Spike's Pub is Open 11/11

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Converging on the pub in time to get it open, the brothers worked as the well timed team they were, getting the bar ready for customers. Drinks, ice, glasses and food, the sign was flipped on to say OPEN and they settled in to anticipate another slow Friday night.

Sometime after the fun of the fashion show, Angelus stopped by.

"Boys. I hear you have good news for me."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Kadaj smiled and shrugged. "We like to give good news."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"I enjoy good news," Angelus took a seat at the bar. "It makes me happy. Things which make me perfectly happy are even better. So, can I see it?"

With a grin, Kadaj motioned Angelus through the hallway and out the back door of the pub. In the courtyard, sits a slightly smaller version of their bikes. "The chassis is smaller than ours, it was the largest we could find without modifying it. Loz said to try to extend it would compromise the integrity of the frame."

"Niiiice," Angelus circled it, bending down occasionally to inspect the machine. "It works like yours?"

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Kadaj sunk to his heels and stared into the engines. "Yeah. It's loud and it's fast. We took it out for a test drive the other night. Loz is satisfied with it." Which was saying quite a bit since they wouldn't have called Angelus in the first place if they weren't ready to let the bike go.

"Loud?" Angelus looked as though he approved of this. "Really loud? Steppenwolf and not Manilow?"

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

He looked up at Angelus with a blank look. He didn't know the comparison but he did recognize a need for a demonstration.

Kicking the back door shut, Kadaj climbed on the bike and keyed the ignition. With a turn of his wrist, the engine came to life with a throaty rumble as it sat idling. He revved the engine with a cheeky smile as the sound echoed in Spike's courtyard.

"Excellent" Angelus clapped his hands together, raising his voice to be heard over the din. "Oh boys, it's just what I wanted. And not even Christmas yet. Lucky me."

She walks in after the fashion show, wearing the skirt (http://www.anarchy.com/~chaos/cj1.jpg) that earned her so much applause. Looking around for Loz, she walks to the bar.

Loz saw CJ come in and nodded Yazoo out of the way. He leaned against the bar with a grin. "Your legs are showing."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

You think? [She leans against the bar] I figured this was just as good, since I'm headed home anyhow. Geoff's fine. Ten's with him. I want a beer. Please and thank you.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

He got CJ her beer, sliding it in front of her. "Good," he said. Not that he was worried about Geoff...

Jesus, I needed this. [She picks it up and tips it back, swallowing rhytmically until it's half gone.] I didn't realize I was going to be ogled by the whole student body tonight.

"You like it," Loz said. He grinned at her, his eyes following her neck. It was odd, but she had a really sexy neck. "You've got it, why not show it off?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Because I'm a teacher, Loz. My kids aren't supposed to see me...that way. I teach, I'm not eye candy.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

He shrugged and straightened from the bar. "Then why did you do it?"

Sonia steps warily into the pub, taking in the atmosphere of the place. She wasn't a drinker, but it had been a long, odd evening, and she needed a few hours away from the dorms.

The place reminds her of one of the old pubs back home, and she relaxes a bit as she approaches the bar and takes a seat.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Yazoo placed a napkin in front of her. "Hey. What can I get you?"

[soniabelmont.livejournal.com]

She gives the bartender a tired smile. "Vould it too much to hope for tea?"

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

With a smile, Yazoo went to plug the electric kettle in and ready her bag and cup.

When the water boiled, he poured it up and set the steeping teabag in front of her.

[soniabelmont.livejournal.com]

"Oh, thank you so much." She grins at Yazoo over the steaming mug before taking a drink. She can already feel some of the tension draining, and she props her elbow on the bar to cradle her chin with her hand. After a few moments, she drops her head low and passes a hand over her eyes, grumbling low in Romanian.

"My God, vot a night."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Staying to the background, Yazoo kept an eye on her tea in case she needed or wanted a refill, without crowding her. Some people just needed space.

Sonia leans back in the bar stool now, her hands resting flat on the countertop, and glances around the pub not at all looking for someone to talk to, seeing if she recognizes anyone inthe small room.

He watched her looking around and tilted his head. "The curfew is cutting into business. It's quiet lately."
