Alone with Her Thoughts ((Open to anyone who can get to her world))

[vicioussweetie]

Ali prowled. Nothing could keep her interest for long. Not her books, not her games, not her friends. Casey enjoyed being able to take the lead in their very very long walk that night, as Ali had no desire to return to an empty house. Something was wrong. She was unsettled. Sage had utterly disappointed her, being nothing at all like she

Marcus is at one of those bars she passed, pounding down "shooters" with a couple of friends. Grinning, he placed a .357 bullet on his tongue. "Cheers, mates. 'Ere's to a fookin' tight year," he grumbles as he knocks back his drink. "Ahh, hell yeh."

[vicioussweetie]

Ali couldn't imagine a better place to cause trouble than someplace Redcaps hang out. And so it's there she goes, with Casey as a reluctant escort. Though she hesitates slightly when she sees Marcus, she doesn't leave. Like he could frighten her away.

"Shores? What shores? Oh, funny, fookin' funny." Grumbling, Marcus leaves his table by the pinball machine to go get the next round of shots from the bar. On the way, he notices Ali, his steps faltering as he takes in her outfit. Opening his jacket a little wider over his bare chest, he grins. "Back fer more, eh?"

[vicioussweetie]

"You wish." She doesn't even seem to look at him, posing on a barstool. Casey grrs at Marcus a bit, which earns a twitch of a smile. "Go flex your ego somewhere else."

[pierced_biter]

"HA!" He sidles up next to her, sparing a frownish baring of his teeth for the dog. "An' wha' else is 'ere fer ye', 'en?"

[vicioussweetie]

"Less and less the more you're around." She spares him a glance, now. "This is your usual haunt?"

[pierced_biter]

"Mebbe." He frowns a bit--it's almost like she's a different person. "An' 'oo put th' bug up yuir arse, 'en?"

[vicioussweetie]

"Would giving me an honest answer kill you? You'd be a very strange looking Pooka." She smirks.

[pierced_biter]

"Feh! I go where-e'er I want. I'm 'ere taenigh' tae celebrate. An' ye?"

[vicioussweetie]

"Celebrate? And what'd you manage, then, that's worth celebrating?"

[pierced_biter]

"Aside frum rockin' yuir li'l worl'?" He grins lasciviously, licking his lips with a chuckle. "'Tis th' new year comin', an' 'twould be a shame tae meet it half-assed."

[vicioussweetie]

"You, doing that to me? I wonder if you were even there at the time..."

[pierced_biter]

"I know I was there. But if'n ye missed it, suppose I coul' gi'e ye a do-o'er."

[vicioussweetie]

"No, thank you, I'm really not in the mood to be bored to death right now."

[pierced_biter]

"Bored?! Where in th' bloody 'ell were ye durin' the last 'un?"

[vicioussweetie]

She smirks, leaning down to scritch Casey's chin. "I'm beginning to wonder that myself."
