A quiet drink (open)
Maria slid onto a bar stool and motioned to the bartender. She gave him a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. Planting herself on a bar stool and making friends with some drinks seemed like a good way to pass the rest of the evening. She had just gotten done with a quick patrol, her first since her run in with the Joker, and she needed something to help her wind down. It would also help her to stop thinking about Him for a little bit.

The bartender put a glass and a bottle on the bar next to her and poured some of the amber liquid into the glass for her. She smiled at him again and picked up the glass. Time to get drunk for a little while.

	"How's your head feeling," Mike asks with a yawn as he walks over to the kitchen. Shit, Mike thinks loudly to himself when he comes into the kitchen and sees what Maria's holding. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's fine," she said. "No hangover." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's good," Mike says sounding distracted. He was trying to figure out what he should do about the cursed figurine. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I usually don't suffer from hangovers," she said. "Was just getting a drink before we start another round." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've never gotten one," Mike admits, "I guess I'm just lucky like that." "So um do you believe in curses," He asks trying to figure out how to bring up the magic stuff. It's so much easier when you don't know the person cause you can just knock them out and do the magic stuff. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria deadpanned. "Are you kidding me?" Maria hated magic and anything related to magic. It was a Bat thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonborn 2013-09-25 12:40 am UTC (link)
	Yep this was definitely going to be a fun conversation. "Not really," Mike says with a shrug, "Ever heard of the Evil Eye." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-25 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	Maria swore. "I hate magic. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonborn 2013-09-25 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	Mike looked at her curiously. "How much do you know about magic?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-09-27 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Enough to know that I hate it," Maria grumbled. "So what did I do?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonborn 2013-09-27 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	"You kind of just got the Evil Eye," Mike says. He was definitely going to have to ask her how she knows about magic. Most people usually don't really know much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria swore quite vehemently. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds like an appropriate response," Mike says smirking a little. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria just glared at him. He could probably see the steam coming out of her ears. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonborn 2013-10-03 01:19 am UTC (link)
	Mike could definitely feel her anger through his telepathy. "Would it make you feel better if I said I know how to get rid of it," Mike says a little sheepishly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-10-05 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	Maria eyed him suspiciously. "You know how to get rid of it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonborn 2013-10-05 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	"It's kind of a family secret," Mike says with a shrug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2013-10-06 06:12 pm UTC (link)
	Maria just waved it off. She didn't care about the secret or anything except getting rid of this curse. "Let's just get rid of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure thing," Mike says grabbing the figurine before grabbing a box of rock salt to make a circle on the ground to start the magic. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria stood still and just grumbled under her breath about hating magic. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonborn 2013-10-10 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	Mike did his best to ignore the magic hate. He said a few word in Latin before magically starting a fire in the center of the circle. Mike then threw the figurine in to the fire. "Now just grab that out of the fire and I should be able to put the curse back into it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You want me to do what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just grab it out of the fire and I can get rid of the curse." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fine," Maria said with an exasperated sigh. She reached out and grabbed the figurine from the fire. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonborn 2013-10-15 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	The figurine is only warm to the touch thanks to a little magic. "OK almost done," Mike says as he start a quick incantation in Latin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
