One of the best things about living in a city that sat alongside the ocean was how cool the nights got in the evening, Though still carrying a muggy hint of the day’s humidity, but even that was a blessing when a ocean’s salty breeze would brush through and cool the air. It made standing around outside not unpleasant, not that it was going to stop Kyle from finding something to complain about. “If we were in Kanto we wouldn’t be waiting in any lines.” The tall man, his hair slicked back and styled in gel, hands shoved into his pockets and standing taller than the small group he was with.
“We don’t gatta wait in line here either.” A darker toned figure mutter casually in response, lifting his hand to his lips so that he could take a drag of his cigarette. “I know this joint.”
The tall man’s gaze snapped over to Jerome in an instant, his eyes widening slightly. “What? Then why are we waiting outside with everyone else?”
Jerome glanced over at him, making a gesture with his cigarette, and then shrugged “an s’nice out, right now.” He added
the small group standing together glanced around at the line of people they were standing among, come to think of it, they hadn’t even been lead there by Jerome, they had just naturally fallen into line with the rest of the civilians standing outside a club that Jerome had brought them to.

Finishing his cigarette wasn't the only reason Jerome had decided to linger outside for a little bit longer. though he didn't express it, he was of course aware of Zacharie's uncertainty. So giving the youth some more time to gather himself might help his friend.
Jerome still moved a hand to the now taller man's shoulder, the one small and gangly boy that Jerome had met in the dark ally way years ago didn't exist anymore. who lived today, while still very much Zachaire, was a much taller, filled out young man now. Speaking for a law abiding citizen, a person who lived under what society might consider more normal circumstances, turning 21 was the age one could legally obtain a drink of alcohol, Aside from a strange case with a red headed trainer he had shared some drinks with that was... who had admitted to somehow getting drinks legally before the age of 21. But Zacharie he knew had not had any drinks yet. and while Jerome was fully aware of the fact that there would be a number of things that Zacharie would much prefer to do, Jerome was doing this more as a rite of passage, a step into manhood. It would be an honor.
Jerome knew some pretty sketchy dives, in his days on the streets he had access to a number of bars that he wouldn't really deem as very safe, but with the expanding of the Griff's, and Jerome's new power over the gang, he had his pick of some places that would be a bit less... dirty for his team... and safer.
only half finished with the cigarette, Jerome took one last draw, exhaling the last of smoke from his lungs as he flicked the cigarette toward the wall. "Aight, S'go in." Jerome told the ground who stilled seemed to be recovering from the news that they weren't going to have to be waiting in line. With Jerome in the lead, the older gangster slunk his way up to the front. nodding his head at the bouncer who didn't need to take a second glance as he gestured Jerome and his group in, though there was something of distaste on his expression once Jerome had passed him.
Jerome knew it was nicer, though he hadn't been to this particular bar before. He was surprise to see just how modern and up kept it was, who knew what other kinds of shady things went down in a high roller place like this though. Skipping the seats at the bar, and heading to a table reserved for special guests, a dance floor filled with dancing patrons, the music loud, but thankfully not obnoxiously so. The lighting in the bar was bin, with strategically placed accent lighting giving it an eccentric feel to it.
Kyle paused at the table, taking a moment to cast his gave around the bar with a judgmental quirk of his eyebrow, though oddly enough chose not to say anything. "See aren't you glad I helped you pick out something? You would have looked completely out of place.... or more then usual." Kyle sighed, pulling his hands out of his pockets and shifting to sit in at the table along with Kyle.
"Oy" Jerome grunted, placing his knuckles on the table and leaning forward a little "ain't puttin' up with bad vibes, we're here to have fun."
"Sounds like a plan" Kyle agreed, standing back up and heading to the bar, to odviously get a drink.
"so your first bar when you're 21 huh?" Jamie asked, the dark haired asian leaning over toward Zacharie "I remember when I turned 21! we went to a bar not nearly as nice as this. only we forgot to bring a designated driver with us"

Jerome shook his head, "Naw, ain't trouble at all, 'sides, kinda like bein' able t'throw my weight round all these Griffs." He admitted with a single chuckle before he took took a seat.
By this point Kyle had returned to the table, pulling up the seat next to Ryan and sitting down, shortly after a waitress came up to the table with a tray, where she then started distributing drinks. one each for the Rockets, and pausing when it appeared she had an extra one. "Oh oops, did I grab one to many?"
"Naw," Jerome answered herm just as a large half glowing Gengar was summoned from the shadows, reaching out to take the last drink from her, earning a jarred flinch from her. "Oh!"
With drink in hand, Bro floated down next to Zachaire, holding his glass out and clinked it to his drink.
"So what? Zacharie are we going to sing to you for your brithday? I've been practicing!" Jamie asked, holding his own drink out a little.

"Seventeen's pretty young." Ryan pointed out "I mean, when you take a look at it when you're older its young... its pretty young." He finished with a shrug, showing that he was stating his opinion. Though Jerome gave a nod in agreement, As the oldest one at the table.
The other listened as Zacharie told his side, moving to look at Jerome when he picked in, watching Zacharie's hands disappear from the table top. "bring'in ya into Team Rocket wasn't the best, but it was the only thing I really had for ya." Jerome admitted "think its made Team Rocket a little better though." He let of a light sigh, and took a drink from his drink. "but naw, So I'm standing in this alleyway in this hood I know ain't that safe, and then ya got this kid diggin' round for flowers." Jerome chuckled " Ya know that sayin' bout the bunny who chills with lions."
Jamiee's eyes had widened at the story about his father scaring Zachaire;'s face. "I wondered where you got those..." she said "I'm sorry."
The others glacned to Jaimee, then back at Zacharie.
"why am I not surprised you were digging around for weeds..." Kyle pointed out
