Aesthetics of Badassery [Monday, Period One]

[doubleohblonde]

Bond's class actually had a teacher this week, and had been told to meet him at the Danger Shop, which was set up as a high-end bar, with a wide array of bottles behind it and the ubiquitous coffee and pastries on top of it.

"I apologise for my unavoidable absence last week, though I understand that Bobby performed admirably, and would like to state for the record that chess is one of the more badass games out there," Bond said, leaning against the bar. "But for those of you with differing opinions, I hope this week's is more to your satisfaction."

"Now, even if you have no interest or desire in consuming alcohol, which should be all of you, given you're underage in this state, the fact remains that having well rounded knowledge of the various kinds of alcohol, be they wines, beers, or in today's case, spirits, will improve your badass credentials in the eyes of many, especially if you are able to pull off that trick of being able to not only name the kind of drink in a blind tasting, but also to narrow down where it came from." Not that Bond had ever tried impressing anyone like that. Not that could be proved anyway.

"So today you'll be experimenting with making cocktails, there are refrence guides if you want to try existing recipes, or you can attempt to devise your own. Since the drinks are all simulated, there will be no actual alcohol content in anything you try." It would probably be wrong on a number of levels for him to give them real drinks, and besides they already had Caritas for that. "This exercise is merely so you can understand how various tastes work or don't work together."

"Um, why would anyone wear underwear that itched? That seems totally backwards," Caroline replied, wondering what made him think that girls would do anything that made them scratch their rears on purpose.

"They might if they thought they looked good," he pointed out. He grinned triumphantly. "Like high heels!"

"Yes, but you can see my shoes," Caroline reminded him, just barely managing not to give his shin a tap as she recalled the no touching rule. "You can't see my underwear."

And now Bobby was thinking about her underwear. A lot. Thank you, Caroline.

He looked down at her shoes, and all that leg made him think about her underwear more, and...

"...you might wear them for you?"

Again, not something to think about.

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

"I didn't say they weren't pretty!" God, she thought he was weird. "Just not itchy. You're totally imagining my underwear now, aren't you?"

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

Bobby flushed bright red. "No!" he lied squeakily.

Change the subject. Change it now. "What drink were you making?"

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"Liar," she sing-songed before turning back to her barely sipped glass. "But I won't ignore your sad attempt at a topic change since I would actually prefer not to know exactly what I'm wearing in your spank bank image." She held up her murky glass. "I was trying to mix a whiskey sour but it just tastes sour and nasty. Ew."

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

Bobby gaped at her for a long moment. She'd said words that he knew, but they sounded so different coming out of a girl's lips.

Oh God. He was going to die because...

"See...cause...with the name? I thought it would be sour?"

Caroline rolled her eyes as his obvious issues with her frankness. He was lucky she had a boyfriend or she'd probably take that as an invitation to be a little cruel. "Yes, but not gross," she said, shoving the drink at him. "Try it. Without choking."

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

For everyone's sake, it was probably good that Caroline did have a boyfriend.

He took the glass, still totally focusing on it because this was the class assignment! Very important! Way more important than whatever underwear Caroline was or was not wearing. "It smells weird," he pointed out, taking a little sip and making an awful face. "...Gross."

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"I think it's the whiskey, having no redeeming alcoholic content to make us remember why we should ever take a second swig. Ugh," she shuddered at the idea. "What're you making?"

Hopefully nothing with a dirty name.

"So whiskey never tastes good? I've got an apple martini," Bobby told her, offering her his glass. "I liked the green."

Caroline was no stranger to sharing strange drinks and sipped it for taste. "Mmm, who knew you'd end up with the girliest drink ever?"

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

He frowned at her. "...this is girly? But it's apples! How are apples girly?"

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

"It's pretty and almost sweet," she pointed out. "Guys tend to be anti colorful and tasty drinks. They like pain and grossness. It's why you guys fail at stuff like keeping your laundry under control and food in the fridge." This was obvious, no?

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"I don't like pain and grossness." But then he and Jack had also done laundry voluntarily on a Saturday night.

"Huh." Caroline looked at him for a moment and wondered if Jake was seriously wrong. Like seriously. "I never considered that. You know, I like to think I have excellent gaydar, but then, my mom didn't and look where that got her."

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

Bobby totally missed that particular implication. "Where did it get her?"

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"Divorced and dealing with me on her own other than one weekend a month." Speaking of, she so needed to call her dad sometime.

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry. My mom too," Bobby shared. "Well, not the divorced part cause our dad died." He didn't seem to be too worried about that. "I don't get what you meant."

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"I meant my dad has a boyfriend," she supplied. "Sorry if that was vague. I'm used to the whole world knowing."

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Yeah, so does my uncle," Bobby said with a shrug. Give him a moment...another one... "Wait, do you mean? I don't want a boyfriend."

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"Are you sure?" Caroline was giving him a very careful look. "You are kind of...different in that smart and clean way."

Re: Make Drinks! - AoB [04]

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"No, I'm pretty sure I'm just weird," Bobby told her.

"Well, you'll know for sure once you have you own girl to question about her underwear. Oh! Speaking of which, how were your dates?" He probably didn't like the way she winked when she said that. Most people didn't.
