Spike's Pub is Open 01/06

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Kadaj sat behind the bar, the aroma of pizza and fried onions filled the pub. He had the folder out and the papers spread out in front of him. Ownership papers.

He and his brothers owned the pub.

And he had no idea what to do. They didn't even have last names.

Sighing, he needed to figure out a way to tell his brothers about it. Loz would freak. Yazoo'd think it was fun to have one.

Whatever they did, they would need to get some help and not just in the pub. Tomorrow, Kadaj would go to find CJ. She'd know what to do.

In the meantime, he opened the pub, just like they have since they'd been in town and he would figure out what to do tomorrow.

Justin decided it was a good time to stop by the pub and grab a nice glass of whiskey or a martini, it didn't matter. He took a seat at one of the stools, intertwining his fingers together to wait for the bartender.

This place wasn't halfbad actually, it wasn't as run down as he had thought it would've been.

Leaving his paperwork and turning the TV down a bit, Kadaj moved to stand in front of the guy and leaned on the bar. "Hey. What you drinking?"

[ooc- I'll be a bit slow until later but I'll be here!]

"Whiskey, on the rocks, thankyou." Justin says with a small smile up at the man on the other side of the bar, he'd have to try his best to make friends around here or he wouldn't hear the end of it from Ghita the next time she wrote him to complain about his anti-social qualities.

Pulling the bottle down, Kadaj fixed his drink and slid the glass in front of Justin. He leaned against the bar again and studied the man closely. Suddenly, out of the blue, he tilted his head and asked a question. "If you owned a bar, what would you do with it?"

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

Justin tips back some of the lovely burning whiskey into the back of his throat, he cleared his throat before speaking, "I'd clean the bloody place up first, maybe re-arrange some things?" he arches a brow, "Make a bloody profit, is what I would do. You're surrounded by students, make this place thee place even if they can't have the alcohol." Justin smiles at Kadaj nicely.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"What would make it the place?" Kadaj had no idea. He wasn't a student, never been one.

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

To be honest, Justin isn't al that good with determining the student's new 'trends' but he tries his best to help Kadaj out, even if it sounds like a bunch of nothing to him.

"Oh, I don't know. Games, weekly events.." he trails, trying to think of anything else as he tips back some more whiskey, "..Appeal to the 'men', make this place the same kind of place they are in England. Full of men, all have a bloody good time."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Nodding, Kadaj was listening. "I don't know about that. Don't know what that's like." Maybe Yazoo would be able to do some research.

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

Justin nods, "I'm guessing you would have to experience the English bar scene to really get a feel for it." he pushes his now empty glass towards Kadaj, giving him a polite nod for more.

Falling silent, Kadaj refilled Justin's glass, setting the bottle to the side instead of putting it away. He looked around the pub wondering, for what he was sure wouldn't be the last time, if he wasn't cut out for this business stuff.

"You'll do fine once you come up with some ideas, I'm sure of it." he sips his drink now as he remembers where he's seen this boy, "You're one of CJ's friends, aren't you?" he asks rather eagerly.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. I am." His eyes narrowed slightly and he tilted his head. "You?"

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

Justine nods slightly, "CJ and I know one another but since her crash, I'm afraid I haven't seen her at all." a rather sad expression comes over him, he had really liked CJ but he never seemed to fit in with her and her group of loved ones.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"Still recovering from her injuries," Kadaj mused. "I'm sure she'd be glad to hear from you as she tries to put it all back together."

Seeing the man's expression, Kadaj wished Yazoo were there. He was so much better at this sort of thing. "So are you a teacher too?"

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

"That's right. I teach Cultivation & Gardening." a small smile comes to him now, a topic he likes to talk about. He wraps his hands around the cold glass, bringing it up to his lips for a drink.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"Oh. You're the guy that has the garden greenhouse thing, right?" Kadaj nodded. "That's cool. Not much grows where we're from."

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

Justin arches a brow, "You've heard of my greenhouse?" he smiles wider now, "Lovely. You should really come visit, I'd love to host you for a day."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"Well, it's a small island. If someone's paying attention, there isn't much to miss about what's going on," Kadaj said. He smiled and tilted his head, leaning further on the bar. "Of course, now that makes me sound like the town gossip."

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

"I'm not one for gossip myself, so I wouldn't know if you were or not." Justin lightly drank the whiskey in his hand, this pub wasn't halfbad after all. He glances down at his watch, it was getting pretty late and it was time for him to retire for the night.

"Thankyou for the drink, but I must be off tonight. I'll hope to see you again?" Justin stands from his stool, staring at Kadaj from across the bar.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"You should. We own this place now," Kadaj tilted his head to the side to look at Justin through his hair. "All respectable business owners now," he said with just a hint of a mischevious smile.

[jquayle.livejournal.com]

Justin smiled back, "Respectable. Right, I'll remember you said that, and hold you to it." a small laugh as he turns to leave the pub, he would surely come back in due time.
