was my dance pattern right, was my dance pattern wrong?

[totallyinaband]

When; Thursday night
Rating; pg-13, edging on the more adulty stuff depending how drunk everyone gets :-D
Characters; Stephen, Eames, Summer, Lucy, Campbell, AND ANYONE ELSE EVER. GATE CRASHERS SO WELCOME
Summary; A number of people try to teach Stephen Stills the subtleties of picking up guys and having fun.






[So... this was a spectacularly bad idea. Stephen hates all his friend and will kill them all come morning. In the mean time, at least this places has a regular and steady supply of booze. He tries to get the bartender's attentions over the various throngs of people order ridiculously complex cocktails.]

Hey! Could I get a pitcher of something? I'm really not picky.

[Lucy is dressed appropriately (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=36816210) for dancing and showing Stephen how to pick up guys. Yes, that is a dress. The whole dress. She laughs at Stephen and shakes her head, then stands on the foot rails of the barstool in order to get closer to the bartender. She orders her own drink, a cup cake martini, and manages to get Stephen's pitcher of beer by showing as much cleavage and leg as she possibly can without being indecent.]

There's an art to this, Stephen. We've got to teach you that art.

[totallyinaband]

Aren't you cold?

[Lucy sticks her tongue out at him.] I'm not going to be when I'm dancing.

[totallyinaband]

Seriously. That thing is like, mostly holes.

[Stephen's actually been forced to wear his only non-plaid or western shirt.. He's not even wearing jeans. It's a pretty big deal.]

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

[She shimmies and laughs then puts her arm around his neck.]

You look really good, too, Stephen.

[signatures]

[ Eames, while remaining astute in his labeling of being a terrible person, is mostly here for the joy ride and drinks. He gives Stephen a pointed look, either way. ]

Weren't we moving past being a- frosh?

[totallyinaband]

Sure. This time I'm not wearing a t-shirt with a humiliating nick-name on the back. It's a huge move forward.

[totallyinaband]

I didn't say you looked good.

[He's just being grumpy. He puts an arms around her waist too.]

[signatures]

Should I ask for clarification, or leave it alone?

[totallyinaband]

I'd go for the latter.

[signatures]

My curiosity leads me toward the former. I'm not nearly so generous, you know.

[totallyinaband]

They give all the frosh nicknames and write them on the backs of your shirts, and that's what you get called all week. Don't bother asking, I don't remember. It was five years ago, now.

[signatures]

You can't- [ He pauses for a moment, then decides that no, actually, not remembering would make sense, considering. ]

Fair enough, then.

[totallyinaband]

Thanks for coming along, man. I had a feeling this was going to turn into an estrogen party.

[signatures]

No need to thank me. I could have gone for a few drinks, anyway- even if this sort of place isn't quite my style. [ There's a brief flick of his lips, here, which he passes with a sip of his drink. ]

I can't stay all night, however.

[totallyinaband]

Why, need to run home?

[signatures]

I've no real interest in seeing your friends when they've had too much to drink. [ It's an easy counter, mostly harmless. ]

But it is Thursday night and some of us have to work in the morning.

ffffffffff Eames your Jaded Old Lady is showing again

[totallyinaband]

At least you have an out there. Lucy made sure to check my schedule before she picked a date so I wouldn't have an excuse.

/TUCKS IT BACK IN :(

[signatures]

Lucy is likely of the opinion you're the one in need of strengthening a certain social skill set.

[totallyinaband]

It seems to be a popular opinion lately.

[Campbell has a pint. It's his second. Though it's his third drink, he also had something random with an umbrella because he really wanted a tiny umbrella. Sidling through the crowds back over to Stephen, he grins widely at him and claps a friendly arm around his shoulders.]

So how's it goin' so far, my man?

[totallyinaband]

As good as I expected considering this is my first beer.

[loonyandproud.livejournal.com]

That's your first beer? Are you maybe no missin' the point a' this?

[totallyinaband]

Why, what's the point?

[Short pause.]

Do you have an umbrella in your beer?

[thewildone]

[Curt is probably the one person qualified to give relevant advice or instruction, although at the same time depending on how drunk he gets that could be a really terrible idea. But for now he doesn't actually know why they're all here, he just saw what Lucy was wearing and kind of followed.]

So what's the deal with tonight? I mean, why are we suddenly going out and why is everyone kind of staring at you?
