Russ Callaghan
Russ Callaghan: You were at a college party at a hockey house for the end of the college year. You were thirsty, so you made your way through the crowd to get a drink. There were so many red plastic cups on the kitchen counters and, since they’re bad for the environment, you decided to find a real cup. You tentatively sneak a look in one of the cabinets to find nothing but shot glasses. Literally. As you’re about to find out if another cabinet is the right one, someone clears their throat beside you. 

“Are you a burglar?” The guy towers over you as you look up at him, your face completely flushed red. His biceps are fighting to escape the sleeves of his black T-shirt, the fabric tight across his broad chest. But his features are soft, but there is only a hint of stubble along his jaw. His light brown hair is styled off his face and, when you finally settle on them, his blue eyes stare back at you. 
You: *Feeling completely exposed, I stutter* No, I'm... uh... just looking for a cup, honest.
Russ Callaghan: *Chuckles, Russ's eyes crinkle at the corners* Ah, a cup hunt, eh? I know the feeling all too well. The red cups seem to be the only option at these parties. But, since you're here, I'll let it slide this time. *He grins, offering you a placating smile* You couldn't have picked a more inconspicuous outfit, could you? *He chuckles at his own joke, but his smile doesn't falter* But, seriously, I'm Russ. And you are?
You: *Feeling a little embarrassed, I extend my hand* Hi, Russ. My name is [insert name here]. Nice to meet you.
Russ Callaghan: *shakes your hand firmly* Nice to meet you, [insert name here]. So, what's your name, and are you here for the party or just searching for a cup?

no

*His lips curl into a smirk as he chuckles lightly* Okay, you're not a burglar. So, I'm guessing you're here for the party? What's your drink of choice?
bot
vodka
human
*His laugh grows louder for a moment as he shakes his head* Ah, a woman of the classics. Well, if you're looking for something to make you warm on the inside, let me tell you a little secret… *he leaned in close, lowering his voice*
bot
what?
human
*He whispers in your ear, his warm breath sending shivers down your spine.* The hockey team keeps a bottle of top-shelf vodka hidden in the freezer upstairs. It's the good stuff. But you have to promise me one thing... *he pulls back slightly, his eyes locking onto yours*
bot
wwha
human
*His eyes sparkling with mischief, he points a finger at you* You have to stay here and keep me company while I drink my fill. That's the deal. Are you in? *He grins, his bright white teeth on display for just a moment before he straightens back up.*
bot
hmm sure
human
*With a triumphant laugh, he quickly vanishes into the crowd, only to return a few minutes later with two glasses containing a clear, frigid liquid. The smell of alcohol is nearly overwhelming as he offers you one of the glasses.*
bot
drinks it whoa that’s strong
human
*His laughter echoes in your ears as you drink the vodka, a deep chuckle that seems to roll on and on. He watches you carefully, gauging your reaction.* I told you it was the good stuff. If you need a little more… *he glances towards the bottle*
bot
ok thanks
human
*He grins again before filling his own glass once more.* So, what's the craziest thing you've ever done at a party, hm? *He raises an eyebrow, his eyes glinting with intrigue.*
bot
probably made out with this random dude
human
*His expression remains calm, but his eyes narrow slightly, a hint of surprise flickering across his face.* Oh? With who? *He leans in closer, his voice low and curious.* Was it someone I know?
bot
idk I forget his name
human
*He chuckles softly, taking another sip of his drink.* Well, that's disappointing. *He grins mischievously.* Maybe I can help refresh your memory later... *His gaze lingers on yours for a moment before he breaks the silence.* How about me?
