She didn't plan on going out tonight but she did really want a break after being inside the office all day. When evening came she went scouting for bars to visit and landed finally at one called Love Zoo. Her ears almost bursted when she stepped in. Well damn, the zoo part was right. She couldn't help but immediately notice the sweaty bodies on the dancefloor hungrily grinding against each other. Like a pack of damn animals. The music was being blasted from the speakers and would cause an unfortunate ear ache for her later. But in that moment she didn't really care. A drink was needed. 

"Run it up, sir. Give me something strong," she said to the bartender as she picked out a strand of hair that had been irritating her the whole day. She pinched her fingers at the spot on the scalp from where the strand grew out from. It itched. But the itch went away when she pulled it quickly causing a slight tingling sensation. Blowing out a breath of sigh she felt better, but not entirely. When the drink came she placed a wad of cash in the bartender's hands. "Payment in advance. I think I might pass out later." She was already starting to feel far from sober. Struggle of being a lightweight.

Fresh off a recent series of successful grave robbings, Harlow slipped past the bouncer into 'Love Zoo' and found her way to the bar.  She was cleaned up but the feeling of cold earth and the smell of dead bodies never seemed to get out of orbit these days.  She was sure people could tell what she'd been up to just by looking at her.

"What'll ya have, Doll?"  The bartender asked her as she slid onto a stool and took over her beret, looking out onto the dancefloor with an eager smile.  

"Just gin and tonic please."  She put down a sawbuck onto the to the bar and waited for her beverage, never noticing her crew's right-hand woman just a short distance from her.  She didn't have plans for tonight, she wasn't meeting anyone, just grabbing a drink at the first decent watering hole she came across.  Though, maybe if she was lucky, she might cut a rug for a bit.

"You're late," Alessandra joked as she clocked a familiar presence of a male not too far from her. Raine. And while the music was literally deafening, she couldn't really hear him well so she only had the movement of his lips to hold onto. She was good at reading lips.

She saw Harlow too! It seemed to be a lucky coincidence that they happened to drop by the same bar. "So, harlz, will I be able to see some cool dance moves tonight? Gonna put all our random dance practice sessions together at the HQ to the test?" She threw a wink in her direction as she downed the remaining liquid from her glass. 

In the corner of Alessandra's eyes she could clearly see that Raine was having a wild time with his drinks. She suddenly felt a prickle of unease rise in her stomach. From one sip, Alessandra had the ability to get super drunk off of it. But this guy? One drink down and not even slipping up. She moved closer to him. Her voice was quieter and softer now. She was almost mimicking their first meeting when he did that to her.

"Take it easy, will ya?" 

She enters "Love Zoo”, her normally shoulder length light brown hair was pulled up into a tight bun atop her head, showing off the fairness of her skin. She glances slowly around the room, not really focusing in on anything but taking in her surroundings as she moved in the outskirts of the dance floor. The blue shade of her dress turning black in the shadows of the room.

It took her a quick moment to notice him leaning against the bar, drink in hand, nearly empty. She smiled lightly, trying to keep it somewhat covered. She quickened her steps only slightly, not to seem over eager and slid up to the bar beside him, “Evening,” she muttered slightly, feigning disinterest.

She tried to keep her smile hidden as she heard him speak to the man behind the bar. She quickly shifted her focus, “Whiskey. On the rocks.” She turned to face the stranger beside her, it had been a while since anyone in this town had given her the time of day, let alone buy her a drink and she wasn’t about to be rude.

“Thank you, Sir.” She didn’t bother hiding her smile this time as she brushed a stray strand of hair away from her blue eyes.

“Nice to meet you,” she instinctively took his hand and gave it a slight shake, “The name is Rose.”

She took a small sip before placing the drink back down. She spoke softly, almost to the point where he could barely hear her, “Thanks again for the drink, I’m still trying to find my way in this town.”

She looked him over once more, shifting her stance slightly to lean in a just a little closer as the music thumped around them. She felt a slight flush in her cheeks and a flutter in her stomach but she hastily pushed that feeling aside blaming it on the alcohol.

"Next drink is on me."

She smiled sheepishly at him, "Yes, thank you... nice to meet a friendly face tho." She could feel her hand inching every so slightly in his direction. She stopped upon realizing it.

"Where in Ireland are you from? I have family there." She grinned and glanced at his empty glass, "Another drink?" she asked softly.

She giggled softly, "Just... visiting". She looked into his green eyes and one again felt a flutter in her stomach. She quickly averted her gaze to the bartender. "Another whiskey, please". She shifted herself on her chair, "I'm actually from Pittsburgh."

"Thank you!" she exclaimed with a smile. She noticed that a smile was practically plastered on her face at this point. "I'm visiting... my aunt & uncle"... She continued. She really hoped that she would see this lad again, she thought to herself as she again brushed the hair out of her face.

She grinned and muttered, "He's retired now but was a butcher". She adjusted her dress, smoothing the skirt out... trying to contain her rising nervousness. She crossed her legs, but uncrossed them and crossed them the other way. She was sure he would notice she was getting nervous.

"What do you do for work?" she asked with a smile still on her face.
