Vanessa Lynn and Tessa Laity both walked into the Dirty Bastard, soaked from the rain outside and dying for a drink. Vanessa had thought that she would have to twist Tessa's arm to get her to leave work behind and come have some fun with her, but it turns out that no twisting was needed. Tessa was ready to let work go... if only for a few hours. Or at least she thought she was. After the two girls got to the bar and ordered drinks, Tessa immediately pulled out her phone and started checking her emails and texts, just in case anything had come up.

"Tessa..." Vanessa whines, seeing the phone out. "You promised."

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm just--" Tessa starts before Vanessa rips the phone out of her hands and drops it into her own purse.

"No more. You are going to drink tonight, and you're not going to worry about where the rest of the girls are, or if we have some show coming up, or if our lyrics are good enough, or anything even somewhat pertaining to the band. You are only going to worry about who in here looks cute enough for you to sleep with, and if they're single or not."

Tessa starts to argue, but she knew that Vanessa wasn't going to let up. That was final, whether she liked it or not. "Fine..." She moans back, taking a sip of her drink as she starts to chip the rest of the nail polish off of her thumb. Vanessa shakes her head and looks around, deciding if they were going to have fun tonight, she was going to have to be the one who starts it.


OOC: Open to anyone. :)

Vanessa's hearing immediately closes in on the sound of bitterness and disappointment towards men - something that she knew a hell of a lot about - and knew that these were going to be their friends for the night. She calls the bartender over and points to Ansley and Veronica. "Two shots for them," She says loudly, hoping that the girls who weren't very far down the bar from them would hear her. "They look like they need it."

Tessa looks up from her now polishless thumb and down at the two girls Vanessa had targeted. "Oh, they're the girls with the clothes and stuff..." She comments, and Vanessa shrugs.

"I don't care who they are. They look like they need some alcohol."

"Hey, no problem," Vanessa says back when Veronica and Ansley sit down next to them. "I know a couple of people who need some more alcohol when I see them. I'm Vanessa," she holds out her hand to the two of them. "And this is Tessa."

"Hi!" Tessa gives a little wave before going back to her drink.

"And we're here to drink away our problems... much like yourself."

Vanessa picks up her drink. "Cheer to that, hon," she says back with a laugh, taking a long drink of her beer. "So men troubles are what you two are having? Poor things. Rant. Tell us about it. We're both single, so we can take it." She winks and giggles, leaning forward, in her ready-to-listen pose.

Tessa takes a drink of her beer, and has to swallow it quickly when Ansley speaks to her. "Uem-- Thanks!" She says, trying to catch her breath from swallow the beer too quickly. She looks down at her clothes. "I don't think your clothes come in my size, or else I would buy them." She laughs a little, hoping Ansley doesn't take that as an insult.

"Ugh, that's really fucking shitty of them," Vanessa says, shaking her head, taking another sip of her beer. She looks Veronica up and down and smirks. "Uh, yeah. He's a fucking fool if he's leaving that all alone at home." She giggles. She had always had more of a thing for women than men, but she wasn't about to openly hit on Veronica. Not when she's in mourning over her shitty boyfriend.

Tessa shrugs and orders another shot for Ansley to replace the one that Veronica had downed. "Great. It's actually really diffcult to find XL sized clothing are size 10 jeans that are actually stylish," she says back. She wore closed to a size L, but she loved her shirts being loose and non-fitted. "I'll have to shop there more often."

Vanessa laughs. "Oh, don't tempt me, hon. I'll be buying you another drink in a few moments if you do," she says back with a wink. "Does he do this a lot, or is this a first time thing?" She asks.

Tessa looks at Ansley. "They're too small for you?! But you're... you're tiny... at least compared to me, you are!" She says back, laughing. She gives her a bit of a sad smile and takes another sip of her beer. "Jerk of a boyfriend? Dump him. I'm serious, don't let him get you down this badly."

Vanessa makes a face. "You're a strong woman. If I hadn't talked and seen a guy I was dating for so long, I would have dumped him and moved on with somebody else already - no matter how much I lo- liked him." She giggles and winks. "I get bored with men too quickly. Maybe the fact that you're not ready to move on with somebody else already means that you shouldn't yet."

Tessa makes a face. "I think if your new car stops working so quickly after you buy it, then it was a faulty car to start with, no matter how many repairs you've made on it," she says back, and then shakes her head. "Don't listen to me, though. I haven't had a boyfriend since college. I'm all washed up." She laughs.

Vanessa smirks and shakes her head. "This is why I stopped having relationships. Meaningless sex in hotel rooms is just ten times better," She says back with a laugh. "Also, why I stopped dating men as often. They're stupid and don't understand. Women understand and use that against each other. I would rather the person making me upset know that they make me upset rather than just thinking that everything is going to be okay if they continue to act like assholes."

Tessa laughs. "It may not be as stupid of an analogy, hon. It actually may be right on par." She finishes off her beer and orders another one. She shrugs and smirks a little bit. "I just haven't found a guy that's really into plus size Baltimoreans with a Bachelors in English Lit and are also the manager and singer in an all girl dance group." She laughs at the ridiculousness of her life. "No. No, I don't appeal to many."

Vanessa nods and laughs. "You don't have to ask me twice," she says back, turning to the bartender. "Everclear on the rocks, hon! Thanks!" She says and then turns back to Veronica. "No, a relationship takes too much work and would require me to be much less self-centered - a trait and I am not quite ready to commit to yet!" She pulls out a cigarette and then offers the pack to Veronica. "You want?"

Tessa gives Ansley a smile. "Yeah, thanks..." She says back. Hearing that she was beautiful and smart was something that her mother said to cheer her up. She didn't need to hear it from a perfect stranger in a bar, no matter how comforting it was. "Oh, hon, you know that depressed people are a majority of the patrons they get around here," she says back. "They're probably just happy to see that it's a nice looking woman rather than an unemployed, overweight middle-aged man." She laughs.

"Oh, honey, you're gorgeous anyway. You could use some wrinkles. I wouldn't turn you away if you had some." Vanessa winks. "I guess it's a give-and-take with me and relationships. I don't want to care about somebody that much, but I want somebody to care that much about me. I miss it. I just don't miss the heartache and constant jealousy." She laughs.

"Hey, Ben & Jerry's is usually my go-to boyfriend," Tessa says back with a laugh. "Um, yeah. Manager and singer of the girl group. We're called Cherry Street. It's okay if you've never heard of us. I would think less of you if you had." She laughs again and shrugs.
