Alyssa watched everything with keen eyes and she was amused by everything that happened. She chuckled slightly as a seemingly hyperactive girl cartwheeled in and started chattering at a speed not even Alyssa could match. She cocked her head to the side trying to follow the whole thing, when the girl turned her eyes on Alyssa.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Shit.</span>Moments later an awkward arm was placed around her shoulders and Alyssa became slightly concerned. She didn't really like being touched even less by people she didn't know.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"What brings a lost puppy like this to a Big Bad Place like the pit?"</span><br/><br/>She frowned. Lost? Yes. Puppy? No. She shrugged the girls arm off her shoulder and faced her. At first she was tempted to ignore her and leave but the manners instilled in her as a child and for her whole life commanded that she listen to whatever came out of this girls mouth and find a polite way to leave at a later point in time. She damned her "mother" for making her so polite when it came to strangers.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">You used to have a spine, where'd it go?</span>A week ago she would have walked away, but being a new place she didn't think that this would be the proper course of action. She almost growled in annoyance as another song came on blaring though her MP3 player and a small smile twitched at her lips. Death Before Dishonor by Five Finger Death Punch. Go figure.<br/><br/>"I was wandering it. Found my way here." Her voice had a slight edge that came with her being uncomfortable, but those around her would never know. She held herself confidently, and her voice was calm, steady, and slightly loud. She couldn't help that last one, she'd just always been loud. She tried to keep herself down to a dull roar but sometimes her voice became very loud very fast. Most often at the most inopportune times. Not only was she loud, but her voice carried so she had to be very quiet if she did not want to be heard. She really didn't care at the moment though. Let the whole bar hear her for all she cared. All she wanted was a little adventure, that's all she'd ever wanted.<br/><br/>She eyed the girl cautiously, she'd never had a conversation like this before and she was ready to kick the girl in the shin with her steal toed combat boots if need be. She was always ready for people to get stupid around her. It happened a lot and had gotten her kicked out of four "prestigious" private schools, not like she needed them she was smart enough to do whatever she wanted once she got out of college, and none of those smarts had been gained when people were shoving their religion down her throat at school. There was only so much one could take before one told people to shut their traps and leave them alone. Alyssa had little patience for people who committed such acts. They annoyed her to the point of want to deal the physical harm...however jail wasn't a place she was interested on seeing from the inside.<br/><br/>Even as she spoke to the girl who had come over, she was paying attention to those just down the bar. Their conversation seemed much more interesting, what was it they were talking about? A game? They seemed a little old for that. Perhaps a club they belonged to. Regardless, she wanted to know more. She always wanted to know more about anything she didn't already know. So, she kept eye contact with the newest arrival awaiting her response and wondering if there would be any opportunities to meet those further down the bar later.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Already you've been dragged into some kind of interesting situation. This should be an amusing night.</span>She thought as her eyes flitted out over the crowd again watching the drunks interact.
