Ten Rounds With Jose Cuervo (Open)
Irina wasn't one for celebrating her own birthday. She love celebrating others, but for her own she liked to find a dive bar and drink until she was seeing double or triple. Which is exactly what she was doing today, her thirtieth birthday.

She sat in a corner table, back to the wall, with a bottle of Jose Cuervo and a shot glass. She didn't even bother with the salt and lime.

	"I'm not nice," Irina said. "Thank you," she said as she accepted the shot. "I'm not down about being thirty. I just don't like celebrating my birthday in general." "Let's go." She downed the shot and stood up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm sorry to hear that, Irina. I'm a bit of the opposite, regarding birthdays. I've been in situations where I almost didn't get to see another birthday, so I like to celebrate when I can." he grins, grabbing a couple of cues from the wall.

"I'll rack, you break." he says, collecting the balls and racking for her.

"So, what else do you do for fun besides drink well and play pool?" he asks.

	"Don't be sorry. I just was never into it. Even as a kid." She grabbed a pool cue from the rack against the one wall. "Oh the usual. Kick ass, take names." She chuckled. "I'm a member of Champions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've heard of the Champions. You guys do good work. If I'd known I was going to meet someone famous, I'd have worn a suit." he says, finishing the racking and stepping back from the table. "What's the craziest thing you've ever seen in your adventures?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina chuckled. "I'm glad you didn't wear a suit." She leaned over the table and aimed her shot. The cue hit the ball hard and the cue ball hit the triangle of balls with a sharp crack. "Murderworld. Hades. I think they're tied for first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You've seen the actual Hades?" Donovan asks, raising an eyebrow. Anyone who's gone there and come back has to be a bad ass. He was liking Irina a bit more every minute.

"Good shot, but it doesn't look like anything fell. Let me take a look." he says, sighting the yellow 1-ball, near the corner pocket.

"One, corner pocket." he says, tapping the cue ball which bumps the yellow in and stops at the edge.

"What's the most fun place you've ever been to?" he asks.

	"It wasn't fun," she said. "There's a world with endless beaches. It's perfect and my favorite place to go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good to hear. I like the beach, too, but I like the mountains more. My family has a cabin up in Denver. I used to go from time to time, but I haven't in a long time." he says. "I need a real vacation sometime." he laughs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What's stopping you from taking one?" she asked. "Sometimes you just need to get up and go." Granted it was really easy for Irina to go anywhere. "Is your job that demanding?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	punishing_one 2011-07-06 02:46 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, it can be. I have lots of projects going at any time and I sometimes have to finish several of them at once in order to keep things running smoothly. I don't have a lot of room for error." Donovan says. "Although, I admit that working keeps my mind off my other troubles, so it's serves its purpose." Donovan says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What do you do for a living?" Irina asked as she leaned on her cue. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Security." Donovan says automatically, leaning in to take his next shot. He aims for the purple two-ball, but he misses completely.

He steps back so Irina can go.

"As it happens, I'm in town for a couple of days on a job and I had some free time tonight before it starts. I missed celebrating my birthday, so I came out and found some company." he says.

"Do you like being a member of the Champions?" he asks.

	Irina smiled. "Happy belated birthday," she said. "We can celebrate yours and not celebrate mine together." Irina took a moment and lined up her shot. She sank the orange striped five ball in a side pocket. "I do. It's more laid back than the Guard. Do you like being in security?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I do. I feel like I really make a difference in my work, though it's never done." Donovan says, taking a moment to admire Irina has she lined up her shot. "Were you in the military? You just said the 'Guard' and it made me wonder." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2011-07-08 12:02 am UTC (link)
	"It really helps to do like what you do," she said and lined up next shot. "Winter Guard." She took her shot and missed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Donovan nodded in approval. "I've heard a little bit about those guys. They do good work from what I hear. How do you go from a government gig to working in America? If I'm not prying. Feel free to tell me to shut the hell up." Donovan says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Long story," she answered. "I'm still a part of the Guard, just on detached duty. Which I am thankful for. Sitting around the palace and following the Tsarina around is not my idea of fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That I can agree with. I've done some guarding for some high-profile types and it's usually a lot of 'hurry up and wait'." Donovan says, lining up his shot.

The blue six ball sits near a side pocket and Donovan calls that shot, dropping it in lightly...followed by the cue ball, a scratch.

"The only thing that gets me through most jobs is my knife collection." he says, stepping back so she can get by.

	"Knife collection, huh? I have a fondness for knives." There were currently four hidden on various parts of her body. "I'd like to see it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I love knives almost as much as I love guns. Actually, I prefer knives more. Well, they're back in my motel room. Play your cards right and you can see them." Donovan teases. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is this 'I'll show you mine if you'll me yours'?" she asked with a grin. "I may even let you try to find the four on me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Now that you mention it, yeah, it is. And believe me, I'm now looking for them intently. Do I get to pat you down before I guess?" he asks, returning the grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2011-07-09 01:14 am UTC (link)
	"You guess and then can pat me down to see if you're right," she said. She placed the cue ball on the table and took her shot. She sank the purple striped fourteen ball. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, first guess...the small of your back." he says, thinking over the other places she might hide them. "One on your...right arm? One at your ankle. And finally...right thigh." Donovan says, trying to be more aware of the way she moves now. It was always easier to spot a gun than a blade, but sometimes, one got lucky. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina put her pool cue down and held her arms out to the sides. "Now to see if you're right." He would find one at the small of her back, one small one in her cleavage and one on her right ankle and one tucked into her left boot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
