonnie Wu]

The talk of crime and high-risk communities didn't sound like subjects she was interested in pursuing. Boring, or unpleasant, perhaps. Either way, Sonnie only wanted to be amused tonight, and maybe fed. Yes, fed. Fed was good.

She knocked back her glass, draining the last of her second rum and coke, then set it down upon the bar and looked to the mage and werewolf. She set her hands on her hips and smiled. "Well! I don't know about you two, but I could use some food to soak up the booze in my stomach! If there's a pizza joint nearby, I say we go devour a pie or two! What do you say?"

Sonnie grinned at Allen, "No reason we can't eat pizza and keep sharing stories!"

[Aurora]

“And being a person of interest just has a way of making your life all kinds of complicated. Or, at least, that’s how it looks on tv.” She’d never been one herself, always being gone before the cops arrived. “And even though there wasn’t a tip, it did give you a great story to share at a bar with random people! Good stories always make it easier to meet people and break the ice.” He had mentioned being new after all.

It was hard to not roll her eyes, but she chuckles, “It was a joke. Though maybe it wasn’t my best.” A shrug. Wouldn’t be her last bad joke.

Looking around, then at her drink, which was almost gone, “That’s a tough one, both have benefits.” She could use a few more drinks. Well, ok, she shouldn’t. But did it matter when you could Life away the alcohol in your system?

“Seems Sonja has come up with a good solution. Get pizza and share more stories!” finishing the rest of her drink as well, “Sounds like a great plan to me!”

[Sonnie Wu]

Sonnie made sure she had all her things, and was ready to go. "Onward, to pizza and..."

She paused to give Allen a quizzical look, "Contes?"

I'm good with closing it up here. If you really want to start a new shard, that would also be fine.

[Aurora]

The corners of her mouth twitched up into a smile, “Exactly!” as someone who spent most of her life on the road, she knew the power of a good story.

Paying her tab, “Calories should never be counted, only consumed.”

Shrugging, “No clue.” Nope. “Onward! To pizza and stories!”

I'm good either way. Opening a new scene has the potential for others to join, which would be great! So I'll go with whatever you guys want
