…are you sure? What’s the drinking age here? 

[carastfu]

Relax, I checked before my flight. It's 18.

[auroraxcalderpl-deactivated2014]

Well yes, I did. I’ll only do it if it’s legal. 

I don’t want to be arrested in a foreign country.

[carastfu]

You won't get arrested.

[auroraxcalderpl-deactivated2014]

Uhm..but…I don’t want to make bad decisions..

[carastfu]

It all depends on your definition of 'bad decisions.' Didn't you come to Australia to have fun and try new things?

[auroraxcalderpl-deactivated2014]

I uh…have never had alcohol either. I’ve always been DD for my friends.

[carastfu]

Um... okay, I'm taking you out tomorrow night. No objections.

[auroraxcalderpl-deactivated2014]

I’m pretty sure I’d remember my first kiss. 

[carastfu]

Unless you were, like, drunk off your ass or something.

[auroraxcalderpl-deactivated2014]

Uh….I haven’t even been kissed sooooo…

[carastfu]

... Never? Are you sure?

[auroraxcalderpl-deactivated2014]

Ohhh, that’d be fancy. Then you could dress up and go on dates. I quite imagine I’d like a date. 

[carastfu]

You've been on plenty of dates, right?

[avelinefck-deactivated20140115]

Making the moola all day everyday, right? No seriously though, what’s with you now a days?

[carastfu]

I figured those damsel-in-distress Disney movies were bullshit and wanted to go out of my way to prove it. Yeah, that's basically it.

[auroraxcalderpl-deactivated2014]

He’s great, really. Ohhh, that sounds neat! Lemme know what you find. 

[carastfu]

Will do. I might even get you some hot Australian guys' numbers.

[avelinefck-deactivated20140115]

What, have turned into a stripper?

[carastfu]

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. Now we can finally work together.

[auroraxcalderpl-deactivated2014]

I do! I’m gunna watch movies with my new friend, Alec! We’re ordering chinese food and what not. What about you?

[carastfu]

Oh, I've met Alec. He seems pretty sweet. If the rain clears up, I'm probably going to walk around and see what I can find.

[amity-jackson]

It kind of sounds fun, though—jogging in the rain. I might be wrong.

[carastfu]

If your idea of fun is almost getting hit by cars who can't see you in the pouring rain, then yes, it's fun.

[auroraxcalderpl-deactivated2014]

Oh! I bet it wont look bad or frizzy, the humidity isn’t too bad!

[carastfu]

Hopefully.

So do you have any plans for today, Sydney?

[auroraxcalderpl-deactivated2014]

That…sucks. I’m sorry. Do you want me to grab you some towels or something? 

[carastfu]

Oh, that's sweet - but I'm fine. I suppose I can deal with some frizzy hair for one day.

[amity-jackson]

It’s a pleasure to meet you too.

How’s Australia treating you so far?

[carastfu]

Fairly well. Except I wasn't expecting rainfall today, so my morning jog became more of a second shower.

[auroraxcalderpl-deactivated2014]

Ohh…didn’t you…hear it or something? 

[carastfu]

Obviously not. I guess I was too hell-bent on Australia having perfect weather to realize.

[amity-jackson]

You’ve waited for too long.

[carastfu]

I have. Anyways, I'm Cara. Pleasure to meet you.
