Nice to meet you(Remle)

[Andreas Pruitt]

Andreas rubbed his neck as he entered the bar, he had had a long day at the school with his students, with some of them acting like little assholes, and one student who though she was nice and enthusiastic she was extremely clumsy and he had gotten exceedingly more frustrated, and he needed a couple drinks to settle himself down. Reaching the counter he took a seat at one of the chairs and waved the barkeep over and ordered a glass of ordinary beer. As he waited for his beer he looked over to the person who was sitting beside him, she seemed to have been here for a at least an hour and seemed very inebriated, deciding to make small talk while he waited for his drink he introduced himself, "Hello there, my name's Andreas, mind if I ask your name?"


(OOC: sorry I couldn't resist mentioning Axelle)

[Remle Boyd]

Remle was certainly happy. She didn't have to work tonight because instead, she had spent all day at some conference in Burlington representing the station. She had talked about their emergency set up, their ad allowances and how much time they dedicated to local music. Originally she had wanted to go home and call Kota to spend time with him. She still got that little butterflies in her stomach feeling when she thought of him being her boyfriend, followed promptly by goose bumps and that desperate wish of "Please don't let me screw this up somehow!" since she'd screwed up the last two relationships she'd ever had. But Kota was working, held up at his company until later. She was so disappointed by the prospect of going home and being alone that she had gone almost immediately to the bar to have a drink.

One drink was of course quite enough to break down all those walls she erected around herself and soon she'd been giggling along with another patron and bugging some of the other regulars in the bar. Before she knew it an hour had passed and she was on drink three. Remle was laughing about something when the man next to her got her attention and asked her name. She blinked up at him for a moment and then remembered her manners. "I'm Remle! Nice to meet you Andreas!" she smiled as she reached out, shook his hand and dropped it almost as quickly. "You look beat, long day?" she asked casually, like an old friend might, friendly and open.

[Andreas Pruitt]

"It's nice to meet you too Remle, and yeah it's been a long day." As he finished speaking his drink finally arrived, he grabbed it, and took a long drink from it before setting it back down on the counter. Looking back at Remle he wondered why she was here exactly and decided to voice his question to the friendly woman, "So, why are you here this fine evening?" He had said the last two words in a sarcastic tone, but that didn't mean he wasn't still interested in why she was here.

[Remle Boyd]

"Oh well you know, work. Decided that I deserved a drink so I came down here to have one," she shrugged. "You don't sound too happy though, what's your job that's got you all down today?" she asked curiously as she took another drink from her glass and set it down on the coaster, twirling it absently with her manicured fingers. They were black this month, with just a touch of clear glitter giving them depth. She reached into a nearby bowl of nuts and took a small handful, popping them into her mouth as she prepared to listen to Andreas’ answer.

[Andreas Pruitt]

"I work at a school, and I've just been frustrated all day from how some of the kids acted." Andreas said while he watched Remle eat the nuts. Feeling peckish he also reached into the bowl of nuts and his own handful. "So, what do you?" He asked, while tossing the handful of nuts into his mouth, and then finishing his drink off, and ordered another beer.

[Remle Boyd]

Remle finished chewing and swallowed, chasing the salty snack with her sweet drink before answering. "I'm a DJ on the radio," she answered with a smile. "You can hear me in the late show, starting about ten o'clock."

Remle put her drink down again (determined to make this one last longer) and peered back up at Andreas. "So are you a teacher then? What do you teach? Or are you an administrator?" she questioned curiously.

[Andreas Pruitt]

"DJ, eh? Maybe I've heard you on the radio before? But, probably not since I don't get the luxury of staying awake past nine thirty." Andreas said, while his next beer arrived. Laughing softly he looked down at her and answered, "I'm just a PE teacher, and a soccer coach, and where I teach a lot of the kids are especially troublesome." He then had grabbed his beer and this time drank it in one gulp, and then ordered another.

[Remle Boyd]

"A PE teacher? That sounds exhausting. I could never be a teacher," Remle chuckled. "But Soccer coach is cool! Did you play soccer in college or something or just in high school?" she asked. "I never really liked sports in school, I was way more interested in music and studying. I'm not sure when I decided to get into Radio but I'm really glad that I'm doing it!" she said casually.

[Andreas Pruitt]

Letting out a small laugh and smirking Andreas said, "It is exhausting, but I think it's worth it to teach those kids on how to be healthy and stay in shape, and yeah I was a soccer player at my old highschool, couldn't play much after that though since I tore my ACL during practice one day." As he listened to her talk about why she became a DJ his next drink arrived. This time he set it down on a coaster instead of downing it in one go. "I wasn't always the best student at school myself. Hey, I didn't expect to be a teacher either, sometimes you just do whatever you feel the most comfortable doing." As he finished speaking he picked up his drink and took a small sip, since he had become much more mellowed since he had started talking to Remle.

[Remle Boyd]

"Well that's good, as long as you're happy with what you're doing!" she said cheerfully. She cringed at the idea of having an injury of any kind. "That sounds like it hurts, does it still bother you?" she asked conversationally. Her father still complained sometimes about a shoulder he had dislocated in college and her mother's ankles popped when she walked.



"So what do you like to do for fun after a day of teaching students "how to be healthy and stay in shape?" she teased.

[Andreas Pruitt]

Rubbing his knee Andreas said, "Yeah, I still feel some pain when I walk and work out." In truth the main reason he still worked out as much as he did was to make sure that his knee stayed strong enough for him to actually show kids how to do some exercises and training techniques.

Smiling down at her he said, "I like to exercise, and come here to drink sometimes, I also work as personal trainer so I don't have much time for anything else besides that. Now what do you like to do for fun Ms. Remle?" After he finished he turned his body towards hers slightly and grabbed his beer and took another small sip waiting for her answer.

[Remle Boyd]

"I like to write and listen to music. If I'm not doing that I enjoy reading," she answered. "Not really into excersizing much," she admitted. "Though I do like drinking," she smiled as she inclined her glass towards him with a chuckle. She thought about how some of her hobbies were bound to change here in the new future...now that she had a boyfriend and all. She giggled just thinking about it. She and Dakota could do all sorts of things, like hold hands and see movies together and take walks in the park.

It would be so romantic.

[Andreas Pruitt]

"Those sound like fun things to do, and yeah most people I meet don't like to do that either. Granted they're all kids and most of them try to skip my class." Andreas said with a small laugh. As Remle tipped her glass to him he tipped his own to her with a smile and said, "Well there's something we have in common."

As he set his glass down he looked at her noticing how she was acting ... more than little drunk, but that was probably just because she'd been at the bar for a lot longer than he had been. Still, he was curious as to what she was giggling like a woman in love, so he asked, "So, do you have anyone you like to hang out with?"

[Remle Boyd]

"Yes!" she announced happily. "My boyfriend!" She giggled again. "He makes video games and stuff, and he's really cool," she explained with a goodly amount of hand flapping. "What about you? Do you have anyone you like being with? Are you dating or married to someone?" she asked curiously, eyes wide with inquisition and, in anticipation of his answer she had leaned forward ever so slightly, bracing herself on the bar with her head in her hands, elbow planted almost painfully on the wood.

[Andreas Pruitt]

Smiling as Remle talked about her boyfriend Andreas began thinking about his old girlfriends and immediately regretted it, since he still was pissed about why they both left him; one left him because she found some rich arsehole who was the git of some bank owner in Germany, the other one left because she said that she'd "found" someone when in actuality she'd been having sex with the guy for the last two months of their relationship, and only been going on dates with him to get some free meals till the other guy found a job.

Still thinking about his past girlfriends Andreas realized that Remle had asked him about his love life, putting on a fake smile he said, "Not right now, but I've been on a couple dates these last few months." You mean one you bloody idiot, he thought to himself.

Shaking his thoughts away Andreas looked back at Remle, and asked "So, how long have you and you boyfriend been dating?"
