Chloe wanna pint?

Though many students might prefer going to London, Maldon provides closer amenities for those without a car or unwilling to pay for a cab. Several pubs are available, though the Rose and Crown is notable for having been where Excalibur spent a good deal of their downtime. Also of note is the Plume Library, home to many rare books.

Chloe wanna pint?

Chloe landed neatly in front of the Rose and Crown, shifted into human form, revealing that yes, she'd remembered to put on her training suit, and walked inside, in search of a pint.

Melody sat at the bar, alone, a pint and a shot glass in the process of being set in front of her, her gaze on the soccer match on one of the tvs behind the bar. She tossed back the shot and took a long pull from the beer.

I guess I play "drink until one of the locals looks cute" now or until someone answers my texts...

"Hi," she smiled, setting down her beer.

She picked up the beer again after an extremely awkward few seconds of silence, and took another sip.

"So...long time no see. Care to join me?" she asked.

Derek stretched, very much in need of a drink after work, as he walked into the bar. "Ah... nothing like a pint after eight hours of ah shit." He glanced back and forth between Melody and Chloe for a moment, considering turning and walking slowly back out the door.

Melody noticed Derek as she took another drink... And she immediately downed the rest of her beer.

"Another shot and another beer to chase, Mac."

Shit. Spotted. Well, no reason not to be adult about this.... Derek walked up to the bar, not without a certain sense of dread. "Hello, ladies," he said, forcing a cheerful voice.

"That was the idea," Derek said, nodding to the bartender, but still standing since he wasn't sure where he should sit without insulting one of the girls. "Long freaking day. It was a lot easier when everyone was on break."

Melody downed her shot and set the empty one on the bar, chasing it with her beer.

"So...uh...hi. What's new with you, Derek?"

This is so damn awkward...

The fuck is that supposed to mean...?

"Oh...well good," she smiled. "So are you two...?" She paused before finishing the sentence.

knew she wanted him from day one. Whatever, good for them.

Melody was a bit surprised by the honesty of that answer. "Guess I was looking for 'are you two an item,' but fucking works too," she laughed nervously.

Annnnd another beer gone. Now she was starting to feel the alcohol--thank god.

"Yup. Definitely works," Derek said agreed, downing his beer. Now that they were sitting next to each other, he DID seem to have a similar alcohol habit as Melody.

five pounds says I'm way better in bed... Who the hell cares though--I dumped him? Still...bitch.

There might have been more awkward moments in her life...but none quite this long-lasting. She feigned interest in the soccer game for several minutes before ordering another pint. It was gonna be one of those nights...

Welcome to the shitshow...

"Game's pretty shitty," she almost slurred, nodding her head at the tv. Almost.

"Fancy a game of pool or darts?"

Melody let that comment slide. No need to start a bar fight over something that at least had a bit of truth behind it.

She asked the bartender for a set of darts and walked with her drinking companions over to the wall where a dartboard hung, bringing her beer with her.

"I have absolutely no problem with how they played in their last match with England." Chloe said as she headed over to the dart board "Who is going first?"

Chloe picked up a dart, and got...reasonably close to the bullseye.

Melody took her three shots. The first one barely hit the board at all, and she squinted, biting her lip in concentration for the next two--both of which flanked Chloe's near-bullseye.

"Huh? Oh, okay," Derek said, feeling pretty drunk and going along with whatever the girls were saying. He picked up the darts and threw all three of them... To his credit they managed to all hit the board, but nowhere near as close as the girls' were.
