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 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 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)

	"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 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)

	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)

	"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)

	"The one and only. Accept no substitutes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...Probably best not ta invite her to th' weddin'." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-27 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	"There isn't going to be a weddin'. I love him...I think...but it's not goin' anywhere." (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)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-30 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	Maria grumbled. "Of course I do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-30 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	Cat took another shot. "That'sa... that'sa big problem," she said. "...does he know who ya really are?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-30 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes it is and yes. We both know each other in and out of the masks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-09-30 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Yup, you got yourself a hum-dinger of a problem," Cat said. Her brow furrowed. "...And how do ya think he feels about you?" Another thought. Possibly booze originated. "And how awkward would it be if ya invited him to Thanksgivin'?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria spit sprayed her drink. "Are you kidding? Bruce would have a heart attack and then kick me out of the house." She didn't think it would be that bad, but one never knew. "I don't know how he feels about me or what he thinks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-10-03 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	Cat took another drink, blinking a little irregularly. "So yer head over heels... and he might just be out fer a good time," she surmised. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-10-05 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	Maria shrugged. "Possibly. You know me, I always fall for the wrong Mr. Right. This wouldn't be an exception." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cat_fancy 2013-10-05 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Yer taste ain't that..." Cat trailed off. "Okay, I can't finish that truthf'lly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
