Who: Open to anyone who wants to party. Multiple threads welcome.
What: Faith's birthday
Where: Some seedy bar that's near a strip club probably
When: Tonight
Warnings: Cursing, drinking and god knows what else

Faith wasn't sure what actual birthday it was supposed to be, but she didn't care. She was going to get completely wasted. She wasn't sure who was showing up or whatever, but she was at the bar, and doing shots. It was definitely time to party. There were people dancing, but Faith had to be a little liquored up for that. The place wasn't all that bad, it could have been better but whatever. A bar was a bar to her.

As she grabbed a drink, she turned to whomever had joined her and held up her glass. "Bottoms up!" and then she took her shot with a huge grin on her face. Maybe it wouldn't be a shitty birthday.

	Giles felt more than a little awkward being, at least from appearance, the oldest in the group. He felt like a fuddy duddy who really shouldn't be here, but Faith looked happy enough with him being here. She made her 'toast' and he took his own shot in his hand, still feeling very old, and downed the shot. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	There wasn't any reason for him to feel awkward, but she got why he would. Fuddy duddy's were totally not Giles. She grinned and waved for another round. "Are you going to actually try to out drink me? Because I'd like to see that." She passed him another one when the shots came. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Giles grinned, "I probably shouldn't. I wouldn't want to make you look bad on your birthday." He knew he shouldn't challenger her, more for the reason that he wasn't that young and hangovers tended to have a bit worse than they use to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Aw G-man, you know you couldn't make me look bad. I always look good." She winked and took her next shot. That was better. "That doesn't mean you're gonna sit around and do nothin, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Giles took his own shot when she did. Probably best if he didn't respond to the first part. "I guess I really shouldn't back down from a challenge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Faith certainly wouldn't mind. "No you shouldn't. Come on. What else is there to do? And it's my birthday." She nudged him a bit with her elbow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, since it's your birthday." He called for the next shot, still feeling steady. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wrongchosenone 2011-12-17 07:24 am UTC (link)
	She grinned brightly at him. "Now that's what I like to hear." When the shots came, she handed him his and raised it up. "Cheers." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shalliglare 2011-12-17 05:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Cheers," he responded, raising and taking his own shot. "Happy Birthday." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They were going to get so drunk. "Thanks Giles. I'm glad you're here." It was one of those rare times where she could admit things. She kind of wanted to dance, but she didn't want to leave him there by himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shalliglare 2011-12-18 06:01 am UTC (link)
	Giles grinned, shrugging. "Thank you for inviting me. It was this or avoiding my house and the bizarreness that is Spike and Buffy." He saw her looking at the dance floor. "You can go dance if you'd like, I can wait here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wrongchosenone 2011-12-18 06:39 am UTC (link)
	"Any time you want to go drinking, I'm your gal." Faith made a face at the mention of Spike and Buffy. "They couldn't wait till it wasn't my birthday, I guess but fuck em." Except not like that. Eww. She looked back at the dance floor again. "You sure?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shalliglare 2011-12-18 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	"We can't really control when the vortex takes us," he shrugged. It was agar timing, but there wasn't much they could do about it. "I may have to take you up on the offer, though maybe not drinks next time." "Please, be my guest. It's your night." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He had a point, but that didn't mean she had to like it. "You mean.. go out?" she asked curiously, before glancing over at the floor. "Hold that thought. I'll be back in a couple minutes." One dance, maybe two. Then she'd come back to find out what the heck he was talking about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It took Giles a minute to realize what Faith was saying and by that time she was on the dance floor. He had meant patrolling or training or something like that. He never had these issues with Buffy, he'd always thought of her more like a daughter. Faith didn't really let him think that way. He watched her dance, turning toward his drink before long. He really had been thinking training or patrolling.

Of course he'd meant that. But Faith couldn't help but wonder. It wasn't wrong if they went out. To get food or something. Not that she would think of it as some kinda thing, because Faith didn't do dates. At all. But she didn't think of Giles as her dad. Definitely not. In any case, she danced for a couple of songs, until she really needed a drink and then came on back.

"What are we drinking now?" she asked him with a smirk.

	"Whatever the good bartender brings our way." He handed her the drink. He shifted a little awkwardly. He didn't want to bring up what she said before dancing away. Change of subject maybe. "Aside from her absence tonight, you and Buffy do seem to be getting along well." Seeing as last he had heard she stole Buffy's body and then ran off to L.A. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's the way I like it." Random and whatever was good. Meant that she didn't have to keep drinking the same thing. She liked a surprise. Maybe Faith had forgotten about the whole thing. Her shoulder shrugged a bit. "Should we not be? I mean, I figured me and B worked out all our shit." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Giles toasted her as he took a drink. "You just hadn't worked it all out when I came from. It's all, well, confusing. I'm glad you have. Worked it out." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh. Right. I always forget that everyone isn't from the same.. time as I am." And that she was older than everyone now because she came from a time period where he.. ugh. She didn't want to think about that. "Yeah we're five by five. Don't worry about a thing. It's just weird cause where I'm from.. you and I are.. closer." She shrugged some. (Reply to this) (Parent)
