Yanking her helmet off her head, Mia all but slammed it down on the seat of her bike, though still careful not to scratch up her little beauty. Frustrated and angry with both herself and Vesta, Mia was just...UGH! She didn't even want to punch something cause she knew she'd take it too far, and for the life of her she was sure she'd been doing good lately! Not lashing out! She had everything, Vesta was chilling, they were doing well, Mia's whole life was getting better and better but...apparently not!? Apprently Vesta let her have 'too much freedom' whatever the fuck that meant!?
Just...UUUUGH!? Mia didn't even take her helmet with her as she pushed herself towards the bar, having stormed out of the house and taken her bike with her. Not like anyone would steal her bike or her helmet for that matter with how iconic her custom work had made it. No one local at least. With some frustration clear in her posture and face, the moment she got into the bar everyone seemed to quiten down. Mia didn't come as often as she used to, but even then the regulars knew well enough that a look like that on her face wasn't the best sign.
Mia caught on pretty quickly to why all the eyes was on her. She took a deep breath, lifted her head, and put on a soft smile. "Yer alright guys just...need a glass or two in me before I'm 'bout to tell the tale okay?" The people who knew her understood well enough, something had pissed her off and she just needed some time before she was gonna talk about it. Mia pushed herself into a stool and spun round to face the bartender, smirking at them and forcing herself to keep smiling till she was genuinely in a good mood again.
"Pint if ya don't mind mate. I still got a tab open?"
"Heh, ya always got one here Blondie." Mia smirked as a drink was quickly poured and placed into her hand, lifting it in a cheers motion and quick to take a swig.
"ya know I'm good for it.~ Keep 'em comin' tonight yeah?"
(To anyone coming to this thread, i invite you to come in at any point of the night so long as you let me know, you can come in at Mia's first drink, or if you prefer, you can come in after she's had a few, or even when she's super drunk!~)

Mai shouldn't be here. She knew that. She didn't need Jackass's voice reminding her every five minutes, but it was. "You're going to kill yourself," it jeered. "You'd deserve it," it seethed. She sighed and continued to ignore it.
She knew she was too addiction-prone to safely drink, and she barely had for years now. Only lightly with Grace before she Fell, and not at all since she did. But this week she'd managed a little more money than she usually scraped by on, and she was desperately craving some sort of social stimulation. Something in person, yet not too personal. Most cheap group activities were either so impersonal she might not talk to anyone at all or a little too 'get to know you, try to make friends and stay in touch' for her taste right now. At a club or bar, the latter might be an option, but was less an expectation. And given she was feeling just a tiny touch noise sensitive today-- not badly, but just enough she didn't want to make it worse-- a bar sounded slightly better than loud club music.
So... Yes of course she was rationalizing this really hard, thanks Jackass she knew that. But still, with all that logic, she thought.. Maybe.. If she made her rule that she could only drink in public, no alcohol at home, no parties, etc, then.. maybe that would be enough safety net? She'd heard Liggs had the best bars, too, so maybe if she had to make a trip like this it would further discourage her from overdoing it. Or maybe she just really missed the night life and had been drifting through an dreary hellvoid for the past two weeks and desperately needed something nostalgic to comfort and ground her. But ya know??
"Not like you have anything to live for since you abandoned everyone who could tolerate you." Uuuuugh shut up, fuck. Noise anxiety or not, it was a relief to get into the din of the bar. It helped drown out her thoughts, or not-her thoughts, whatever they were.
As she looked around, it seemed most eyes were on a loud, boistrous (and gorgeous?? not that she was looking much tonight but hot damn she could appreciate the view) blonde who seemed to be either a lightweight or a few drinks in already. Was she some sort of celebrity? Mai thought she looked vaguely familiar, but couldn't place why. Or were people just really interested in the story she was starting? Hrm. Mai figured she may as well order a drink and listen too.

A few drinks into the night, Mia was holding her water as well as ever and having some fun as she loosened up, even getting into a few arm wrestles with some of the off-work miners who were convinced that this time they could beat her. A few table slams followed and none of them had any luck!~ It definitely helped lift her spirits that was for sure, and before long she was finally giving her old drinking buddies and just a few regulars her version of the events that had lead to her being here, halfway through her latest mug as she told it.
"Okay so, y'all know vestie right?~ Me and her and all that jazz and blah blah blah blah-" Okay maybe she wasn't holding her liquor TOO well but it had been a while since she'd really gotten drunk, and she was kinda looking to get drunk so maybe the placebo effect was kicking in, she had no idea but she was enjoying herself and kept going. "Well she was saying that cause we was getting married our open relationship could be waaaaay more open cause she knows. She KNOWS I'm dedicated to her! So, evens though I've had a gir-partner. A partner. Gotta gets that right..." She paused sipping her beer again.
"She knows I've got a partner, and I love her, but appaaaaaarently, me 'falling into old habits' is too much for her! I mean so she caught me making breakfast for another girl. So what? Apparently that's 'our thing', me makin' her breakfast!" Some of the bar chuckled and with another swig she heartily nodded. "I know right!? I'm like 'biiiiish I did that for half this fucking city before I met you!'" Of course Mia hadn't said that part till they were deep into the argument. "And so she thinks I have too much freedom, and she only just gave me it back too! Does she really expect the queen of fuckin' Liggs-!" There was a small cheer to go with the title and she pumped her fist into the air with it briefly before pounding it to her chest, her left fist specifically. "Is gonna be able to re-chain herself after getting a taste of the good life again!?"
Of course, for Mia this was a harder decision than it felt at the moment, Vesta was amazing in a lot of ways, but with a bar backing her up and a few drinks down her she was off the deep end, ready to tell vesta it was her way or the high way if she saw her while she was still sober enough to speak. "And that's why I'm here, and I'm drinkin'! AND I'M HAVIN' FUN DAMMIT!"
Suddenly she got up on her stool, and placed a heavy foot on the bar, the bartender sighing at the fact he'd have to wash that spot down in a second as Mia spread her arms, her long coat flicking out behind her as she declared to the bar. "NEXT ROUNDS ON ME LADS!~"
The whole bar raised their glasses and cheered to that, Mia happy to get everyone a drink in her current state, still standing proud on the bar with her hands on her hips like a pirate captain looking out onto her crew, her eyes catching the cute lass walking up to the bar, smirking and leaning over, elbow resting on her knee, her coat's sleeves rolled up so her metal arm was on full display. "You lass!~ What you gettin' on my tab?~"

A lot of thoughts went through Mai's head as she listened to Mia's story. Getting married? She looked so young! Open relationship? MORE open? What a lucky bitch. Another partner, how cute. Their thing? How petty. Some intrusive bitter 'the fuck did she expect, of course this Vestie is pissed' that was pushed aside. Queen of Liggs? Ah, she was that gym leader, right? Mai did recognize her celeb status now.
By the end, though, these had become more background thoughts, all overshadowed by a loud resounding 'BABY??? DEAR. PRECIOUS.' The immediate sense of kinship she was feeling and the affirmation of the bar patrons had lifted Mai's mood drastically.
Such that when Mia turned her attention to her-- Well, first she lightly snorted at the word 'lass'. She was hardly a young girl anymore, but thanks kid. But more importantly, when Mia asked what she was getting, Mai absolutely could not resist the first answer that popped into her head. "From the sound of things, your number?" A playful ;P followed.

Mia's shit eating grin grew even wider at that bold question, and she found herself chuckling, her head dipping forward at the hearty laughs before throwing her head back and her hair back off her eyes with it. "Ya know in case you didn't hear I am walking one hell of a fine line as it is but-!" She lifted her leg up off the bar and threw the leg on the stool forward, falling naturally down onto the stool with a light bounce for a moment as she landed, resting her elbow on the bar and gesturing to the clearly already filled seat next to her. "Maybe ya can scooch over here and make your case.~ I mean if you're bold enough to ask you're already on your way to paradise with me~"
Maybe she needed to work on her flirting a bit. It had been a while, and she'd gotten more ego stroking than practice over the past year.
Still the seat was of course filled and Mia gave the guy sitting there a light jab in the shoulder with her metal arm, enough to hurt like a pinch at best. The groggy bearded fellow lifted his head from the bar, noticed Mia, then as Mia dipped her head to the new girl, so did he turn to look at her. In his groggy state it took him a few seconds to get the picture, and so he turned to order a drink only to see his glass had been refilled already thanks to Mia's declaration of a next round. With not much more than a light hiccup of acknowledgement, the man trudged along to one of the booth seats to probably have a nap.
"Nice fella~" Mia briefly quipped as they moved along, patting the seat again to re-invite the girl and smirking. "Seriously though, what's your poison?~ All it'll cost ya is your name so may as well make it expensive~"

Mai chuckled softly at Mia's whole schtick, and didn't quite laugh but did smirk at the drunk she 'relocated'. It was impressive how well the bar patrons listened to her, especially since, if Mai remembered correctly, Mia was basically a lesbian icon here in Veria. (Her story only mentioning girls made her 99.9% sure she was right on that.) At any rate, she'd definitely take that seat offer.
"I'm trying to go easy tonight, so surprise me with some girly drink," she decided. "The name is Mai, but you can also call me yours~" she teased, but deeply chuckled a moment later. "In all seriousness, I didn't really come out tonight to hook up, but I did wanna say I admire you standing your ground with your girl. I know it sucks having a partner who doesn't get it."

Hearing her name and the fact she was apparently the one ordering the drink, as cliche as it was Mia could only think of one drink that was even relatively girly, and heck even then it was probably just fruity rather than full on girly. Lifting a hand to catch the bartender's attention Mia had her wide smile on as she gestured between them. "A full refill for me and put a Mai Tai on ma' tab for my new pal Mai~" The bartender rolled his eyes a little, briefly giving Mai a look to ask if she really wanted anything else without directly saying as much, but if given no inclination she was against it he'd get to work on the Mai Tai, serving the two of them their drinks a few moments later.
Hearing they likely weren't gonna get up to much, Mia shrugged and waved it off. Honestly it wasn't her intent either, but seeing a cute girl...who she was just now realizing was at LEAST 5 years older than her, probably closer to ten but she didn't wanna be rude in assumin' as much - was enough to get her at least trying. All the same the drink was going on her tab and it was nice to have someone to talk to, especially someone who seemed to be more 'fluent' in her current predicament, at least compared to the miners here, half of whom were either married or weren't too well educated like Nik made sure she was these days.
"Ah thanks, I mean...I guess she's got SOME point but for the life o' me I've been searching the bottom of these glasses and I ain't found it!~" Snickering at her own joke, she lifted her fresh drink, clinking her glass with Mai's before taking a sip and going on. "My other partner's cool with it but...eh. They got their own thing going on so...OH!" Wiping her mouth of some froth with her left forearm, she offered her right across, the metal appendage not looking maybe not too inviting to a stranger to it. "Mia, by the way. Heh, little switch up of your own there~"

Pfffffffff. "Excellent choice." The tone came out almost sarcastic, but she gave no indication to the bartender she wanted anything else. Honestly that sounded perfectly fine. She listened as Mia vented, taking her drink to sip once it was ready.
She shrugged in response, but before she could speak Mia thought to introduce herself. Brief thoughts of 'oh no arm' and 'oh fancy arm?' flashed through her mind, but were both gone within a fraction of a second as she accepted the pleasantry and shook her hand. "Heh. I guess it is, mm?" Regardless.
Taking back her hand, she leaned against the bar, propping her face lazily against one hand and holding her drink in the other. "Honestly, though. If she can't deal with her jealousy, that should be a her problem, not a you problem." She sighed as an onslaught of counterpoints ran through her head. "I.. suppose part of being a good partner is trying to make your partner happy... But if some basic part of you makes them that upset then..." She didn't want to advise a stranger to break up, especially if she was engaged, but... ugh.

Mia was taking a sip as Mai started talking, nodding along at the first part even with her face a little in her glass, and as the second part started to flow...well with how high she was tipping the glass she didn't nod again but she did flick her brow up to acknowledge she was hearing it, and heck, she knew exactly where it was going, lowering her glass with a satisfied sigh and flicking her eyes over to the woman.
"I should break up with her eh?" She smirked a little, but more relaxed than joking about it persay, because- "Honestly don't worry, I have heard that advice waaaaaay too much about Vestie. She's just....ugh." She lay her head down for a moment, rolling onto her cheek and looking up to the stranger, drumming her fingers on the bar as her right hand kept a hold on her mug's handle. "Look I know I clash with her and she is like...my total opposite in a lot of ways but....uuugh she's sweet and she's nice and she got me fuckin' cute ass dogs when I lost my arm and fuck she got a nice body though..." Drunk enough to actually be considering the option of breaking up without breaking into tears, she lifted her head and flicked some random bar-gunk out of her hair before continuing.
"And I allllllso know I ain't the best to be around sometimes and...for a WHILE i was fine with the whole Monogomy thing...well, 'cept my other partner, but like...She said she trusted me more and apparently she dosn't so...!" She shrugged very enthusiastically, accidentally lifting her glass with the motion and spilling a quarter of her drink (total, not what was left) out onto the floor, wincing a little as she heard the splash, giving the bartender a sheepish smile. "Heh...woops."

Mmmm... It was clear Mia cared a lot about her girl here, but Mai still... felt a little nauseous thinking too much about it. Not in a disgusted way, but more of a worried one, she guessed. "I feel you..." she mumbled regarding the trust issue, but... She sighed.
Ignoring the splash other than a light glance, she remained focused on the conversation at hand. "I don't know... Part of me wants to say you're describing a hot friend but..." A bitter laugh followed. "I guess I don't exactly have a good track record myself. The only girl I ever got serious with kicked me out after I cheated on her, and I basically left the only guy I've ever been interested in three times, so!" She shrugged emphatically. "I'm probably the last person who should give relationship advice, eh?"

Mia nervously followed someone, a new part timer she didn't recognize, move from behind the bar with a mop bucket to clean up her mess, shrinking into her shoulders a little with a light wave to say sorry before giving Mai her full attention again. She nearly spat out a sip as she mentioned leaving someone three times!? How. How does one pull that off? Telleth me your secrets wish? Her eyes narrowed looking for an explanation to that, but whether she got one or not-
"Oh trust me you want bad relationship advice you come to me. I mean." She swallowed back something in her chest, not sure if it was a burp or a hiccup, but pushing it down she vaguely gestured about to follow her words. "Don't get me wrong I gots a GREAT rep with girls. I loves em loads and they loves me loads, the issue with my track record is is soooo fucking many on the record." Her face was a mix of proud and, in a way, daunted by her own list, having kinda realized how much she got around when she finally stopped trying.
Peeking her head back, she looked around the room and spotted a handful of women, and fancying her odds turned back to Mai. "Fun game, point to 5 women in this room under 40 and I bets ya I at least made out with 3."

Ha. Well at least Mia wasn't going to be one to call out her bad relationship advice if she purported to be bad herself. Or at least Mai shouldn't make her any worse off than she'd be on her own, hopefully.
As Mia suggested her 'game', Mai.. chortled? Was chortled the word for this dumb sputtery laugh? Maybe, ha. "Hon that's not a problem, that's an achievement." Some other part of her thought, So 40's your limit, huh~?, but that part wouldn't be voiced. "Did you ever get your medal in the mail? I think I lost mine during some move but I'd love to see if the design's changed over the years."

Mia snickered aloud at the words coming from Mai. Aaaah after so long it was just so damn nice to have someone who felt like they 'sided' with her on this sorta crap. Like, sure Nik was always open to talk but she also got the feeling she couldn't really go into details there. Like Nik was a nice person and would always have an open ear but Mia got the vibe that if she ever went into detail about her escapades they might get...Jealous? No that weren't right...was more like...She got the vibe they tended to feel inferior or some crap, which was dumb, but drunk Mia was not the best judge of dumb or not so-internal raspberry at her own thoughts.
"Well after a year of being with a classy, one woman gal it is nice to meet someone who recognizes and UNDERSTANDS!" She gestured dramatically while also leaning in like this was a defining moment of their meeting, in the grand play that was their lives this deserved something grandiose. "The vast complex nature of wanting to fuck every girl with a tight ass and a cute face!~" She snickered and giggled into her bicep as her head lowered again, sighing and lifting her head up once more at the comment about a medal, smirking wide as she played along.
"Nah, see they changed it to a trophy in 2015. If ya want a replacement ya gotta call the new number too, so best hope ya find it cause their customer service is shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!~" Continuing to giggle her ass off, she took a bit longer to calm down this time, and decided to make herself comfortable, still working off the giggles as she worked her arms out the sleeves of her coat, revealing her usual tank-top fashion underneath, though this one was a camo print at least. "Still like, serious now, is always nice to see someone who praises rather than judges. My ego thanks you.~"

Mai continued to snicker at Mia's various declarations. She really was a riot, wasn't she? "Oh, of course," she replied about customer service. How ever would she get her slut trophy now? Such a shame.
As Mia took off her jacket, Mai couldn't help but take her in a little better. HM. Those muscles weren't really what she normally went for on girls, but she couldn't say they were bad to look at at all.. at least, until the various little scars that marked her as a fighter caught Mai's eyes. Those weren't unattractive at all, but...
'Fucking pathetic. Are you still not over him?' No fucking shit, Sherlock, shut up.
Shoving those thoughts aside and ignoring the intrusive voice as best she could, Mai decided she may as well slip off her own jacket, a flowy and breezy material, long and black. "Praise might be a little strong, but your ego still deserves it," she teased.
Underneath, what might have looked like a low-cut shirt with her jacket on was revealed to be a strapless pale lavender corset, which accentuated her already very generous bustline significantly. Little to no midriff was visible, only a bit around the back revealed by her sitting position, but that was quickly covered by tying her jacket around her waist. Had to hide those stretchmarks somehow, after all. A black flared miniskirt, tight lavender leggings that almost / 'close-enough' matched her corset, and knee-high black boots completed her ensemble. One might question if she was serious about not looking to hook up, but Mai enjoyed turning heads for her own ego's sake, and the pressure from such tight clothing was honestly very comforting in its own way, so there was that.
"How long have you and your girl been together, if you don't mind me asking?" She propped an elbow on the bar once more and leaned in a bit to show her interest (and show off that tiny bit more).

With the motion of her taking off her own coat off to the side, Mia took the chance to look up and down her own body. Even through her slowly hazier and hazier eyes it was easy to tell the other woman was at least a little older, though the way she dressed honestly seemed a little young. Not that Mia thought that that was a bad thing, if anything she looked kinda cute...heck fuck cute-
"Hey if you're a fan of ego boosts-" Mia pinched her fingers into her lips letting out a loud whistle, enough to catch the attention of the bar without hurting any ears. She didn't mean to specifically grab anyone's attention as it was clear she was just giving out a wolf whistle, leaning across the bar with a cheeky smirk as she rested her chin on her hand. "Hubba hubba...~"
Of course Mia's teasy flirting / ego fueling was brought down to reality as Vesta was brought up, she frowned a little and sighed, pushing herself up and rolling her neck about to loosen up before she answered. She took a second to think, trying to determine the exact time and struggling to remember when she met her versus when they actually...did the do...
"Er..'bout...bout year and a half? Maybe 2?" She scratched the back of her neck and nodded to herself. "Yeah 'bout that. I mean she was a far more...'typical' gal than me since the start, maybe 'classy' is the word but like...she's been loosenin' up and I thought...maybe...I dunno."
