[ 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?

	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)

	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)

	[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)

	[Cue Rebecca chortling.] Okay, okay-- maybe not the drink for you. I think they call it an acquired taste. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ 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)

	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)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-08 12:05 am UTC (link)
	[Well, Calliope certainly can't see the point in protesting. Because it sounds completely delicious. She sits up straighter.] I've had jello before! Not too often, though. It wasn't terribly substantial. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-05-08 06:49 pm UTC (link)
	What's your favorite flavor? We can start with that. Color too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Calliope gives Roxy a look, and then, with some embarrassment:] ... Lime. Or green. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-05-09 12:24 am UTC (link)
	Okay, is it me or does lime jello never taste really like lime. It tastes like green jello. Green popsicles. Green flavor. But real limes are always more limey. [Rebecca is good at conversation.] Green jello is always cool though. Beats the socks off of grape. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-05-09 12:43 am UTC (link)
	[ Roxy grins over at Calliope, and finishes off the beer. ] Grape never tastes like grapes, either. Maybe that's purple flavor. A lot of jellos don't taste like actual fruit, but honestly I think that's part of the charm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-09 12:47 am UTC (link)
	[Alas, Calliope is out of her depth with this conversation, suddenly.] Really? Truth be told, I've never actually had real limes before. Or any true Earth fruit! Only Earth fruit candy flavours. ... or any fruit at all, ever, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-05-09 04:52 am UTC (link)
	Guess we'll have to crack out the salt and lime for shots later on then, huh. [She chuckles.] So, right. Shots-- let's get a whole variety. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
