The woman walking into the bar today still has the remains of eyeliner and glitter around her eyes, but the clothes themselves are a perfectly ordinary set of shorts and fitted t-shirt.

If anyone asks, Nadine was at a party last night. And, because she can, Natasha is going to make sure that party was way, way more fun than 'Tanya's' waitressing shift.

Mostly, though, she's going to claim a couch, slip off her tennis shoes, and curl her feet up, just because she can.

"Eh. Wouldn't be the first time." She had a rough time in France, learning from one of the most powerful Watches in the world, but given entirely too much slack in her leash for someone so young. The resulting conference with Gesar had been so much fun. "At least this time I could do it on purpose."

The laughter changes to more of a giggle.

"Do tell, Katya."

She sighs, and pours herself more vodka.

"I was on loan to the Watch in Paris, France - one of the more powerful Watches, though they rarely did anything with it. I had been sent into the surrounding countryside for training with one of their mages, and we ran across a pair of wild vampires. It was a lovely spring evening, so there were plenty of infatuated lovers littering the landscape for them to feed on." It had been a bit of a gory scene, really - she was not at all envious of the human police who got to clean that up. "They split up and ran, so we did the same - mine was a lot older than me and a bit beyond my class, and I couldn't stay in the Twlight as long as him. I came up for rest... and forgot to check where I was. But how was I supposed to know they were going to hold a midnight mass for Joan of Arc's feast day?" She asks plaintively. That'd gone over like a bomb - one dark-haired girl suddenly appearing in the middle of the church, blood-stained and wild? It's the stuff of Catholic legend.

She snorts, and then presses her hand to her mouth, giggling.

"Oh dear. The paperwork for that must have been fun."

"Utter nightmare. I was put on a desk for almost a year, and that was only what Ansalme Boulanger felt necessary. My next check in with Moscow was brutal." She grumbles - Gesar hadn't even waited for the usual face-to-face meeting - she had ended up with the head of the Moscow Nightwatch waiting for her in her dreams.
