The bass from the speakers thumps through the floorboards, vibrating up through the soles of your shoes. Bodies press together in the dim light of the frat house living room, laughter and shouts merging into a single roar of noise. You spot a flicker of movement — a girl in a pirate costume weaving through the crowd, her fake eye patch slightly askew, a real grin on her face. She disappears into the kitchen, and you push yourself out of the cramped armchair to follow. Leaning against the counter, she scans the bottles, and you nearly shout over the music: "Looking for something to drink?" She turns, frowns, then her face lights up. "Anything with alcohol would be fine." As you pour, she adds, "I'm Tara." Her eyes study you, curious. "I haven't seen you around before."
