[center][b]Carmen[/b] - Ara you serious?[/center]

Of course her explanation would be hard to stomach.for someone who hadn't been there. She couldn't really fault Ara for it...but she wouldn't lie about something like that, would she? Although her attire did present an over the top flair to things. [i]Worth it.[/i]

"I didn't exaggerate. I may be enjoying this cocktail but those events aren't exactly easy to forget. There was a party that was crashed by a demon fighting a dragon on the first day, and then on the second day all Hell broke loose," said Carmen as she predictably smiled in satisfaction at the most overused pun in Athalia history. "The demons and Apophis destroyed the campus. Luckily the students all made it out fine, but the campus, not so much. But we're here now!" she said, raising her drink to an invisible toast and taking another sip.

It was then that Ara gave the most concise description of an entire life story ever given. She was going to ask him more questions, but Ara promptly asked “Since I answered properly, does that mean I get to hear your story too?”

[i]All's fair in bars and conversation,[/i] she thought to herself. "Of course!" she began. "I'm a skylark, which is basically a siren that has a bird form. Not that interesting, at least compared to some of the people surrounding us. That girl over there [pointing to Garden] is a princess of plants and can speak to, command and create flora. Usually I have a trumpet with me. Without it, I look pretty normal, as you can see. That guy that just sat down [pointing to Matt] is a phoenix. We have angels and demons and all sorts of things. ...but I digress. I don't want to talk your ear off," she finished with a chuckle. "We just met, after all. So...what did the doppelganger do to you? And what exactly is a doppelganger? If you don't mind me asking, of course."
