Well... now she was two beers in, and GR... still had her first.  Well damn... she needed the girl to<em>loosen up</em>, and fast!  Otherwise Miko would be the one trashed and unable to drive... one more beer and she'd have to call it quits.  Well, unless she went with magic again... hell, why not?  She ordered another drink, this one a high-gravity specialty stout they had, and just before she was about to go back to talking about something else, she had a<em>brilliant</em>idea.<br/><br/>"Something tells me beer isn't really your thing, huh?" she said, sympathetically with a wry smile, shrugging her shoulders to GR "How about something more... sweet?  A Bahama Mama, maybe?  It's not<em>that</em>strong; hell, can't even tell it's alcohol by drinking it!  Let's see if you like<em>that</em>better, m'kay?"<br/><br/>And so she placed the order for one (a<em>big</em>one), and if Shishi acted anything like her, once they got to talking the young woman would forget she was drinking something alcoholic, and would sip it down like a soft drink.  Then the liquor would kick in in a rush, and she'd be<em>quite</em>tipsy... but wouldn't have a hangover (well,<em>she</em>didn't have one so...).  Now all she had to do was strike up conversation.<br/><br/>"So... anything you'd like to talk about?  <If we're going to be working together more than just this once, I'd like to get to know you better.  Nothing too personal, but not much else to talk about otherwise."> she said, switching mid-speech between her two fluencies "Anything at all?  You into Urban Brawl at all?"
