Open If I Should Stop Being Me - Birthday Reckoning

[Aradia]

The blonde who was Alori, picked up on something and mentioned it. Aradia gasped and then laughed, ”Three A's met by fate.” Aradia said shaking her head, ”I did not realize that until you picked up on it, that is interesting.” the Singer said in a tone full of mirth. That was indeed interesting, and Aradia could not help but wonder if the A names were common in Wind Reach, or it was indeed just a coincidence. The Singer shrugged her shoulders on the ponder, and went to sit down, only to almost fall. Aradia laughed at Arandolya’s words, maybe she was right. Since she was such a clutz sober, maybe she would be more graceful with some alcohol in her system. Aradia did know that alcohol made her more confident, ”Maybe so!” Aradia said with a smirk and a chuckle. These two women were interesting, different from what she was used to. Which the women in Ravok were all harlots or back stabbers, or even assassins, so their personalities were totally different then the two before her. Aradia abandoned her thoughts as she watched Alori guzzle the rest of her drink. Looking at her half filled beer, she shrugged her shoulders and tipped hers back as well. Might as well get the party started Aradia thought. She slammed the beer down on the table, covering her mouth with her hand, as a large belch broke free that tasted of hops. Aradia coughed a little, ”Excuse me.” Aradia said in a mouse like tone, very quiet due to the humiliation of burping like a drunkard male. Alori then ordered more drinks and Aradia gawked, she was definitely about to get drunk. Being such a light weight, two drinks would do her in for sure. Then the girl mentioned it was her birthday, and Aradia clapped her hands. ”Ohhhhh! Happy Birthday!” Aradia said with a smile, then started to sing to Alori, ”Happyyyyy Birthdaaaaay Aloooori, May youuuur dreams come truuuue, and your Wishess be fulfillllled, Happy Birthdaaaaay to youuuuuu!” the Singer sung to Alori in a soft and pleasing tone, mezzo-soprano tone to be exact while clapping her hands all the while bringing the attentions of the others around the bar to stare and smile at the performance. When she was done, she gave a bow to some of the claps of the other people and laughed, sitting back on her stool she sipped at her beer, ”Well, let us get wild then.” Aradia said with a daring look at the other two women. Aradia had never let herself go, never let herself be wild and crazy, so why not on a night of celebration! [/color]

[Arandolya]

oocI am so sorry for how long this took me, thank you so much for being so patient!!

As the petite blond spoke up, she brought to attention a small fact of their names, "Aradia, Arandolya,...I'm Alori." Arandolya blinked in mild surprise, and quirked a grin as Alori broke into small chuckles, Aradia joining as she added,
"Three A's met by fate. I did not realize that until you picked up on it, that is interesting." Indeed, Arandolya silently agreed as she inclined her head to both.
"The best A's around, if I may," she chimed as the three A's made their way to the bar.

As Aradia agreed she might be more balanced with some alcohol, Alori seemed eager to get drunk as she swung back some concoction and ordered another for all of them. Arandolya sipped the surprise she'd ordered, grinning at the two ladies before her. Their excitable personalities were definitely something welcoming on a drab night. It didn't seem boring with them around, that was for sure. Aradia tipped back her beer, and Arandolya copied them, finishing off hers quickly as Aradia let out a small burp. "Excuse me," she said quickly, seemingly embarrassed. Arandolya looked over and grinned, patting Aradia's shoulder.
"No need, we'll all be like that soon enough, eh?" she said with a wink.

"I hope you girls are ready to party, it's my birthday and I'm getting wild!" Alori exclaimed as more drinks arrived, Arandolya chuckling quietly. Aradia seemed almost drunk herself as she broke into song, 'Happy Birthday' in Common, from what Arandolya was able to glean from it. Though she couldn't understand some of the words, Arandolya had to admit Aradia's voice was wonderful. She eagerly clapped along with the others as the woman took a bow, adding it was definitely time to get wild.

"Let's get wild then," Arandolya said with a laugh, clinking their glasses together before drinking it down. It burned down her throat, but filled her with a pleasantly warm feeling, suffusing into her limbs and made her want to move! Grabbing Aradia's and Alori's hands, she tugged them a pace away from the bar. "Sitting and drinking is for old geezers, drinking and dancing is for the lovely A-squad!" she said with a giggle, twirling the two girls (thankfully they were both shorter than her). "So, Alori, how young are you turning?" Arandolya asked as she grabbed a random person and spun under their hand with a gleeful laugh.

[Alori Sai]

Aela was ecstatic, gleeful the moment that Aradia started to sing for her. She clapped along as the woman sang and rocked her hips from side to side. The alcohol was already getting to her and the light bouncing move that she did while clapping was probably the least movement she would do for a while. "Thank you!" she said after the song was finished and she clapped along with everyone else. Aela felt like singing herself now, or rather trying to sing. But she knew that her voice wasn't anywhere as wonderful as Aradia's and it would take a lot more alcohol for her to forget that fact.

She was so glad that she found the woman to party with, and if either of them had a birthday or anything else coming up, she would be there to party with them. It didn't even have to be a special occasion, any reason was good enough and Aela was ready to party. When their drinks arrived, she clinked glasses with them and quickly down her drink again. There was a burning in her chest and the room started to spin just a bit, but Aela was loving every moment of it.

"Woo yea! It's party time!" she yelled a bit loudly after Arandolya suggested they move back to the floor. Placing her empty glass back onto the table, Aela except Arandolya's hand and followed her back onto the dance floor. As she was twirled, the tiny Avora dropped down, seductively swaying her hips as she flung her free arm out, deciding to turn the simple twirl into a full dance.

She felt warmer now, coming back onto the heated floor with the alcohol already warning her from the inside. "I just turned 18!" she answered to Arandolya's question as she started to dance. She thought it was cute how the woman asked how young she was turning instead of old. Aela lifted her arms up above her head and bounced to the music. The beating of the drums were infectious, calling to all to work their bodies to it's thumps and beats. The teen threw her head back, arms lifting to toss her hair about, as she rocked her hips. The girl danced upon Arandolya, she grinded against Aradia as the music consumed her mind and body.

No one could ever know how wonderful it felt to be back home, to be alive. Aela had her life back, and although it wasn't the one that she left behind, it was better than being alone or dead. She smiled to both of the woman, offering them a wink and giggle, even if they didn't remember her name the next day at least they had that night.
