Debora wasn't much of a clubber, somewhere along the line she seemed to have missed that phase. She was, however, a professional barfly. She was still very much the new kid in town; after what became known amongst her and her friends as the "New Years Incident", she had been evicted from her small flat in Brooklyn and subsequently forced to do a bit of home shopping (as much shopping as an unemployed just-out-of-college individual can do), finally finding an even smaller apartment to rent in Cascade. So here she was, two weeks later, and the bar at Club Alien was still the most interesting place to go.
The twenty-one year old made her way over to the bar, hopping onto a bar stool and ordering a shot of tequila, grinning cheerfully at the bartender. Today had been a good day. Mind you, yesterday was a good day too. Days were generally good, now that she thought about it. Debora was always an optimist. Her iridescent green eyes surveyed the interior of the club. The electronic, booming music one only seems to find in clubs was beating so loudly around the room the floor seemed to vibrate, silhouettes were dancing wildly on the dance floor, illuminated by colourful flashing strobe lights, some people were stationed at various tables getting drunk and laughing merrily, while others, like herself, were sitting at the bar also getting drunk and laughing merrily.
Debora wriggled slightly in her seat, beginning to itch for someone to talk to. She turned around and thanked the bartender as a shot of tequila was placed on the wooden counter in front of her, along with a small salt shaker and a slice of lemon. She balled her hand into a fist and sprinkled a bit of salt on top, then licked it off, grabbing the glass of tequila and downing it in one go, then taking the slice of lemon and biting into it. Debora grinned, wiping her hands on her jeans, and happily ordered another round. It was friday night after all, so as far as she was concerned, "Let the drinking commence!".
