Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jordan took the shot and downed it; somehow, getting buzzed in Vegas actually felt safe, or close enough. The alcohol burned nicely going down; he'd eaten, yes, but he could feel the first edges of a pleasant buzz coming on.

He smirked. "Yeah, well. I feel plenty lucky."

Harrison took a drink for the road, leaning against Rep as he felt what must be his buzz kicking in too.

"It's cuz...you had an Ace up your sleeve," he snickered. "Luck, hell, that was...that was ******** amazing."

Jerry once again stifled the urge to giggle at the little man, already humming a little something under his breath that involved shoes of a blue suede persuasion when the tiny Elvis gave a pointed gesture. His brows raised and he lurched forward, whistling a long quavering note. "I... oooh only three? You think that'll be enough? There's so many!" Where did he even start? Too many options and his head was swimming but... but... the right ones would speak to him, right?

"Silver chain, definitely... or... or platinum, but... but it would go with her-" weapon's desummoned form, "barrette she wears..." There, sparkling amongst the other charms was a G-clef, adorned with a tiny diamond at the center of the curl of metal. They were all so beautiful.

"How... how do I choose?" He wanted something special. He rarely had money to just... splurge. Especially lately. Christmas had been the last time, and he felt oddly reminiscent of that wonderful shopping trip, dodging from shop to shop finding just the right thing for Cand-

His slender fingers brushed across another set of charms, a pair of birds, one swooping down, one swooping up.

"What... what about these three?"

Dakota only grinned at Marcus before shoving him. "No homo." He repeated before heading over to the two ladies currently holding his older brother hostage with vanilla pudding and cherry pie.

"Excuse me ladies but...I need that one." He plucked Wilson up by the collar of his shirt and dragged him away. "We're going to the circus now Wilson. You can't have your dessert and eat it too...." If Dakota's face could sparkle it would...but he did snatch the plates the girls offered and handed it to the hunter.

He was still a kid after all.

"A circus and I am drunk Oh my god. This is going to be amazing." Dakota dropped the hunter off with the group. "I retrieved Wilson, Let's get out of here before more pretty women come up and seduce him away." Dakota waggled his eyebrows, "Especially if they have sweets......."

"That was a terrible pun," Jordan informed Harrison. "I approve."

He watched with some bemusement as the squabble for possession of Wilson and his dessert plates went on. This could take a minute. Oh, that reminded him - Jerry was still nowhere in sight, busy shopping. Or possibly shopping. Jordan pulled out his phone one more time.

The two giggled as they began to feed Wilson, their faces leaning closer and closer to his and then..."Awwwwwwww!" The handsome young man was pulled from their grasp, leaving both women pouting. Watching him get carried away they called out their goodbyes.

"If you come back later, I'll give you some soft, silky pudding!"

"If you come back later, I'll give you some hot, delicious pie!"

In the giftshop, Hollybell made small, almost purring sounds of approval as Jerry carefully looked over the charms. She didn't have to tell him to think about the one he cared for and choose with all his happiest feelings, so instead she just stroked his back and made encouraging sounds until he decided. And oh...what and interesting set! They would go so beautifully together! She leaned in to look into his eyes, and whatever she saw within them left her smiling, "Well, I think you already know the answer to that, now don't you?"

Sensing that a decision had been made, Little Elvis approached, "Looks like you've got a winner, huh? Give em over and I'll box them up. If you pick out some wrapping paper and ribbon, we'll get you all set up."

"And the card! Unless you plan to make one?" Hollybell's mouth formed a pretty pink O of happy surprise, and she wiggled excitedly against Jerry's arm, "Handmade cards are the best!"

Dakota frowned as Marcus came over.

"I gave it back to him." Dakota frowned deepened into a pout and then brightened up.

"Oh I can has girls too Marcus!??! Does Best man get girls?" Dakota nodded. "I don't wanted to be eaten though." He slurred for a second before pausing, "No okay. No Feathered Zombie ladies please."

he waited.

"Circus now?" he looked at Marcus....and then Jordan like a puppy. If he had a tail...it would wag.

And then he sent a text message to Red.
