Spike's Pub is Open 12/28

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

The pub is filled with the aroma of the deep fried onion which Kadaj decided to try. The TV was on, set to a music video station and Loz and Yazoo were playing a game of pool.

The light buzzed on and the pub was open for business.

The little girl with black and white wings pushes the door open and walks around the pub, blinking slowly. She sniffs the air and looks at the three men working ever so hard.

All three brothers looked up at the diminutive girl that entered the pub. "Hello?" Kadaj said.

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

"Coo." She walks over to the one who spoke and looks up at him. Head cocked to one side, she looks into his eyes with her own brilliant green ones with narrow slits for pupils.

"We're not allowed to serve alcohol to minors," which she pretty much obviously was. "Juice?"

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

"Crrooo?" She cocks her head the other way, shrugs, and walks tot he next man at the pool table.

Yazoo and Loz looked down, both quite speechless at her appearance. But hey, only in Fandom Town.

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

Reaching a tentative finger forward, she pokes Yazoo softly in the leg. She proceeds to investigate his pants. Touching the leather lightly, she looks up at him, blinking slowly.

Children. Yazoo didn't handle children. He just didn't know what to say or anything. "Can I get you something? Do you want to play?" his hand gestured over the table.

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

"Dadada?" She moves away from him to the table. Putting both hands on the edge, she beats her wings and rises up, perching on the edge.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"I have no idea what you are saying," Yazoo said. He went to the end of the table and took a shot, the ball sinking into the pocket right beneath her.

Loz looked at Yazoo, then the little girl. "So...does she have a name?"

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

Her hand darts down the hole, snatching the ball. She picks it up and investigates it, her pink forked tongue darting out to taste it. She holds it out to give to Yazoo. "Cooroocoo dadada."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"Let me guess, this game's a bust," Loz said straightening up and leaning on his cue.

Yazoo grinned and picked up another ball for her. "Looks like it."

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

The balls quickly cease to be interesting. She sets them down on the table and turns, hopping down. She wanders back, deeper into the pub, looking around.

Kadaj isn't too worried about her getting into trouble. The only thing down the hallway off the pub were the bathrooms, the back door and the door leading to Spike's basement apartment, which the man kept locked at all time.

The storeroom door was closed as well, tucked away behind the bar.

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

She wanders farther until she reaches the locked door. Waving her hand across the knob, she turns it and opens the door with a loud creak. She moves slow and purposeful, exploring.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Okay...so Spike's apartment wasn't safe. Kadaj put his bartowel down and headed down the hallway to retrieve the little girl.

He locked Spike's door and pulled it shut again. "That door, would be a no," he said firmly.

With a small pout and a petulant look, she turns on her heel and walks back out to the pub. Moving to the television, she stands watching it for a while before approaching it and touching the screen with her fingers. A static shock makes her shriek. She jumps back and hisses at the television set.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Yazoo went to the bar and retrieved the remote control. Sinking to his heels beside her, he held the remote toward the TV and started to flip through the channels.

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

Her eyes dart from the screen to his button pushing. A broad smile crosses her face and she holds out her hand. "Coorooo?"

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"Try not to break it," he said softly. "We can't afford to replace it."

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

She nods emphatically. "Coocooroo!" and channels change at an epilepsy inducing speed.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

With her distracted for who knows how long, Yazoo went behind the bar to help Kadaj.

Loz...sat in his spot and watched the little girl with fascination. "What IS she? And who does she belong to?"

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

The channel changing gradually slows and she blinks at the different images she pauses on. She finally stops fully on a brightly colored and rapidly changing animated show. Little ducks quack and sing about love, and she is utterly mezmerized.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"Nooo...Noooo..." Loz intoned from the bar. "Yazoo, make her change that."

Yazoo shrugged. "It's keeping her quiet."

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

She begins to bounce slightly, trying to sing along. "Cac. Cac. Cac. Cac. Dadada cac."

She turns to them, wide eyed and puts her finger over her lips, shushing them.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"There, see?" Yazoo fought his grin and went back to working behind the bar. "She wants you to be quiet."

Loz rolled his eyes and gave Kadaj a pleading look, which was just ignored.

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

She bounces and sings until the show ends abruptly, a new one coming on about a crazy bus. She wrinkles her nose and begins rapidly changing channels until she gets bored. Dropping the remote, she leaves it on some Spanish language telenovela and wanders over to the bar, watching the tall one work. She grins at him.
