Jake sensed the sudden seriousness of the mood. "Yeah, that one. Normally I like British accents. Actually, I still do, but the person with the accent.. well, that's a different story. Met him about a year ago, during that short war." he paused, digging into his pocket for anotehr mint and popping it in his mouth. He rolled it around a little, letting the coolness seep out of it and down his throat, before he continued. "Long story short, he shocked me so hard I was out for days." he sensed that if he were to exact his revenge, a rivalry would start between the two, but he didn't care. He had been holding a grudge for a year, and now he had a chance for some payback. He sure as hell was going to take it. "It would be nice if he forgot his name. Better if he forgot he was even gay. That would be one less whore at the school." he chuckled humorlessly, smiling at the thought of kicking Conrad's ass. Hard. He whistled appreciatively. "Now that's what I call aiming high." To be honest, though, Josh didn't look like the doctor type, what with all the menacing scars and all, but he wouldn't judge. For all he knew, Josh would end up saving countless lives. He himself had no plans to attend any other college besides at the academy. He'd probably get adequate education to get an adequate job to live an average life. But when you're an elemental, life is anything but average. far from it. He laughed at Josh's words. He hoped that he wouldn't look at bad when he had his own picture taken for his license. He had been told that he was photogenic by more than one person, but he didn't really believe them. He nodded to show that any music was fine with him. It was actually quite catchy, the song he played. he tapped his foot to the beat of the song, while vaguely thinking about the party that was to come. time skip Jake had been about to doze off when he felt the car roll to a stop. He looked up curiously at the house in front of them, listening to the music blaring from inside, loud and clear even though they were outside. He could feel excitement coursing through his veins. He definitely had never been to a party like this. He stepped out of the car and walked with Josh until they reached the house. For a moment he was afriad that he wouldn't be allowed in, and the whole trip would have been for nothing, but he forgot his fears when the 'doorman' let them in. He followed Josh to the refreshments table, and looked suspisciously at the glass Josh was handing to him. He guessed it was drinkable, since Josh had just drank one, so he took the glass and downed it in one gulp. Not a good idea. The drink burned his throat, and went directly to his brain. "Nice world."

Joshua listened as Jake recounted how he'd met this Conrad guy, one hand tightening on the steering wheel when his friend mentioned how long he'd been unconscious. Oh no. Hell no. You did not shock the friends of Joshua Dale and expect to get away with it. An uncomfortable sort of heat started to spread through the vehicle as his ire increased but thankfully Josh realised it in time and managed to take it down back to a more manageable level. Aldridge was going down. "He'll be forgetting a lot more than that when I'm done with him," Joshua said darkly--he meant it, too. You did not fuck with his friends unless you wanted to get seriously messed up in return. "I'll deal with him; you don't have to worry about that. Arrogant prick'll also be forgetting he ever had the balls to mess with you... be lucky if he has the balls for anything when I'm done with him..."
A touch of pride bubbled under the surface when Jake practically complimented his choice of educational facility. Josh liked praise no matter how indirect it was, and he especially enjoyed when people recognised his academic prowess or his determination. His own father had barely lent an ear to him as of late so it was important to have these small spurts of self-confidence. "I know what I want," he replied simply, and grinned. Then he revealed something about himself that Jake had never known before. "My old man's a doctor, must run in the blood." He didn't speak about his parents around Jake, not usually. They were rich and his mother was well known but he didn't like to discuss such things with other people.
- la la la -
Joshua burst into laughter when Jake downed the shot right away. "Nothing quite like the first," he said deviously. "You're feeling it, eh? Right down the throat, she burns like fire, doesn't she?" The teenager smirked and downed his own shot with percision. It was quite clear that this was not Joshua's first night out drinking and it would certainly not be the last. "So what do you wanna do first? I'm not into the drugs and shit but there's always plenty of stuff to take advantage of in a place like this." Spin the bottle, music, women, ect.

Jake knew that he would have no chance, no chance at all, if ever he were to attack Conrad by himself. But with Josh's help... he smiled at the sudden possibilities. "Thanks man, it's good to know I got backup this time." It really was. At least, this time, he knew that he wouldn't get his ass kicked again.
He was surprised by what Josh said next. He hardly ever revealed anything at all about his past or his family. Jake simply nodded. He didn't ask any questions, because he knew he wouldn't get answers. Plus he respected other people's privacy. So he let the conversation end there. For the umpteenth time, he took a mint from his pocket, the last one, and popped in his mouth. They were quite good, actually. He made a note to buy some when he got the chance.
Jake smacked his lips a little. He didn't think it was such a good idea to get drunk immediately. Or to get drunk at all, for that matter. "Fire's not really my thing." he grinned. He was already starting to feel light-headed, and it was only his first drink. He'd try to avoid drinking as much as possible. But obviously, that would be just as easy as not blinking in a place like this. "No idea. I'm fine with whatever you wanna do. But I have to warn you, I don't do drugs, I'm not really looking for a significant other right now, and I'm a terrible dancer."

Josh nudged him with a chuckle when Jake grinned. "I see what you did there," he commented with a mild grin of his own. Even though the smiling came easy around people like Jake and when he was in the party scene, it was never as genuine as when he was around his parents or Annabel. Nothing about him ever seemed to be genuine any longer. There was too much cover-up, too many masks to be wearing. Seeing past the disguise to the troubled man underneath was hardly possible, but it also blocked a lot of good things, too. His ability to create solid relationships with people, for one. Such things were built on trust, and that was an alien emotion for him now.
He snorted a bit. "Just told you I wasn't into drugs, didn't I?" He hated the things, they killed your brain cells and really fucked you up. He'd seen it happen to people. "Don't worry about that. Bunch of stoners won't bug us as long as we stay out of their way." There was always contact fumes to worry about but Joshua just did his best to stay away from the obvious potheads and everything was alright. So as long as Jake stuck with him they'd survive this night. "Who said anything about significant others?" he laughed. "Anything goes in this place--but if you're not looking for drama, just don't hit on any of the ladies."
Josh? Well... it really all depended on how much he drank and whether the girls were willing to approach him. As long as he didn't go over his 'blackout' limit then he'd end up going home without a new notch on the bedpost, but if he got too far into the scene then they might be in trouble. He wasn't doing this to get over depression, however--he was doing this for fun, and so he was going to have fun. He was pretty confident that he could monitor his own levels. That didn't stop him from taking a third shot, however. The buzz burned down his throat and Josh grinned a little. "As for dancing... ha, neither one of us'll be any use at that in the next hour or so. Be lucky if you can stand."

Jake grinned back. Unfortunately, that was one of his biggest weaknesses, trusting people. At the moment, he entrusted his safety to Josh completely and without reason. His reasoning: Josh was definitely experienced with these kinds of things, and wouldn't let either of them get too carried away. His next words only helped to solidify his already rock hard trust in him. His tongue moved around his mouth a bit, tasting what was left of his first shot. One more wouldn't kill him, would it? So it was with this mindset that he took the bottle of whiskey, poured himself a second shot, and downed it in one gulp. It burned, just like the first one, and this one made him even more light-headed. It was a weird feeling, one that was totally new to him, but also one that wasn't really all that bad. "Actually, you know what, it's not that bad." he said, grinning again.
He nodded, "Got it. Stay away from stones. No bugs. Don't hit ladies to avoid drama." he chuckled. He guessed the drinks were getting to him.
Right about then, a blonde materialized beside him, reminding him very much of Tori, but he did not say this out loud, of course. She mentioned something about there being an empty room upstairs. He shook his head and laughed a little, "Sorry, but I'm taken." he said. Technically, well, honestly, he wasn't, but it would be better if she didn't know that. She persisted a little more. Apparently, relationships meant little to these people. After a few more minutes of polite denying, she finally left. "Are they usually like this?" he chuckled, feeling all happy and jolly and all that, presumably from the drink.

Josh gave a bit of a laugh at Jake's words, realising that he might be buzzed already. He had to keep in mind that this was Jake's first time to a party like this with any hardcore drinking so he probably wouldn't last as long as Josh in terms of inebriety. "Hitting women is probably also a bad idea, I'd agree with you there," he said, shaking his head a little.
He waited patiently as Jake dealt with the hot girl that was hitting on him, taking the time to survey the room and absorb what was going on around them. He saw one of the guys leading a very drunk girl upstairs by the hand and made a mental note not to wander up into any of the bedrooms. Some people could get off on the amusements of others but Josh preferred to live out his own rather than watching someone else like a creeper. "A lot of them are," he shrugged, amused by how polite Jake had been. "So are you really taken or was that just a cockblock?" Of course, it was gender reversal but Josh didn't care about the etiquette of such slang. He'd get slapped if he ever used such words in the fancy estate owned by his parents, but he'd been punted out of the nest so he didn't regard their rules any more.
He was just debating what they should do next when an (obviously drunk) girl hailed him over loudly. "Daaale, hey Dale!" He glanced toward her as she leaned on her less intoxicated friend for support. "You n'your cute friend there should come 'nd play with us." She sounded a bit high, too, now that he thought about it. He opened his mouth to pass up the offer but then noticed that the crowd playing Spin the Bottle seemed interesting if you weeded out the obviously plastered people. "Sure, why not." He sat down in the circle and nodded to Jake. "Come on, it'll be fun."
Because he was a new player they made him go first, as was their custom. He spun the bottle and raised an eyebrow as it landed on a totally hot chick. Haha, alright. She wasn't that great of a kisser, however, and he was careful to keep her from getting too deep into it. Her lips tasted like alcohol and cheap breathmints that did little to mask it. "Your turn, Cameron," he said, and gave Jake a look to indicate he should play along with the using of last names. Keep it anonymous.

Jake nodded, completely agreeing, noticing vaguely that he was probably already drunk, unlike Josh. But of course, this was his first time, so he excused himself. Since he was already drunk (probably), then there was no use holding back, was there? With this thought, he made the very drunken and not so smart decision that he would not hold back on the drinking. After all, when would he get a chance like this again? His common sense was telling him that he would have a terrible hangover the next day, but it was nothing painkillers couldn't handle.
When the girl finally left, he followed Josh's gaze to the stairs leading to the next floor, where a guy and a girl disappeared to. He wasn't that naive that he didn't know what was going on up there, and he would definitely be keeping his distance, drunk or not. Ï'm very much taken, for your information." he winked at Josh, and said nothing more about it. Josh didn't need to know the whole truth, that he was very much in love with someone belonging to an enemy element. Yup, he definitely didn't need to know about that. Jake pushed those thoughts to the very back of his mind for the moment. He would not let them interfere with this moment. He was supposed to be having fun, so fun he would have.
He raised his eyebrow when the girl called Josh by his last name, but otherwise, said nothing about it. He blushed a little when the girl called him cute, as he wasn't used to being called things like that at the academy. "Well, if you say so..." he said, before taking his place beside Josh in the circle. He knew that games like these were more than just truth or dare. His heart started beating faster when Josh took his turn. He didn't want to kiss anyone else. Even just the thought of it made him feel unloyal. But he had no choice. He didn't want Josh to think of him as a coward. With an inaudible sigh, one that only he heard, he took the bottle and spun it.
Thankfully, very very thankfully, it did not end up pointing to any of the guys in the circle, but instead at a cute little blonde. Was everyone at this party blonde? Seemed like it. He couldn't help but think of Tori. Well, might as well get it over with. He only gave her a short peck, and hardly opened his mouth at all. She looked disappointed, but forgot about it after a while, thinking that she'd eventually luck out and get paired with a really good kisser.

Joshua arched an eyebrow at Jake when he said that he was taken, quite surprised by this fact. They didn't talk that much about their personal lives but as Jake had never mentioned a girlfriend before Joshua had merely assumed that he was single. He had nothing against people in relationships, however it seemed that Jake was being elusive and so Josh took that as a hint not to pry. "Cool," he said. "Lucky girl." He shot his friend a grin and punched his arm lightly again. "I don't get into that kinda thing. Too many restrictions for me." He lied and pretended that relationships 'weren't his thing', but in reality Josh had just never been in love enough to understand what his 'thing' was at all.
Joshua watched as Jake hesitantly allowed his game partner to peck him on the lips, carefully noting that he seemed hesitant to do much else. He'd be a good boyfriend for someone, then. Someone that Josh would want for Annabel when she was old enough. Josh himself was a perfect example of what parents and siblings never wanted for their loved ones. He was so romantically loose that forming a bond with one person was not likely. And it was lonely, but he pretended that it didn't bother him. "New rule," someone called out. "If you refuse to do it, you've gotta take a shot." Ah, so now this was going to be a drinking game, too?
Unfortunately for Josh, a guy across the way spun the bottle and it landed on him. "I think I'm taking the shot," he said with a bit of a chuckle. "I'm not gay." A few of the guys wolf-whistled, yet another one called him out for being a coward. The idea that they thought he was chickening out angered him however. He'd show them! "Fine, whatever. Consider it a dare, then." He beckoned the guy over and kissed him full on the lips, just to make a statement. It grossed him out and made him want to shudder, but when someone challenged Joshua he did not disappoint. He'd practically stole the breath from the boy and he gave a wolfish grin. "What was that about chickening out?" he asked casually of the one that had called him out earlier.
He took a shot anyway to get the taste of alcohol on his tongue. Eugh, that had creeped him out. "My turn again, it seems." He spun it and watched as it landed on a fiery redhead. The girl stroked her hand down his chest and strayed dangerously close to the belt line as she kissed him, and she was a little less falling-over drunk than the last girl had been, so Josh leaned into the kiss and allowed himself to enjoy it. His grin broadened as she pulled back and gave him a last teasing peck on the cheek before practically dancing back over to the spot and spinning the bottle again.
