midnight answer;

[they call me firecracker cause ain't nobody faster.] 27. Bartender. 2nd Gen.

[johns-ryan]

Ryan chuckled. “Well, I’m glad you aren’t a drunk bastard then.”

[lanabeaumont]

"Me too, Ryan. Me too." She shifted in her seat and adjusted her belt. "So, what do you do for work? You don't have to tell, but I'm curious."

[johns-ryan]

"I’m not really sure. But it happens. Maybe because I stand out a bit in a crowd." Ryan motioned with his hand about his height. "Drunk guys wanting to prove something see me, and it’s like red to a bull." 

[lanabeaumont]

"If I were a poor drunk bastard, I might be afraid of you stealing my girl," she laughed. "I guess they could see you as threatening. I don't know."

[original-vincent-smith]

He grinned and focused more on the woman as his arm slipped around her waist. “Your wish is my command.” He altered the woman’s memory to make her think her friend dropped a glass. Then gave her a push to slap her, amping up the anger on both.

[lanabeaumont]

A smile crept onto her face as she watched the the women become hysterical with each other. She placed her hand over his and leaned in to rest her head on his shoulder. "You certainly know how to work the ladies, don't you, Vincent?"

A Drink or Seven // Charles + Lana

[atalantaa]

Charles followed her as his mind began to realize where she was taking him. A few drinks ago, he would have not let it go this far. But the booze made it all the more easy to say yes. “I think so,” he said with a devious smile.

[lanabeaumont]

"Wonderful," she grinned, stepping back for him. After looking around to be sure nobody else had needed their room, Lana closed the door and switched the lock. "Now," she spoke, turning around slowly to face him. "Won't you tell me what you like?"

[april-astor]

Back to the Grind || April + Lana

[april-astor]

"And you never know what you might see in here." She lightly chuckled and ran a hand through her hair. "You know." April took a long drag of her cigarette before putting it out in one of the ashtrays. "I’ve been living here for a year and working here for even longer and I’ve never even been to the spa."

[lanabeaumont]

"What?" Lana was surprised; if she could live so close to Shangri-La, she'd try and be there at least once a month. "Dude, you should really try it sometime. It's amazing how they can untangle knots you didn't even know you had."

[johns-ryan]

"I’ve had a wonderful evening. So far no one has tried to fight with me or thrown up on me, it’s been a good night. What about you?"

[lanabeaumont]

"Of all my weeknights, this one has been pretty sweet. But... why would anyone try to fight you?"

[original-vincent-smith]

"Almost anything I want." Vincent chuckled and put his arm around her. "What would you like me to do?"

[lanabeaumont]

"Hmmmmm..." she thought about the possibilities. "I wanna see a little catfight. Can you make her think it was her friend's fault?"

[atalantaa]

A Drink or Seven // Charles + Lana

[atalantaa]

"Yes ma’am." He stood and followed her, wondering if he should have gotten himself into this. Well, what was done was done.

[lanabeaumont]

She led him through the bar's lounge and dining room to the back of the building, where she found a private room that hadn't been occupied. Before letting him into the room, she hung in the doorway, raising a hand to feel his chest. "You know what comes next, don't you, sir?"

[rachelxteer]

Friday Night Dancing || Rachel + Lana

[rachelxteer]

Yes! Finally, a dance partner. I don’t mind at all. Let’s go then! Lead the way.

[lanabeaumont]

"Alrighty, lemme just get my keys and we'll be set."

[johns-ryan]

Ryan took her hand and gave it a shake. “Ryan. It’s nice to meet you Lana.” 

[lanabeaumont]

"Same to you, Ryan. So, are you having a good night?"

[johns-ryan]

"Even with that in mind, I really hope she’s had her shots."

[lanabeaumont]

"She looks pretty well off-- I'm sure she's up to date on her doctor's visits." She smiled and offered him her hand. "I'm Lana, by the way."

[a-versatile-world-deactivated20]

[original-vincent-smith]

"Watch this."

[Vincent pushes the girl to think she’s stepping on glass and uses his empathy to make her freak out.]

[lanabeaumont]

Lana watched as the tipsy woman threw a fit in the middle of her party, causing the other members to swarm around her in concern. She was thoroughly entertained. 

"Holy shit. What else can you do with them?"

[atalantaa]

A Drink or Seven // Charles + Lana

[atalantaa]

"Interesting." He smirked and downed the rest of his drink. "Show me."

[lanabeaumont]

"Wonderful," she smiled, then lifted the door to step out from behind the bar. She reached out to take his hand in hers. "Follow me."

[atalantaa]

A Drink or Seven // Charles + Lana

[atalantaa]

And why would you ever do that?

[lanabeaumont]

"Well, I think it would be much easier to just demonstrate. I've been off the clock for a half hour, anyway. What do you say, sir?"

[original-vincent-smith]

"Or we could have a little fun with her."

[lanabeaumont]

"We totally could."
