[Lucy is dressed appropriately for dancing and showing Stephen how to pick up guys. Yes, that is a dress. The whole dress. She laughs at Stephen and shakes her head, then stands on the foot rails of the barstool in order to get closer to the bartender. She orders her own drink, a cup cake martini, and manages to get Stephen's pitcher of beer by showing as much cleavage and leg as she possibly can without being indecent.]

There's an art to this, Stephen. We've got to teach you that art.

[totallyinaband]

Aren't you cold?

[mghtbconcussed]

[Lucy sticks her tongue out at him.] I'm not going to be when I'm dancing.

[totallyinaband]

Seriously. That thing is like, mostly holes.

[Stephen's actually been forced to wear his only non-plaid or western shirt.. He's not even wearing jeans. It's a pretty big deal.]

[shifts]

[ Eames, while remaining astute in his labeling of being a terrible person, is mostly here for the joy ride and drinks. He gives Stephen a pointed look, either way. ]

Weren't we moving past being a- frosh?

[totallyinaband]

Sure. This time I'm not wearing a t-shirt with a humiliating nick-name on the back. It's a huge move forward.

[shifts]

Should I ask for clarification, or leave it alone?

[totallyinaband]

I'd go for the latter.

[Campbell has a pint. It's his second. Though it's his third drink, he also had something random with an umbrella because he really wanted a tiny umbrella. Sidling through the crowds back over to Stephen, he grins widely at him and claps a friendly arm around his shoulders.]

So how's it goin' so far, my man?

[totallyinaband]

As good as I expected considering this is my first beer.

[loonyandproud]

That's your first beer? Are you maybe no missin' the point a' this?

[totallyinaband]

Why, what's the point?

[Short pause.]

Do you have an umbrella in your beer?

[shiverandsing]

[Curt is probably the one person qualified to give relevant advice or instruction, although at the same time depending on how drunk he gets that could be a really terrible idea. But for now he doesn't actually know why they're all here, he just saw what Lucy was wearing and kind of followed.]

So what's the deal with tonight? I mean, why are we suddenly going out and why is everyone kind of staring at you?

[totallyinaband]

Apparently I'm turning into a shut-in. According to... everyone here.

Are they?

[shiverandsing]

I mean, not like strangers, not like you have something on your face. I guess 'cause this is supposed to be your night or something then. Are you turning into a shut-in?

[totallyinaband]

I didn't think so, but I'm in the minority.

Yeah. I'm supposed to be learning how to have fun or something. They all get really worried if it looks like I'm not.
