The bar was busy, as it always seemed to be on weekend nights. Go figure. The lighting remained strategically low. Light enough to see the individual you were interacting with, dark enough to remain unable to discern attractiveness. The perfect set up to keep everyone happy and spending their money loosely on alcohol, just like every other bar. It was generic. But somehow, it seemed to attract more than its fare share of clients. Especially on this night, there seemed to be quite a few Spartans wandering about, each with their own particular preoccupations.
Sitting at the Bar was one woman who prided herself in both her appearance and her confidence. Although on this night, both were lacking. Her remained undone, in sloppy, reddish-brown waves. She was wearing most of her armor as per usual, but it was dull - suffering from a lack of upkeep lately, something that would normally never happen. No, on this night she was not up to her typical shenanigans of working the room to find the most eligible bachelor to take home for the evening. Because last week, in a bar not far from where she now sat, she had run into her ex. And she hadn't stopped thinking about that traumatic event since.
Leaning up against the wall, beer in hand, was another partially armored Spartan. He, unlike the female, was completely on the prowl. A mixture of both his mother's and his father's soaring confidence, nothing could bring Duncan down - not even the realization that he'd been left by his hard-fought crush (and baby momma - yuck). He now sought to settle his minor preoccupations with she-who-must-not-be-named by finding someone else - at least for the night. His eyes scanned the room to seek out the prettiest, albeit still attainable, female he could find. With all the others at this bar there had to be someone here, right? Cinnamon Panda (They'll be acting completely separate, I just wanted to establish where Heidi is going to be while she watches all of this go down. xD)

Truth be told, this was Alyssa's first time visiting a bar. She had only recently turned old enough to enter such establishments, and while she had little interest in alcohol, she really just wanted to know why so many young adults like her, and less young ones as well, enjoyed frequenting clubs and bars so much.
Moments before, she had ordered a Long Island iced tea, which had sounded safe enough for a first drink. Taking a sip, it wasn't terrible, but the alcohol left an odd burning sensation in her throat.
Eying her surroundings, she had noticed earlier that there were a significant number of Spartans at this particular joint. She wondered if any of them were acquainted with her family. Armors were in various states of wear, some individuals had clearly put effort into cleaning theirs before heading here, whereas some seemed like they'd been rolling in a mud pit.
Her own armor, on the other hand, clearly showed she had never seen actual combat. She wore it more out of habit than anything else, but right now it made her feel a tad bit self-conscious.
Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she steered her way into a more quiet corner of the room, where there happened to be a small free table. She'd have to mentally prepare herself for a moment before actually trying to interact with anyone. What did people even talk about at bars? She wasn't here to look for that kind of fun, which was what she'd learned was usually the point for a lot of people.

Glancing around once more, Duncan saw a raven-haired beauty get handed an LIT at the bar. He watched, careful to check whether or not she was with anyone, and determined that she was alone when she strode toward a quiet corner by herself. Duncan grinned, feeling like he was in luck. Everyone knew that coming to the bar by yourself meant you were looking for trouble. Slugging back the rest of his beer, he set the glass down on the nearest table, and began to brainstorms things to say. Honestly, he wasn't all that good at picking up girls - he just thought he was. But when it came down to it, he really struggled to actually think of anything to say.
Shrugging, he started towards the female, noting happily that he glimpsed a bit of shining red armor. He always loved the Spartan girls - there was just something fiestier about them that he really, truly enjoyed. Sidling up next to the girl, Duncan stated, "I'm sorry, but from across the room I got lost in your eyes. Any interest in returning the favor and getting lost in my sheets?" He gave a grin and a quick wink, sure that line was bound to work.
From down the bar, Heidi sat, lowering her head to the bar, feeling awful for the girl Duncan had just approached. She'd had her own encounters (yes, encounters, plural) with Duncan previously and none of them had ended well. He was persistent, overconfident, and downright annoying. But she had to give him credit for trying, especially with women so obviously out of his league. Hopefully someone gave him the positively negative response he deserves soon. It would be a justice for women everywhere.

Alyssa had noted a much taller male heading in her direction, for a moment wondering about his intentions. As soon as he stopped next to her, it was already clear. He was one of those guys. Yes, she knew a lot of people came to bars and clubs simply to 'hook up', but knew it was also possible to simply get acquainted with others in such places. Perhaps she should have sought out a club of somewhat higher class for that purpose, though..
Ugh, even that pickup line was so cheesy. Did this guy really think it was that easy to get a girl's armor off?
Smiling sweetly at the man, she tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear.
"Wow, where'd you get that line from - 'The Douchebag's Guide To Picking Up Chicks?'" she asked, scoffing. "Sorry, I'm not desperate or drunk enough for that to work."
She decided to wait and see what kind of an excuse he had for his sad display of verbal skills, taking another sip of her drink.

Duncan chuckled at her response. It was completely expected; never did the first line actually work with a girl. You had to get to the second, the fourth, the fifteenth, in his experience for it to actually work. So of course, he decided to continue. "Not drunk enough? I can fix that for you, if it'll get you to come home with me." No, he didn't really expect that to work, either, but he had to try something. 'She's just too hot not to try,' Duncan thought, nearly laughing aloud at the double entendre.
He watched her tuck her hair behind her ear and leaned on the table, interested. Taking his other paw he totally thought it'd be a great idea to reach forward and tuck the other strands behind, too. Because girls loved that kind of crap, right?

Ruler of Everything Wow I am super sorry I have been all over the place so I just kinda forgot to reply oops
Flinching at the sudden touch, she slapped away his hand, bright blue eyes shooting a piercing glare at Duncan.
"Excuse you, did I grant permission to touch me?" the girl practically hissed at this point. She didn't like physical contact much, even when it came to family. Perhaps this dude seriously needed to have his a** handed to him, after all.

Duncan raised his eyebrows at her response. Although she had a hostile edge to her, he was sure she was remarking that she'd definitely go home with him sober, if only he tried harder. But apparently touching her was completely out of the question. For now.
"Whoa whoa whoa, sweetheart, there's no need to be so grumpy! And you're free to follow me home sober if you'd like. All the better to remember it." Duncan threw in another wink and a lighthearted chuckle as if he was in any way joking. Unfortunately for everyone within earshot, he wasn't joking in the slightest. Duncan wasn't the type to "throw in the towel" early in the game when he thought he still had a chance. And he pretty much always thought he still had a chance. What woman wouldn't want a night with him?!
Across the bar a ways, Heidi sat in disbelief, sipping on her drink and shaking her head. If her previous response was any indication, Duncan was about to be in deep s**t with the girl he was harassing.
