“No way.” Gordie exclaimed with astonishment when Lily returned with an actual plastic hammer and all. Now that really put the final piece to her outfit and it was excellent. He was ready to offer up his own lungs if she needed help puffing up the novelty squeaky hammer but the girl certainly had a set of lungs on her to do the trick. When they reached the quad, it was easy to get lost in the sheer number of the crowd. All the campus must be present, several thousand of them, all dressed in costumes and outfits. How would anyone even remember the people they met, he wondered with a humorous smile. He still hadn’t spotted anyone in those first few moments when Lily beckoned him over for a drink.<br/><br/>“Saw no one yet. They probably ain’t even looking like they looked yesterday.” Gordie explained with a lopsided smile. Maybe that was why it was taking so long. He could just text some of the others to see where they were. It was nice to have a budding social group so quickly in such a new town and place. “Smooth.” He complimented her on spotting the short line up and they took their place. “FiRsT rOuNd Is On Me.” He said in his Bane accent as they neared the front. “Four honey Jacks, please.” Gordie said to the bartender, lifting his mask a little to speak properly. The man nodded and after a quick ID check, went to prepare the drinks.<br/><br/>Two each. That would set them up for the first hour or so. The four shot glasses were set in front of him and Lily on the bar top. The money was exchanged. Gordie passed two to her, before some strange melody came over the speakers. With all the personalities and costumes, he figured it was just some elaborate act and watched it for a moment, before he decided the light was too intense for his eyes. “First round, bottoms up?” He offered to Lily, selecting one of the two shots they had each. Jack Daniels honey, not so bad going down the hatch. Gordie knocked it back and had the mask to cover his brief scowl at the burning aftertaste as it settled into his stomach. Whew, that was definitely a kicker!<br/><br/>“You might have to carry me home tonight.” He joked to Lily. Yeah, he was double her weight. Bad news bears if he did pass out but he didn’t intend to go that far. Give her a little scare though, that was always fun.<br/><br/>Then their man Eren popped up, wearing a simple t-shirt that was still very much in spirit of the party. He smirked at the man’s greeting. “Really? I would have bought him a shot. Too bad.” He chuckled, before stretching out his arm, hand enclosed in a fist for a bump. “Eren, how are ya now?” He greeted the man boldly. “We got some shots if you want a round.” He offered, before turning to the bartender to order up another one anyways. And if Eren didn’t want it, he’d take another one down. Because why not? They were among good and great company here.<br/><br/>The shot was paid for and Gordie offered it to Eren if he wished. “Ready for round two, puddin’?” He asked of Lily as well, stealing her character’s catchphrase. “oH, aRe YoU rEaDy FoR rOuNd TwO?” He repeated again in his Bane accent before taking down the second honey Jacks. It burned as usual. He would need an ice cold beer to slug it all down after.<br/><br/>“Yo, my man,” he said to Eren after the shot, “you catch sight of the others when you were up there?”<br/><br/><b>Location:</b>Quad.<br/><b>Tagging:</b>Lillian O'Donnel (<a class="username" data-user-id="39216" data-username="@Pastel" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/39216/">@Pastel</a>), Eren Mendez Colson (<a class="username" data-user-id="21422" data-username="@Damien_Akira" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/21422/">@Damien_Akira</a>)
