Rebellious, that's what drinking was. Or so Arlo liked to think. He'd never really admit to why he did it, not really. Sharply veering away from that train of thought, he took a swig from his bottle filled with devil's brew. Well, not really, but it might as well have been. The man couldn't exactly remember what it was, only that Ezra had obtained and it Arlo hadn't questioned free booze. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, and all that.
Alley drinking looked sleazy. There was paper and trash littered in the small space, though Arlo had refused to go down any further due to the smell. It was one thing looking like a creep in the dead of night—it was a whole other smelling like one. "Why the hell are we out here, anyways?" Arlo groaned, shifting against the wall. "I can feel the piss freezing inside me, dude."

Ezra grabbed the bottle of peach vodka out of Arlo's wimpy hands and poured it into his mouth. It was awful, just like his friend's attitude. "Don't question me Arlo." He commanded, a bit of vodka flying out of his mouth. Sure, it was cold and dark and it smelled like hobo, but it was a place to get good and wasted half a block from the club. "I do this all the time. Drink enough and you won't even notice." Hoping to provide a good example for his adorable schoolmate, Ezra downed another gigantic swig of the bottle. His gag reflex kicked and he almost coughed it out. That would have been embarrassing.
He passed the bottle back to Arlo, watching the remaining liquid slosh around in the dark. He could hear the bass drop from here. "Finish it man. Then we can finally line up." His insides buzzed with excitement. Or was that just the alcohol talking? Either way, he was ready to tear it up and someone pretty to hit on. "This is going to be so awesome!"
@arlo : hope its ok had to rush a bit D:

"I have school tomorrow, you know. I don't think it would be a good idea to show up with a hangover." Regardless, Arlo finished off the bottle and tossed it away, mildly noting the sound it made as the glass broke. He always figured you had to mix vodka with something. He didn't like it straight.
He could already feel the booze working into his system. He was only just past the point of buzzed, but it didn't really matter. If Ezra had any say—which his companion no doubt would—Arlo would be getting much worse than buzzed.
"Why couldn't we have lined up and drank at the same time?" Arlo whined. Because it was freezing and he wasn't too keen on waiting for fifteen minutes while his buzz wore off. Even so, he wasn't all that impatient to get inside. It'd be boring without anything to do, though.

Ezra shrugged. "Don't be such a keener. It's not like anybody else is paying attention." He waved his hand dismissively in Arlo's general direction and started moving out of the mouth of the alley. He kicked at the bottle shards on the way. "If we did that we would have been arrested. Didn't school teach you that?"
He didn't really understand why Arlo was so attached to that sham of an education. Burying your head in books written by dusty old men who put ten years into a sheet of paper on their walls didn't sound at all productive to him.
In any case, the vodka was working it's magic. The sidewalk spun underneath his sneakers as he filed into the line. Arlo looked miserable, as always. Ezra could think of a few ways to fix that. "Trust me, we'll find some nice girls to dance with and it'll be great." Well, he hoped they did. If not, the bar was always a viable option. Actually, with Arlo it might turn out to be the only option. CODED BY DUCKIE OF GS |

Arlo snorted at the the school comment, but didn't say anything as he followed Ezra. He could have cared less about what ZEUS tried to teach about teen drinking. The boy was already too far gone, anyways.
He wasn't too dizzy yet, he could still keep his balance fairly well. Had he been sober, he probably would have laughed at Ezra. But in the state Arlo was in, he was just as prone to missteps and nasty falls as the other boy, so he didn't chuckle. Not even a peep came out of his mouth as he went to Ezra's side.
"Nice girls. Right." Arlo wasn't a fan of the typical female club-goer. He went to places like this for the music and the alcohol, not have a girl stuck to his side on the dance floor the entire night. "Let's just get in and see how it all works out, yeah?"

"It'll be fantastic. It always is with me." Ezra threw back, as if Arlo were insulting his ability to have a good time. The line moved rapidly till Ezra was at the front. He flashed his ID and was subjected to the usual check before being allowed in. He never carried drugs to the club, only his inebriated self.
Once he was in, Ezra took a minute to bathe in the atmosphere and the music that pumped through the air, rattling his blood. The floor wasn't even that sticky, and only two people had bumped into him. It was going to be a great night. He checked behind him for Arlo. "We're here. Are you ready to stop being such a grump?" He teased. Strobe lights lit the other-wise dim club in every colour. They turned his flesh cyan. Looking to his right, Ezra spotted the bar. "Let's get some more shooooots!" He whooped, rushing to the counter to slam down the tips he got last week. Hopefully Arlo was behind him. CODED BY DUCKIE OF GS |

Arlo couldn't argue with that. He still rolled his eyes, though, as he trailed after Ezra in the line. Arlo followed the same procedure as his companion and was let inside the establishment, grimacing at how the line and had grown in size since they'd gotten in.
Walking in was always an experience, no matter what club. It took a few long second for Arlo to get used to the change in atmosphere; the rise in temperature due to the mass of bodies crowded together, and the smell that was a mix of sweat, vomit, and some other unidentifiable substance. He almost lost his friend in a sudden shade of blue, before he visually caught hold of him and followed him—yep, straight to the bar. Arlo would have been surprised if it had been any other place, really.
He was a bit more melancholy as he got ordered something to drink, seating himself beside his friend. "If you get smashed, there's no guarantee I'll be able to get you home. I'll be drunk too, y'know."

Ezra was flippant, as ever. Even without the alcohol he could get drunk on the air alone. The bass reverberated in the cavity of his chest, as if replacing a heartbeat. he turned to face Arlo, eyes wild. "I can handle both of us, stop being such a lame-eo." He joked, half dizzy. When he turned back to the counter a bartender had magicked herself in front of him. His grin only grew wider.
"Four screaming orgasms, babe." He paused to wink, "Thanks. Don't need change."
The drinks came out quickly, and just as soon Ezra was back in Arlo's face, this time with two drinks teeterubg in hands. "Get these down quick and we can get to the main event." The pinkette's gaze drifted towards the dance floor, where a veritable blob of human bodies smacked against each other in the dark. This was better than home. CODED BY DUCKIE OF GS |

"I’m sure you can." Arlo wasn’t sure at all, actually. In fact, he had little hope that by the end of the night either one of them would be sober enough to get themselves home. But the alcohol was hitting his system, and suddenly he didn’t care. He’d probably be able to call Orion for a ride home later, unaware of how hard his phone would be able to navigate under the influence.
Arlo grabbed his drink and downed it fast as he could without gagging. He followed Ezra’s look to where the mass of bodies where, moving like a group of multicolored worms. Sober it would have been ugly; now it was almost attractive. It looked a lot more fun than just standing there. Arlo nudged Ezra. "S’ go." He urged.

He barely needed encouragement. The drinks were down his throat in ten seconds flat. The trick to drinking was to never taste it- or so he'd learned. With little regard for Arlo, he dove into the crowd and managed to carve out a breath's space in the middle for his companion. If he could find him, anyway. The strobe lights burnt his irises and things were getting blurrier by the second. It felt like the only thing holding him together was the vibration of bass in his ribcage.
"ARLO!" He laughed, as if anyone could hear him in the middle of a beat drop. "ISN'T THIS GREAT?" He shouted that into a random ginger's ear. Backing up, he found another Arlo and asked "WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING ORION?" When the dude didn't answer, Ezra simply turned around. Well, the real Arlo would answer him eventually. In the meantime, his right fist was preoccupied with keeping rhythm. CODED BY DUCKIE OF GS |

He could just barely chase after Ezra, immersing himself in the crowd worming crowd. It could have been seconds or minutes or hours, but Arlo hadn’t seen Ezra in an amount of time and he only just noticed enough to have it not bother him.
Eventually—impossibly—he could hear some tickle of Ezra’s voice beyond the music. He turned this way and that before he caught the pink hair that was swimming with a green light pattern, yelled back when he heard something about Orion. He could have laughed to himself, it was funny. Orion, in a club? Yeah right. ”He wouldn’t like it!” It was probably too quiet but he didn’t care.

AND I SAID
HELLO, HELLO HE THREW HIS ARM AROUND ARLO when he finally caught up. Thank god, Ezra was about to think he went home or something. "Have youuu tried it yet?" He teased. He knew Orion was so chill he could be dead and true, it was hard picturing him doing much at all in a night club, but that didn't mean he wouldn't necessarily dislike it. "You should get him to come with usss some time!" If Ezra was slurring, it was because his consumption was starting to hit him like a ton of bricks. A girl bumped into his back he felt his stomach start to churn. Well, shit. It was a bit early for an exit but...
"Sorry dude, I'll be rightt baaack." He let go of Arlo and took an unsteady step into the maw of the crowd. If he were in his right mind he might think puking up his guts was embarrassing, but right now it just seemed like an excuse to dump more alcohol down his throat.
