[IC] Forgotten History

[Rose]

Upon arriving at the apartment just off campus where the party was being held she wondered if it would look strange, her and Marcus entering at the same time. "If you wanna go ahead in I can wait out here for a minute." She offered.

[Thorned Hammer]

Marcus was peering up at the apartment curiously, as if trying to guess how many people where up in there. "Why, you embarrassed to be seen with me?" He asked dryly, glancing her way now.

[Rose]

"No, i just thought it might.. you know. I didn't want anyone wondering. I just wasn't sure. " She stammered awkwardly. "Fuck it. Come on. People will think what they want to." She said suddenly confident. Her back straightened, and her chest puffed out. Quickly she went up the stairs and opened the door. The sound of music and people talking, the smell of alcohol, and the feeling of freedom flooded her senses.

[Thorned Hammer]

Cackling, Marcus followed after her into the crowded hot apartment. Parties were not something he often indulged himself in, usually avoiding them due to not wanting to be around a bunch of drunken assholes all night long. But so far the crowd didn't seem to bad although there didn't look to be many people he knew there.

[Rose]

Almost immediately Rin was met by her friend and several other people she knew. Glancing back at Marcus she felt bad, it seemed like he didn't really know what to do. "Hey, lets get some drinks" She said bumping his arm and directing him to follow her with a nod of the head. She walked to the kitchen where the drinks were. Surprisingly it was quieter in there.

[Thorned Hammer]

Marcus bumped her back lightly, muttering something about how a drink sounded good before following after her.

[Rose]

After having several drinks, and making conversation with different people, Rin found herself sitting in a chair in a quiet corner. For whatever reason she suddenly didn't feel very social.

[Thorned Hammer]

Marcus had started to loosen up around the strange crowd, quickly making one or two friends that he could tolerate. But eventually he tired of their drunken antics and, careful not to spill his drink, he sat down heavily on the floor, back to the wall, next to Rin. "Sulking are we?" He hummed into his cup.

[Rose]

Her eyes tracked his movement towards here and never left him until he sat down. "Just tired of getting hit on by guys who aren't worth my time. They think their all that great. This one guy graduated 2 years ago and has been in a few fights so he thinks he's the hottest shit around. I could out fly him in my sleep." She grumbled. She rolled her head around and looked down at him. "What about you?" She asked.

[Thorned Hammer]

[i]"Whats a guy who graduated doing around here? Loser"[i] Marcus laughed, resting his cup on his knee precariously. "I, am not sulking. You are. So I'm asking you why you are sulking." He said with exaggerated gestures with his hands, pointing first to himself, then her, then himself, then her again. he was no light weight, but a few shots takes its toll on everyone.

[Rose]

"I'm not sulking!" She insisted. "I'm just taking a breather from lame guys. Then you came over and ruined that." She teased him and pushed at him with her foot. Unlike more experienced drinkers she hadn't paced herself so the alcohol was hitting her all at once.

[Thorned Hammer]

"Oh harsh words!" Whined Marcus, catching his cup just in time to keep it from falling to the floor. 'This the thanks I get from, for, from teaching you to shoot?Sheesh Monroe..."

[Rose]

Leaning over she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "That along with me practically writing your essay for you is the thanks you get." She told him then leaned back in her chair. Running a hand through her hair she scratched the top of her head.

[Thorned Hammer]

"Yeah right, you haven't done jack shit to help me with that paper." He grumbled, before holding up a placating hand as if to ward of argument. "Okay, okay maybe a few things...but you haven't written it!" He said pointedly, poking her leg with a finger.

[Rose]

With an insulted look she raised her index finger to convey he wait. Then she handed him the notebook. "That's a draft for paragraph one. Basic information, you can rearrange how you want. " she explained in a prideful manner.

[Thorned Hammer]

"When did you do that?". He asked in drunken disbelief, looking at notebook suspiciously. Eventually he took it from her and flipped to the draft she had mentioned.

[Rose]

Laughing she looked around and then back to him. "Before I got so drunk. " she laughed. After a moment she managed to stop laughing. " So why aren't you spending your Friday night with your girlfriend? " she asked. Her speech becoming more slurred.

[Thorned Hammer]

"Becaaaaause I don't have one." he drawled, letting his head fall back and rest against the wall once he had given up trying to read the draft. "subtle segway right there. Where's your boyfriend. Shouldn't he be teaching you to shoot? Being all boyfriendy like?"

[Rose]

Somewhat embarrassed her cheeks turned a rose color. I didn't mean.. It's not like that... I just thought you might.. " she stammered awkwardly. Awkwardly she played with her hair in an attempt to distract herself. " And no, I don't have a boyfriend. " she mumbled.

[Thorned Hammer]

"why are you mad at being hit on then?" he slurred, throwing up his hands. "I though every single girl wants to be hit on"
