Nick laughed at Claire's joke, glad to have someone for company tonight. Somehow parties always soured once he found himself all alone, drinking all on his own. It was part of why he he allowed her to take him by the arm and lead him towards the circle that was forming up. Whatever definition people had of 'getting high school up in here', he was willing to check it out. As he was pulled through the crowd towards the table, he managed to snag a slice of pizza, folding it in half and taking a huge bite.
It seemed the circle was attracting tons of people, and as they introduced themselves, Nick smiled, shook hands, and tried to commit their name to memory. Someone who introduced himself as 'Park Jun Hoe' bowed, and Nick greeted him, scooting over towards Claire to make room for him to squeeze in. "Seems like that's the drinking fee. Hopefully you don't have too much to be exposed for." He grinned.
Amberle was pouring shots for everyone, and at her offer took a shot. On impulse, he knocked it back before reaching for another. Just something to calm his nerves, if you would. The second shot he set in front of him. "Bets on that this one doesn't survive the first three rounds." At Rowan's first scenario, Nick sighed guiltily. "Didn't even make it past the first round. With questions like this one, I'm due for alcohol poisoning in the next hour." The quip was followed with a good natured grin as he knocked back his shot.
