OPEN-ISH? ⇒ VIVA LAS VEGAS

[recluserose]

[Amelia was never quite sure how her local bartender of Red Divine and sort-of friend, Libby Mendez, could rope her into doing the most outrageous things; first there was that bachelorette party with the stripping firemen (Amelia had to interrupt the performance when she discovered that one of them was an incubus eager to feed on the prospective bride), next was a mysterious masquerade ball in New York (which turned out to be a soiree for a large group of vampires-- that one almost ended nastily), and now this. Las Vegas, Nevada.

What was worse THIS time was that Amelia (dressed appropriately for Vegas nightlife much to her disdain) lost sight of her friend in the crowded streets of the city. A timely text from Libby, however, assured her that she was in one of the casinos trying out her luck. Amelia was left to explore by herself.

Of course nothing else could go awry on this night right? Then again, the Emerald Witch felt that a 'normal' night in Vegas wasn't exactly what she would be expecting...]

Well, that must suck.

[recluserose]

Tell me about it. You try to think up of something for your magic to do, but you literally just draw up a blank.

[griffonix]

Is that how it works, then? You think about it and it just... happens?

[recluserose]

Anyone can think things up, but you need the image in your head to be as crystal clear as possible with the uttermost concentration you can muster.

[griffonix]

Ah, so it's not as easy as I'd like to believe.

[recluserose]

There's also quickness and accuracy to be taken into account.

[griffonix]

The same could be said of the boys and their runes. [ she waggles her fingers ] Got to have fast fingers, especially in a fight.

[recluserose]

Fast fingers in a fight and other sorts of fi-- [Stops herself short oh wow the alcohol is getting to her]

... Never mind. Almost made a terrible joke there.

[griffonix]

No, no. Go on.

[recluserose]

I'd rather spare you from my sense of humor while I'm slightly tizzy in the head.

[griffonix]

Honey, I've heard it all.

[recluserose]

Oh, fine.

It's nice if a guy has fast fingers in a fight, but...







[God this is horrible. But said with a completely straight expression.]

Better know how to use those in bed too.

[griffonix]

[ She laughs ] Miss Amelia, I believe you get improper when you drink.

[recluserose]

Which is why I need to stop while I'm ahead. God forbid giving me anymore than that.

[griffonix]

Ah, I didn't say it was a bad thing. You strike me as the type who needs to unwind now and then.

[recluserose]

Funny, I've been told that several times before.

[griffonix]

And have you ever taken that advice?

[recluserose]

... It depends ... [AKA VERY LITTLE ADVICE ACTUALLY TAKEN]

[griffonix]

Come now. An attractive woman such as yourself? Don't you ever have fun?

[recluserose]

I'm not that much of a stiff.

[griffonix]

[ the flattest of looks, Amelia ]

[recluserose]

If it's any consolation, excitement tends to find me. Well, not so much excitement as it is plain trouble.

[griffonix]

That's not what I meant by having fun and you know it.

[recluserose]

Well, you got me there then.

[griffonix]

But what sort of trouble always finds you?
