Koreoke, Washington DC, Saturday Night

[spin_kick_snap]

Sure, some people were busy fighting rampaging snow monsters and stuff today. But for those who were friends with Kathy and Dante, they had another option available to them: Kathy's 21st birthday party!

Their venue for the evening was Koreoke, a Korean barbeque restaurant that doubled as a karaoke bar. Kathy had rented out the back room for her party, which included three long barbeque tables, a stage with up to four microphones (in case of boy bands and group numbers), and a bartender along the far wall to serve drinks all night until last call.

Because if turning twenty-one wasn't a good reason to stuff yourself full of grilled meat (well, veggies and tofu in Kathy's case), get drunk, and sing your heart out to the largest selection of karaoke tracks Kathy had ever seen in one place, then what was?!

[Up VERY early for SP because holidays are a THING (and so are BDEs). Open to pretty much anyone who is/was Kathy's friend (or Dante's friends that Kathy also knows)!]

Ringo's eyes widened. "You can make money doing that?" That actually sounded pretty cool!

"I mean, when demons are fuckin' around in factories and shit," Dante said, shrugging. "They're kind of a fact of life back home, these days."

"Oh, I get it."

Ringo nodded, then an idea occurred to her her, causing her to suddenly smirk.

"What are you going to do if they figure out you'd do it even if they didn't pay you?"

Re: Eat! Eat!

[rebelseekspizza]

"... Make sure they don't figure that out."

Shut up.

Re: Eat! Eat!

[soniaroadsqueen]

Her smirk morphed into a snicker. "Well, I won't tell anyone that you're really a nice guy, at least?"

"Ugh, take that back," Dante said, waving his glass at her. "I'm a fuckin' cool badass, dammit."

Re: Eat! Eat!

That earned Dante a full-on giggle. "I think may have known you a little too long to buy that at this point."

She pursed her lips, them took a sip from her glass. "Though," her voice softened, "I suppose you can be pretty cool."

But she'd deny she ever said so.

"Ha," Dante said. "See?"

... and slammed back his drink. "I fucking love Korean."

"You just love free food and booze," Ringo shot back with a laugh.

Re: Eat! Eat!

[rebelseekspizza]

"Why can't it be both?" Dante asked, stretching his arms out to encompass this mythical 'both'.

Re: Eat! Eat!

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Well, I suppose that's possible. I mean, you're so big-hearted, you could love everything."

Yeah, she was implying that he was a big softy.

Re: Eat! Eat!

"I super do not care that much," said Dante, even though he knew Ringo knew it was a lie.

Re: Eat! Eat!

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Right, right. How silly of me to forget."

Re: Eat! Eat!

[rebelseekspizza]

"I'm going to steal your food for that," Dante announced, reaching past her to grab a slice of beef.

Re: Eat! Eat!

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Hey, I was waiting for that to get perfectly grilled!" she pouted. Well, token objected, at least. She didn't actually try to stop him, after all.

Re: Eat! Eat!

[rebelseekspizza]

"Like you even know what that is," Dante retorted, shoving the food into his mouth.

Re: Eat! Eat!

[soniaroadsqueen]

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ringo scowled. "Are you saying I don't know how to cook?"

Re: Eat! Eat!

[rebelseekspizza]

"I'm saying you don't know how to grill," Dante said, grinning.

Re: Eat! Eat!

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Oh, and you're some sort of grilling expert?"

Re: Eat! Eat!

[rebelseekspizza]

"I like meat," Dante informed her. "Of course I am."

Re: Eat! Eat!

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Hey! I like meat at least as much as you do," Ringo shot back.

Re: Eat! Eat!

[rebelseekspizza]

"Then why are you so bad at grilling?" Dante demanded.
