Open Social Raxus Off Duty

[Guinevere Delevigne]

Guin held her breath as the newcomer stepped up to take his first shot and missed. Phew, one down one to go she thought. At last Jon's poor luck turned and she watched his next one sink quickly into the cup, eliciting a small cheer from the small woman. "Cheers!" she echoed Kali, downing the shot in sync with her friend and smiling as the burning liquid made its way down. "Oh wow, that's strong stuff," she quietly exclaimed before turning to the newcomer. "I'm G..Klara by the way."

Next up went Kalique and it seemed she had swapped luck with Jonathen himself as her ball went wayward. With a little bit of liquid courage behind her and a bustling competitive spirit, Guin winked at the boys. "Hope you're thirsty, cause here comes anotherrrrr."

With a light touch, Guin shot the ball in the air, finding its refuge neatly in the centre of one of the far cups closest to the boys. Delighted and on fireee, she turned to Kali to offer an enthusiastic high five. "Yesssssss," she said, surprised at her own success but over the moon nonetheless.

[Dax Ryder]

Dax met the other man's gesture, pumping fist with with some enthusiasm. But not enough to cause pain. After all, if this was the same Jon being talked about in the halls of the barracks, well he'd soon be Dax's commanding officer. One of them at least.
"Dax" he replied warmly. "Nice to meet you."

"Kalique? Nice." He commented before failing his first throw of the evening. "Cheers?" he said more in question then matter of fact. Then finished his shot. Jon would recover however and sink his ball in the glass. Dax noticed the look by Kali toward Jon as the girls took their drinks and gave a grin of his own.

"G...Klara...? Umm....Dax." The Raxsus native couldn't tell if that was really her name. Or if the liqueur was simply so strong that the woman couldn't remember her own name. He gave her a warm smile in any case. As he was enjoying the playful banter back and forth.

He then watched as G dropped the ball into the cup with some reasonable effort. Giving the girls a golfer's clap at their success. "Very nice, very nice. But....." He paused his little speech, plucked Jon's ball from the glass and shot it like a free throw to the glass at the opposite end, "Ohhh, and ladies, that's how it's done." He commanded, give Jon another fist pump.

[Jonathen Baize]

"More warmed up than you apparently.." he joked back at Kalique as she missed a shot. He was certainly starting to feel his drink a little bit.

Klara and Dax both sunk their shots. They both seemed evenly matched; they would be good if they could get ahead. "That's what I am talking about!" He said as he returned the fist bump and let loose with his own shot.

It came up short, bouncing where another cup had been moments ago. "Well..maybe the same levels of warmed-up.." he admitted with a laugh.

He waved his hand, hoping for a bit of the magic Kalique had to come to aid him, even if just for a moment. "You're both going to miss your shots." he said as the game continued.

[Kalique Baize]

Had luck left her? No, she saw it as a simple mistake. That could happen, but despite the dizziness and tipsyness that slowly grabbed hold of her, she was as determined as ever.

Dax' reaction about Guinevere's name made her chuckle, but she didn't comment on it as she was already getting into position, however brushing past Guin and whispering "They're still going down".

She threw Jon a smirk as he missed as well, teasingly adding, "Very sweet of you to copy me", however convinced the next round looked better. The alcohol in her system was definitely clouding her precision and so as she took a breath and focused, she suddenly swayed a little and missed the next one as well.

"Oh well...let's build up some real suspense I guess" she chuckled, her competitiveness momentarily forgotten even though her aiming skills fully seemed to have vanished into thin air. "Wanna copy me again?" she playfully asked Jon as she stepped aside and wrapped an arm around Guinevere's shoulder to stabilize herself for a moment.

[Guinevere Delevigne]

Guin would never announce any nonsense about being a lightweight, no siree! She had been quite fortunate so far in that the girls had been dunking shot after shot while the guys were having more mixed luck. That last one though was quuuuite the doozy and she knew it. Her fingers, knees and toes were all starting to get fuzzy, but naturally, the talented blonde wouldn't let that get in the way of winning!

Before she could celebrate their impending victory, the boys were up and Dax didn't disappoint. Oh oh, she thought as she picked up the glass to knock it back. Just as quickly, her fist reached up to block her mouth for a second, swallowing hard, before she proudly declared a little slurred. "I'm alriiiiiight!"

Next up was her bestie and Guin could not be prouder of the girl. "leeeettts goooo kalliii." It was a tall order for the girls to keep up their earlier success and fortune was not theirs this time. Guin chuckled and nodded along with Kalique, "Oh yeah, can't beat them toooo hard riiight?"

Guin smiled and wrapped her own arm around Kalique, the pair wobbling a little less now but still clearly not doing too hot. Taking a ball into her other hand, she whispered something cheeky under her breath before flicking it downrange. With a dramatic split second of hope, the ball dashed her dreams of success by bouncing off the rim and then into another before bouncing across the table.

"Ooh so clooose!!, next time defiiinitely!!" she started to giggle, snuggling back up to Kalique.

@Raydo @LadyRen @Taz

 

[Dax Ryder]

Dax was enjoying his little moment. One for two wasn't bad. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad for a drinking game. Thank the force he was better with a gun. In any case he returned his attention to the attractive blondes. Kali was holding her own, mostly. But Guin was looking rough. Having fun, but rough.

"If anyone is going down it's you, but I like the confidence." He chimed in to the banter between Kali and Jon. With that, Kali would bounce it off the rim of the glass and nearly back at herself. "That's not how you do it!" He Dax teased.

Guin then took her turn, and part of the Raxsus native felt bad. A large part. He was still mostly of a clear mind, why the other woman could hardly put two words together. The woman then shot, thrown off by her own swaying. Along with her friends. Bouncing the ball off a couple rims and past Dax.

Picking up the ball then, he took careful aim at one of the glasses. Then he caught the eye of a very buzzed Guinevere. He shot, and the ball missed the glass entirely. Bouncing off the table and then between the two girls.

"Guess I still need to warm up." He smiled.

@Raydo @LadyRen @Xorism

 

[Jonathen Baize]

"Just didn't want you to feel left out." he joked with a wink as he replied to Kalique.

Jon was feeling pretty good but definitely not as good as Klara. She seemed to struggle with a cup and then miss another shot. Both of the girls missed their shot, Jon giving an internal sigh of relief.

"It's all good, bro." he said as he aimed his shot and sunk it. "We can pass on the hugging on this side of the table if you want." he joked with Dax.

They were all caught up according to his count. It was time to bring this game home!

Spoiler: note

How many cups are we saying are left?

@Taz @LadyRen @Xorism

 

[Kalique Baize]

Nope, luck wasn't with her at all. The alcohol in her veins was not just starting to take its toll on Guinevere, but also on Kalique and her language or simply the way she aimed and stood. "Okay okay. Fooocus. We have to focussss" she slurred a little before she started giggling again.

"Whooa now there...that's not very gentleman like of you there Baize" she pointed at finger at him, but it was actually swaying from him to Dax and back before she shook her head. They were now even or so it seemed so this was getting intense. "Noted, Jon, noted". She tried to glare at him warningly and stay serious, but simply couldn't stop chuckling.

The two women were too lightweighted to resist the booze anymore and so obviously, the next throw was also a miss. "Wait. Didn't I hit?" it had looked like it from hed haze point of view, but she then reunited with Guin and hoped that she was still doing strong. "Okay youuur turn".

@Xorism @Raydo @Taz

[Roll=4]

Spoiler: uuuh

2 maybe? You could win guys

 

[Guinevere Delevigne]

With a string of missing shots, the game was coming close to its climactic end and Guin couldn't be more excited. Likewise, the string of shots that they had been downing, was filling her with an exuberant cheer and confidence. As the boys went for another round she even cheered them on before joining their disappointment as the balls slipped harmlessly by.

"You were saying?" Guin cheekily replied to Dax, drawing on her newfound confidence. The girls were back up and Guin was certain that they were just about to knock out the game. "Oh, how did that misss, nice try!!" It would not do to have a repeat of the last round without any drinking at all, no no that would simply not do.

"Kali, I hhhhave a greaaaat idea. Can you kissss this one for gooood luck!" Arm clasped around her friend, she held out the ball for a few moments. The bright lights made her blink a couple of times as she tried to focus on the game at hand, and sharing in her giggling it was finally time to shoot.

Score

"Babeess, that one is all youuu." A blush swept across her face as she realized what she had just said. It was so close and they would definitely win the next round!! she was more confident than ever.

@Raydo @LadyRen @Taz

 

[Dax Ryder]

Dax was hardly even buzzed at this point, but it was obvious the girls had been at this long before he showed up. Plus there were only a few cups left at the table. Giving an amused laugh at the girls he watched as Kali missed yet again. But Guin somehow manged to score about point, despite the fact she could hardly stand.

Dax retrieved said cup and proceeded to toss it back. "Cheers." Then, cup still in his off hand. Attempted his next shot. Missing as the ball went wide from the cup and rolled off the table. This was apparently not his night.

@LadyRen @Raydo @Xorism

Spoiler: ooc note.

Rolled a 4 on....sunday. Had the post almost written but got busy and it apparently did save. so this was a little rushed.

 

[Jonathen Baize]

He watched on amused as their opponents struggled to stand, much less shot. He shook his head slightly; if they didn't end this game soon, the guys would likely win by just being the last ones conscious.

Surprisingly, Klara sunk another shot leaving them with only one cup remaining on their side.

Jon shot, the ball not even hitting the cup's rim as it went it. "Looks like its down to the wire!" he said, with both sides down to one cup each it was anyone's game but the girls shot first, and the way Klara had been shooting...Jon was nervous.

@Taz @Xorism @LadyRen

 

[Kalique Baize]

Even though this wasn't over, Kalique somehow already understood she wasn't going to get the last cup...her aiming skills were non-existent anymore and she didn't like how the gents had caught up like that. Guinevere had been the map here, so she still relied on her to save it, especially after she tried and failed again.

"Nooo wayyyy. This ball is weighted or something...or jinxed" she shook her head, placing her hands into her hips. "It's now or never Guin...you can still save our honor" she stated amusedly, however realizing how serious this had gotten.

"No pressure though!" she added giggling, realizing that making her more nervous wouldn't help, but she couldn't have Jonathen win. He'd tease her forever about this...Also, it feel good to kick some butts as it would help Guin's confidence for sure, so they had to make it. "You're still goin dooown" she finally said to the boys, still confident about their possible win.

@Xorism @Raydo @Taz

 

[Guinevere Delevigne]

Guin imitated a playful grumble as she had to drink again following Jonathen's success. This fun little game had become such a nailbiter with the next ball crowning the winners with the ultimate prestige of being the Rusty Rifle Beer Pong Champions of 156 ABY. Or something like that, the agent giggling at the thought of such a pomp ceremony.

But luck didn't go their way yet as Dax and Kalique both missed in quick succession. She couldn't agree more with Kali, smiling and shaking her head. "Muuust be, ehehe okay." Guin stood still next to the line rolling her shoulders and then the ball between her fingers to ensure that it wasn't tampered with in any way.

Just as she was about to throw, she faked a shocked look on her face hoping to distract the boys. "O.M.G. there's a Sith at the bar." she flicked the ball up and into the upper portion of the rim causing an excited cheer to start erupting from the little thing before she stood stunned. The ball had hit the rim at such an angle that it swung around the lip and pulled itself around and out of the cup, technically meaning that it didn't count!

"No frikkin way!" she pouted for just a second before the music had her giggling again. "Okayyyy boys.." Guin lightly brushed her shirt. "Gimme your best..shot."

@Raydo @LadyRen @Taz

 

[Dax Ryder]

Dax polished off what was left in the glass and looked on in amusement. This had been fun. More fun for the girls it appeared, but still fun. He got a little less amused when Jon fail to sink the last ball. Considering his shot record, this wasn't going to end well.

"Ha!" He burst out a little to excited when Kali also missed. "Your pretty Kali, but I think your honor is not long gone." He teased. in reply.

Dax then gave Guin his full attention. Mostly because he was sure she was about to hit the floor at any moment. He didn't fall for the ploy for a Sith. Mostly because started her plea with OMG. Instead he watch as the little woman almost won the game, but lady luck was an evil bitch.

Snatching the ball as it rolled from the cup, Dax didn't even hesitated. Dropping back and tossing the tiny ball life a free throw at Huttball. "Bir!" He exclaimed. Like Guin, the ball ran the rim of the cup, circling the rim twice. Before teetering for just a moment. Then finally rolling off the cup and down the floor.

"Fuck me!"

@LadyRen @Raydo @Xorism

 

[Jonathen Baize]

She almost won it. Victory snatched right out of their drunk fingertips. Jon shrugged "Sorry, ladies, thats just how the cards fall sometimes." Dax shot but missed, but fortunately, Jon wore the confidence of a man who had just the perfect amount of alcohol in his system. He felt like he could conquer the galaxy at that moment.

"Time to put this game to bed," he said, lifting the ball and casually tossing it. The second it left his hand, he knew the game was over. He could feel it in his bones.

The ball bounced on the cup's rim twice and then fell inside. He clutched his fist. "Never doubted it for a second," he said, regaining his composure.

"Great game, ladies, maybe next time!" he said before offering another fist bump to his partner. "You too, way to bring it," he said.

@LadyRen @Xorism @Taz

 

[Kalique Baize]

Narrowing her eyes, she tried to focus again, but her vision was blurred every single time she tried to fixate on her target. Her mood was great, but this didn't help either as she started to chuckle before she even let go of the ball, which just missed again. Guin's random comment about the Sith was just too hilarious to stay on her actual mission of scoring.

"Careful there, you haven't won yet!" she warned Dax, the seemingly over confident new face, while she still hoped the boys were just as unfocused as they were, but as the tension climaxed, Dax at least missed. "Ha! Seems like the same applies to your honor" she teased back, her attention flicking from him to Jon.

"You know...it's not very chivalrous to snatch that win..." she trailed off, hoping she'd somehow manage to distract him with the thought, but nope, Jonathen would have none of it. It was close, but his ball landed in their final cup, leaving the drunk ladies to empty the rest of their alcohol.

"Speaking of putting this game to bed, hope you don't mind staying in yours tonight" she cheekily teased, giving him a wink as she pulled Guin closer. She wanted to take this as poised as possible, yet there was a logical reason. "It's only because you guys can tolerate mooore booze!" she swayed from left to right, her gaze trailing off but finding just another target. "Congrats for the win...buuuut what would you say to a darts match?". Probably just a great idea in their drunk state.

@Xorism @Raydo @Taz

 

[Guinevere Delevigne]

When Dax stood up and readied to throw, Guin held her breath and stared intently at the tiny white ball stuck between his fingers. Not even the light flickering or the rowdy crowd in the background would distract her from making sure that she mentally pushed the ball away from the cup, somehow. She was the furtherest thing from having force sensitivity but Kalique always make it look so easy, and in her quite tipsy state, it felt like a good idea to tryyyy.

Doink, miss! the blonde's face lit up once more as the girl's hopes and dreams lived another round. For a brief second, she was absolutely convinced that she had managed to nudge the ball before remembering that she totally couldn't have even if she wanted to.

Next came the man of the hour, the lucky Commander himself. Sure Jon could do it but as both sides only needed one more ball it was anyone's game and the tension was through the roof. Guin clutched Kalique in anticipation of either victory or defeat as Jon made his final throw...

AND IT WENT IN!

With a cheer, Guin raised her glass one last time and knocked back the rest with a little break to catch her breath. "ooh. wow, that was a greeaat game. Congrats on the wiiiin." Not paying attention to who Kali was talking to, she mistakenly assumed that it was directed towards her. "uh I don't mind but I always sleep in my bed." giggling her face blushed a little embarrassed. "well unless I fall asleep at my desk."

Guin might have been a tad drunk by now, and she wobbled to and fro but continuing on towards another game sounded like a fantastic idea to her. "Oh please, you will won't you boys? but first, we need bar snacks."

@Raydo @LadyRen @Taz

 

[Jonathen Baize]

He couldn't help but laugh, seeing the other two stumble around slightly. He offered each of them a high five and was a gracious winner for the most part. "I'm sure you'll get us next time, well..maybe." he said with a smile.

Jon raised his eyebrow at the idea of a darts game. They could barely stand, and as funny as it might be to have them throw sharp objects with little control of where they were actually throwing them.

"Ehh..I don't know. Maybe we get a raincheck on the darts?" he said as he helped clean off the table. "Y'all good? I can get a cab for you guys?" he offered. If they continued at this pace, they would be heading for a decent-sized hangover in the morning.
