"Welcome to the party, Holly. We drink only the strongest of liquor here at the drinking games," Gwen passed a shot to Holly, taking one herself.

Just then another beautiful tribute approached the bar and introduced herself. "Nice to meet you Holly! I'm currently Demetri (he shot Blue a glance) until further notice." Demetri grabbed the nearest bottle and poured a tall shot glass and handed it to Holly. Nearby the bartender, finally giving up on the group, threw up her hands and walked away. "What shall we drink to?"

Val was glad that Gwen had chimed in again. Truth be told she enjoyed people with a blunt yet cheerful attitude like her and Gwen and Demetri filled that role to a T.
"Well Gwen, Beardly over here," she motioned to Demetri, "seems to be a strapping young lad." She continued loud enough for Demetri to hear, "Maybe you should turn your charm his way."
She watched as Dante made his way slowly away but when he returned for his drink she made a point of talking to him, "Hey, it was really nice chatting with you. I'm sorry I tend to talk over people sometimes..."
"HOLLY, you made it!" she laughed, "These are my new friends: Gwen, Dante, and Beardly!"

"A smoke date sounds perfect," she said to Demetri, "Now I just have to find some smokes."
"I say we drink to the Capitol!," she declared, "they may be plotting our deaths but at least they make sure the drinks flow!"
Her sarcasm game had never been stronger.

"Don't think I haven't noticed, Val," Gwen said, giving her a wink. "But if things don't work out with him perhaps we'll go to the roof and have a little chat."
Gwen lifted her glass, "How about we drink to not giving a shit?"

"Just an innocent little chat?" she smirked
Val raised her glass, "TO NOT GIVING A SHIT!"

"To not giving a SHIT!" Dante downed his drink with a smile and eyed his empty glass...
"Hey, everyone. Let's make this the real Drinking Games! We all take turns with shots, last one standing is the victor!"
Reaching behind the bar, Dante grabbed a thick bottle engraved its emblem: Snow's Private Reserve. Not waiting for an answer, he poured a shot into his glass and quaffed it.

"Pfft, I said a chat, but I didn't make no mention of how innocent it would be," Gwen gave Val a once over before downing her drink.
"I like the way you think, Dante!" Gwen said, taking another shot.

Despite herself Val felt herself blush a little but she was sure it was hidden by the redness her skin had already acquired from the drinks she'd had.
"You're on!" she bluffed as she slid her shot glass to be filled by Dante.
She raised the shot to her lips and downed it knowing that she probably wouldn't be able to handle much liquor.
But she was certainly gonna try her damndest. She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Beardly after apparently gaining his favor.

It burned her throat but it definitely didn't hit her as hard as she thought it would.
"ANOTHER!" she called out excitedly.1d10

Can't let myself get drunk. Dehydrating myself isn't the smartest move. Then again, neither is making enemies, even if only minor ones.
"Thanks, Gwen."
Holly downed the shot, it burned her throat and she struggled to not let it show. Damn, what the hell was THAT?
Sputtering now she managed to speak once more, "..It's, *ahem* nice to meet you all. Beardly, is it? Huh, that's an interesting name. But, if you prefer Demetri I guess I can oblige."
Holly winked and smiled. Finally relaxing, she perched herself on a seat near the others.

"Loser has to steal the cigarettes... from Vester!" Demetri threw one back.

Pouring everyone a round of her now beloved sparkly liquor she responded to Demetri's challenge. "Psh, petty theft? Loser has to attend said cigarette smoking event in the nude!"
She glanced around at all of her new friends, "Obviously you're all invited. You don't have to smoke. It'd be nice to get the ol' gang back together."

That one went down much smoother. She was getting used to this...

"Oh, dang. My mouth!"
Dante looked wildly at Gwen. "You have stronger drinks at home?!"
Dante poured another shot into his glass. Hope this mellows out soon. He thought, as the liquor burned its way down his throat.

Another drink appeared before Holly.
Well, shit.
"Bottoms up, boys and girls! Thanks, Beardly." Holly said, flashing a grin.

"See!" Val exclaimed excitedly!
Its a good nickname, "Beardly!" She grinned.
She noticed Holly seem to recoil slightly at the shot. It must have hit her hard...

"I might take you up on the smoke break," Gwen said, knocking back another drink and laughing at Dante's aversion to hard alcohol.

She shook her head. That one had a kick to it.
Gwen took a moment to glance around the room, taking stick of who was where and grabbing pieces of nearby conversation.

Holly laughed, a little too girlishly for the tough exterior she usually liked to maintain.
"Well, it does grow on you."
Holly laughed again, thinking herself hilarious for a moment.
Oh, god. That was awful. Self, maybe lay off the sauce.
Clearing her throat she prayed the next round would be water however unlikely that might be.

"Then lets consider it a party set in stone!" she grinned, "The rooftop tomorrow!"
She noticed Gwen glancing around the room as she prepared herself another shot.

She coughed slightly and then tried to laugh a little to save face.
"Yeah it looks like the rooms really started to die down Gwen," Val said with a twinge of disappointment.
"See anyone interesting left?"
From her otherside she heard a rather girly giggle burst forth from Holly which for some reason was assuring. "Maybe because it meant a real person was behind that tough exterior," she mused internally.
"I'm gonna slow down on the drinks until you all catch up to my THREE," she laughed, "slowpokes..."

"Everyone's in and there's no backing out!" Demetri took another shot.
"All right, sharing time! While you're still slightly sober, what's your story, Holly? What horrible, dirty deed did you commit to get you stuck with the likes of us?"

"Yeah, If you don't mind me asking where did you learn those old habits?" she asked inquisitively with only a slight slur.

With that strong of a drink coursing through her, Holly considered having another. A dozen bottles decorating the table in front of them, all of them smiling and laughing. Her walls came down and she thought to herself, I could be like them. Have fun.
Reaching under Gwen's arm as she took another shot Holly grabbed an ornate bottle of liquor. Raising it up she saw sparkling pieces swirling inside.
Fuck it.

Demetri's question caught her off guard. She sputtered again.
Christ, this is getting embarassing.
"No story. Or rather, same as most from District 2. *hic* I wouldn't want to use the dirty little word - Career. But it's what I am... I suppose that fits. I've heard bits and pieces from others in passing tonight, seems a lot of us were chosen this year as a punishment. But then, I wouldn't say I did anything wrong."
*hic*
"And what's your story?"

Holly reached under Gwen's arm to grab another bottle. She was rather pretty this close up. With the recent drinks coursing through her she thought why not since she missed her chance earlier. Gwen landed a quick peck on Holly's cheek as she was starting to pull back. She turned her attention back to Val.
"Hah, years of being alone on the streets. If your not the strongest or the smartest you have to get an edge otherwise. Turns out I'm better at listening than most people."

Val Pouted.
Val never pouted.
She hoped it was cute.
"That's not fair Gwen," she laughed, "that's my whole schtick!"
She drunkenly considered this for a moment, "But that's ok because we're friends."
"Yep perfect logic," she thought to herself.
She sobered up a bit as she thought back on her past. "I'm from District 8, Gwen. Sometimes it feels like all we have are factories and alleyways." She paused briefly before continuing, "If you don't learn how to gather information and figure out who best to sell it to you're never gonna have a full belly."
((OOC: I hope the gamemaster lets us keep drinking past the 11 o'clock cutoff. We may have to move to another board. Maybe one of our bedrooms?))
