[ 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?

	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)

	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)

	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)

	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)

	[ 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)

	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)

	retrogame 2013-05-10 04:08 am UTC (link)
	[ Roxy stands up, and starts walking off in the direction of the bar. ] I'll get us a little bit of everything. Just wait there, I'll be back real quick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-10 04:13 am UTC (link)
	Okay! [She folds her gloved hands, one over the other on the table, and looks at Rebecca.] So... tell me a bit about yourself, love? What do you like to do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ah, well. I work tech support so I'm a total techie. [She grins, sliding back against her seat and sipping her beer.] Touch screens, keyboards, anything with a sleek case and some good hardware is right up my alley. Though tied with that's one of my other favorite things! Sports, especially the extreme kind.

Snowboarding with a little jump outta a helicopter type thing? Heh.

	[Calliope understood until she got to the last part.] That sounds- extreme! [But she smiles wider as she decides to continue with the stuff she actually does get.] I can see why you and Roxy have become fast friends. She's always loved that sort of thing. You two likely have a lot to talk about! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2013-05-10 07:35 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, we're techie buds. What about you? Are you a fellow computer nerd by any chance? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-05-10 02:58 pm UTC (link)
	[The cherub shakes her head.] No, no. I don't use computers for much more than chatting and drawing. I've tried to follow all the technical stuff, but it's beyond me and my patience. Best to leave that stuff to Roxy and Dirk. And people like you, of course! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Roxy is returning with a tray stacked with shots. Most of them are green and she's got some salt and tequila and limes as well. She settles it down on the table, and takes her seat once more. ]

Heeey. Look at all this shit. We got our staple meal and our desserts. A little bit of everything.

[ Whispering: ] I wanna steal a shot glass. I'm gonna steal a shot glass. They're a funny shape and I gotta have one.

I wonder if it'd be considered stealing if there's no method of payment optional. Or reimbursement. [Rebecca ponders, elbows on the table with her eyes dropping to the tray of shots. She's neither supportive of the idea or trying to steer Roxy away from it; in fact she's downright neutral.

But she is reaching to nudge a cool shot glass with her finger.] Should we just down 'em or do some sort of game?
