Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nevermore was in the air scanning the ground. Around her, other pegasus and flutters danced to the pulsing music. Strobe and colored lights flashed over the crowd, making some phony look pink one moment, blue then next, and then neon orange. Pushing some strands of her tan and mint hair behind her ear, she blew breath out between her teeth, agitated. There was no way she could spot Tinker in the throng of changing, multicolored bodies that were on the dance floor.

Nev landed near the bar, taking a empty spot against it before somephony else did. Tink had mentioned drinking and she was hoping he'd belly up to the bar for his first cocktail soon, or at least was able to spot him the crowd from her prime location.

"There you are.." Nevermore gave him a once over,she could smell sweat and about five different perfumes on him. "Have you been dancing or did you get that damp just making your way over here?" She handed the drink she'd ordered to him to sip. "I don't know what it is, I just said I wanted a drink that was purple and this is what he handed to me. It's pretty good, a bit sweet I think."

She scooted to the side a bit so he could fit in more comfortably next to him. The next song the DJ queued up made the floor under her hooves vibrate from the levels of bass in it and she was almost positive her heart was pumping to its beat and not on it's own accord. So this is what clubbing was eh?

"It took me awhile to shake Noble." she got her muzzle close to his ear so she wouldn't have to shout. "Triggered his "good boy" persona and made him walk Jasmine home. He was pretty pissed!" she laughed. "But we're on our own for awhile!"

Nevermore beamed and she was happy it was hidden under a bunch of colored lights. "What shall we do first?" she asked, still close to his ear. "Drink? Dance? Do you know any good drinks or dances?" she figured he might since it had been his idea to go here in the first place. The mare leans forward and takes a couple of laps of the purple liquid from the glass he still held. "I'm getting fond of these sweet drinks."

"Zen I would recommend zat ze two of you do zome shotz.." Imperial Ink popped up suddenly between the two phony, smiling at Tinker. "Tink! I would not ezpect to zee you 'ere! I did not know you were ze clubbing type. Did you get zat book I zuggezted?"

Ink turned his head and seemed to notice Nevermore for the first time. He looked her up and then down and then up again. "Iz uh..zat the ze one..? Ze one zat CC told me about?" he asked the green stallion.

Nev blinked and looked around the purple stallion at Tink. The two seemed to know each other. "What book?" she asked, picking up little parts of the conversation. "And what are shots..?"

Ink smirked back, his eyes glittering wickedly. "Ah you are not az zharing az your mothzer. Per'apes zat iz Delta in you.."

"A zhot.." he said, turning to Nevermore. "iz a zmall drink zat you drink all in one breath! And you can do zem in all kinds of interezting wayz! 'Ere! Observe!"

Ink moved, pushing Nev back beside Tinker and ordered a Tequila shot. He dipped the lime wedge into the salt and ran it along Nev's jawline, the lime juice lightly coating the salt on her face. He pressed the lime wedge, rind first against her lips. "If you don't mind holding zis for a moment?"

Nev blushed and parted her mouth just a little so the wedge would stay in place.

Ink picked up the small glass of liquor and leaned close to Nevermore. His tongue expertly ran across her jawline, licking the salt off her. Nev's wings quivered and fluffed from the unexpected sensations. The purple stallion poured the contents of small glass into his mouth, tipping Nev's chin up with his hoof and leaned in, biting the lime she held in her teeth and sucking up all the sour juices. He stood back, swallowed and licked his lips, winking at Tinker with more then a hint of challenge in his grin. "Zee? Lookz fun doezn't it?"

Nev sort of stood in shock, a blush so bright she was sure she was a neon sign. "wow..."

It took Nev more then a second to refocus. That'd been..something... What was Tinker asking? Oh! Her wings rustled, as if suddenly aware they were telegraphing her emotions, the feathers settling back into place.

"I accept!" She asked the bartender for whatever it was Ink had had. Dipping her lime in salt, she studied Tinker for the place she wanted to run the sour fruit along. She opted for a longer path then Ink had gone, staring from Tink's jaw line , all the way up along the outer edge of his left ear. She placed the lime in the green stallion's mouth and took a deep breath. Slowly she followed the lime and salt trail, up the green phony's jawline, along his cheek, up the outer edge of his ear, which she bit playfully before slamming her shot back. She moved up, pressing Tinker aginst the bar, leaning into him and biting into the lime. The indirect kiss lasted three heartbeats before she stepped back, ripping all of the lime fruit from the rind and swallowing it down with the tequila.

The moment broke when the booze sizzled as it went down and Nev coughed. "Ahhh..it burns.." her eyes watered a bit and she fanned her mouth with her hoof.

Ink's hoof was in the air and he was waving it like a foal in school. "Can zhe do me like zat nezt time?!"
