"Yeah, that's true, it always helps."
In a sharp contrast, Ashley had once basically lived in these places, blending in easily with the surroundings as if she had been meant to be part of it. Parties and social gathering had been her scripts, bars often the scenes.
But then things had changed. She'd withdrawn slightly from the party scene as her priorities shifted, to the point where to most, she might as well have dropped off the face of the earth for the most of them.
She'd come to find that it wasn't a great loss. Most of her 'friends' had been quick to drop her, and she was left to refocus on those who remained - the real ones.

"You seem very comfortable here?" Toki said after some time, raising an eyebrow and grabbing for a piece of the food as it arrived. Her question could also be a statement, but she tried to word it so it would get an answer. She did not know but... the little captain here seemed to be more than she was.
Stirring her drink a little, she took a sip of it. Oh yeah was good.
"....SO." She tried to fill the silence. Conversation... something Toki was not all that great at. "...How'd you get ah... recruited? I guess the term being." Time to use small fry words for the big bad pretend to be human scene. She looked around, dont see any senshi like miniskirts... but you never knew with them. She took another sip from her drink, leaning towards Ashley.

"Places like these." She gestured at the bar around them. "Used to be home away from home... Before."
Toki knew before what.
"It's kind of like riding a bicycle, I guess." She took a sip of her own drink, then, and went for one of the cheese sticks - next round would be on her. "You never quite forget."
"Well, I guess you could say it found me instead of the other way around. My... superior knew me a long time ago, but when we started high school he went to Hillsworth, so I lost him for a few years... He found me in-uniform and talked to me about all this and I... wanted to help."
The non-code version would make much more sense, but she had no idea how to work 'Scheelite nabbed me and teleported us on top of a 10 stories building' in code.
"You ?"

"So a long time friend hired you." She nodded twice, another sip of the drink. Great thing about martinis... they pack a punch. But they are small. So they drained fast. Hers was almost done for.
She grabbed another cheese stick.
Taking a bite, she looked up thoughtfully... not speaking until she was done chewing. While she may look like the sort of girl who talked with her mouth full... sometimes years of prissy preppy girl training left a mark.
"Saw something happen, big boss man, before he was fired...." Her eyes flicked up to meet Ashleys, She was indicating about General King Charonite... if the other girl knew who he was. "... saw potential. Tested me, i passed." She smiled, something that usually did not meet her eyes... but this time it had. She loved her organization. "The rest is newly written history."

Ashley's drink was going down much more slowly, but... Well.
At this size, she probably wasn't a drinking heavyweight.
It took a moment to decode, but she finally did, eyes going a little wide in realization. The... previous boss. Something she'd only heard spoken in whispers. She hadn't been there for that at all, barely knew what had happened, beside the fact that there had been treachery involved.
"Yeah, I didn't know that one boss. Heard nasty stuff." She shrugged. It was ultimately irrelevant to her, and, well... sometimes ignorance was bliss.

Tokis drink was also light... so she felt it a little but not as much as she would if it was totally potent. Though she too was thin, if even a little taller... so she was not totally clear. Besides... she was underaged and usually only drink at social things, like tonight.
"Mmm..." She said, shrugging. "Was a hard a**. Good at his job, but not good enough. Did not really know him, minus being hired, did not really get... involved in that drama." They both knew where the man and question, and his wife, now lay. It was something unspoken mostly... but they knew that disloyalty would lead them to. It was a silent reminder behind purple glass.
Blinking a few times, she noticed the other drink was drinking slow... Toki had no intentions on getting drunk tonight, so it was nice to see that maybe she did not either. Not that she would have minded calling a cab, this was just less...hazardous. Maybe.
"Do you dance?"

Ashley indeed had no intention of getting drunk. She found it irresponsible... Knowing she might be needed at any moment.
She remembered ducktaping that drunk senshi to the wall, and she certainly refused for it be her.
Never shall powering up and drunkness shall meet. Bad idea.
"Yup, I do." She grinned. "Shall me ?"
...There was one last cheese stick. She yoinked it.

A short laugh, followed by a fake agitated look, just an eyebrow quirk at the little cheese stick thief.
"Good." Was all she said, downing the last of the martini and hopping off the chair. Toki pulled a little wallet out of her pocket, and put the money on the table for the bartender to find.
Ignore the room... ignore the room...
She waited for Ashley to finish up and to follow.

Ashley, it seemed, had no problem ignoring the room at all. She finished her own drink then quickly seemed to just take the lead on the matter, leading the other girl to the dance floor.
And well, it was obvious that the purple haired girl was at home here, among the music, through she was steering clear of the big pack of other people.
She'd had too many old men grope her a** to want to get too close.

If Ashley would have turned around, She would have caught Toki with her 'poker face' on. Eyes empty, like blank saucers. They say eyes are the windows to the soul... well the honey brown brunettes eyes were reading a 0 on the richter scale at the moment.
Inwardly she was breathing a sigh of relief as the other girl went AWAY from the crowds. She bit her lip, ignoring the roar of people around her and concentrating on the girl in front of her. Perhaps a bit TOO much. Yeah... creeper stare probably. She hoped it did not come off that way, she was starting to like the girl.
~~~~~~~~~ TIME SKIPPPP ~~~~~~~
Laughing softly, she made her way out of the group of tangled bodies. Semi holding the other girls wrist, Toki was trying to get them out of there. While yes, she had her concentration up and was only paying attention to Ashley, as she grew tired the barriers would slowly crumble. She was near her limit now.
"s**t girl, you dance better than i do!" Which wasnt saying much, but it was a compliment!

"Years of training, really !" She laughed. Yeah, as if. Dancing like this always came easy to her. Moving along the beats of the music.
But Ashley was starting to get tired, too. Her little stunt of sneaking through the window had perhaps taken more energy than she had initially thought. She found a table and directed Toki toward it, far away from most others.
Perhaps the brunette's comfortableness hadn't gone completely unnoticed.
"Hmmm... What are you up to, after this ?" She pondered.

"No plans, actually." She released the tension that had built up in her shoulders while they moved through the crowd. Either Ashley was damn intuitive, or she had some good luck.
"I don't know how people can do this constantly. I am very picky with whomever i allow to touch me." That in itself should have been a compliment.... but Toki was also jsut spewing facts.
"Did you want to stay here? I dont know about you but this place is starting to smell" Scrunching her nose up, she shook her head a few times, grinning.
"We could go get actual food, or hell im sure there is some sort of other mischief we could put our paws in."

"I just slap whoever decides to get too wandery. Or start screeching. You would be surprised how many people react when a pretty, underage girl starts screeching."
"Yeah, you're right..." Ugh. Way too right. Getting out of here was definitively the best idea ! "Im not really hungry, through... im certainly up for some... mischief."
Oh, it would be amazing if they found a senshi to harass !

A woman after her own heart. Leaping off the chair with a grin, she popped her elbow out towards Ashley, sort of a gentlemanly like gesture but meant more to being friendly. Toki did not mind the other girls touch, it was the others whom would get a punch to the face for trying.
"As the lady wants." She grinned, pushing the fake role she put herself in a little further. "Shall it be terrorizing the locals, or stealthily acts?" Either way they would terrorize, but the night was young!
She snaked them through the crowd at a almost inhuman pace. They were out the front door quicker than the guard could notice someone he denied was actually LEAVING the room. Too slow!

Ashley accepted the offered arm with a laugh. Well, she wasn't the worse arm decoration around... Or so she liked to think.
Some of these girls were outright sleazes. Ugh. Some of them showed way more boobcrack than she cared to see. Shaggy old boobs. Neeeegh.
She almost wanted the bouncer to notice, if only to have an excuse to power up and punch his face in, but alas, this was not to be. "Whatever you're up for. Im flexible." She winked.
