Event: Party at Rush!

Aug 16, 2010 17:30

Rush tended to be much busier on the weekends.

There was something about the atmosphere that attracted people to it. They had many regulars who came in with their friends for drinks, businesses that threw their parties in the dining rooms, and curious newcomers who stepped in to get a look at the place and left several hours later. The bar always ( Read more... )

Faith was of the mind that if she couldn't get out of this place to go help out Angel, she was at least going to rack up one Helluva a tab at whatever bar she could get kicked out of. She was going for record time black-listing. Maybe if she made enough trouble, they'd realize she wasn't worth keeping around and send her back.

Of course, she was already done with four shots of Jack, and even though they weren't watering the stuff down, she wasn't feeling much of anything from it.

Tapping her knuckles on the bar, she gestured for another one, "Don't worry about my capability to walk out of here."

Sasha was a little early for her dinner meeting with Bruce, who even at his earliest had a problem with punctuality. Rather than waiting around, she sat next to a brunette who was downing shots of Jack like it was water, and laughed when she heard her getting the attention of one of the bartenders for more. "He's probably more worried about his tip." There were a lot of cabs outside, and getting her a safe ride home if she did get wasted wasn't going to be a problem for anyone on staff.

"Drinking off a bad day or celebrating a good one?" she asked, ordering a cosmopolitan for herself. No one drank like that regularly, did they? And if they did, they probably should have met Nathan Petrelli. He didn't start with JD, but he was still entertaining to watch.

Glancing to her side, she smirked at the remark about the tip. Faith hadn't realized that the Mayor still had accounts set up for her until she went to look into money and figured out that she actually had some.

"He'll get a tip. I'll tell him to wash his hands before he returns to work."

Exhaling, she let her hand take hold of the shotglass, rolling it on its edge a bit before drinking it down, "As for the drinking, I didn't really ever think people needed a reason. Well, alcoholics need an excuse, but I just wanted to drink. I did get kidnapped against my will."

"New here and still bitter, got it," Sasha smirked, thanking the bartender when he came over with her drink. She took a sip, and was quiet while she thought over her arrival in the city. It had been months ago, but the memory never seemed to fade. "It gets a lot easier once you get comfortable here. More normal, less...bad sci-fi movie." Even though it was one, and an abomination of one at that.

"I drank a lot my first week. Although it wasn't that bad - my roommate is hot as hell, and the apartment is nice enough. It's just not home. When I found a few people here from my little corner of the world, I felt a lot better. My boss even showed up." He couldn't live without her, so that wasn't a surprise.

"Another card-carrying member of the Hot as Hell club."

msattentionspan August 17 2010, 01:49:21 UTC

Smirking, there was a soft amused sound that came from Faith, "Hot as Hell Club, huh?" Turning slightly, she raised an eyebrow at the girl. "Sounds like I should find out where they hold their weekly meetings."

With the shotglass empty, she just shifted the glass on its end, letting it settle against the bartop, rocking it back and forth a bit. "So these hot as Hell guys have names? 'Cause I'm Faith," she'll even extend a hand, "in case they take referrals."

Sasha laughed and shook her hand, taking a moment before she could figure out why the name was familiar. She reached into her bag and pulled out her cell phone, sorting through her texts for the one she had gotten from a stranger. "You're the one who wanted to know what I was wearing." At the time, Sasha had been a little concerned that she was dealing with a creeper, and had decided not to answer.

"Well." Those guys could handle themselves, of course she was going to namedrop. "Nathan Petrelli is my roommate here. He's a lawyer turned politician. Charming, handsome, has that panty-dropping grin. And Bruce - Wayne - grins a lot less, but he's still got plenty of charm and a great ass."

msattentionspan August 17 2010, 02:41:14 UTC

"The text messages? Yeah, I sent out about fifty of the damn things," shrugging, she gestured for another drink. "It was mostly just to get a read on people without actually seeing them up close. Most times I didn't even realize who was getting what message. Though, I'm sure you could've handled keeping up with my antics."

Oh, Sasha, Faith could tell she was going to like you. It was that combination of bold bluntness and smirky charm that she could at least cope with easily. It wasn't a competitive thing either, not that Faith was ever the type, but some girls just couldn't deal well with Faith and from the way the conversation was going, it didn't seem to look like Sasha was one of those girls.

"Well, if they walk in, I'm betting on you to point them out to me," Faith replied.

daughterof_evil August 17 2010, 02:58:44 UTC

Sasha nodded, leaning forward to get a better look down the bar. "Bruce should be here soon. His company magically appeared, which meant a promotion I didn't want or deserve, but if we're talking out the details, I decided it should be at a place I can put on the company credit card." It wasn't like he couldn't afford it. Besides, he'd enjoy the familiarity of the place once he got past the huge bar that he wouldn't order anything from.

"We're hiring, if you're looking," she added, since Faith had the right kind of attitude to do something at Wayne Enterprises, even if Sasha wasn't sure what. "And if there's a glass of scotch out, Nathan is never far away from it, but who knows whether or not he's coming out tonight. I don't see the sexy giant I'm hiring here, either - but I swear, he's totally qualified."

msattentionspan August 17 2010, 03:01:59 UTC

Laughing, Faith shook her head, "I appreciate the offer, but at the moment I'm trying to avoid anything that means I plan on staying here."

Taking her shot, she let the rest of Sasha's words roll around her mind a bit, "Giant? Sam... something, right?" Faith had mostly focused on the first name, she hadn't even realized that the last name was the same as Dean's, mostly because Faith wasn't the type that remembered last names.

daughterof_evil August 17 2010, 03:27:34 UTC

"Winchester," she grinned, lifting her glass to her lips and taking another slow sip of her cosmo. "I think he's afraid of me, which is points in his favor." It wasn't often that she got to inspire fear, especially just by being herself. "There's a lot of eye-candy around here." A small perk. She may have missed Gotham, but that city was all gangsters and old men.

"I hate being the one to tell you this, but you're probably going to be here for a while. I know some pretty resourceful people, and they haven't managed to find a way out of the city. I've been here since February, and I'm still considered new."

msattentionspan August 17 2010, 03:39:54 UTC

Hearing the last name out loud, did actually connect in her head to Dean this time, though she wasn't sure if that was the same Winchester that had lost a brother. Though, it would add together a lot better.

Smirking, Faith chuckled a bit, "Yeah, fear is always fun to see in their eyes." Though, Faith was pretty sure Sasha hadn't seen the level of fear that Faith had inflicted once upon a time.

Though, that did make her think, "Wait... February was last month." Faith let her brow furrow a bit, "When is this?" She'd been relying on her internal clock now for a while, not even thinking she had to figure out when she was, in addition to where.

daughterof_evil August 18 2010, 05:00:44 UTC

"August, 2010. The fourteenth." She finished her drink and set her glass down, looking around the room. "People get taken from all different times, I wouldn't let it bother you too much." Faith had to have been less than a decade behind her, and that wasn't bad, given how far back some people were. "I need to go see if my boss is around to annoy. I'll point you in his direction when I find him."

She took out some cash to leave a tip for the bartender, along with her business card, and handed the latter to Faith. "In case you change your mind. It's not like I couldn't find you a temp job." And women who could put up with Sasha were a rare breed.

msattentionspan August 19 2010, 02:45:46 UTC

She looked a bit stunned to have landed somewhere new and lost more than a few months of time all in one trip. "Damn, that's messed up."

Shaking her head, she glanced out onto the main area of the bar, then returned her attention to Sasha, taking the business card, "Yeah, I'll keep it in mind. Thanks."
