[Felicity Everette]

Today was one of those gorgeous days that make you so jealous to be stuck at work instead of out and enjoying it. And naturally, that only further increased your desire to enjoy whatever part of the day you had left whenever you were free from work. Sadly, her monthly inventory kept Felicity at the bakery long after she intended to be. Namely because she let the other barista out early, it only made sense that SOMEONE should be enjoying the day!

After wrapping up the process and ensuring the accuracy of her numbers, Felicity closed shop and locked everything up before allowing herself to be free for the night. It was still a relatively ‘early’ night, only about 7PM. So naturally, she wasn’t about to let the rest of it go to waste. Felicity made a quick stop at her apartment to change into more ‘fun’ clothes.

After finally settling on her outfit: a black backless crop top with some rhinestone chain details across the back, some denim short-shorts, black belt with a flower as the buckle and a pair of black knee high boots. Felicity gave her hair a quick touch up or two and decided she was ready to enjoy her evening. The only thing that could improve her day, would be getting to party with her bestie!

Felicity had snatched up her phone so quickly, fingers moving at record speeds as she typed up a quick text for Tawny Vokes

”Dancing and drinks @ Illusion Lounge?” She followed with a quick ‘fit check’ photo of herself making an exaggerated wink and peace sign with her free hand. Felicity pressed ‘send’ and was on her way.

It didn’t take long for her to arrive at the Illusion Lounge, making her way inside she was already smiling and enjoying the music by the time she ordered her first drink.

WHEN I'M ALONE

i feel a slow ticking wildness in my mind

[break]

[attr="class","littlecloud-text"]Tawny was stretched out across her couch, laying on her stomach with her arm dangling off the side and a hand settled complacently in the bowl of dry cereal on the floor. One ferret's long body was stretched across her back, lightly dozing, while the other was pinned upside-down between her and the back of the couch — also soundly asleep, a foot twitching in the air every time she so much as shifted. Her work laptop was abandoned on the coffee table before her, its lid half-closed, and she watched the television beyond it, occasionally lifting a colorful Froot Loop to her lips. [break][break]

It hadn't been a particularly long or stressful day, and Sector work had been minimal, but still, when she got home she had only managed to type away at patient notes for a half-hour before turning on the TV and starting a show she'd been itching to watch instead. Now, almost two hours later, it was starting to lose its appeal. But she remained motionless, knowing if she turned it off, she'd have no excuse to keep from getting back to work.[break][break]

Then, from its place on her couch's armrest, her phone buzzed. Then buzzed again. The ferret across her back startled awake, lifted its head, and stretched its body in a long, drawn-out yawn. Then — grasped immediately by the chaotic and troublesome energy that seemed to fill every minute of a ferret's waking life — it began to gnaw with complete abandon at the other ferret's suspended legs. Finch barked his annoyance, squirmed to right himself, and scrabbled upon Tawny's back to begin a return assault. She sighed exaggeratedly as they tumbled off the couch, though a smile quirked at her lips. [break][break]

After a moment of debating, Tawny pulled down her phone to glance at its notification. She half-expected it to be an email. Something to remind her that she had work to do. Half-hoped it would be Noah with more enticing excuses to forget her responsibilities entirely. But as she opened her messages and read Felicity's text, then snorted at her photo, Tawny grinned and pulled herself to a sitting. [break][break]

That would do. [break][break]

She typed back a response, cheekily reminding her friend it was her turn to buy, and slipped off the couch to ready to herself, letting the television play unattended. [break][break]

After only a little bit of searching, she found Felicity inside at the bar with a drink before her. "Excuse me, miss," Tawny drawled through a smirk as she sidled up beside her, catching the bartender's eye and motioning to Felicity's drink and throwing up the cue to bring another of the same. "I couldn't help but see you by your lonesome and thought it'd be a crime to leave such a pretty thing unattended." She waggled her brow exaggeratedly, her smirk transforming into a smile that parted around a laugh a moment later. "God, you remember that guy? He wanted to wife you up so bad. What a line."

Felicity had just taken a sip from her drink when she got Tawny’s text and she couldn’t help but laugh as she responded. “Of course, I’ll get our tab started!” She pressed ‘send’ and tucked her phone back in her back pocket as she told the bartender to start her tab, taking hold of her Mai Tai and nearly downing it. Hey, after the work day she had, a drink was definitely earned!

Felicity declined an offer to dance and told people she was waiting for a friend, enjoying her drink while waiting excitedly for Tawny to arrive. She missed her best friend dearly! It wasn’t until after the arrival of her second Mai Tai that Felicity felt someone approach her and she couldn’t help but laugh at Tawny’s reenactment of that poor southern guy’s accent and line. “Oh my gosh, he was soooo cringe worthy! Thankfully I was able to tell him I was on a hot date and he could never compare.” she laughed, taking another drink and indicating to the bartender to put Tawny’s drink on her tab.

“Inventory at work was absolute HELL today, I need copious amounts of alcohol and lots of fun! How about you?” Felicity quickly downed her second drink and motioned for a refill. It was definitely one of those kind of days.

Notes: Sorry for my delay, shouldn’t be gone like that without warning again! Hopefully this works for you!

TEMPTED BY THAT SIDE OF ME

to let go; she's along for the ride but i get so lost sometimes

[break]

Tawny couldn't help the beam that spread across her face when Felicity turned to her, face bright and laugh immediate. She snorted as the other woman recalled the man she'd been imitating and slipped into the seat next to her, smile tucking into something more wry. "As if that did anything but encourage him," she shook her head, remembering how the man had only puffed up and proclaimed — with a great deal of confidence — that he'd be willing to indulge them both. They'd had such a giggle once he finally limped off to try his lacking attempts on someone else.[break][break]

Her drink was set before her and Tawny barely had time to draw it to her before Felicity downed her own in only a couple of enthusiastic gulps. She lifted a brow with an impressed chortle, mouth pulling once more. "Oh, it's one of those nights, is it?" She mused, eye drawing to her own glass. She took a deep breath, shucked her shoulders in a bracing shrug, and then downed her drink in a couple of swallows; eyes screwing closed halfway through when a bit of dribble slipped from one corner of her mouth. She lowered the glass back to the table and smacked her lips before drawing the back of her hand across her mouth and letting her brow dance.[break][break]

With Felicity, it was almost always one of "those" types of nights. Outings where Tawny could find an easy excuse to push everything away and content herself with simple wildness. She could already imagine how things might go. They'd get tanked, probably quite quickly, dance themselves ragged, maybe break a heel or two, and then stumble to one or the other's home, sides splitting from laughter as they badgered and annoyed anyone they passed. Shushing one another and stifling their giggles when someone gave them the side-eye. Stumbling up stairs and falling through doors. It was how it usually went, at least — sometimes with more faces tagged along or other homes stumbled to, and Tawny had always enjoyed them for what they were. At least when she had the energy for it. And sometimes even when she didn't have the energy for it. Sometimes it was just what she needed to restore her energy when it was lacking.[break][break]

"Work was uh... less hell, more like a boring purgatory, for me," she finally answered, waving the question away as soon as the words left her lips. "Same same, you know?" She scrunched her nose, then cleared her throat and brightened her face. "Anyway, too early for shots? I've missed you!"
