( Destiny's Child. The only version of 'child' Faith is comfortable with. She's bonded with some young slayers, but she has no - and wants no - progeny. At least at this point in her life. And she's getting up there as far as she's concerned. )
[Her eyebrows go up when Faith mentions Beyonce and she nods. That's her bad. And she actually is far more seasoned than Faith probably realizes. She just ... missed a lot.
But fortunately she gets into these situations more often than you think.]
Sorry. I missed a lot of the nineties and the early 2000s. I'm still trying to catch up on the pop culture stuff.
[It's just a lot of pop culture milestones to get through in the years that she has. She'll add Destiny's Child to her list, like Captain America does. Though Captain America's reasons for sleeping through the emergence of pop music is a lot more common knowledge.]
I have seen some of the animated films from the era, at least.
[She feels like she and Faith would have a similar vibe in a bar with a little more ambiance, a little less big band. And with that suggestion the two of them will wander out, and in the process we will cut to Waverly Earp, darting across the party to hit the bar because man did she need a break from that conversation.
"Two beers, a double whiskey, a martini and a Manhattan." A beat and then she shakes her head. "Oh, no, a dark and stormy. Thanks."]

My sister and her husband had to leave early, so I took their ticket. Still, this wasn't what I expected.
no subject
( go vets and vet lovers, but wear a mask, because it's sexy. )
Like it shouldn't work, but it does. ( except for the band and dancing. ) Why'd they bounce so early?
no subject
[But he's a cute energy suck, so they're usually willing to forgive him for it.]
I can't really say I blame them for choosing quiet and sleep over a party.

Sorry, I'm not sure I follow.
[She does know who Beyonce is, at least so ... that's something?]
no subject
( How young is this chick. Should she be looking for Chris Hansen? )

You live under a rock or something?
no subject
[And Faith isn't wrong, but Freya is used to dancing around it in public, so she gives a glib:]
You could almost say I slept through it.
no subject
( Doesn't sound vampy, though. With an (11), Faith's slayer senses are picking something up, but she's not sure what. )
You missed a good time. Great movies. Better music. Grunge.

[She likes cartoons.]
no subject
( But, tell nobody she's a sap for The Little Mermaid or Aladdin. Not that she can sing a lick. )
'Less you're talking about the more fucked up kids shit, like Little Nemo or The Brave Little Toaster. Even Land Before Time's depressing as fuck.
no subject
[Not that she actually cares.]
I babysat for my niece a lot when she was growing up and she was a big fan of animated musicals. Not that she'd ever admit that now.
no subject
How old is she?
( And will that help Faith in determining how old you are? )
no subject
Eighteen. Just started her freshman year at Tulane.
[Which is baffling, really. But also she lived through most of it, so she can't really deny it.]
no subject
( That's kind of great. )
Sounds like you got a nice family sitch.
( It's alien to Faith. )
And you got the ticket hook-up.
no subject
[And yeah, her family situation is pretty nice - for her. For other people they can be quite problematic.]
I did. And I think that while my brother-in-law had good intentions, this isn't quite my scene.
no subject
( And quite the knock down-dragout, but you can't call someone out on the violence in their city. )
...Yeah? Me neither. Counts as a change of scenery, but not much else. Like the company though.

Aalis pulls out of the awkwardness as well, following Waverly to the bar. She sets her empty martini glass down on the bartop, pleasantly surprised. )
Are you... buying my next drink, Waverly Earp?
no subject
[She hasn't missed how the rest of their group has scattered for the time being, but she turns to Aalis with a smile.]
And when it comes to booze, I'm a girl of my word.
no subject
( Don't mind if she palms her martini. )
no subject
In this wisdom you have to offer, does it also include your skin care regimen? Because I'm assuming with a statement like that, it's top notch.
no subject
( She takes a cursory sip, eyes trained on Waverly for her answer. )
no subject
[Though she does flush a bit at the compliment from a pretty girl - she blushes at most compliments from pretty girls, it's not new.]
I think it's mostly from my dad's side.
