WHAT in person
WHERE Heavenly Grounds
WHEN 75!!

[So how do you feel about getting into the holiday spirit? Because with all that wine around from the Bingo victories someone's put a sign up outside Heavenly Grounds today advertising a ~holiday party~ There's festive decorations with mulled wine, hot toddies, spiked egg nog. You name it, it's there to get you plastered.

And I guess there's cookies and fruit cake and stuff too, but who needs food when there's drinking?]

That's definitely an improvement.

It is. I’m not sure what to make of it.

It may be best to just take it as it comes. You'll get there.

Not sure where there is. [especially not with Stark] But we’re not doing bad.

And we’re doinf pretty good too, I think?

Yeah. I'd say we're doing all right.

For some of us, that wasn't such a sure thing.

I'd say there's still some uncertainty, but so far so good.

[she raises her glass again, and her eyebrows. she's not complaining. it's more like she's baffled that she still has friends, or people willing to give her second changes]

You know... this isn't bad. Not usually a wine drinker, but not bad.

Yeah. I can't say I'd make it my usual, but I like it.

[taking another drink]

[she follows suit, not entirely sure what she expects in terms of it working, but sort of enjoying making the attempt together anyway]

[well Steve is starting to flush, moving a little looser]

You feeling anything yet?

[her brows twitch]

You know... I'm not sure?

[she's paying attention, and to a degree she's not sure she remembers what tipsy feels like]

A little warm. Maybe.

I think it might be working on me.

[he considers the bottle, pouring out another glass]

You do look a little pink.

Do I now?

[She lifts her hand to touch his cheek, as though verifying.]

Definitely a little pink.

[Well now he's blushing more]

Could be that it's just warm in here.

You're warm.

[Maybe it is working. At least a little. Bucky doesn't tense up when she touches him like she would have.

...and it is a little warm.

She drops her hand.]

I think it works.

[he laughs, grinning]

Looks like it does.

Will you shoot me down if I ask for a refill?

It's better when you share it.

[pouring her out another glass]

[she smiles at that, taking a healthy pull of the full glass.

is she flushing now? it's definitely warmer with every drink.]

Remind me to thank whoever picked out your bingo prize.

If I knew who it was I'd be thanking them myself.

[he's taking a nice long drink himself]

Think there's anyone here who could figure out how to do it again? Stark could run it through a scanner, something.

Think Loki said it might've been magic, but I figure we can leave a little behind for Tony and Banner and them to take a look at.
