"An ol' sayin from me homeland. Means 'cheers."
The Hunter grinned, taking his third beer that evening.

"Yeah!...Whatever that means!" She gestures for another. "Hey, how many until I get drunk?"
-
"Don' know. Wanna find out?" He opens a tab as he asks, chugging yet another beer. In the backround, several men begin a game of darts, beckoning the Hunter to join.
-
"Sure! It'll be a fun lil game!" She bounced in her seat, excited to play a game with who she considered a new friend.
-
"Aight 'en, lass. Drink yer fill." He slides another drink to her. "Then see if ya 'an hit that target with a dart."
-
Traci gulped it down in seconds and licked her lips. With wobbly legs she moved in front of the dart board. "I can so do this."
-
"Five glimmer says yer wrong, lass." "I think she can do it." Wisp replied. Both of them watched her intently.
-
She grabbed a dart and aimed it at the board. Her hand was unsteady and it looked like she'd miss by a mile, but when she threw it she hit the bullseye. "Did I do it?"
-
"I owe ya five glimmer." "Told you." The Hunter reached into a pocket and withdrew five small, glowing blue glimmer cubes. "Ere ya go, lass."
-
"Ooh! Sparkly..." She half walked and half stumbled over and took the glimmer. "What is this?"
-
"Glimmer. It's money where we come from. You can turn it into anything you want." Wisp explained to her, twirling happily around her. "Ya earned it. An congrats, yer drunk."
-
"Thanks, Wisp." Traci gives a drunk girl giggle and sits back down on the stool, her cheeks reddening.
-
"I'm glad you won. Oh, and I can remove some of the effects of the alcohol if you want." The Ghost added, floating around her.
-
"Nah! I feel grrrreat!" Traci rests her head on the table. "Why is the world spinning?"
-
Finn laughed at her. "Because you're drunk. You'll get a really bad headache soon." Wisp warned.
-
"Bah! I'll be fiiiine!" She giggles yet again and attempts to hug the ghost. "Eyy, buddy!"
-
He willingly allows himself to be hugged. "You're awesome, Traci." Finn finished his last drink and smiled. "Aw, Wisp finally got imself a friend!"
-
"You're awesome too, lil floating buddy." Traci cuddles the red and green ghost affectionetly.
-
If Ghosts could smile, Wisp would have been grinning ear to ear. "Thank you! See Finn? She agrees with me! I'm awesome!" "Aye, an' humble too."
-
Traci continues to have an arm around the ghost while gesturing for another drink with the other.
-
The bartender slid her another beer "Yer naugh goin' ta be walkin home on yer own, are ya?" "Oh shush, Finn. If she could beat you at darts I'm sure she can walk home."
-
"I can walk just fiiine." She once again finishes the drink in record time and slams the glass back down. "Y'know, I feel so good right now."
-
Finn laughed, paying the bartender. "Tha's cause yer drunk. I think Tha's enough fer one night. Yer goin ta 'ave ine 'ell of a hangover on the morrow."
