I'm willing to take that risk. How 'bout you?

[soicantlose]

Pretty sure all the risk is yours. I have a way easier time avoiding people completely if I embarrass myself.
So yeah, sure.

[thenewnormal]

Pretty sure you've never seen me when I really let loose. No telling what I might do. ;-)

[soicantlose]

Considering what I have seen, I'm starting to think I should worry.

[thenewnormal]

Only start worrying when I get you dancing.

[soicantlose]

Don't get your heart set on that. Especially if I'm staying sober enough to keep an eye on you.

[thenewnormal]

Who said anything about you staying sober, too? We can call an Uber.

[soicantlose]

I was trying to spare you from bar fights and secondhand bad decisions, since you seem to be in the mood to make plenty of your own.

[thenewnormal]

I have a few good ideas on how to head off any potential bar fights you might get into.

[ And he's grinning to himself. Head. Play on words, even if Nate doesn't realize it yet. ]

[soicantlose]

Weren't you trying to opt out on having the ideas?
I mean, I'm all ears, I'm just trying help.

[thenewnormal]

I was opting out of logistics. Completely different. This won't be controlling or planning. Just reaction.

[soicantlose]

Fair.
I think I'm out of objections, but if things go terribly, just remember that I tried to be helpful.

[thenewnormal]

I can promise you a good time tonight.

[soicantlose]

Getting a lot of claims, but we'll see if you live up to them.

[thenewnormal]

You say that like a night out with me wouldn't be a good time.

[soicantlose]

Depends on how set you are about the dancing plan.
I guess I'll find out.

[thenewnormal]

😈

[soicantlose]

Is that a complaint or just an illustration of your mood

[thenewnormal]

My mood. It's been a Day.

[soicantlose]

I'm getting that picture.

feel like sharing, or you just want to get to drinking it away?

[thenewnormal]

Maybe later. I just need to unwind for a bit.

[soicantlose]

Got it. Just let me know if you're heading back or if I should meet you somewhere.

Assuming for the moment they're not in Roswell, since their option is really one bar)

[thenewnormal]

I'll send you an address.

[ And there's a bar. With a dance floor. And karaoke. ]

handwaving is our friend, who needs specifics.

[soicantlose]

[ He'd comment, but it doesn't sound like Alex needs the added frustration. Anyway, his usual default hangouts tend to be more questionable than is probably Alex's type, so it's not like he's got a better option. ]

Are you there already?

LOL Saw this place and had to.

[thenewnormal]

Heading there now. Ignore the line and tell the bouncer I sent you.

On the outside, the place didn't look like much of a club. Except for the line around the block. And then, once Nate got inside, he was met with a proper looking bar in one room and a stage and dance floor in the next.

By the time Nate got there, Alex was sitting prominently in the bar section of the room, still in his jacket, but already sporting a beer.
