Who: Everyone!
What: Drinking!
When: March 3rd
Where: The Blue Light
Rating: Let's say R (I'll edit if... things happen)

Note(s): Party time!  Tag all over the place, threadjack, make new friends, forget new drinking buddies--have fun!


There are a number of bars in the City.  The Blue Light is one of the busier ones and, on the weekends, it's at its busiest. 

This Saturday is no exception.  Drinking, dancing, flirting--if it's legal, it's happening (and if it's questionably legal, it's probably happening more discretely; this is one of the nicer bars the City has to offer, after all).  Whether you're a social drinker on a night out with your friends, a hardcore partier who habitually clears your Sunday schedule, or just there to drink the last of the desert away, you'll be in good company.

This is Peter's first bar of the night. His goal - as usual - is to get as drunk as possible. And he's off to a good start. Several empty shot glasses are in front of him.

"BARKEEP!" he shouts. "MORE!"

[othersdie]

Justin drinks. This isn't a secret to Neil and Todd, but the other two don't typically come along on bar excursions--or drink, for that matter. After the desert ordeal, however, Justin took the initiative to talk them into joining him at the Blue Light.

He claims a table off to one side for them.

The desert thing was hard, okay? And Buffy has a new room mate and she could use a drink or six. The life of a slayer is hard so she's there and she's dressed up and she's actually full of confidence about the way she looks.

Of course that could be the three shots of tequila she did immediately upon arriving at the bar.

Did you see this girl come in with Tommy? She did. It happened. Upon spotting Justin though, she makes her way over to him with a smile.

"Hi, Justin. I didn't think I'd see you here."

Of all the bars in the City, the Blue Light is the one Neil is likeliest to frequent-- though since Blue left it hasn't been a common occurrence. A night out is nice, though, now and then, and Justin making the invitation is worth supporting.

"Busy night," he murmurs, slipping into his seat and glancing back at Todd.

[othersdie]

Oh, Justin sees Euphie walk in with Tommy. He'll pretend he didn't, though. Acknowledging that that happened would be acknowledging the very real possibility (certainty, even) that he doesn't have a chance with Euphie. He didn't come to the bar to embrace the disappointments of reality, thank you.

He smiles back (it might look more like a grimace or a tic, but it's a smile, really). "Euphie. Hi. I didn't expect to see you here, either. Do you...? Can I buy you something?"

[deadly_legacy]

Euphie isn't exactly the bar type or the drinking type. In fact she probably looks a little out of place in her dress and long, pink hair, quaffed as it is behind her ears. Still, she enjoys spending time with Tommy. Not that it's a date. Much. And she likes talking to others, so she's here doing both and maybe there will be a drink or two too.

In an unbroken tradition of teenaged owners - Edmund owns the bar. He's sitting behind the bar, watching the crowd, surveying. After all the sand he was a little surprised to see it back, but pleased, too - after all, this bar may not be his the way it belonged to the original owner, but it's his now, a memory of his brother and Caspian.

He is definitely comfortable where he is.

[deadly_legacy]

She will accept this expression as a good thing. She giggles softly. "Like a lamp?"

[valentineluke]

Not a bar Luke had any real reason to visit before. But tonight he feels like trying some place different.

Entering, he spies a familiar face - Doctor Ten's - newcomer's the third one to wear it. Those features combined with exuberance in placing an order remind him a bit of absent Myrnin.

Edges closer to observe the other man.

Lucy has been moping. Her best friend went home and her flat turned to glass and she's just not done well. All of this means that she needs a night out. Lucky for her, she's fairly self aware and she's dressed up in something bright and very short, done her hair and dragged herself to the Blue Light. She's the blonde at the bar drinking mint juleps. Come say hi.

[othersdie]

"More like a drink." But she did make him smile properly. "Although if you want a lamp..."

[dudeimbatman]

Dean always needs a drink. It's one of those constant things with him, so he's there at the bar with a glass of scotch and he's kind of annoyed at all these new people showing up. Come say hi to Mr. Grumpy Pants! He won't mind. Really.

[deadly_legacy]

"That's sweet." It really is. "I think Tommy was going to get me one though. A drink. Not a lamp."

[othersdie]

"Oh." He suddenly finds his drink very interesting and, feigning cluelessness, asks, "Who's Tommy?"

[othersdie]

Well, if it isn't the head of the police department. Not that Justin's surprised; he comes here occasionally to brood in his corner, so he's seen Dean around. He cautiously approaches Dean.

"I need to talk to you."

[deadly_legacy]

"Tommy Shepherd." She looks around to see if she can point him out. "He has white hair. He's actually Billy's twin if you know him. Except for the hair color. And they have different powers."

[deadly_legacy]

But is he annoyed by this new person sliding up beside him? "Can I buy you a drink?"

[othersdie]

"I don't know either of them. Are you--is he your..." Justin gestures vaguely, apparently hoping Euphie will find some meaning in their meaninglessness. "Are you together?"

[deadly_legacy]

"We came together." But she doesn't think that's really what he means. "I'm not sure... We haven't really talked about it."

[othersdie]

What does that even mean? Justin frowns at his drink and replies with the tried-and-tested, "Oh." It never fails him in situations where he has no idea what to say.

[deadly_legacy]

It means she doesn't know either. "He's nice and very fast." This would be an example of Euphie not knowing what to say.

Judith doesn't typically drink, but that doesn't stop her from wandering into bars on occasion. This one happened to catch her attention tonight, for whatever reason. Walking in, she's a bit surprised to notice someone she knows. She walks over a Justin, a characteristic small smile on her face.

"I wasn't expecting to see any familiar faces in here."

[lovelydragoon]

Judith rarely drinks, but tonight she's at the bar nonetheless. For the moment she's sitting alone, sipping at what remains of some mixed drink or another, casually watching the rest of the inhabitants of the bar.

If you're drinking for fun then you're not taking it seriously enough. However, even the serious drinkers have their good nights. Chase has made a start before stopping in at this point on the crawl, but for once he's in a good mood with it - miraculously (nearly literally) recovered from the dengue fever, making easy conversation with the girl behind the bar to the detriment of anyone else waiting to be served.
