The first thoughts going through her head was how much hers was hurting after it made direct contact with Jade's beautiful face. Joey was in a lot of pain sure and maybe had some sort of injury in her future, but for the moment, she was just happy to be near someone who didn't take off as soon as they saw a certain behemoth. And joey giggled, though with a wide smile, though clearly wincing through the pain, as her friend seemed worried about her. Joey brushed it off. It wasn't so much the collision that made her wince but the dizzy aftermath that came as a result and she just had to...forget.

[color=BE9CDC]"Oh yeah, I'm fine!"[/color] She again smiled, grabbing a drink from the table her hands were using to support her unsteady legs. [color=BE9CDC]"I just need something to drown this killer headache."[/color] Like a vulture clad in a neon leotard, Joey's bright eyes widened when she saw there was some bourbon left. The fact nobody had laid claim to [i]that[/i] bottle was amazing. She reached across the table, popped the cap off after a few frustrating moments of struggling with it, and took a hefty swig of it straight from the bottle. [color=BE9CDC]"Now that's better!"[/color]

Up until she took those swigs of the bourbon, Joanna didn't feel like she was gonna enjoy herself. Feeling isolated and neglected by Lottie, her mind began to retreat back to the mindset she was back when she was a teenager. She felt enabled by all of the party vibes and party favors. At some point, she had pocketed some E in case she felt like upping her mood and blocking out certain feelings. She wasn't sure if she was going to pop them in her mouth and let the tablets do its chemical magic. Even as she held the bottle of Bourbon Whiskey in one hand, she thought about it. Like really considered it.

She wanted to forget for a while and felt something in her stomach churning as if the tension of the moment and pairing that with the music playing in the background, Joey felt like a teen again where everything but the moment was blacked out. She felt like a teen again because the closer she came to despair, the closer she was to throwing caution into the wind, which made Joey pull out one of the self-described "happy pills" from inside her neon outfit. She looked at the little Dimebag and bit her lip. Maybe it was because she had trouble knowing he limit in the past or unsure if it was the right decision but she just wanted to not feel the pain she was right now. 

And like in the past, without giving a moment's notice, Joey's instinct took over as took out the lavender-hued pill and placed it on her tongue. With another swig of the burning whiskey to wash it down, Joey just let it work its magic. Maybe it was mind thinking there was an instant effect or what, but as Joey turned around, she first smiled a little less than she had been at Jade, seeing the girl's sweet, caring smile and that only made the colorful and spirited Joey overcome with the giggles. She walked closer to Jade and tenderly grabbed the back of the nape of her neck. 

[color=BE9CDC]"I'm probably going to regret this,"[/color] she muttered to herself before planting her lips on Jade's and she immediately felt a euphoric sensation course through her body as though every synopsis in her body was reacting the surge of electricity of that kiss.[/indent][/indent][/color]
