Pretty here, Pretty there. Oh me oh my, Pretty everywhere. And he wasn't remotely ashamed to admit that he loved being the center of attention...however breifly...in the midst of such overwhelming Pretty.<br/><br/>"Jinni, Jinni, Jinni...your obsession with this 'other man' of yours is entirely forgiven.  " he joked with her, but mindful not to actually say a name since he did not know for sure if her friends knew about her feelings for Wyatt. He wasn't going to<em>completely</em>out her. Just enough to make her blush.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=129278.msg5777785#msg5777785">Quote from: Caela on 26-01-2012, 03:25:14</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Flashing everyone a grin she waved to the bartender, "Since we have a new friend here the first round of shots is on me, I'll take a tequilla," she told the bartender before looking at everyone else, "Order up, it's rude to make a girl (even family!) drink alone!"<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>He had decided to tone down his drinking, but when a lovely young lady says the round is on her, well you take it. Hell he had found throughout his life that it's almost always a good idea to take anything a lovely young lady offers you. Unless they're one of your students. That just ends bad. And he could not deny the stonecold and irrefutable truth that Paisley had remarkable taste in liquor. It looked she was here to let loose a bit which reminded him...that's why he was here tonight too!<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=129278.msg5778623#msg5778623">Quote from: Caeli on 26-01-2012, 05:56:30</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Brie waited for Jinni and Paisley to finish their introductions and greetings before she said her hellos. <strong>"Hi, Jinni - its been a while. Lucky me, I came back from our tour just in time for an unofficial get-together at P3."</strong> To Angel, she nodded and raised her own glass (of non-alcoholic cider, of course) slightly in greeting. <strong>"It's a pleasure to meet you, Angel - though if you don't mind my saying, you don't look much like the traditional cherubs."</strong> She winked to convey her good-natured teasing.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>He turned to the other beautiful creature he found himself thrown together with and chuckled at her playful teasing. "Yes, sadly you just missed my cupid phase. You have no idea how adorable I was in diapers. " he said, utterly oblivious to the fact he was in the prescence of at least one half-cupid.<br/><br/>Leaning forward he adapted a conspiratorial tone and added "And you never will! I burned the evidence!"<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=129278.msg5778623#msg5778623">Quote from: Caeli on 26-01-2012, 05:56:30</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>"So if you're new to the club scene, Angel, what brought you to P3 tonight? Most people would try one of the bigger places in downtown, first."</strong> Brie really wanted to ask about Jinni's comment, about Angel chasing rule-breaking teenagers and hiding behind a desk - but with Paisley living it up at the bar and seemingly on her way to tearing up the dance floor, it didn't seem like the right time to introduce more serious conversation.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Leaning back, he smirked and drained his Tequila shot, enjoying the burn as it coursed down his throat and toward his belly. "Oh, i'm working my way up to the big places. Have to lose the training wheels before I'm ready to go for a motorcycle afterall. " he said with a grin.<br/><br/>"Joking aside though, i've heard good things about this place. And so far the rumors have proven quite reliable.  " he said with an apprecciative nod to the three ladies...four with the new arrival of yet another lovely young thing named Melinda whom he smiled at politely.<br/><br/>****<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=129278.msg5779936#msg5779936">Quote from: Caela on 26-01-2012, 15:14:15</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Downing her shot of tequila a fresh smile curved Lee's lips when the lovely, though unknown, woman came up to the bar and spoke to them. The woman's voice had a lovely lilt to it that spoke of being something more than just a San Francisco native. If she hadn't spent so much time down in Chinatown buying herbs she wouldn't have been able to place that slight lilt in the voice. Recognizing it though just made her smile warmer. She enjoyed the flurry of Chinatown almost as much as she did her sister's club. The reminder of one of her favorite places certainly didn't hurt her first impression of the woman.<br/><br/>&lt;Respectful Snippage&gt;<br/><br/>"Actually, I'm pretty regular here yes," she admitted, turning her attention back to the woman. "My name's Lee, and these are my cousins, Brie and Melinda, my older sister's best friend Jinni, and her new friend Angelo," she said pointing everyone out in turn. "My sister owns the place so we're all pretty regular around here and yes, it's usually pretty busy. PJ does a great job booking talented DJ's and bands to keep the crowds coming back," she said, happy to praise her older sister even if they had their own issues. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>He arched a mildly impressed brow to see the relatively petite young woman drain her Tequila like a pro. She didn't strike him as the 'party girl' type, but she could certainly handle her tequila. "Now that is impressive Paisley. I swear it took me a good ten years before I could take a shot of Tequila without weeping like a child."<br/><br/>Now if things went very very well tonight, then there was a good chance that thirty years from now, when he sat down to speak to his grandchildren about how he met their grandmother...preferably with a bare minimal of flashbacks...he would make sure to pat himself on the back for NOT sayinf 'weep like a little girl'. Gender Neutral terms. A great way to avoid castration in a new post-feminist America.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=129278.msg5779936#msg5779936">Quote from: Caela on 26-01-2012, 15:14:15</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><br/>"This seat's taken," she said firmly. If Mel chose to listen to him and let him back into their lives then she'd let the cold in her eyes thaw, but until then she'd be colder than an ice age. This man (handsome though he might be) had hurt her family. For Lee that was nearly unforgivable. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>He was just getting ready to formally introduce himself to the new Pretty going by the name of Melly when the temperature in the room dropped below zero. Yikes! He glanced between Paisley, Melly, and the new young man. He recognizes that he doesn't know the whole story here...and there clearly is one. But he still moves from his place in the bar and takes a few steps toward Paisley, to be in position to intercede if things get out of hand. Drama and Bars rarely mix together well.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=129278.msg5780788#msg5780788">Quote from: LunarSage on 26-01-2012, 19:58:17</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">He patted the guy's shoulder and nodded, continuing on to the bar where Jinni and the others were seated.  He offered a nod and a smile to each of them, including Connor, Jacqueline and Angel.<br/><br/><strong>"Hey, everyone!  I hope all is well and everyone is enjoying themselves."</strong><br/><br/>He glanced at Jinni and gave her a hesitant but genuine smile... damn it all, she looked beautiful tonight.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>And then there was a new guy who...if he had to guess from the longing gaze...was probably Wyatt. And though in warmer climates he would have been heavily inclined to give Wyatt a proper greeting he glanced somewhat apprehensively back at the blonde Glacier staring hate-shaped knives through Connor's face. Wow. He idly tried to remember if he'd ever pissed off a woman...or her family...enough to get a stare like that.<br/><br/>Ick. Bad memories. Bad, bad, bad. Go away now. He glanced breifly back at Wyatt and nodded politely...he didn't want to be rude...before shifting his eyes back to the others and wondering if he should do something to break the ice. "So...Paisley, yes? Jinni seems all danced out. Would you care to join me on the floor? "<br/><br/>There. The proactive approach. Head off the Paisley-Icebergh before it crashes into the Connor-Titanic and that god-awful song starts playing. Then some jerks screams out he's the king, and it all goes to hell. This must be avoided at all costs. He tilted his head and offered his hand with a faint smile he added a hushed "Don't worry. We'll be close enough for you to break a chair over his head if he overstays his welcome.  "
