"I'm a right...what now?" ((Haha, my boyfriend's dad is actually Irish, and really does get this bad at times...))

((Booooooo!! Happy birthday, love!))

Sapphy smiled slipped off her face. Sapphy had a very intricate chart of anger with varying levels. She was hard to get truly mad, but when the right button was pushed...

First level was to ignore. Second level was a snipe back. Third level was to yell and rip a new one with her vicious rhetoric. Fourth level she threw things. Fifth level... Well. Fifth level she would black out with rage and forget her morals to fight instead.

Race hit a level two.

"I'm not crazy," she said, voice dangerously quiet. The words she was using were so calculated and important that she slipped out of her Irish brogue and back into her faked, no-homeland accent. When she had to really think about what she said -- which was typically all the time -- her Irish went away. "Don't ever fucking call me that again."

"Sorry," he said. "You're not crazy. But..." He leaned in and spoke confidingly. "You are drunk."

"I'm tipsy and having a good time. There's a difference." She went to take a breather before her temper escalated.

Race stared after her and got caught up in the difference between drunk and tipsy. He was still trying to calculate it when another drink materialized, probably sent by one of his many Brooklyn friends or the even more numerous Brooklynites who owed him money, and he sipped it and lost track of Sapphy. He supposed she would come back when she was ready.

Spot and Raven seemed to have stopped fighting. He frowned across the room. In fact, there was no sign of Raven. Probably out getting some air or taking a nighttime swim.

Now every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep.
'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.

Maybe that's when she can visit him in Brooklyn?))
