Whitney could count on one hand how many times she had been in this neon colored bar. It had its charm for sure. Many of her classmates and peers frequented this place on the weekends and once a blue moon she had let someone talk her into coming along. Tonight though she was here of her own accord. If only because it felt too sad and dangerous to sit alone at home and drink. There were a great deal of things you could do by yourself. Drinking wasn't on her list of those. She felt out of place though. What was one supposed to order? Was it fine to sit by the bar when you were not with someone? What if someone she knew were to come by..

Before her thoughts could drive her back out, she made eye contact with the tall, all too handsome bartender. "Can you make me something strong but not overpowering?" she asked, a tad nervous even to do that. Was it weird that at twenty four years old, she had no idea what she liked?

Around twenty four hours sitting and sleeping in a damn hospital chair was more than Haleh could take. Needing a break, she had located the electric shuffle and used the walk over to ease her nerves just a bit with several cigarettes. She didn't smoke a lot, especially considering how it so easily affected lungs and in her case, cardio for a dance performance, but when she couldn't have stronger substances she had found it a little bit. Walking up to the bar, she was grateful to find it was quiet. "Two shots of patron please? One for me, and one for you." she said, unable not to eye the bartender a little longer than she probably should. God he was all too easy on the eyes. "Gotta curse whoever gave humans the idea of siblings.. I swear mine is on my last nerve.."

Against all odds Kane was finding himself at the Anniversary Masquerade Ball. The second he had gotten wind of it, he had immediately decided against showing up. Great parts of his adolescent years had been spent feeling like a penguin and forced to play dress up as his adoptive parents had either gone to or thrown quite a lot of these kinds of parties with the high society. The Martin name was well known and associated with wealth and a weapon industry empire. Upholding that front had been top priority, both in terms of clients and public perception. For Kane who had been a bit of a self chosen loner and troublemaker back then, the parties had been so damn dull. That was until he had been old enough to use his fake ID, and eventually enough to not need one to be able to get a drink. 

So noticing his little brother hanging out by himself in a corner wasn’t incredibly surprising, though it did make him curious of course. Making his way there, he leaned against the wall next to Noah, fixing him with a searching gaze and a rare teasing smile. “Hiding out are you?”

The fact that the place was seemingly quiet tonight made Whitney feel more than a little relieved actually. The fewer to witness her drowning her sorrows the better. Maybe the bartender wouldn't mind talking a bit to her as she considered just how hammered she wanted to be. Maybe it shouldn't be an active thought process, but then again she could never seem to do something without her mind running a constant dwelling on her actions. It was hard to tell if the guy wanted to laugh at her or simply found her amusing. Biting her bottom lip a bit she inhaled deeply as she settled on the stool, cocking her head with curious intent in his direction. What was her vibe? Now that was.. a very good question. "Ahm, not entirely sure but lets go with fruity?" She suggested. "Think I skipped the Uni part where you find your favorite poison in favor of too much studying." she admitted with a tint of pink to her cheeks, which she then tried to shrug off with a soft smile.

It was a slow night at the bar, slower than most at least which still meant there was a decent enough crowd in, but it also meant Noah didn't have much to do. He liked to keep himself planted at one side of the bar, making sure everything ran smoothly and that right tunes were being played for the crowds.

As he sipped on his rum and coke he saw a lost looking girl wander up to the bar, rolling his eyes jokingly as he wandered over to her. Smirking, but holding back a small laugh at her question. Not wanting to make her feel like he was making fun.

There were so many drinks that came to mind. The Shuffle wasn't exactly one of those strong neat old fashioend cocktail bars. It was a lot more fruity and out there, in more ways than one.

"You looking for sweet? coconutty? fruity? what's your vibe?" he listed off the basics. He could probably had made her just about any frozen strawberry cocktail, but he wasn't exactly in any rush tonight.
