It had been a long Monday after an even longer weekend, so Dawn decided to buck the trend and seek out something different. She felt she was becoming a familiar face at her usual haunts and Murray's had been recommended by one of her last client to check out. Dawn made a quick stop at home to change out of the designer knock-off business suits the hotel required her to wear and freed her hair from its far too-tight bun. She pulled on a little black dress that worked for any occasion, and kicked off her flats for a pair of black wedge sandals. Make-up was limited to reapplying lip-gloss and thickening her eyeliner, any more than that and she'd feel like she was wearing a mask.
Once dressed, she headed downstairs to hail a cab. As tempting as it was to take a shortcut to the bar itself, there held a risk that someone might try to use the same door before she could sever her connection to it, leaving a very confused stranger inside her apartment instead of wherever they hoped to be. Beside, she actually liked finding her way around the city the old-fashioned way before thinking about cutting corners with her ability. The trip wasn't as long as she thought, thankfully, so she paid the fare and made her way inside the pub, weaving her way through the crowd to first check out the selection at the bar.
While she waited for the bartender to finish up with his current patron, she glanced across the bar at the other occupants, smiling in silent greeting once she landed eye contact with someone. "Hey, what do you recommend?" she asked, raising her voice over the music playing on the loudspeaker.
