[@Knight of Doom]

Ashton rested her head in her hands as her eyes continued to scan the crowd. A bead of sweat slightly dripping down her right temple as she tried to decide who to exactly 'pursue' as Marine would put it. More like trick but it's not like Ashton ever lies about her gender. Just everyone takes a guess about it. Not many believe a girl could actually get this tall and usually treat such girls as a freak of nature. Even now she was probably close to the tallest person in the bar. 

[color=gold]"Well I say go for that cute blonde over there. Her friend just left so that's a good time to hit that. She looks out of place, perfect target for flirting. Noobs are either the easiest or the hardest depending how you play your cards. But since the 'white knight in shining armor' type it'll be fine to play the nice Schick. Be easy and simple, let her have a couple sips of that drink to let her mind get a little hazy and you should be good. Think the albino girl already figured out your a girl so she's out."[/color] Marine said as she also assessed the available playmates to torment with her little game.

[color=silver]"How can you tell?"[/color] Kary asked curiously.

[color=gold]"Gut feeling. Plus people tend to act differently depending on the gender of the other person. Most girls probably would be intimidated by a giant 'guy' beside her. Then again, this is Ash. Might as well be a giant golden retriever."[/color] Marine mused.

Ashton blinked at her auburn haired comrade before glancing toward the pretty blonde. Indeed, her friend had left to flirt with a guy. Still though, her amethyst gaze flicked to the other bartender, the one that hadn't served her. Before looking to Marine with a raised eyebrow and slowly tilting her head in his direction. Flicking her eyes between that direction and Marine to let her comrade know that the bartender seemed interested in the blonde. Wasn't there like some guy code... bro code? Something. About not taking some guy's girl that he has his eyes on or something? She really would not hurt his feelings or cause drama. 

Marine rolled her eyes as she waved her hand dismissively. [color=gold]"Oh please Ash. All is fair in love and war and all that. Doesn't matter how many people flirt with the target, it's up to the target who they find the most attractive. The losers get to snooze and lose. And if they are the sore loser type, well just knock their teeth in. You probably could with any of them here."[/color] Marine said confidently while Ashton gave a skeptical look before another sigh.

The dirty blonde didn't want to cause a fight though. She much rather avoid having to use such violence for little importance like some bar drama. She just did it to that guy because he attacked her, and seemed like the violent kind of drunk and probably would just hurt someone. It was action for safety of the patrons of the bar. This however was like some weird sick mind game Marine seemed very pleased to witness.

Turning her gaze to the blonde, Ashton tried to think of a approach, while the others whispered their bets.

[color=aqua]"Bet you two drinks she can't do it."[/color] 

[color=gold]"Betcha five she can."[/color]

Alright so, how does one get ones attention at a bar? Ashton could just imagine thought bubbles that appeared in anime or manga. Imagining one image in a bubble with her and a bouquet of roses. Petals flittering about like some prince charming fantasy as she gave a princely smile. Crossing her arms and tilting her head in minor confusion and calculation at the thought, she thought of another one. Her with a box of chocolates shaped like a heart, gingerly taking a bite of one of the chocolates. Attempting to be seductive she supposed. Shaking her head quickly to clear away the thought bubbles, she sighed again. No no, they were in a bar. There's no roses or chocolates to fall back on. Mhmm maybe just offering to buy a drink is enough for the scenario? Seems to work in movies. 

.... Sometimes.

Deciding to go with the simple, as well as be herself. After all, she wasn't going to exactly lie who she was and pretend to be someone else just to impress someone. Honesty is the best policy. So if they ask her gender, she'll answer. Simple. No fault in girls flirting with girls. Just adds to the compliment. Right. Taking a deep reassuring breath, the tall giant stands from the table before striding over to the blonde girl. Grabbing the stool right next to the beauty before turning her amethyst gaze to the 'doll' and gave a bright friendly smile. Gingerly wiggling the stool to make a sound to catch her attention. Gesturing with her free hand toward it, trying to ask if she could sit there beside the beautiful woman.
