Yeah, sure - if she counted there being no water pressure when she went in for a shower that morning, not terrible. Not to mention the lack of hot water throughout the apartment she shared with Lolly. She would have blamed the brunette, except she was still passed out - so there went [i]that[/i] excuse. Then of course there was the commute to the diner which went belly side when the "bus" - if she could even call it that, just a rusted hunk of junk - stalled seven blocks from her destination. When she did finally make it to work, a disgruntled customer, who albeit looked to be having a worse morning than Darcy, smacked right into her as she was carrying a pot of the black stuff refilling other patron's mugs. [color=#ff0040][b][i]I guess I got a hot shower after all...[/i][/b][/color] she remembers thinking begrudgingly as the liquid spilled across the already hideous uniform she was forced to wear. [sub][i]Not terrible... but it could definitely be better...[/i][/sub] She kept on keeping on. Inhaling harsh and deep through her nose before exhaling through her mouth. The shift seemed to drag on and on after the hectic morning she endured, the idea of getting shitfaced and partying hard getting her through it all. The leftovers from customer's plates helped a lot too. [sub][i]It wasn't like they didn't have food back in their apartment, but it always tastes better when it's free.[/i][/sub] It was all just enough to keep her levelheaded until shift was over and she could get to the Pit. Thankfully, she and Lolly shared shifts and when one was off, so was the other. It didn't take them long to get home, cleaned up - making sure to wipe away the coffee stench from her uniform for the next shift - applying makeup, copious amounts of hairspray and throwing clothes on before they were packing up and heading out. [color=#ff0040]"Look Lolls, Imma be at the Pit, you should swing by after your done swindling old rich men~"[/color] the wink and puckered lips she shot her friend was all in good fun and then she had been on her way towards her home away from home. It didn't take her long however, to come up on a crowd of people bathed in the alternating red and blue glow of the cop cars littering the area. As curious as she was, she didn't need anymore terrible for the day. Instead she kept on walking, spotting pink out of the corner of her eye, and made the mental note to keep on grinding. Regardless of the time or day, the Pit was always happening, it didn't matter the type of [i]clientele[/i] that liked to loiter around. Tonight was no different, what with the line to get in wrapped around the other side of the building and down the block. Letting out a low whistle Darcy had continued up to the front of the line, basking in the seething glares and obscenities shot her way. [color=#ff0040]"Hey hey my dude! How's my favorite bouncer~!?"[/color] her hips swung with every movement and she couldn't resist throwing her arms around his waist in a pseudo embrace. Rig just rolled his eyes, but there was no mistaking the slight grin that wanted to breakout across his usually stoic face, [color=red]"Yeah? How many bouncers you know, D?"[/color] She had just pouted playfully up at him, even if she was in heeled boots, he was still taller than the blonde woman. [color=#ff0040]"Ah, ya got me there,"[/color] a beat passed and people being let in and held off were still transpiring around them, [color=#ff0040]"The usual here yet?"[/color] Given the awkward position he was in Rig still managed to scratch the underside of his chin at the small bit of scruff that was left over from his previous shave, [color=red]"Just a few stragglers - why? You expectin' some new faces?"[/color] Darcy hummed as if deep in thought and she couldn't help but think of Lolly most likely dragging a new victim into the snake pit and a giggle escaped her painted lips. [color=#ff0040]"[i]Always babe[/i]"[/color] She was able to reach up and place a chaste kiss to his right cheek, imprinting his skin, [color=#ff0040]"Catch you inside? First round's on me~,"[/color] she didn't even stay to wait for his response as she was already making her way behind him and through the door. He muttered something she could barely make out what with the thumping noise already encasing her. She did have the know-withal to throw up a peace sign over her head at him. Rig stood there shaking his head, [color=red][i]"That woman...this place... gonna drive me into the ground..."[/i][/color] [center][color=#ff0040]☆[/color] ☆ [color=#ff0040]☆[/color] ☆ [color=#ff0040]☆[/color] ☆ [color=#ff0040]☆[/color] ☆ [color=#ff0040]☆[/color] ☆ [color=#ff0040]☆[/color] ☆ [/center] The grunge, the smoke, the lights, the noise all flooded her sense setting off a euphoria that she could only feel by being completely surrounded in the ambiance of the lifestyle she participated in. As soon as she was able to break through the threshold and into the crowd of bodies pulsing with heat and desires she made her way to the bar where Robin was tending alongside Jed - though he was dipping out [color=#ff0040][i][b]'Smoke break probably,'[/b][/i][/color] she thought and proceeded to order three shots of wells tequila. It was a Friday and she planned on partying like it wasn't ever gonna end. She placed another order, this time for a Coors and once the young blonde behind the bar delivered she thanked her, promised she'd be back and made her way to the ladies rooms. After swinging the door open she was immediately assaulted by squeals that could rival the bass outside that door and arms being thrown around her. [color=57294F][i]"Darcy!! You came at the right time..."[/i][/color] Alice had doubled back towards the sink making a grab at the baggie that had been left there and wiggled it before the older blonde. A mischievous smile graced her own face as she took the bag graciously, [color=#ff0040]"If it isn't my very own Alice in Wonderland~"[/color] Darcy cooed, ruffling the girl's hair before a small [sub]'don't mind if I do'[/sub] and then taking the substance from the bag and inhaling sharply. [i]Not a bit wasted.[/i] Alice had hoisted herself up on the counter next to the sink before rambling on and on about everything and nothing at the same time. The young girl made Darcy feel like an older sister and enjoyed seeing her come outta her shell little by little. [color=#ff0040]"Uh,[i] eww[/i],"[/color] she laughed out loud enjoying listening to her babble, passing the dust back to it's owner. Darcy couldn't stop the Cheshire grin crossing her features, having muscled her way next to the younger woman, leaning over to get a view of herself in the mirror, reapplying her dark lipstick and touching up under her nose, [color=#ff0040]"So, [i]Toby[/i], huh?"[/color] It was harmless tease and she didn't think much of it in that moment. [color=#ff0040]"Just a little bit of this, little bit of that. Currently working at the Gourmet diner, you're more than welcome to come swing by."[/color] And as if struck by a brilliant thought she turned immediately to face Alice, [color=#ff0040]"[b][i]OOH![/i][/b] You [i]definitely[/i] need to stop by the pad whenever ya get the chance, I ain't gotta stash [i]this[/i] clean but it's better than the last batch we shared. Besides, if Dana makes an appearance you bet your ass imma be walkin' outta here with a party in my pocket."[/color] She finished with a shrug taking another bump before motioning for the two of them to head out back to the bar, her empty bottle thrown into the nearby trash bin.

Rather, the side of one. [color=#ff0040]"Looks like Lolls dragged another sad fucker in with her... wonder how long this one'll last,"[/color] she was speaking just for the sake of speaking, not even registering that Alice would pick up on her comment. She didn't dwell too long though for they had already maneuvered their way through the throng of people filling up the dive and sidled up to the bar and the patrons that resided there. Bigby being among them. Sipping on his usual. [color=#addfad]"[i]Ladies,[/i]"[/color] he tipped his glass up off the bar in a mock salute, [color=#addfad]"Not having too much fun without me, are you?"[/color] Darcy grinned wide pulling him into a side hug, [color=#ff0040]"'Course not, Bigs. We love ya, ain't never gonna be a party without you. [i]Wonderland's got a new level of snow this time around. Pure and fresh~[/i],"[/color] She shot a wink to her friend and jerked her head in Alice's direction. [color=#ff0040]"You enjoy it for a bit without me, I've gotta date with a pretty little thing."[/color] And with that she sauntered her way a few stools down to where Lolly sat, looking bored outta her mind. Darcy was keenly aware of the stares burning into her friend, and even more so of the glares that tried to sear into her own skin at her approach to the beauty. It's what made it all the better. Throwing an arm lazily over Lolly's shoulder, Jed and Robin present. Robin was currently chatting up the pair of them trying to start drama of her own and honestly, Darcy was all for it. Jed on the other hand... poor boy looked like he short circuited just being in Loll's presence. [color=#ff0040]"You lookin' to catch flies, Jed?"[/color] Before he could leave them however she threw out her order for another round of shots, for the four of 'em. [color=#ff0040]"Hey babe~,"[/color] she turned her attention now to the brunette under her denim clad arm. Darcy sealed the verbiage with a kiss to her cheek as a pair of shots, filled with unnamed liquor was placed before them. Claiming the glass she finally graced the new guy with her gaze, sizing him up but finding nothing of worth there. After downing the shot she pulled Lolly closer to her and whined into her hairline, but still loud enough for her voice to carry to her companion, [color=#ff0040]"You know you'd have more fun with me."[/color] The gentleman, who was [i]clearly[/i] uncomfortable with just coming into contact of the stool beneath his expensive slacks, let alone stepping foot into the Pit of all places, snapped when he was clearly being ignored. [color=white]"[i][b]Excuse you?![/b][/i] Do you know who I am?"[/color] Darcy rolled her eyes, leaning back with another whine, [color=#ff0040]"Look man, I don't give a flying fuck who you are. But you're cramping the ladies vibes. Why don't you bounce off or something. Go back to your ivory tower or wherever and don't bother coming back, yeah?"[/color] He seemed to go red in the face - more so than before - trying his damnedest to seem threatening and intimidating. Too bad it didn't work. [color=white]"I'll have you know I'm extremely good pals with Douglas Bigby,"[/color] Darcy's eyes widened a bit, curiosity taking over to see where this was going to play out. He continued, [color=white]"Yeah, that's right, and one call from me is gonna have you banned from Oceanside if I wanted. You really wanna test me?"[/color] Darcy nodded her head as if in an understanding, [color=#ff0040]"Oh, OK then. Sure, I gotcha dude."[/color] Leaning forward across the bar to lock eyes with Bigby down at his designated spot, she whistled and shouted out at him, [color=#ff0040]"Ay, yo Bigs! This guy says he knows you. Gonna get me kicked out Oceanside! You wouldn't do that to lil ol' me though, right?"[/color] The sarcasm was dripping. Bigby pretended to be in thought as me continued to sit in his spot, drink still in his other hand before waving to something, or someone behind the trio. Upon turning around, Lolly's date was met with the broad chest of one Rig. [color=#ff0040]"Heya Rig~ told you I'd see you inside."[/color] Rig was silent. Just standing there, menacingly as the gentleman's complexion paled out tenfold with each passing conversation thrown. He thought he was ahead in the game. Thought he could throw names around like a money and get his way - like he did with everything else in his life. However, here in the Pit, he wasn't even worth the space he occupied. It wasn't long before Rig had, escorted, the male out of the bar when Darcy decided to release her hold still on her roommate's shoulder and find purchase on the bar top itself. With the tongue lashing she was sure to get, she might as well get comfortable. [color=#ff0040]"Hey, Robin, can we get some more shots over here? Imma need 'em."[/color] [/color]
