Loki tapped the faucette in to the holes and jammed them in tight. The eruptions of beer calmed, and eventually gently trickled out the sides of the faucettes until stopping completely.

Loki laughed cheekily when he said he admired the way she worked. "It has its perks." she grinned, plugging another barrel.

Of course, she froze at the sound of the cellar door being opened, and someone trudging their way down the stairs.
Loki almost squeaked when Andromeda grabbed her and pulled her in to hiding, his trenchcoat camophlaging them in the shadows. Loki silenced her breathing, and listened out as the tavern worker stepped down in to the cellar.

Loki glanced around for the exit, in case they were spotted.

"Another keg of the Newport please, Margi!" called someone from upstairs.

She glanced up at Andromeda, still keeping a calm composure. Loki leant against the wall, trying to give him as much room to hide as possible.

<sub>Andy was actually having fun with this! He never thought he'd be doing this, but at the same time, petty fun was something that he'd always enjoy this time around. Of course right now he wrapped himself and Loki in his black trenchcoat, blending in with the shadows and upturning his collar.

".... Idiot." He muttered, letting the spray of the barrels hide his voice. He then looked over to the exit, calculating it's distance in case they were spotted, so far, they weren't. The man seemed to get way too close to the two of them.

"Oy, what the-" Andy's swift reaction caused him to grab a plank of wood and just smash it into the man's head, causing him to knock out. He then looked over to Loki.

"Looks like this fun's got cut short. Let's get out of here before the peopel upstairs wonder why this guy's taking so long."</sub>

[Deleted]

Loki stood still, stiff as a board. She was used to hiding and creeping around, but this was extremely close for her comfort.

She flinched as soon as Andromeda turned, grabbing the plank, and smacking the unsuspecting bar tender across the head with it, knocking him completely unconscious. Loki stared at the guy on the floor. He was out cold.
"Holy mother of all things shiny." she murmured, grabbing a small barrel under her arm. She tugged one of the taps out, causing beer to pour out of the barrel on to the floor.

She grabbed two testing flagons, and ran past Andromeda.
"Way ahead of you pally!" Loki said as he advised that it was time to get the hell out of there.
Loki scurried up the steps and back out in to the courtyard.

Loki pocketed the tap, and shoved the flaggons in her coat pockets, before throwing the keg in to a bush, jumping over the wall, and collecting it.

[Deleted]

<sub>Andromeda stepped over the man as Loki grabbed a smaller barrel. He then looked over as she grabbed some taps and such and he then started running right behind her. He'd follow her and then climb up the fence, tumbling down it and rolling back onto his knees. He then glanced over to Loki and grinned.

"Heh, close call." He then looked up for a moment before scrambling up. "Okay, let's get a fair distance from them." He then grabbed her hand, helping with the barrel before running off to a location much farther from the pub.</sub>

Loki looked back at the celler. The beautiful thing was, the guy would probably end up waking up smelling of booze, with a really angry boss standing over him with the Idea that he got drunk on the job, slipped up and knocked himself out after sneaking drinks in the cellar.

Loki smirked at the thought of such a clean getaway.

Thus Andromeda then grabbed her hand, and they ran off down the shadowy streets to go enjoy their ill gained pickings.

As soon as she thought they had gotten far enough, Loki turned down a street and slowed to a stop. She looked back and forth

"Park, bridge, or prominade?" she asked, reading the signpost, trying to choose a direction to go in. They had to hurry. They probably looked a little fishy carrying around a keg and tankards. Loki didn't want to dwindle in one spot for too long.

[Deleted]

<sub>Andy laughed, wondering how that guy is even going to keep his job after that. It was a mess down there and someone was going to get in trouble. Either way, he was happy with the fact he has some booze and he can enjoy it with his brand new large age gap girlfriend. He then looked over as she asked him where to go.

"Bridge." He then literally swept her off her feet... carrying her, that is, not minding the extra weight and trotting off towards the bridge areas of Dula.

"Well I will admit that was a fun venture. How about you?" He's totally raping her. With the definition of rape being the ancient Greek one.</sub>

[Deleted]

*gasp* And here we were suspecting he's going to dump a bag of rapeseed over her head! *shot*

"Bridge it is." Loki said, as she started walking, only to suddenly be snatched up. "H-Hey! Put me dow- fine..." she stuttered, as she hung over her shoulder, resting her head on her palm while she tried to think of yet more ways to get out of this mess.

She had given him beer, and that was at the extent of her patience.

But then again, Andromeda was right. Goofing around in the cellar was pretty fun.
"Y-yeah. All in a days work huh?" Loki responded, resting her hands on his shoulder before pushing up to try and prompt him to drop her.

[Deleted]

<sub>Andromeda wouldn't let go of her anytime soon. After all, he kind of liked this girl, and in a non sexual way! Despite the... clearly large age gap. He was well aware she didn't want to be around him now, but you know... better he was like this than the other Dula men around there. If he had his way he would be the worst she had met of them.

"Good~." He then would stop where the bridge is, finding a good hiding spot and then finally plopping her and the beer down. "You liked it, admit it~."

He then crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, looking at her. Man, for Andy, it seemed that almost everything was a game now, everything was for his to play around with and poor Loki managed to get in the middle of it all.</sub>

[Deleted]

Loki impatiently drummed her fingers agains Andromedas shoulders as she was carried to the bridge. She rolled her eyes and sat quietly until they got there, and he set her down.

Loki brushed herself off, and straightened her hat as she ignored Andromeda, and pulled out the keg tap and pulled out the temporary plug before switching the faucette with it quickly.

Loki poured only half a tankard for herself, and a full one for her stand in partner in crime. She walked over, and handed it to him, before taking a false swig of hers, making it look like she had downed a full tankard in one.

"We got the expensive stuff!" She grinned.

[Deleted]

<sub>Pfft, even if Andy noticed that Loki was faking it, he knew she's slip anyway. Andromeda grabbed the glass and then swung a drink from it, downing it quickly, and doing the complete opposite that a beer drinker should do. Either way, he would enjoy the rick taste of alcohol with this girl.

"Alright, to the success of theft! And one knocked out bartender." Andy laughed, pulling out another drink and handing it to Loki and drank down another himself.

"I tell you what..." Andy started, but then he stopped, completely forgetting what he was going to say. "Oh yeah... I bet you can't steal a wallet buzzed like this~."</sub>

[Deleted]

Loki clinked her drink with his to that, and sipped her drink smugly. Yeah, it had been a pretty succesful night. All she had to do was be careful and not drink too much....

That was until Andy set up what she deemed a worthy challenge.

Loki put down her tankard softly, and looked at him.
"Don't let me stop drinking at all costs. Got it? You're on." the theif said, sounding deadly serious.

Well, so much for that plan being foiled by her over sized ego. Loki filled her tankard full, and swigged it down.

[Deleted]

<sub>Andy grinned, finishing his second Tankard, already feeling the lulling buzz of alcohol filling his systems. it won't be long before his head swam and he would be stumbling all over the place, but right now, he would get himself up to a buzz level. He then pointed at Loki, grinning like an idiot.

"Twenty five shillings says you can't." He then pulled out the money he got from his pockets. It was about one sixth of what he got. Either way, he'd get himself dirt poor by the end of the night if he keeps betting on poor Loki.

"Take it or leave it." He giggled at Loki, starting on his third round of alcohol.</sub>

[Deleted]

Loki almost spat put her drink. That was a lot of money for one little wallet swipe. How could she even resist?

"Oh, I'm taking it alright!" She said, downing the last gulp of her drink. She had already drunk so fast that she could feel that heavy buzz work its way in to her system. The stuff was strong, so it didn't take a lot for them both to eventually get very tipsy.

Loki giggled, leaning on Andromeda.
"So, Andy boy. Name your victim~." She sang, pointing to a group of sailors walking down the road near by, away from the pub.
"Ah, screw it. I'll choose one."

Loki stammered slightly in her walk, but she got close enough to the group, and waved at them, grabbing their attention, she put her arm around one of them, and the group cheered as she leaned, and almost took the other drunk down.

The group bellowed with laughter, until Loki gave out a couple of her cigarettes, and stammered off, making herself look more drunk than she actually had been, which was quite a feat.

The group left as quick as they had appeared, and Loki returned to their drinking spot.
She rummaged in her pocket, but pulled out only one, but two wallets and waved them at Andromeda with a cockiy drunken smile.

[Deleted]

<sub>Andy laughed again when she brought up that and then went off. Andy looked off to the distance as she decided to name her victim and he grinned, rubbing his hands together. Man this was going to be the greatest night he'd ever had and no prostitutes either!

"Pfft, I get she can't-..." Holy balls that woman is good. He is so taking her under his arm. He then leaned back, laughing like a loon when she came back.

"You are TOO good for Dula, Lokigirl!" He then put his arm around her finishing off his third round of alcohol, slipping the shillings in her pocket. "Let me tell ya, the LAST time I saw someone swipe that cleverly had to be Tilal from Fifth Street, yanno? Cept I had to shoot him cause they all wanted him dead. Got a lot of shillings from it."

He then offered Loki another round. Hot damn by the end of the night they'll have finished that keg and they'll be beyond drunk. Andy wasn't even sure if his ship was north or south from here now!</sub>

[Deleted]

Loki gave Andy a playful punch and laughed with him as he put his arm over her shoulder. She didn't even care any more. She was out of it.
"Oh stop it you!" She grinned, until he mentioned Tilal.

"Ah. So that's what happened to that little scumb bag. He owed me amongst a few others a LOT of money." she snorted, completely remorseless of the fact that Andy had killed him.

Loki silently took that other round, and drank it down. It had been quite a while since she had drank this well, but it didn't compliment the fact that she was skin and bones. The alcohol was getting in to her system very quickly.

"Yeek... I should probably go find a doorway or something soon before I pass out... ff.... this bridge will do." she shrugged, slumping down and looking up at the sky dazily. She fumbled for her tankard.
