Heart of a Warrior

“Thanks.” The man replied as he examined Elijah’s outfit, letting out a small laugh. “I’m use to the heat so it won’t bother me much.” Eirik said as he contained his grin. The only outfits I could find showed off a lot more then just my guns.“ He said with a shake of his head. "Besides this outfit is a classic, Clint Eastwood’s, A Few More dollars. So a little bit of sweat is worth it.”

“I’m sure there are some hot film girls that are into whatever that is,” Elijah said, before taking another sip of his drink. “Speaking of hot girls, are you dating anyone or have anyone who you’re looking to take off the market?” he asked, glancing over the man he knew more about than he knew. “Just so I know not to hit on them all night.” 

As Eirik continued to contemplate why he was their, a friendly face appeared. Looking down at the girl the man’s eyes slightly widened at how well she looked her outfit. Turning his head from side to side Eirik looked back down at her. “Like I told you, head turner.” He said playfully. “I wasn’t disassociating, I was just thinking about how long I should stay for.”

“Actually this town is a lot more sex driven than I thought it would be. So, clearly I’m in the right outfit but I also keep finding myself distracted from my goal,” Jade said, with a laugh and a nudge. “You are staying the whole time, okay?”

“It’s a good thing I don’t mind not fitting in. Besides being a cheap hooker is so outdated anyway. I’d much rather be a high class escort.” The man said playfully.“ After taking a sip of his beer Eirik shook his head in shock. "Your not that far off. It’s from, For A Few Dollars.”

“Then I’m dead on because you’re literally a buff Clint Eastwood, I just wasn’t specific about the movie,” Talon said, with a laugh. “I wish I would have thought of doing something cool like that.” 

“Let’s do it, I’m not nearly inebriated enough to handle this party, oh ok” He said as the women dragged him along. “I prefer grape but strawberry works.”

“You know what, then we will do jello shots and grape gatorade shots. It’s the best of both worlds,” she said, before gesturing to the bartender. She really didn’t care what her tab was reaching tonight because she was hooking up with the bartender so she knew it would at least be half off. 

“I can’t speak for everybody else. But I had to order mine custom because everything I found either made me look like a cheap hooker. Or just didn’t fit what so ever. One the the issues a man of my size faces.” The man explained with a shrug.

“I feel like cheap hooker is the theme for half of the party so you would have blended in,” Talon said, with a small laugh. “I prefer this, though. It’s really cool. You look like a buff Clint Eastwood,” he added, before finishing his drink. 

Laughing at Iris’s comment Eirik takes the jello shot from from the girl with a grin. “I don’t think anybody with a working pair of eyes would have a problem with that.” He said playfully. And if they do just let me know. And I’m pretty sure it’s still just cheers.“ He said with a chuckle

“Yehaw is more fun to say,” she pointed out, before taking the jello shot and throwing the plastic away. “We should have like five more, they taste like strawberry,” she said, grabbing the man’s arm and dragging him over to the jello shot table. 

Open Starter: Even location: House Party @nightreststarters

Walking through the party aimlessly Eirik wasn’t really sure what he was doing their. Not only was this the first time he was at a party in a long time. It was his first time at the Estates for even longer. So the man felt completely out of place. After finding the kitchen and putting the bottles he had brought with the rest. Lost in thought Eirik wondered how he was going to make it through the night.

Jade wasn’t quite buzzed yet, because it was still early, which basically meant she was adjusting her outfit every ten minutes because she was regreting wearing something so... out there. Recognizing the large man in the kitchen she walked over, “You are not drunk enough to disassociate yet.” 

As Eirik continued to walk around awkwardly, feeling out of place. Not only was this his first party in a while. It was his first time being in the Estates, even longer. As the man was admiring some of the art work he noticed a familiar face approach. “I’d assume the kitchen, that’s were I left the bottles I brought.” The man explained as he cracked open his beer.

Elijah walked over to the kitchen and put his bottles down before pouring himself a drink and walked back over to Eirik. “The outfit is cool, but you’re going to get really hot when this place gets crowded. That’s why you needed to show off your guns.”

was it or second or third drink already? who knew. but for once, she was planned on loosening up and having fun. even for one night, it was something she deserved. "part of me is really hoping they at least play old town road." she said before taking a sip of her drink. or at least play a few country songs. with the party being a western theme, it would be nice if they did that. "what's one country song you would play here tonight if you were the DJ?"

Talon felt kind of underdressed as he watched everyone in the building dressed to the nines. He should have known that everyone would take the theme really seriously. He dressed so casually that it almost felt like he was standing out, instead of blending into the crowd, as he preferred. He took a quick drink from his bottle and decided to try and be social. "Did everyone have these outfits just sitting in their closets or did everyone go shopping for this?" he asked the person grabbing the drink on the bar beside him.

"I considered leaving off the hat and accessories so that I can be dressed as a normal hooker for the party, but this outfit is just a lot more fun. I might dress like this all the time" Iris said, to the person she was handing the jello shot to. "Cheers or howdy or whatever."

Elijah was glad to see that other people decided to rock the wild west theme all day, because if not he would have looked pretty crazy. Taking a moment to look around, he decided that Dilara's house wasn't as nice as his, but still very nice. "Where do I put the bottles," he asked the first person he made eye contact with. He never liked to go to a party empty handed so he brought a bottle of vodka, tequila, and whisky to hopefully cover the basics.

"I didn’t have any reason to since I was going to be at the after party working anyway. But since I don’t have any other options. Far be it from me to miss out on even a second., of you and all you cowgirl glory. He said as he slightly bite his lip. "Well that all depends on what your definition of Good vs Evil is.” He said playfully.

“Well, if I don’t see you at the house party then I’m going to hide under a cloak for the after party so that my cowgirl glory is a secret,” Jade said, with a laugh. She took a long sip before bringing her eyes back up to his. “Good is Choking and bad is strangling.” 

"I might have been inclined to accept if I wasn’t so invested in the prospect of this new book of yours.” Letting out a small chuckle the man tilted his head slightly. “Yeah, unfortunately no matter how I present myself. Some people tend to view me a certain way. He shrugged, Eirik couldn’t help but let a grin slip past his lips. As he listened to the possible outcome that the girl was explaining. "I mean if that’s even a slight possibility. I might have to actually consider going now.” He said playfully, he was still on the fence about going to the party at the Estates. Since he was working that night at the after party, Eirik was considering not going.

“Might have to consider going? That’s hilarous that you think you even have the option to skip it,” Jade said, with a playful roll of her eyes. “You would regret missing my outfit, and I would have to use my lasso for evil instead of good,” she said, with a giggle, before taking a sip and noticing the drink was actually starting to get low.
