[ through sheer force of will, gaila navigates the doorway with actual grace, seeming to actually puff into the room courtesy of her perhaps overly elaborate costume. a flash of apprehension crosses her face - she is clearly overdressed - but she smooths it into a pleasant smile. it wouldn't do to appear nervous. ]
Gaila! [she bounds over, in more of a overexcited puppy way than in a bunny way] I'm glad someone else took the costume part seriously. You look amazing!
I'm not just any animal, I'm a Playboy bunny! It's pretty much the ultimate sex symbol. Or was. I don't know if anyone still reads it anymore. [shrugs, and laughs] So did Janice do your hair?
It's a wig, actually. [ she wasn't that committed to the costume. ] I can see why the outfit is sexy, but where does the anthropomorphised rabbit come in?
[Has been uninterested in the conversation until now, but sticks his head in at the mention of drinks] Lieutenant, I'm surprised I haven't had the pleasure of pouring you a drink before now. I've got another shot here for y'all. [Pours a line of shots, showing off his bartending skills a little] Birthday cake shots. Make sure to bite the lemon right after. Ladies-- [lifts his drink in salute to them and throws it back, then sucks on the lemon wedge]
[She watches as Bones lines up another set of shots, knowing that if they were anything like the last then things were going to get fuzzy quickly.] Barbies and birthday cakes. Don't have any Halloween drinks to match Angela's festive decorations? [Here. Have some harmless Mira sass.]
Oh, I see Lieutenant. Didn't anyone ever tell you not to question the bartender? Don't worry, I have something in mind, but I won't make the mistake Angela made and not give you time to appreciate the shot in front of you. [smirks, amused] Us on Halloween? I'm sure you mean Angela and her impromptu crew meetings.
I'm not questioning you, I'm merely making a rhetorical observation. [Returns the smirk, but somewhere in her mind hopes she won't regret making the comment later] Sure. Why not? To us on Halloween. [puts back the shot and then sucks on the lemon wedge]
Rhetorical observation, huh? Funny, your observations sound a helluva lot like challenges. [smiles at her knowingly, and turns to Angela] Well, Angela, anything else on the agenda besides drinking?
[she chooses to ignore the fact that Bones somehow knew that she did, indeed, want to toast herself. But she thinks she's pretty awesome, so what's the harm in that?] What, you didn't read your invitation? Booze, food, debauchery, feats of strength. Normal party stuff.
