Girl Talk
"Drinks are on me tonight," Maria said as she leaned back in the chair after grabbing some pretzels from the bowl in the middle of the table. She needed a night to kick back and relax with some female company. So of course she invited Cat. Cat was one of the few of her female friends who could keep up, probably pass for that matter, Maria in drinks. Not to mention she needed the company of a female who has had some of the same life experiences as Maria. Alina and Dinah were good friends, but they weren't ones to walk on the wild side of life.

	Maria grinned. "I got it covered." "Yes we do!" Maria said adding her voice to Cat's. "Many more!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cat laughed and looked at the already empty drinks. "I'm ahead by two, by the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Three shots for me and one for her," Maria told the waitress when she came over. "Beers for both of us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Speakin' of bein' ahead," Cat said, "when am I gonna get you down to the gym for sparring again? You almost lasted three whole rounds last time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It was four rounds," Maria said. "Anytime you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pretty sure it was three." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It was four," Maria said before downing a shot. "I know how to count and I'm not that drunk yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-23 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	Cat took another shot. "If you say so, hon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-23 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	"I do." Maria did a shot, then followed it with the other two shots. "There. We're even." Her head was swimming. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cat showed no signs of needing to slow down. "You doin' all right, there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-23 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Just fine. Gettin' my drunk on." Maria grinned. "Isn't that the objective of the night?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-24 12:10 am UTC (link)
	"Well, make sure you don't overdo it," Cat said. "Cause I ain't getting your drunk ass back home on my bike." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-24 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Please! When was the last time I over did it?" A pause. "Don't answer that." Maria grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, it's so hard to pick just one..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I haven't had a drunk on like that in a long time. This growing older and being responsible kind of sucks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-24 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	That got a laugh. "You don't have to tell me twice. I'm older 'an you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-25 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	Maria signaled the waitress for more drinks. "I'm working more than I ever have. That's not including my night job. It's so not like me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-25 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Heard about some of the trouble you folks been having," Cat said. "You know if you need a hand, I can always come on down." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-25 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	"I will, but it's nothing we can't handle. Joker's back among the living. However, someone finally picked up the cape and cowl." The waitress brought another two shots for each of the women. Maria picked one up and downed it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-25 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	Cat downed a shot of her own. "Did he now?" she asked. "Good fer him." "Probably don't have to worry about Sin or Barbie kissin' him, like Ms. Dinah did the old man." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-25 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	Maria nodded. "Yeah. I think he's seeing someone, but he's being all secretive about it and I've been too busy to do some snooping." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-25 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Could always ask Di to go through his e-mail and phone records," Cat suggested. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-25 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't need Di for that. I can do that myself, but I respect his privacy. Besides, I don't need him snooping into my personal life." Maria did another shot and signaled for another round. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-26 12:04 am UTC (link)
	Cat signaled for some wings on top of that. Even with her tolerance, some food was needed. "Oh?" she laughed. "You got some big secrets I don't know about?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-26 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Maaaaybe," she said with a goofy grin. Maria was clearly drunk now. A few shots in quick succession did that. She signaled for more drinks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
