[ Roxy is in front of the camera, sloshed and loving the shit out of her shark themed jacket. She waves, smiling. ]

I kind of forgot to do this earlier. It was my punishment, and I've been putting it way off. Sorry for the sex that happened days ago, guys.

Let's talk about something else, though. Let's talk about drinks. I wanna broaden my horizons. Wanna try new things. So tell me, what's your favorite drink? Alcohol necessary. How do you make it? Shaken, stirred, microwaved, brought to a boil and then mixed with gasoline? How do.

[ PRIVATE TO BRO STRIDER / voice ]

[ A little while before the public feed, Roxy rings up Bro. ]

Um. Hey. What's hangin', daddy-o? You okay? I dunno if Dirk was able to rough you up or not. I hope not. But I'm worried, I guess. And I'm sorry for the radio static on my end, I should've asked sooner. But one drink lead to another and I haven't been sober enough to really ask properly. I'm sorry.

I own a bar here in Sector 4, I guess I could whip ya up somethin' good.

[It was inevitable even if it still felt kind of wrong considering the age limit he was used to all his life back home. Still... no age limit or price tag here, what would stop her? And it's business. He'd keep an eye on her and cut her off when it was clear she'd had too many. Still kinda sad to see a young girl start so early. Makes him wonder why she started in the first place.]

	[ She perks the fuck up at that, grinning wider. Roxy doesn't notice any signs of what Sam is thinking, and if she did she would probably not care beyond a little irritation. ] Yesss. That sounds perfect. Maybe I'll try your straight booze, even. What's your place called? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A small smile, still charming despite his sort of concern for her. He's a nice guy, he cares about things... sometimes too much. He's like an over-protective brother or uncle to most people.] Merlotte's. Come in any time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Charming indeed. Roxy winks at him, exaggerated and silly. ] I sure will. And what's your name? I'm Roxy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sam. We met briefly, though ya might not remember me. [Pretty sure she was drunk then too and they didn't exchange names. She just introduced herself to everyone.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She hmms, unable to place him other than just now. ] I was here before, and then disappeared. I came back with no memory of that time. So maybe that's it? I try not to completely black out too often... [ But Sam will notice that the scenery is changing behind her as she walks towards his bar. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Video] sorry for the tl;dr!

[Definitely taking notice to the scenery.

Sam still feels a little awkward about condoning her alcoholic behavior but he's like that cool older brother that lets his little sister have a drink or two with him. He can monitor her and make sure she doesn't over do it.

And really, they're in prison, why limit anyone if it'll let them have fun? What future is she going to ruin when she's trapped? You only live once and he barely knew her, so if she wanted to die young he had no say in it.

Maybe a more responsible adult would ban minors from their bar, but he felt it was more responsible of him to manage what she drinks. It's better than her going off and doing it alone right? Which she could easily do. She could get hurt, or lost, or over do it and get sick. This way he can be a friend to her instead of turning his back. She definitely seemed like she was determined to drink and would do it regardless if he let her or not.]

Could be, I've heard of that happenin' t'quite a few people. An' I kin safely say I've drank myself unconscious one or two times...

[He's blacked out on other occasions and that can get dangerous, so he generally tries not to do that either.]

[ Roxy is determined-- she might even leave and keep drinking after he tells her she's had enough. She doesn't care that she's going to fuck her body up, she doesn't care that it hurts the people around her-- she doesn't even realize that, honestly-- and most of all she doesn't care that it makes her do stupid shit.

All she can see is the bottle of the bottle. It's her life and she's only okay with it when she's drunk. ]

Yeah, shit's off the walls. Wish I remembered it.

[ But she grins, and she tilts the camera to show an upside-down view of the front of his place. She's laughing as she steps through the door and wanders on in. The feed cuts.

She doesn't know where he might be, so she's looking around every which way. ]

	[Video-->Action] again sorry! turnsonadime 2013-05-08 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	[He tilts his head when he sees an upside-down version of his bar before just turning off the feed and looking up as the blond wanders in. He waves at her and waits for her to join him at the bar.] Looks like y'found the place okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Action] no worries!

[ She turns around and steps over. She takes a seat on a barstool, and she leans her elbows on the counter. ]

Yeah. I wasn't too far away, just had to skip on through a block or five. I can tell a bar miles away, I swear. Sniffing that out like a hound dog on the trail of a robber, lead along by the scent of 100 proof whiskey-wine.

So what you got for me? Any drinks you can whip up, specialty? I'm trying to sample a little bit of everything, now that my stash ain't so limited.

	Y'said sweet an' fruity right? Somethin' with vodka? D'ya want a martini t'start or should I surprise ya with somethin' else? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Action] retrogame 2013-05-09 02:45 am UTC (link)
	[ She nods enthusiastically. ] Yesss, that sounds like it'll hit the spot. One martini, please. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alright. [He whips up an Appletini for her, setting an apple slice on the side for a garnish before sliding it forward.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Action] retrogame 2013-05-10 04:23 am UTC (link)
	[ She grins wide, taking a long sip and then eating the apple slice. ] You make a hecka good appletini. Thanks. Do you like running a restaurant slash bar? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Action] turnsonadime 2013-05-10 04:53 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you Cher. I do. It's just as good as when I made money from it. [It was his passion and a part of his home that he shared with everyone. So it was probably the best thing he did since coming to Marina.] You uh... seem t'know your stuff. How long have you been drinkin? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Action] retrogame 2013-05-10 05:03 pm UTC (link)
	It's a real nice place you got here, that's for sure. I didn't even think of doing something like this, when I first got here. It's cool that people did think of it. And man, I... [ Hmm. Around twelve, she thinks. ] I think I first got smashed a few years ago. I totally underestimated how much booze I could hold and I got so sick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Action] turnsonadime 2013-05-17 02:17 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks Cher I'm glad ya like it. There are a few others who run places too, if I'm not mistaken. [A chuckle.] An' lucky for you there ain't no drinkin' age limit. Are ya better at knowin' your limit now? Gettin' sick is no fun. (Reply to this) (Parent)
