[ Rebecca gives Roxy the booze signal, and she's off like a rocket.

First, to Calliope's apartment. Then, her friend in tow, she drags herself on over to the bar. She's not actually sure which bar it is, but she doesn't really give a fuck either. It's just a backdrop to what she hopes will be a fun night out.

Roxy catches Rebecca from behind, and tugs Calliope over by the wrist. ]

Heeeey. Rebecca?

[Calliope had agreed to come along: hesitantly, but willingly. Still, it doesn't prevent her from understanding that not everyone has Roxy's Friendship Goggles. Even if most everyone has been nice to her about her appearance so far, she still just wants to hide her face.]

[Which she is doing, or trying to do, with her hoodie. Her hands are similarly gloved, to hide her claws.]

Umm.

	[Rebecca's already got an open beer in hand, but spins around when called. She grins, giving Roxy a nod and her friend a glance-to.] Sup? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Roxy grins over at Rebecca, turning to shoot Calliope what she hopes is a reassuring glance. ] Not much, yet-- just walked in the door. This is Callie-- Callie, this is Rebecca. Now that the two of you are introduced, let's grab something to drink. We're gonna get this party started right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hello, Rebecca. It's a pleasure to meet you. [It's a genuine and polite greeting, albeit nervous. And also, oddly British-accented, not really pinpoint-able to any particular region. Calliope smiles, though tries not to bare too much more of her teeth in the process.] What do you recommend? For drinking, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-05-04 02:59 am UTC (link)
	[If Rebecca notices a single thing out of place with Calliope conventionally, she doesn't show it. Instead she just raises her bottle with a friendly smile.] I start with beer, but Rox knows the way to go from there. Not a big drinker? [Addressing Calliope lightheartedly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Roxy laughs, and is grateful Rebecca's being so cool about it all. The point of dragging Calliope out was to give her a fun time as well as cheer her newer friend up. ] Yesss. You didn't like the juice cocktail before too much, right? Maybe you'd like beer better. I don't know shit about beer though, so Rebecca, you gotta aid our fledgling along.

	Er- what Roxy said. [She relaxes a little when Rebecca betrays no horror or anything of the sort, as her wild imaginings tend to assume will occur.] I've only had a bit of what she's shared with me. It wasn't anything we had around at home, you see. So, I'll try anything once! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-05-04 03:35 am UTC (link)
	[She chuckles.] Alright. But not everyone digs beer on the first sip either, but let's get you hooked up. [And she backtracks to the bar to order up.] What're you having, Rox? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-05-04 03:46 am UTC (link)
	Vodka martini. I feel like strawberry today. Thanks, Becca. I should really try more shit, but I'm a gal who likes what she likes. And! We're gonna go sit riiiiight over here, you'll see us. [ She's settling down at a table pretty close to the bar, waving Calliope and then Rebecca over. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-04 03:51 am UTC (link)
	Alright! Thank you. [Calliope looks between Rebecca and Roxy, not sure if help is needed with drinks or if protocol dictates it's time to sit down.] [She ultimately decides to take Roxy's verbal cue and trails after her once the awkward confused pause is over.] Umm.

[Rebecca will trail over in a second, brandishing a mug of beer in one hand and her bottle and Roxy's Martini in the other. Of course, the key thing to notice is that she's added a tiny pink parasol to the mug and slides it on the table to Calliope.] Special delivery.

[She'll take up a seat, grinning at both the other girls.] If y'don't like it we'll find something else, but beer's an easy drink to find.

	[ Roxy nods in agreement, and takes her drink up. ] Yeah, beer's easy. I'm sure you could sample some more kinds of beer than just this, too. I don't mind running on up a good few times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	1/2 ophiuchus 2013-05-05 02:19 am UTC (link)
	[Amid the discussions and reassurances about beer, the parasol is what catches her attention. It's a pretty decent ice breaker: Calliope is for a moment very baffled, and then she giggles at it and carefully plucks it out. She holds it up to show Roxy more closely.] It's so tiny! Thank you, Rebecca. [And, beaming, she carefully replaces it and then goes to sip her beer.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[...] [...] [Calliope very politely sets the drink back down, her white serpentine tongue dangling out even as she tries not to look COMPLETELY disgusted.] That's... interesting... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-05-05 03:40 am UTC (link)
	[Cue Rebecca chortling.] Okay, okay-- maybe not the drink for you. I think they call it an acquired taste. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-05-05 08:00 am UTC (link)
	[ Roxy awws at the little umbrella, but quickly bursts out laughing at her reaction to the actual drink. ] Yeah, defs. Wanna trade? My drink's sweeter, kinda tastes like candy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-06 12:07 am UTC (link)
	I can see why. [Calliope very sheepishly (but also very willingly) scoots the beer toward Roxy.] Yours definitely sounds more my speed, Roxy—if you don't mind the trade. What is beer even made out of? I've never really tasted anything like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-05-06 05:04 am UTC (link)
	Fermented grains, I want to say. I don't really know, I just drink it. [She grins.] When we do shots lets pick something sweeter too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-05-06 06:38 am UTC (link)
	I don't mind, really. [ Roxy pushes it off towards Calliope, and takes the beer up. She sips at it, and tries not to make a face. She kind of takes more of a gulp than a sip, too. Teasingly: ] Yessss. We don't wanna throw Callie for a loop by tryin' something that isn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-06 06:41 am UTC (link)
	Like bread? [She raises the glass to her mouth and sips it. Much better. Calliope smiles.] And I'm terribly sorry for betraying my naivety so much here, but... shots? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-05-06 06:44 am UTC (link)
	Shots are like mini glasses you drink all at once. They're usually stronger than larger drinks, and you can do a bunch in a row. I'm not a usual shot-drinker, but Roxy's got an effect on me, what can I say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-05-06 06:49 am UTC (link)
	[ She nods enthusiastically. ] It's a surefire way to edge over tipsy and fall the fuck down. I like tequila shots, with lime and salt, but that's kinda sour. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-06 06:53 am UTC (link)
	She's certainly an influence, isn't she? [On one hand, Calliope isn't sure it's a good idea to get that drunk. On the other, if she's fall-down out of it, then Caliborn won't exactly be able to do much harm either.] [She takes another drink.] Well, it certainly sounds very interesting! No harm in giving it a try, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-05-06 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	I think a first time shotter should get the whole deal, colored and jello shots alike. What d'you say, Rox? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-05-07 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. I says yes, yes, and fuckin' yes. Let's get some of that shit. I'll pretend to pay, so it's on me, girls. Let the good times roll, and let the alcohol slide down our throats. Callie, you'll probably like jello. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
