Welcome to Gaia! ::

The woman stared across the table at Ed for a moment. Then Hell froze over as the corners of her mouth twitched upwards into a small smile. She placed a hand over her mouth and burst out in a quick laugh, then looked away and closed her eyes. It had to be the alcohol getting to her... she didn't normally even smile.

Her mood did turn sour shortly after as the bartender came up and put a drink on her table in front of her. "From the boys down there." He said gruffly, jerking his head back to the guys she'd caught looking at her earlier.

Koorie felt her eye twitch as she looked disdainfully at the already bought drink and she contemplated on how well it would look dumped over their dumb heads.

She wasn't sure if it was the alcohol, or just the fact that the look on the men's face would be priceless as she completely rejected and insulted them all at once in a very public place, but some how she felt that it would be worth it. Leaning over, she skimmed through the list, noting both the first song Ed recommended, then another one farther down. "Oh, I think we've found a winner.... hell, I know this song backwards and front."

She looked up at Ed and grinned, danger sparkling in her eyes. "Care for an interesting show? I know you said no to karaoke, but I can promise if you can get me a mike here I'll make it worth while.... I always have loved crushing a man's ego."

(Hahaha, that one or my own personal favorite for her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPEh-OgFfhk ))

With a grin that spoke nothing but trouble, Koorie slid out of her chair and tossed a glance casually to the guys from earlier, getting their attention. As instructed by Ed, she picked up a mic on the way to the Jukebox and selected her song. Turning around, she easily commanded the stage, just as she was used to when on a performance with her band.

"This is a special little shout out to the boys who sent me a drink earlier. Lemme tell you just how I feel about you all." Alcohol buzzed or not, Koorie could sing, and her voice easily hit the notes of the song as she started her ego-busting, making sure to point out EXACTLY which morons the song was dedicated to.

As the song progressed, the boys' faces turned from confusion to embarrassment and then finally to pure anger. As they sat there, waiting for their humiliation to end, the glowered at the woman before them who was clearly taking enjoyment in the situation; there would be trouble to follow. When the song ended and Koorie gave a casual wave to the applause, the stood up and confronted her on her way to the bar, blocking her from any means of escaping.

Koorie, hardly containing the taunting tone in her voice, raised an eyebrows. "Oh, didn't like the song?"

The guys stepped back a little as Ed walked over, first noticing the uniform and not caring, then noticing the incredibly menacing Cerberex beside him and stepping back a little. They glanced at one another, waiting to see who was drunk enough to step up and challenge the guy to back off.

Instead, Koorie glided past them and placed a hand on Ed's shoulder, then looked calmly back to the boys. "If you thought my attack on your pride and ego was painful, why don't you stick around and see what else I can tear apart to little, itsy bitsy pieces." She made sure to make an exaggerated glance to the crotch area before giving a wicked smile.

The group didn't hesitate at this point to leave; she was a beauty, but she was a complete b***h and not worth the hassle. They'd just go to another bar and pick up on some other girls there.

"She's pretty convincing though." Koorie commented softly, removing her hand from Ed's shoulder. The show was over, entertainment having stormed off somewhere to lick their wounds and find some easier pray.

She slid into the seat across from him and raised an eyebrow as another fry was dunked into the beer, mildly amused at the fact that he really had meant it when he said he enjoyed it. "Weird.... Hm?" Her attention came back to his question and, for the rare moment, she laughed. "No, no more karaoke for tonight... not unless some other moron decides to buy me another drink. Present company excluded." She raised her hand to flag down someone and put in another order for a mojito.

"Exactly, you've already purchased a drink, and I allowed it." She shrugged, teasing him a bit. "After all, it wasn't you I was insulting with a song now, was it?"

At the discussion about Zair, Koorie couldn't help but lean back ad glance under the table to get a better look at the pokemon. "Well, pokemon are a lot like humans; they don't come in cookie cutter shapes." She glanced up at Ed again, absently twirling a curl of her blue hair as she spoke. "Miu's certainly a bit smaller than your average Vulpix, and she's full grown. Part of it has to do with living on the streets when she was younger I'm sure, but genetics plays an important role in growth as well as nutrition." She wasn't a breeder, but she knew enough about health in general. Not to mention she was a healer.
