GlaDOS walking into a bar certainly sounds like the beginning of a joke, but Caroline was indeed walking into a bar. Not for Science, no. She just really wanted a drink.
Faith handed a patron a beer and grinned at the new face that walked in. "What can I get ya?"
"What is the largest alcohol to water beverage you have?" The woman sat at a bar, looking around.
Faith raised an eyebrow. "You mean proof? Do you want flavor with that or do you just want to get smashed and have a cab later?"
"That. That second thing." She held up her finger like AHAH! "I'm testing my alcohol tolerance. And perhaps take a man or woman home to use for tests have sexual relations with. That. What people do in bars."
Faith smirked. "Wow. Quite the little scientist. Tell ya what, I have some 151-proof Everclear. But I'm gonna mix it with some juice so you can kind of also enjoy some flavor."
"Triumph!" She slapped her hand on the bar, then swiveled on her stool and look around some more. She was restless. There was so much more she could do if she simply had the resources. Why was she even here? She hadn't been in a bar since MIT and she hadn't had sex in longer.
Faith fixed the woman a mixture of orange juice and Everclear. This was definitely going to be an interesting night. She'd do her best to make sure this chick didn't end up with a sleazeball, though. That always sucked.
It might suck for the sleazeball, by the time Caroline was done with him. She picked up the drink and stared at it, as if she could visualize the actual chemical structure. Then she shrugged and took a sip, "Oh that's..that's disgusting!"
She downed the entire glass anyway, and coughed!
"California doesn't allow the sale of the 190-proof variety," Faith said cheerfully. "That stuff takes off varnish."
"Imagine what it does to the intestines." She took out a notepad and made a note to test that, then put it back. "Another, please. I'm Caroline."
"...okay." Faith laughed and fixed another, this time with a higher orange juice to Everclear ratio. "Enjoy."
"Thank you." She took it, drinking it slower, "Do you own this place, or just work here?"
"I just work here," Faith said. This was a strange chick.
"Ah ah.." Caroline wasn't so good at the whole chatting thing, "Its a terrible establishment. No offense. The decor is horrendous."
That was...true. And also kind of funny. "Would you have said that if I'd said I owned it?"
Caroline smiled at her, "Yes. Only I wouldn't have been as tactful."
"Hey, at least you're honest." Faith held up her hands. "So what made you pick tonight for you binge experiment?"
"Long day at work," She replied. Most of it spent trying to figure out where the hell Alma had disappeared to. Dr. Wade had not been pleased that his little projectgirl had gone missing.
There had also been the incident with the badgers but that was neither here nor there.
Faith nodded. "Yeah, work can be a bitch."
She knew; she also waited tables.
"Do men often grope you?" Caroline leaned over, peering down Faith's shirt.
"They often try. And I often make them bleed if they manage to. And I get them bounced out." Faith was surprised at how blunt this woman was. Kind of weird. But kind of funny.
"That is amazing! That is so amazing. You're rather pretty. Stop swimming. Are we underwater?" She peered at Faith, then into her glass.
"No, but I think you found out how much it takes for you to get kind of wasted," Faith said. "And thanks. You ain't bad lookin' yourself."
Caroline waggled her glass for more, "I don't really try. Everythin' goes to shience. Do you want to eshpirment?"
Faith chuckled. "Maybe when you're sober," she said.
"Ish zat sho?" She tapped the bar with a finger, impatiently, "I'll remember zat. Jush you waitshe."
At that, Caroline tried to stand. She'd be back to collect on Faith's promise - and she was taking it as a promise. For now, she just needed to remember how to stand.
Faith motioned to a bouncer to come steady the woman. "I'm gonna call you a cab now. Tell me where you live and I'll have the cab drop you off."
"Uhm. I live in a lab." She snickered, then found her wallet, "Address here. Right here. Address. Hey wanna come home with me and be esphirmented on?"
Faith chuckled. "If you wanna wait till I'm done here, I will go home with you and help you to bed and see if you're still interested when you wake up. How's that sound?"
"Wow...wow yous are sho good at your job." She patted Faith on the shoulder, "Thashounds good!"
Faith laughed. She really didn't expect the woman to be interested when she was sober, but at least she knew she'd get the woman home safe.
As she was led outside, Caroline started humming a tune>. She didn't know if she'd be interested either, but she never backed down from an experiment.
