Officer Jade Harley is twiddling her pen. It is nearing the end of her work day, and she is absolutely bored. Her pen continuously hits her metal desk causing a tapping nuisance that has been driving Officer Vantas insane for the last five minutes.

Tap, tap, tap, "Will you stop that!"

Jade is startled, "Stop what?"

"Your continuous tapping! Are you trying to damage my brain? Why don't you make it easier for yourself and shoot a bullet through my skull?"

Officer Harley drops her pen, "Alright, geez calm down. I'm just bored."

"What is your problem?" Karkat rants. "If you're so bored than just bother someone else!"

"Well that's helpful!" Jade pushes away from her desk and watches the clock; she is reminded of tv shows with kids following the clock at the end of class. This is pretty similar she believes. But if it's similar to school, then what do the children look forward to afterwards? "Hey Karkat I got an idea, why don't we get drinks after work! We could get drunk!"

Karkat keeps his head bent over his work, "No offense Jade, or take the fucking offense, but you're not the best drinking buddy. You're twenty-one, not a great age for heavy drinking. Fuck, the way you offered sounded childish." Jade stuck her tongue out defiantly. "Way to prove my point Harley."

"Come on Karkat, it'll be fun!" The woman flips to a different troll, "What do you think Vriska?"

The blue troll is inspecting her nails, "I could get drunk alone as easily as with you. I'll think about it."

"Jade you do realize that having Vriska with us will not increase my desire to indulge in alcohol?"

Officer Harley pouts, "Karkat stop being a butt!"

Karkat's desk phone rings. The troll picks it up, "What is it?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Vantas," Kanaya starts, "but Mr. Makara is requesting you in the front office."

"What is Gamzee doing here? It's almost closing time."

"I don't know Mr. Vantas, but Mr. Makara is making it out to be urgent."

"Alright fine, I'm coming." He hangs up. "I'll be back in a minute," he tells Jade. The troll soon leaves the females.

Karkat enters the entrance room, and Gamzee is staring at Kanaya's horns, "Whoa sis, just how do those motherfuckers bend like that? Can I motherfucking touch those sharp shits?"

Ms. Maryam watches him cautiously, "Don't make me get my lipstick."

"I could totally use a motherfucking makeover sis."

Officer Vantas steps in, "I got this Kanaya." He pulls Gamzee over, "What are you doing here?"

"Well bro, it's a motherfucking long story."

Another troll bursts past the entrance doors. Her long, damp hair slaps her back as she runs past the desk, "Hi Kanaya!"

"Good evening Ms. Peixes. Shall I inform Mr. Captor of your visit?"

"Nope!" She keeps up her pace, "He knows I'm coming." The sea dweller troll waltzes into the officers' area. She is dressed for the nightlife.

Feferi sneaks up behind the double horned troll and wraps her arms around him, resting her chin on his shoulder. "How's my favorite Guppy?"

Sollux is stunned, "Fef, what are doing here?" She twists around to face him confused.

"We had plans tonight, don't you remember?"

"We did?" Feferi nods her head, and Sollux face palms, "Oh Grub Fef, I completely forgot."

Feferi throws her head back grimacing, "Sollux no."

He shakes his head, "I'm so sorry Fef; I have all this work to still do. I'm so sorry that I forgot."

Feferi leans on his desk, "I understand you have work like everyone else. All for the good of Skaia, right? We can always reschedule."

"I really am sorry about this Fef."

She sighs, "And I do understand Sollux. I just . . I was just really looking forward to this night out from all the craziness going around lately."

Jade, who had been listening to the conversation nearby, perks, "Hey Feferi, I was just trying to gather some others to go out for drinking tonight, do you want to come?"

"Drinking?"

"Yeah it'll be fun! I'm trying to get Karkat to-"

Karkat's head pushes past the doors, "Hey Jade I'm leaving for the night. Bye." And he was gone.

"Well I guess Karkat isn't coming," Jade finishes with a forced laugh.

Feferi smiles, "That might actually be fun."

"That sounds like a great idea Jade," Sollux agrees. "You should have fun and go nuts, Fef."

"Wow," Feferi is amazed, "I don't know if I've ever been out drinking crazy." She ponders it for a second, "I'm in."

Jade turns to Vriska who is still doing her nails, "Do you want to go drinking with us?"

"I don't know Jade, drinking with a kid and princess there might dampen the party mood."

Feferi starts a bargain, "Well how about this Vriska, I'll use my limo to drive us around to avoid drunk drivers and I'll pay for the drinks."

Vriska sits up excited, "Free drinks and a limo? Alright I'm in."

"Wow that was easy Vriska," Jade jokes. She grins at Feferi, "Thanks. Oh I know! This can be a girls' night out."

"That does sound like fun!" the troll giggles.

Officer Harley stands up in her seat, "Would you mind if we made this group bigger?"

"More the merrier!"

"Great!" Jade dashes towards the front desk.

Kanaya is busy applying her lipstick, but stops when she sees Jade running up towards her, "Ms. Harley you know better than to run in the department. This is a place of-"

"I know I know!" Jade interrupts with a slight gasp for breath. "I just wanted to know if you would like to hang out with us tonight."

"Us?"

"Feferi and Vriska are coming with me for drinks. Do you want to come?"

Kanaya is conflicted; this isn't her sort of thing. "I'm not sure Ms. Harley. It's not really my type of activity."

"Oh come on Kanaya!" Jade props her hands over the front desk. "Instead of reading some trashy romance novel, come get hammered with us!"

"I don't know . . ."

Jade rolls her eyes, "I did say Vriska would be there. She's going to be drunk."

Kanaya is insulted, "I'm not going to take advantage of her."

"No no no not that! But you'll get to hang out with her, and she might see another side of you that's looser that she'll like!"

The receptionist sighs, "Alright, it'll at least stop you from pestering me. And my relationship with Ms. Serket could get . . closer."

Jade snickers, "Awesome! We'll be leaving soon."

"Ms. Harley I swear you are the devil." Jade just smirks and returns to her desk.

However, she stops half way to bring out her cell phone to make a call. She searches her contacts to find the right number and presses the call button.

It rings while she waits around the other desks. Other officers are already packing up and leaving around her.

"Hello?"

"Hey Rose it's Jade. What are you doing tonight?"
