"Well in that case I'm revoking your designated driver status. I officially elect myself as the new designated driver. We brought you here to have fun, and that's what you're going to do. Go ahead and have as many drinks as you deem are needed for the process of enjoying yourself and the time with your compatriots in crime and danger that you call friends." Paul said as he followed Eric to the bar. When he got there he took a seat and ordered a Miller High Life. Seeing as to how he just elected himself the new designated driver, it was the only drink he planned on having this night.

At the count of three Shayna lifted with all her might and helped lift Axel with Eden but the wobblyness she was feeling due to the drinking was leaving her unbalanced and she couldn't get him farther than their table. She nodded to the table and started that way to put him onto the booth there. When they did, Shayna slipped on some sweat she assumed and rubbed where she had hurt before heading outside to get some snow to put down Axel's shirt.

Terrence was never one for large social gatherings and preferred to be either reading or making sure he was on top of the procedure he was learning, but he received a message that Eric was being taken out for a night of fun, so he decided to go see how things were doing. He still didn't plan on being that social and brought along a book to read. He took the bus to the club (or to where the closest stop was) and planned on calling a cab home, unless a drive was offered to him by a sober acquaintance. He decided to be slightly more formal than he usually was and wore a burgundy pinstriped vest over a black dress shirt and burgundy necktie, along with his usual dress pants. After arriving at the place, he showed his ID and then went to find Eric and crew.


Brendan was at an after-concert signing with his bandmates. He didn't plan on being there much longer as he wanted to head to the club where his friends were. It wasn't too far away, but Brendan wanted to change out of his stage uniform first and have a shower as playing a concert can make one a bit sweaty and smell a little off. After signing a few CDs and shaking hands with people who stayed after the show, he took a break to shoot Shayna a text saying he would be at the club after changing and washing up.

"I agree! Tonight is a night of fun!" Skye said in reply to Paul, taking a seat next to Eric. She ordered herself a margarita and planned to let lose a bit as well. It has been a stressful week and a night hanging out with her friends was just what she needed.

((The ratio is thrown off again...NOOOOOO!!!))

Maverick watched out of his peripheral as Shayna and her friends left. A slight sigh of relief washed over him as he sat next to Paul and whispered "thanks" to him. He smiled and Eric and said "Enjoy yourself my friend! The good times are coming." He said as he ordered himself a drink. Tonight is the start of a new chapter!

((No fear! Tammy is here to fix the ratio! I'm just waiting for the character to be ok'ed by Shabtha!))

(Squee! Hi. :3)

Eric sipped the drink idly, feeling the color in his face come back slowly as he did. He seemed to have missed the taste of alcohol, having abstained from it during all of the studying he had been doing during the past few weeks. Of course he knew studying and getting good test scores would be a significant benefit in many aspects of life, but at the same time it was very draining as well. The last two months had just been bad, he thought as he took another sip. The alcohol felt warming and helped take away the cruelties of the world around him. Like how he could have let Shayna into the arms of another man. He remembered feeling like he wasn't good enough, he was drunk, he was insecure, he was too badly in love with her ...
The drink was empty.

Thanks, he had said to Paul when he offered. There was the given that he wouldn't get rambunctiously drunk, but as long as he didn't have to limit himself to watered-down drinks things would be okay. Even so, he would still wait a few minutes before ordering another drink. He had to pay, first of all, and Mission Cheer-up-Eric would be bringing the others down if it lasted much longer. One can't throw a pity party forever. Maybe he should just stop thinking for once and be able to let loose, as his friends would be doing and were encouraging him to do.

Eric pulled his wallet out of his pocket and paid the bartender for the drink, but when he asked if Eric wanted another he shook his head. Maybe getting drunk was what he needed to let go of the past, but for now Eric still wasn't sure if he wanted to take that kind of risk.

Since Axel was still unconscious, Eden decided to stay with him when Shayna went outside. She did wonder briefly what Shayna might be up to outside, and her eyes stayed on the door even as she ordered a second vodka. The green-eyed hawk had noticed that her friend had been wobbly, from both drink and the sight of her ex. The voice began to echo again, and she sipped at her drink in some attempt to quiet it. Drink would quiet the voice, but turn up her temper.
She was frustrated with the other group, who were now arriving en masse. This was supposed to be their night to show Shayna that the past was the past and she could enjoy herself again, and yet they had only ended up devastating her. Could the others at least have the common courtesy of finding their own place to go? Of course, Eden couldn't start an altercation if her friend was still unconscious beside her in the booth. But it didn't mean she didn't want to.

She remembered their tutoring, sure. She'd tried to get into college but had dropped out after only one semester, since even with the help of the academic group she had failed her classes. Not even one English essay, Algebra sheet, or graph had been turned in and because of that her grades had obviously plummeted. Not like she cared. She had never liked school anyway.

((Tammy your pro is accepted smile just on my phone.... ))



Shayna chuckled at herself as she grabbed a ball of snow and went inside. She brought the snow over to axel and shoved part of it down his shirt and glanced at the other group and gave Eden a mischievous smile. The drink had already gotten to her and she took another gulp before wadding the rest of the snow into a ball ans threw it in the group's direction. She didn't stand there for longer than a second before sitting and looking innocent... Enough anyway. She only hoped she had hit one of his friends. But glancing over her snowball seemed to have been aimed at the ex boyfriend himself. She blushed brightly nit exactly meaning too but then smiling at Eden and axel as she took another long sip of her drink.

((Yay! I'm so happy to be rping with you again!))

Esmeralda had already planned to go to the club that night for kareoke, so after work she grabbed a thicker jacket because she saw that is was snowing. Her small apartment was close, so she was walking down the street when she heard the sounds of a snow ball fight happening in the distance. She ran to the sounds and smiled widely once she saw her friends.

"Hey, I know you guys aren't doing a snow battle without me!" she said to Axel, Shayna and Eden. She bent down and wrangled up some of the wet snow that was falling. The snow in the air was falling on her pageboy hat and dusting her blond ponytail.

"Heads up!" She tossed the snowball at Eden.

Axel was still out cold from overheating until Shayna drop a freezing lump snow down his which cooled the boy down just a little too much. So much that Axel jumped out of his seat screaming. The boy ran for the door and tripped over some people who hadn't moved out of his way. Luckily, the street artist landed in more snow to cushion his fall. Once had recovered his senses, he came back inside the bar which compared to outside was a sauna due to all the body heat. Axel returned his seat next to Eden. When he spotted Shayna, he sent ruefully glare her way, but soon softened.

 

[Sivlerwolf14]

((Tammy I think your post is a little off >.>))
Maverick ignored Shayna and her friends, they could do whatever they wanted on their end, though they seemed to be rather drunk already, he snickered to himself as he thought Such lightweights.... then he felt the splash of something cold barely hit his neck and he looked over to see a snowball hit Eric in the back and he rolled his eyes, and whispered to Paul "They are soooo mature..."  

[wolf_with_a_dragon]

Paul simply smiled at Eric's thank you. He really hoped Eric would listen and loosen up a little so that he could really enjoy himself. He also noticed the shenanigans that Shayla and her gang were getting up to, and how intoxicated they were. Two drinks and they're already drunk as hell.he thought to himself as the group ran outside. He was taking another sip of his beer when Maverick whispered something to him. "What did you expect from a group of juvenile delinquents?" he whispered back with a small smirk. "Oh, ignore them Eric old buddy. You aren't going to let a little snow get to you, are you?" he asked Eric as he brushed some of the snow off of Eric's back.

(Before I post for Eden, I want to clear up where the group even is. xD Are they still inside or did they all run out and start pelting each other with snow?

Also, I will post for Eric tommorow because right now I am really tired.)

 

[Leprechaun_Sean]

(I'd also like to clarify something. Axel nowhere near drunk. He doesn't even has a drop of alcohol in his system.)

Brendan waited a small moment for a reply from Shayna and greeted a couple more people during that time. When people cleared out he and his bandmates headed for the change room to get out of their military stage costumes. Brendan quickly washed up and changed into a black short sleeve button-up shirt and blue jeans. He left the collar unbuttoned and the shirt untucked, but slipped on a dark blue necktie, just to be classy. It was a night for cheering up Shayna and he wanted her to know that he cared. They were playing another gig the following night, so all their equipment would just be locked up for the night. Their costumes had to be taken home, soaked, and sprayed though, but one of the group offered to take Brendan's home for the moment so that he could head out without worrying.

Brendan made sure to put on deodorant and a little bit of cologne to mask the rest of his post-performance odor. He then called a cab and took it over to the bar. He hoped he didn't miss out on too much fun already.
