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.

	"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)

	That got a laugh. "You don't have to tell me twice. I'm older 'an you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	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)

	"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)

	"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)

	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)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-26 11:32 pm UTC (link)
	Cat laughed, maybe a little louder than she intended. She wasn't quite on her way to drunk. Yet. "Well, we gotta do somethin' about that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-26 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	The waitress brought more drinks and Maria downed one of the shots before the waitress left the table. "I think I may be in love with him," she said. "There you have it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-26 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay, I must be gettin' drunk, because I know I didn't hear that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-26 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	Maria downed her other shot. "Just because I sleep around doesn't mean I can't love a guy." Maria shrugged. "I can't stop thinking about him and I've /tried/ to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-27 12:03 am UTC (link)
	Cat took a shot of her own. "Well, that's a pickle then, kiddo." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-27 12:10 am UTC (link)
	"I know! What's worse is he's the son of Lady Shiva. That'll go over like a ton of bricks." She needed more to drink despite already being drunk. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-27 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, that name penetrated through the growing haze around Cat's brain. "Waitasec... Lady Shiva? The crazy killer chop-sockey lady?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do ya want it to?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-30 01:30 am UTC (link)
	"It wouldn't work out." It would be way too complicated. There were a lot of issues to get past and they both had issues. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-30 11:30 am UTC (link)
	"That weren't what I asked. I asked if ya wanted it too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria grumbled. "Of course I do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
