Bars and clubs in general in New York city were a very mixed bag, you could get anything from a typical nightclub, pounding lights and drinks, questionable substances being passed out by shady gentlemen lurking outside of the bathrooms highlighted in neon lights.

On the other hand, was the bar that featured lighter back ground music, and was mostly illuminated audibly by the patrons all chatting away with one another and playing games here and there. This was the kind that was currently occupied by a mixture of people, it seemed to be mostly a girls night. There were very few guys in the bar, and those that attended this type of bar tended to be... no so straight.

Perched on one of the stools rather elegantly, one leg draping off to one side. Hair done up into a neat ponytail that draped down the front of her black dress, showing off a modest amount of flesh. The patron perched in such a way that she had a good view of the going's on of the bar, but was only facing in one direction, a delightfully pink and fruity cocktail sitting in front of her, half emptied.

The music, drew soft humming out of the blonde as she surveyed the denizins, with a mixture of curiosity and desire. The blue horn bar was a recently discovery of hers, it sounded like it was fairly new, but there was a worn in wooden aesthetic, with all kinds of arcade machines hidden in corners and little touches that made it feel like a homely bar.

Finding herself pretty absorbed in the sights, sounds and surroundings Alice barely noticed another pair moving in next to them, she picked up voices in the background. One of them was a slightly higher pitched, effeminate male tone, and the other was definitely female. A little exotic. She turned slowly to a quaintly dressed male tapping her on the shoulder very gently and gesturing to the girl to his side with a very practiced flourish topped off with "Haaaaave you met Cait?"

So, not only had Patrick thought it hilarious that her luck with men had bordered on cursed and made more than one comment about her having better luck with guys like him than he did, but he had insisted on taking her out to get some 'stress relief''. He had even tried to give her a make over, but she'd drawn the line when he had given her a dress to try on that showed off more flesh than it covered.

"Dear, if you really want to get some attention, you're going to have to get over your thing with dresses' at some point." He just didn't get it though, she'd never liked them and if her own mother could only get her into a dress once, with months of guilt, he didn't stand a chance.

She'd gone with her old favourite for feeling better about herself. Ridiculously tight jeans and a blouse set just right to give her the appearance bigger curves than she actually had. Cait could do with the confidence booster tonight, if the bar was anything like she was expecting. Pat had said something about being a wing(wo)man tonight, since she had such good luck with his type.

At least the music was good when they entered, just the right kind of tone for the look of the place. "How about some drinks Pat? I could do with something sweet, fruity and terribly bad for me." It was a cocktail mood tonight. "You and me both sweetie," as he glanced across to the bar he got that evil little grin of his, "but do I spy a fetching young lady at the bar? Maybe she would like to play a game." Oh dear god no, not that game, anything but that. Before she could even how to stop him, he was already bearing down on the poor woman.

"Haaaaave you met Cait?" Yep, it was that game. It was always that game. "I'm so sorry for my friend, he has trouble remembering some people don't like being bothered while enjoying a drink." If looks could kill.....hers probably wouldn't anyway.

She was very pretty though. For a gay man, Pat had a very good eye for the ladies and she would be lying if he hadn't helped her get to know more than one beautiful woman. Blushing and still giving her friend dirty looks, she held out her hand, "I'm Cait, if that wasn't obvious. Nice to meet you."

Alice's lips quickly blossomed into a wide grin at the man who'd gotten her attention. She had to admit, she could deal with the non-straight type of male just fine, all the ones she'd met had thus far had a good sense of fashion, and often complimented her hair and dress sense. She might have been a little bit biased on that front, buuuut they didn't seem to have ulterior motives all that often.

Her eyes drank in the presence of the red headed dame, who seemed to have a little touch of a Scottish accent. A voice somewhere in her head made a noise akin to a pleased cat.

"Mmmm" She took a sip of her drink. "I'm not going to complain to your cute friend for introducing me to somebody adorable." the blonde let off, an unashamed grin on her lips. "Were you guys going to get a drink? They make some delicious cocktails~ They're to die for." She purred, lifting her almost glowing, pink refreshment to the newcomers, particularly tilting it at the girl before taking another sip.

The blush brought out an even wider smile in Alice, grasping the other girl's hand with her own slender fingers she smiled. "I like your accent~ It's much more lovely than Canadian accents~"

Well, she might hate Pat right now but if the looks she was getting from the woman were any indicator, she might just have a shot. If she got out of this with a number, she was going to, maybe, forgive him. A little. It helped that the dress her new friend was sporting showed off some very lovely skin.

Cait would take adorable, it was good, wasn't it? She wasn't great with flirting with women, somehow. Guys were easy, show off a bit of leg and they were all yours but women? How on earth were you meant to flirt with them? "I could absolutely do with a drink and a cocktail sounds amazing. There any you could recommend? Yours looks particularly appetising." Nudging Pat towards the group of very beautiful young men eye him up and giving him a very pointed look she turned back her newest friend.

If there was one thing she could thank her parents for, her accent was a definite gift at times like this. It had gotten her more than one phone number. "I've certainly been told that, not that I ever abuse it's powers. What kind of monster would do that," she added, giving a cheeky grin.

Ordering and drink, before returning her full attention to, wait had she really not asked for a name? "How rude of me, I've introduced myself and I didn't even ask for yours." She was not good at this. She could almost feel Pat's eyes in the back of her head telling her not to f--- this up, if he hadn't been tongue deep in his newest conquest right now.

Wandering idly when the red head's friend would decide to move on and give the two of them some space to get to know one another. Hopefully it wouldn't take too long, Alice liked the vibe that she was getting from the other girl. A kind of a mix of nerves and excitement.

She grinned at the mention of more drinks and swiftly placed a 20 on the table, letting off a purr at the female bartender. "A blue Lagoon for the guy, and a pair of pineapple incidents for me and my new friend~" Swiftly afterwards, both she had a fresh orange cocktail, and gave one to the lovely girl.

Her smirk widened even more at the response of flirting, the girl didn't seem to be overly experienced with it. Cuuuuute. "Mmmmmm I'm sure you don't beautiful~" she hummed, taking a sip of the new drink.

Awwww she was all flustered and unsure. "Oh you're so precious" Alice purred. Turning her body more fully to the other girl, flashing more of her pale skin and giving Cait her full, undivided attention. "You can call me Alice~ Lookin' forwards to going down the metaphorical rabbit hole with you~" Her voice leaving the obvious innuendo open. Though most people saw that comment as a getting to know each other, but it doubled up as something more... flirtatious than that.

Pineapple incident? That sounded, exciting. Way better than what she had been ordering at least, so she waved the bartender away in favour of the new drink. When it got handed over to her it was, weird. Really fruity and it probably had enough sugar to stun a rhino, but it was really good. Very strong too. She probably shouldn't have to many of them, some bad life decisions would be in the future if she did.

Oh she was in. Not many people were that forward if they weren't interested in at least a little bit. Well, it wasn't like this out of the norm for her experiences with her own sex. Fluster, blushing and unexpected make out sessions.

Oh, she had a name to work with now, Alice. Lovely name for such a beautiful woman, but that line was too much for her. Not being able to hold it back she started laughing lightly, shaking her head at the innuendo. "I have to ask, because I'm genuinely curious, how often has that worked?" It was so cheesy, so out of left field, so.....perfect. God damnit, it had worked on her hadn't it. There was no way she could leave now, not without finding out where 'the rabbit hole' went.

"Well, add one more to that list now because there is no way I am not seeing where this goes, Alice." If that was the innuendo, she could only imagine what wonderland was like. If there wasn't a mirror right behind the bar, she wouldn't have been able to see just how much see was blushing at that thought. Her face was nearly matching the colour of her hair.

Screw it, she was here to have fun, might as well play along. "If you're Alice," she began, lifting up her pale arms, "that would make me the white rabbit." Giving what she hoped looked like a confident grin, maybe she could cause some flustering. "I'm sure we could find our mad hatter somewhere along the way."

Her reactions and blushes were feeding Alice with more excitement to continue the conversation and pursue this women more than she was already. The thing was, she didn't meet people that were this cheery all that often. Often they were either extremely out of it, or a little bit on the crazy side, though that might have just been her reaping what she sowed for doing that in Ragnarok owned clubs.

Springing into an excited Cheshire grin, Alice responded almost instantaneously, barely a second after the question left her cute little lips~ "2 out of 3 times, guaranteed, every time." Smirking. "Taking pity into account, and the lovely lady in question's sense of humour" She purred.

She was sooooo cuuuute! The blush only served to increase her interest and pleasure in the current situation. "Good. Gooooood." One amazing female palpatine later...

She let out a long burst of giggles at the other girl. "Oh my goodness, you're so cute." She exclaimed. "How often have you actively tried to flirt with other women?" She asked, a mixture of happy teasing and genuine curiosity dripping in her tone. She took another sip of her drink and then gently leaned a little closer, taking another sip of her drink and smiling at the flustered Scot.

This was proving to be a great evening. It was interesting to have someone so confident and self possessed hitting on her. Most guys got nervous and girls, well they just started kissing her. From the sounds of it, she was also very experienced at this "Two out of three ey? You get a lot of practice with your, techniques?" If the line hadn't worked on her she might have protested, but it had, so she couldn't.

She was even a Star Wars fan, could this be any better. "So, if your taste in movies is nearly as good as your taste in women, I am in the right place." Cait was a sucker for a closet nerd. It was sexy when a girl could mix quotes in between flirting.

Yes, yes she was cute. It was nice when people noticed. Although it wasn't the only thing Alice had noticed, apparently, since she had caught onto the very obvious fact that this was not her particular arena. "I've dabbled, from time to time." Trying to sound suave, maybe even James Bondesque, "Mostly they're just so attracted to my natural charm, they can't help but flirt with me." Who knows, maybe it would work

Taking a drink, still not knowing what exactly was in it, she gave the woman a fairly open look up and down. Yes, she was very good looking and boy did Alice know it. One of these days, she would get over her issues with dresses, they were impossible to beat for sheer showing off value.

Letting out quite an unattractive snort, that was none the less very genuine, and carried that across Alice smiled at the other girl. "Well, it's that or I compliment them on their unique accents, or their beautiful blue eyes." She hummed, taking another drink of her #badlifedecisions drink. She kept an eye on Cait's body language, looking for any signs of discomfort, and was pleased to find nothing of the sort, instead in it's place was interest.

Letting out a giggle that had none of the poising or posturing that any of her other flirtations or comments to the attractive red head till this point had contained, she responded quite genuinely. "I'm actually quite a massive Star Wars geek, even if it presents good and evil in quite a traditional, bland sense it's still a lovely set of stories~" She hummed.

Alice had felt a little shift in herself there for a moment and tried to reign herself back under full control and cohesion. She was flirting dammit, she needed to keep her wits about herself.

Letting out a rich sounding laugh at the attempt at being suave she gently patted the other girl's hand. "It's okay, you can practice things on me all you like beautiful, I'm sure you'll get it at some point." She supplied with a wink.

She tried to suppress a pleased smile at being looked up and down by the cute woman, but failed epically. "See something you like, gorgeous?" She teased.

Alice was good at this, way better than she was at least. "My it sounds so easy when you say it like that. I don't usually get that far before they start kissing me." Which was, mostly true. Pat being Pat had helped on more than one occasion. Too much alcohol did the rest.

Laughing along with her, how was she engaged in nerdy flirting, in a gay bar, with a beautiful woman. It wasn't meant to be this easy right? "I just love the campy feel to them, the way they do what they do and obviously love doing it. Something cool in watching a passion project play out." Well, it wasn't only reason. "The metal bikini has nothing to do with it."

Damnit, the woman was too good at putting her off balance. She could be suave, she could be confident. Alice was just really good at messing with her. Ignore the fact her hand felt really nice and soft. "Well, I may have to take you up on that. Sounds like it could be very fun." Cait was starting to lose track of the amount of innuendo's but she was fairly sure things were going well. Somehow.

Taking another gulp from her drink, she nearly choked at Alices' question. Well there goes any pretense of being casual. Maybe it was time for boldness. "Oh, I see plenty I like the look of. Although I'm pretty sure you know how good you look." Not that it was in doubt.

"I was just thinking how amazing the dress looks, it certainly suits you very well. I've never been able to wear them, but maybe the right girl could get me into one," she said winking, "Or out of it."

Alice let off a pleased giggle at Cait's comment, smiling and leaning in a little closer. "Oh really? Is that how you operate, you just want the women to get straight down to business do you?" Her voice was dripping with sensuality and an energy of teasing.

She took another drink before grinning at Cait once more, ooooh, she was was going to be fun if she was as into other awesome things as she was with Star wars. "Mmmmmm" She purred at Cait and rested her head on her hand. "I'm totally not imagining you in a leia bikini." the blonde charmed.

She let off another silvery laugh when Cait responded happily to Alice's suggestive comment, she gently trailed the back of her hand along Cait's, intentionally trying to send little shivers up the red headed lass's arm. "Mind you, you are still very cute in that outfit" she wondered what Cait did for a job, she was a little more athletically built than most women that Alice flirted with.

If a blonde haemokinetic could sport a grin wide enough to invoke the cheshire cat, Alice just managed it. "Mmmmm I'm glad, I hope it's something in particular, I'd love to help you explore things you like~"

She giggled more genuinely at the dress compliment. "I'd love to help you pick out some that you look good in, but with your build I think it would be harder to find one that doesn't." Her fingers trailed just a little up the other girl's arm, before resting back on top of her hand.

Something about Alice reminded her of a house cat, playing with a mouse it had caught. She knew Cait was under her spell, now she seemed to be having her fun. "Well, it certainly saves time. Who am I to argue with the results?"

It was like the woman was waiting for her to take a sip before coming out with something outrageous, something daring. Raising an eyebrow she dropped in a more teasing tone, "Role-play so soon? We've skipped a few steps along the way there love, can't be having that." Not that she was agaisnt a little dress up. Striking a pose for Alice, the alcohol was definitely making her more daring. "Imagine away then lass."

There was something about the woman that was just so mesmerising. Every small movement of her hand sent electricity dancing up her spine, tensing her muscles each time. "Oh cute I'll take and who could argue with legs like these," she added gesturing down. Cait was not ashamed to say her legs were damn great.

Yep, more coughing and spluttering as she tried to sip her fruity cocktail. Screw it, she was downing it. Might as well get something down her so Alice would stop playing that game with her. The compliments did help, though she wasn't so sure she could fill out a dress so well. "So kind of you to say, but some of the girls I'm friends with are built like amazons. Now they can give a dress just the right curves."

Alices' soft touch was so damn distracting, her arm tensing at the feel of her fingers. Blushing at the thoughts and feelings it just kept bringing up, she turned her own hand over, idly tracing a spiral on the other woman's palm. "You get many girls numbers this way, or are you techniques as varied as they are interesting?" It's not like she was leaving tonight without at least leaving that much.

Alice took another sip of her drink between bursts of flirting before allowing another silvery laugh escape her lips. "Mmmmmmm." she let out a pleased sound and leaned on her arm a little more, gazing into the red head's eyes before responding. "I like the sound of that."

She took another gulp and finished her drink, setting it down indelicately. "I will quite happily skip many steps with you, as long as when we fall down it's into somewhere soft" the blonde purred.

She chuckled and let her other, now free hand move down to Cait's knee, softly drawing a few circles in it with her nail, absent mindlessly.

Alice's teasing smirk returned. "Darling, you really need to learn how to swallow your drinks properly." She chirped before chuckling at the comment. "Mmmm, I think you've got a nearly perfect balance of tone going on there, of course I'd need to be able to see more of your legs to judge correctly." She couldn't stop from laughing this time, that line was a little over the top and she clearly knew it.

Alice chuckled and gently grasped Cait's hand, her soft hand gently warming the other, as she leaned in to Cait's ear and almost whispered. "No, I don't usually get their number this way."

This woman was dangerous and Cait just had to know more. It's like she dancing to music she couldn't hear or even fathom but it just kept pulling her deeper down the rabbit hole. Giving her a more sultry look than previously, "I'm sure we could, and it would be great. Trust me." Cait got the feeling she would have a lot of new experiences with this woman.

Okay that wasn't even fair, she had two hands free and was using them to go effect to mess with her. Fine two could play this game. Downing her drink and now with a free arm, she ran the back of her hand down the outstretched arm. "Now that was the cheesiest one all night dear." she had an almost disappointed look on her face, milking this opportunity.

Which didn't last long. Damnit! Couldn't she just let her have one? Whisper back, "You know just how to make a girl feel special then, Alice." Squeezing the hand back, she glanced up long enough to see Pat giving her a thumbs up before miming the number ten.

Like she said, for a gay guy he had very good taste in women,

"You wanted to see more tone, well then we're dancing," hoping off her bar stool she gently pulled Alice onto the dance floor, getting very close to the beautiful blonde as they moved together. This was her element now. No one knew music like she did.
