"I never said approval," Alex quickly corrected her, tongue sticking out. She was doing better at standing up straight now that she was standing still, but she still shifted uncomfortably in her boots.

Making a face when Dani questioned her, Alex gave a weak shrug and a sly smile. "Oh you know.. just the peach schnapps," she sing-songed, giggling a bit. "If anybody is to blame, it's Charles. She practically made me do it."

Dani, even if she couldn't stand the sight of her cousin, readied herself in case Alex took a turn for the worse. No one needed to introduce their own face to the floor on homecoming. "Well good," she said stubbornly.

"You're actin' a damn fool," Dani snorted, rocking back on her heels. "Must be a light weight if y'all are stumblin' around because of peach schnapps," she smirked.

"I ain't even a light weight!" Alex protested loudly, looking comically shocked and holding an open hand to her chest. Except that in reality, she sort of was. She and Charlie both could get exceptionally drunk from sharing a fairly small bottle of liquor between them. "Peach schnapps is strong, who are you kidding? I suppose you drink 151 straight out of the bottle like the other dykes around here?"

Dani snorted and shook her head. "First of all, I got me some whiskey, aint none of that 151 bullshit. It fuckin' tastes like cleanin' solution," she grinned. "And secondly, I aint no dyke. I aint the one with a little dyke-y girlfriend lettin' me on the quodpot team," she teased.

Looking comically offended, Alex pressed her open palm to her chest. "Excuse me? I'm the best player that your joke of a team has! My father," she paused to hiccup, "was almost a professional. If it hadn't been for my slut of a mother screwing everything up. I've got extremely talented blood, but I guess the talent skipped you, Danielle."

"Sure, if you're delusional," Dani laughed abrasively. "That's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard," she smacked her knee then snuck another sip of whiskey. "Damn Alex, I might think you were funny."

"Anyway, my point is," she went on, rolling her eyes as her cousin tended to her whiskey. "Some of us are just talented enough to get on the team easier than others. My reputation preceded me, you know. It's not my fault you can't fly worth a turd and you're mad about the fact that the captain likes me better. She's got impeccable taste, what can I say?"

Really, Alex didn't give two shits about Quodpot, or their team. Hell honestly, she didn't even like playing Quodpot. Borderline despised it. But she was far too drunk to do anything but berate her cousin, and she did know how much the game meant to her and the rest of her teammates. They were all such a bunch of twits.
