"Wine" Tasting and Drinking Games

[superjoanjett]

Anyone showing up for class today would notice some ominous bottles filled with clear greenish liquid sitting on the bar.

"So. Today's wine choice is absinthe," Jessica began. "And yeah, I know. It's not wine. Whatever. We're fucking drinking it."

She pulled off the cap and started to pour a glass for everyone. "The taste profile is that shitty black jelly bean you accidentally ate with a hint of dusty herbs that someone keeps in their pantry but only break it out during thanksgiving dinner so they don't really taste like they should."

"Oh and supposedly it's supposed to make you hallucinate but I guess that's a bullshit urban myth. So if you start seeing fairies or whatever then they're probably real. As for tonight's drinking game we're all going to pretend we're at some teenager sleepover and play truth or dare."

Because the combination of absinthe and truth and dare is a chemical reaction that Jessica wanted to see happen.

"Let's start shall we?"

"I dare you to get up there and sing something," Faye said, pointing to the stage. "Something by Justin Bieber."

Aw yeah, she'd overheard that whole conversation about Travis and his top-played song.

Oh. How the mighty have fallen. Jessica glared at Faye.

"I don't know any of his songs." she said, hoping to get out of that one.

"When has that ever stopped anyone at karaoke?" Faye challenged, pulling out her phone. "Oh, look, here. 'Justin Bieber Lyric Database.'"

She offered her phone out with a smile. "Here you go. Shouldn't be a problem now!"

Ew. There it was. Damn Faye and catching on to how the internet works on this world. And knowing about Justin Bieber.

There was a mighty sigh followed by an audible "ugh"

She looked at the phone, picked a song at random and headed to the stage.

She glared at the band and told them the song and then began to "sing" with as little inflection as possible.

Ooh, ooh
Across the ocean, across the sea
Startin' to forget the way you look at me now
Over the mountains, across the sky
Need to see your face
I need to look in your eyes
Through the storm and through the clouds
Bumps in the road and upside down now
I know it's hard babe, to sleep at night
Don't you worry
'Cause everything's gonna be alright, ai-ai-ai-a'ight
Be alright, ai-ai-ai-a'ight
Through the sorrow
And the fights
Don't you worry
'Cause everything's gonna be alright, ai-ai-ai-a'ight
Be alright, ai-ai-ai-a'ight
All alone, in my room
Waiting for your phone call to come soon
Anf for you, oh, I would walk a thousand miles
To be in your arms, holding my heart
Oh I
Oh I
I love you
And everything's gonna be alright, ai-ai-ai-a'ight
Be alright, ai-ai-ai-a'ight
Through the long nights
And the bright lights
Don't you worry
'Cause everything's gonna be alright, ai-ai-ai-a'ight
Be alright, ai-ai-ai-a'ight
You know that I care for you
I'll always be there for you
I promise I'll just stay right here, yeah
I know that you want me to
Baby, we can make it through, anything
'Cause everything's gonna be alright, ai-a'ight
Be alright, ai-a'ight
Through the sorrow and the fights
Don't you worry, 'cause everything's gonna be alright, ai-a'ight
Be alright, ai-a'ight
Through the sorrow and the fights
Don't you worry, cause everything's gonna be alright

When she was done she just dropped the mic on the stage and headed back to the bar.

Well, Nick had been ruined.

So he was trying to watch Jessica, but like, watching through a little window he made with his hands to block out the existential crisis playing onstage.
