"Гавно[sup]1[/sup]..." kat mumbled as she realized she lost yet another game. her green eyes flickered around the cards everyone had placed on the table, still confused on what really happened, but eventually letting out a chuckle. "i almost had ya there for a second!" no, she really didn't. "that's my last hand for right now, i think i should probably take a break before i have nothing but my underwear left." she pushed her chair out from the table before patting the back of the person next to her, leaning down on the table  with a playful grin. "careful about that one, he's a cheater." she nodded her head over to one of the older guys who normally played cards that she made friends with, laughing a bit and wandering off to the bar.

she waited for a spot to clear, rocking back and forth on the heels of her shoes as she hummed quietly to herself. she found it hard to relax sometimes even though it's been over two years since she's seen the insurrection. there was always a certain uneasiness in the pit of her stomach which often became more than she could handle, but tonight it was bearable. her thumb gentle rubbed over the cut she had gained on her lip this last week in the ring, but it wasn't like she wasn't use to having bruises and cuts all over, she was pretty sure that would be a life time problem.

when there was finally enough room at the bar, she took a second trying to think of what to order and before she even processed it her mouth opened up. "um... vodka shots. a lot of them, whoever wants one, really. they're on me." sometimes participating in the fighting ring had its perks. even with losing most of her winnings at the tables, she always had some leftover to use for other people. "Привет[sup]2[/sup]-" she reached out to whoever walked by, tapping them on the shoulder. "come take a shot!" it was more of a demand rather than a question, lightly pulling them over to the bar as the bartender lined up the shots and filled them.

"cheers!" katya let out as she tapped shot glasses with everyone, throwing the shot back before her nose scrunched up at the burning sensation in the back of her throat. "that never gets easier." she said with a small cough to whoever was next to her.

// feel free to have whoever katya grabbed to take a shot be y/c or just like one of the ones at the bar who got one or literally whatever! just a casual bar thread!

[sup]1[/sup] fuck

The casino was busy right now. People hooting and hollering at the tables, putting orders in at the bar, sitting around and chatting. The setting was more bustling than Nikolai preferred. He had been down here for a good while, playing quiet games of blackjack and poker with a small group of guys at a corner table. Now that things were becoming more crazy and chaotic, Nikolai figured that now it was time to head back up to his room.

The young man walked calmly through the crowds, shouldering his way past drunkards and socialites. He was caught off-guard when someone pulled him aside and exclaimed, "Come take a shot!" Nik did not like being dragged into things, especially things he didn't want to do. He is a bit flabbergasted that some random girl straight up grabbed him, but he takes a look at what she's offering -- vodka. "Hm." Nikolai lightly sneers, before drawing back and huffing, "Vodka is usually reserved for when I'm trying to black out." Usually, Nik blacking out meant that he was in party-mode or deep in his emotions. Vodka masked his pain, vodka made it easier to numb himself. He didn't drink it out of pleasure.

Nik declines Katya's offer, saying, "Think I'll stick to something more enjoyable." At least beverages like screwdrivers and malted beer had some sort of flavor to them. Vodka was just straight-up nasty, and Nik was no amateur drinker either.

"and i thought i was a lightweight." she took the second shot only for the same reaction to happen even though she thought it would be easier. "what do you mean? this is so enjoyable." she tried to force a smile onto her face, but it was more than obvious by the look on her face that she didn't even believe a word she said.

her focus was grabbed momentarily as she watched the bartender slide a drink across the bar to someone else, ordering the same thing for herself. did she have any idea on what it was? no, but to be fair she really didn't know much about alcoholic drinks and what was good versus bad anyways. "ya know what, lightweight? i like you already, you seem like a real life of the party. so, what do you actually drink?"

katya was being probably annoying, something she seemed to be very good at, but she never had much of an attention span to even worry about it because before it even crossed her mind that she was, the drink was handed to her and that was what had her attention for the moment. she drank whatever the hell it was and was even more displeased with this. "oh god, why does everything taste like piss?"

She used to be such a frequent flier, sulking and smoking her cigars with a rum and coke, that she didn't want her sudden disappearance to spark any rumors. Along with her was her trusty metal flask, filled, like always, with non-caffenated tea. She also considered this a part of her job as well: she knew plenty of people injured themselves and others while drunk in the casino, so she liked being ready to help whenever it was needed. Salem's eagle-eyed gaze was about to be interrupted by Katya, who happened to be sitting right next to her when she was offering up shots.

"No, thank you. I have this." She gestured to the flask before taking a giant swig, hoping to drive home the point that she was, indeed drinking. Salem returned her gaze back to the casino, assuming that that would be the end of her interaction with the girl.
