Inez Temple has posed:
Tonight was apparently Country-Western night at Harry's. A mechanical bull was set at the center of the barroom floor, and many patrons had taken a ride on it. Inez, was just the latest rider of the bull. And, while she's a Real Live Texan, she is also Real Live inebriated, and she got tossed off the machine after a respectable five seconds. This is not sitting well with Inez apparently, as she curses at the bull, "You think you beat me but you're just a bunch of bolts and gears! I rode harder than you when I was in diapers!" Though, her threats go no further than that as she stumbles back to the bar for her drink.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
And Monet is there for reasons that are otherwise unknown (she was baited into the refrain of 'you have to go out and meet people' routine). She's watching Inez back and forth. "I think that you're not going to set a record on it. And don't break it, I don't think you can afford to have it replaced."

Inez Temple has posed:
"Screw it, that darn bull aint not worth the metal it's made outta!" Inez shouts back at it, at Monet's comment. She then turns back to her drink, downs the rest of it, and promptly orders another. Her gaze slides over to Monet, and lingers for a few moments...and then a few moments more. Perhaps it's because of the alcohol and some difficulty focusing. She says, "You up next? Gonna do me one better?"

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would fold her arms together, "I hardly need to lower myself to such pedestrian things. I'm here to enjoy mseyfl, not make a spectacle like you are." There's just teasing in her voice, rather than her usual taunting. It's a rare thing of M being relaxed and casual.. By M standards.

Inez Temple has posed:
"Enjoyin yerself?" Inez slurs, narrowing her eyes a little, "What? By watchin people get tossed off that thing?" she asks, motioning with the shotglass she has somehow acquired, before she downs it. The bull claims another victim as she says this, a young cowboy looking fellow gets tossed just after the bull's first buck. She laughs, not kindly at all. "Better luck next time buckaroo!" she calls out. She's enjoying herself.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would let out a sigh, "So what has you in such a state?" SHe would query to her.. Teammate? Whatever X-Force was and whatever status the mercenary mutant had at Xavier's. "How much have you had if you're already tipsy?" Another tease.

Inez Temple has posed:
"What state? New York? Hell if I know. I SHOULD be back in Texas." Inez grumbles. She then shrugs, "I've had....a bottle or two of that stuff...and a bunch of glasses of beer. Whatever that much is. Why? You keepin track or somethin?"

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would shake her head, "Merely impressed. And are you able to pickup your own tab or will I have to save you from debt collectors along the way?" SHe would inquire. "As I presume Nate doesn't consider this an expense and Wade won't as he's not here with you."

Inez Temple has posed:
"Wade and I aint together so I dunno what that's supposed to mean..." Inez says, looking at Monet a bit skeptically. She then shrugs, "Dunno what you think you know bout expenses or whatever but this night...all on my dime.." Not that she'll remember much of it.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would smile, "Very well then, so will you be covering mine as well?" She would tease and look over the bar menu for something. But, her hand is sliding around the waist of the blonde. It's.. Almost cute and sappy.

Inez Temple has posed:
Inez Temple doesn't seem to notice the hand around her waist, not at first. But bare skin on bare skin does eventually catch her attention and she looks down at her hip, "Have an idea do you?" she asks bluntly.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would smile, "Well.. A challenge, then. On the bull. If I can last longer than you can, then you must cover my drinks for the night and something after. If you win, then I'll cover what must be a rather considerable tab."
