Alice could get of the clock as a Lead Detective. There wasn't many places she could really go to get away from trouble but while this place wouldn't get a mention in the tourist guide that every visitor and new arrival got it was ideal for her. You had beer, jack daniels, your choice of nachos and dips and a pool table along with a juke box that sometimes was stuck in random play. So with letting her hair down, alcohol and company in no particular order she'd dressed down after getting back to her place. For once she was actually getting a chance to wear a dress; a yellow one that rested on her knees and while short sleeved had sufficient holes made in it to allow for her wings. She also had a little black leather jacket on for now and flat shoes. She never got the hang of high heels and didn't see why a woman should have to wear torture implements in the first place. Strolling in now it was fully dark she headed straight to the bar and politely asked for a beer. She got the required money out of her strappy purse and with beer in hand took a look around. It looked quiet with the usual ambient background noise that resulted when normal working people got of the clock and enjoyed themselves. Games of dominoes, cards and even checkers where happening in this freeform environment. So far so good. Lucas Roberts |

Lucas was still working his way through his awkward phase, honestly just trying to figure out who he was and everything in between that and work and so he had found himself at the local dive bar in town on that island that night, though he took a second to camoflauge in as he made his way in at least a part of his shoulder anyway. He made his way up to the bar, standing next to the young lady in the dress and turned and nodded his head as he heard her order a beer. He followed suit and ordered one as well and as he waited he turned to her and spoke. "Hi," he said his voice blending in to the sounds of the bar so he had no idea if he had even been heard.

While you had a certain level of background noise in the dive bar it wasn't loud enough to not know somebody was trying to talk to her. It almost did though as she felt a presence near her and it took a lot to sneak up on her. So seeing Lucas she looked slightly startled but quickly calmed that state of mind. The encounter with Shadowman as he was now being dubbed had stayed with her and she'd never go without a torch into a crime scene ever again. She'd also been raised by the US army so hadn't the same experiences as others; in fact she'd missed out on a lot as once her calm state of mind was restored she gave Lucas a little smile. "Hello there. How are you" she posed. She sounded American and Floridian but that lack of citizenship was a sore point with her. Then the bar keep passed her a tall beer while he worked on the matching beer for Lucas. Lucas Roberts |

He looked around for a second and then he spoke. "I am doing okay and trying to enjoy everything that I can how about you?" He knew at times he had to let everyone figure out there ways but still. "I did not have much else to do tonight so I came out and so far it's not turning out to be so bad." He then took a second to extend his hand out. "My name is Lucas what is yours?" he asked as politely as he could. Alice Seraphim |

Lacking life experiences might get her in trouble sooner rather than later. At least she had a more experienced partner to help her along as she heard the name of the guy who had surprised her. Shaking his hand she spoke up saying "Hello Lucas, I'm Alice. There is a lot to enjoy about this island but sometimes you need a place you can let of steam. This bar might not look like much but busy people are doing that right now". It was a bar for blue collar people and she considered herself part of that grouping though her work wasn't. Lucas then given his beer. Somebody was clearly displeased about the random jukebox selection but she liked this one. One of life's little bonuses. "So did you just chance upon here or did you already know about it?" she posed with a little smile on her face. He looked cute and it would be fun figuring him out. The ambient noise of the busy bar just built a little more as elsewhere one of the poker games was getting more heated as somebody felt let down by lady luck. Also given what she'd done while on the island she wasn't going to pass up good things. She had plenty of steam to let off too and had no fear of exploring where paths of life led. Lucas Roberts |

Lucas listened because he was still trying to get himself known around town or know about the town so everyone that he met as he finally answered her question. "To be honest with you I simply walked in here by chance. I normally do a more quiet scene but my friends have been hounding me to get out more and that is what happened tonight." He slightly gripped his beer and then spoke again. "It is not as bad as I thought though so I am kind of glad that I did make it out," he knew that he wanted to be nice because that had made him feel good at the end of the day. Alice Seraphim |

Since the bar wasn't in the rich part of the city and not in the slum town it was a fairly good indication of where normal working class people drank; You'd as many humans as oddities present enjoying their games and drinks and it looked like the pool table was still free. As she felt a bit warmer now she shrugged out of her leather jacket and wiggling her wings out of the way while she did this was a well practised routine. "I'm not long finished work. I'm in the Security Services, Investigative branch and it does get quite intense at times. So rather than just stay at home I felt like going out for a while. It is good to get out and your friends are correct" Alice cheerfully replied her voice carrying easily over the ambient noise. "It also looks like the pool table is free" she suggested glancing over to it before sipping her beer. They could also sit at the bar if he wanted to. Lucas Roberts |

He nodded. "Well at least you are off now and if you don't really mind the company we can hang out. I promise to be a gentlemen," he said. He knew that by saying that it almost made it seem like he did not promise but he simply did that a lot when he was nervous so he went on. "Are you any good at pool? We can go a few rounds if you feel up for it." Alice Seraphim |

Alice smiled and picked up her beer. She wasn't what you'd call a good pool player but she was good with angles on the table. The rest of her game would fall into place eventually. "That sounds good to me but I'm not that good at it. I have a few quarters in my purse anyway" she replied with a light chuckle. So off they moved to the pool table and she placed her jacket and strappy purse under the table. They also had a little table were they could rest their beers between visits. "I suppose we'll find out over the course of this evening how much fun we can have" she added also posing what form of pool he wanted. Straight pool or nine ball. Alice wasn't always easy to understand but he could see the playful and relaxed Alice right now. She also understood duty and the sacrifices one needed to make to carry out that duty. Lucas Roberts |

"Well that puts us on the same level as I have ever only really watched people play and not much else. It always looks fun and I feel like I would be failing if I did not at least ask you to play," he said as he ordered a second drink. He was surprised at how good it was but he left the second now as he got up and then waited on her. "What kind of fun are you looking for?" he asked. "Dancing, bar dives like we have now, or just general?" Alice Seraphim |

Hearing they were on the same level of pool skills it made sense to keep things simple. So it would be straight pool with them playing over spots and stripes. A pile of quarters on the table and a drink of her beer later on she broke off. Balls scattered everywhere but nothing dropped. Which left Lucas an easy starter as she shrugged her shoulders. "I suppose the only way to test our skills on the pool table is to play the game. I'm not sure about our level of fun just yet. The last time I went night clubbing I had to break up a fight on the dance floor, I can usually drink without trouble finding me but general fun tends to be hard to find" she replied. At this point in the night things looked like they'd get some level of fun in easy way with the possibility of more options later on. Her wings moved in a happy manner since she looked relaxed but not fast enough to take off. On top of that she had a good feeling about Lucas. Perhaps his nerves were melting away and she felt she they could have fun together. Lucas Roberts |

"That sounds fun but dangerous but I mean at least you are living life right?" He tried as best as he could to look on the positive side. Everything was not going to go the way that you wanted it and that was okay. "Thanks by the way for just talking to me?" He said it happily almost content. "I usually can not find myself so easily talking to someone but you seem easy enough and the night looks like it is going to be a lot of fun to say the least" he said as he looked over the sticks and picked one out. "Ready if you are." Alice Seraphim |

The playful Alice knew the risks of going anywhere after dark given she knew more of what was happening here than a lot of people did. Somethings were obvious like knowing the slum town was dangerous in the dark but other things weren't so obvious. So she did go out anyway given she'd have a life that most likely would burn brighter and be shorter than most peoples. She considered that preferable to what she had before when she lacked freedom and even a surname. "I don't want to have any regrets. That's my main aim in life given the work I do" she mused as the frame got started and more beer was drank. "I'm happy to help you out too" she added looking free, relaxed and confident. "We'll figure out a way to have fun together so don't worry. So what do you do for a living?" This wasn't a sexy dress but she made it fun for Lucas. He'd plenty to look at and he might get lucky later on. Lucas Roberts |

He nodded because if you lived life in regrets then you got nothing and eventually he felt that a person would end up living in fear and that was not fair. However it seemed that they did not have that problem tonight it seemed that they just wanted to live life and be themselves. He laughed a little when she spoke of fun together, his dimples slightly showing. Most people did not even notice them as he spoke. "Oh I work for science," he said confidently. "I mean it's a lot but I do enjoy it, is that bad?" Alice Seraphim |

The game hadn't advanced too far as they'd got bogged down in a safety battle with some balls tied up. As they both tried to crack the frame open again Alice chuckled a little seeing his reaction. "Science is good most of the time. You can have fun in any job but its harder to find in investigation. I'm more likely to get satisfaction" she replied as she played her latest shot. This time coming of two cushions to hit her spotted balls but leaving him a difficult long pot on a stripe. By now she was also onto her second beer clearly enjoying the night so far. At least until the noise in the bar suddenly ceased following shouting. Her ears pricked up and cue still in hand she got a good look round. A man and a woman who didn't even bother disguising themselves were yelling and waving pistols around. Given they were in the back of the bar and in an area of gloom they hadn't been spotted just yet. "So much for a quiet night" she sighed reaching for her purse and taking out a snub nose .45 revolver from it. Her off duty weapon as it was expected she'd be armed all the time. "It looks like you'll have quite a tale to tell in the morning" she added opening the cylinder to check the shells. All looked good so she quietly closed it over. Lucas Roberts |
