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.

	Mike was hitting the local bars for some fun when he saw Maria sitting up at the bar working her way through her current drink. "You look like you could use another drink," Mike says taking a nearby seat. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Quite a few more," Maria said. She gave him a small smile. "What's your poison?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Beer," Mike says with a grin, "But if you are looking for something stronger Jäger is always a good choice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria motioned to the bartender to bring Mike some beer. "I'm good with my whiskey. I haven't seen you in awhile. How have you been?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not too bad," Mike says with a shrug, "Had a little bit of craziness but it wasn't really a problem. How about you?" He had a few guesses about that based on the whiskey. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hit bit of a rough patch," she said. Heck, she was just at the point where there wasn't any soreness in her chest. Of course there was the other issue she was trying to forget. "Figured I could try to drown it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Want to talk about it at all," Mike asks as he beer arrives, "Or is this one of those shut up and let me drink through it kind of things." With the stuff in his head he knew that bottling stuff up was not always such a good idea. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not really," she said. "I want to talk about anything else. And drink of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So have you seen any concerts lately," Mike says taking a sip of his beer. He figured that was a good change in topic. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria shook her head. "No, unfortunately. Been too busy. What about you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh? What kind of music did they play?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	demonborn 2013-08-27 11:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Rock Music," Mike says, "It definitely sounded good after few beers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mike wakes up with a start a little bit confused in his bed. He wasn't exactly sure what had caused it but did notice that Maria wasn't in bed any more. He grabbed a pair of boxers and put them on before heading out of his room to see if Maria was still around. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She heard him moving and looked back toward the bedroom. "I'm out here," she called out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	Maria swore. "I hate magic. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mike looked at her curiously. "How much do you know about magic?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
