Spike's Pub - Open 01/21

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Their errands on the mainland ran them longer than they anticipated. Ultimately, the brothers finished and raced back to the island to get the pub ready to open.

The bar was set, the music blaring and the TV flashing mute images, the sign was flipped on and flickered in bright neon...OPEN.

All three were there and huddled around Kadaj who had a folder in front of him, reading.

Between the dorms and the movie

Pushing the doors open, she stands there for a minute looking around. Seeing the three of them behind the bar, she walks over and slides onto a stool.

"You have no idea how much a want a drink."

All three look up when she walked in. Loz's eyebrows shot up. This one was new. And she was hot. Redhead. His weakness....

Kadaj shoved Loz back down on the stool to let Yazoo handle her, since he was best with customers. Last thing the girl needed was to fend off Loz. At least at this point.

Walking up to her, Yazoo looked closely at her. There was something familiar about her...he just couldn't put his finger on it. She didn't look quite old enough to drink but since there wasn't anyone to really tell...he leaned on the bar. "Hey. What would you like?"

Her eyebrows rose slowly. She was sure they would have known her no matter what. Crestfallen, she waves her hand..."Whiskey sour, extra cherries."

"I told you!" Loz shouted at Kadaj banging on the bar. Kadaj rolled his eyes and set the paperwork aside. "You said she looked familiar and I agreed with you."

Yazoo shook his head and made CJ her drink. "Sorry about that, you caught us off guard." Sliding it in front of her, he leaned against the bar, making way for Loz and Kadaj when they crowded around.

"So what happened, CJ? You don't look like you normally do?" In this town it's not surprising anything happened, only the hows.

She brightens, giving Loz perhaps the most brilliant smile in the world. "I got sucked into that weird locker and came out in my body from high school as far as I can tell. Seventeen, I'd guess since I didn't find the scar I got when I was eighteen."

Shep had needed to run into town and get some things from the NPC Pet Store. On his way back, he decides to finally stop in at that bar he'd been hearing about.

He walks in and sits at the bar. There's a girl he's never seen before along with a bunch of townies he has seen.

He orders a drink and then studies the t.v. trying to understand what's going on without the sound.

Yazoo broke off from CJ and went over to the guy, leaning on the bar. He looked up at the TV as well and grinned before talking to him. "Want something to drink? And I can get you the remote if you want to watch TV."

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

"Um... I don't suppose you carry hard apple cider by any chance?" He usually can't find it in bars, but hey, maybe some day he'd get lucky.

"And I don't need the remote, I was just seeing what was on, but thanks."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Yazoo ducked under the bar to look. "White Lightning okay with you?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Oh, god...don't give him that." The redhead looks at him. "He's not old enough to drink anything hard anyhow."

Ivanova, looking rather down and absently rubbing her wrist, stepped into the bar and lifted an eyebrow at the change of decor since she had been here last. She leans against the bar to survey the crowd and decide what to drink. And figure out if the brothers would take her EarthForce identicard. Or if she'd need it.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Moving away from CJ again, Yazoo headed over to someone he recognized from being in there before. "Hey. White Russian, right?"

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Ivanova smiled at him. She wasn't quite up to a grin. Guess the ID wasn't a problem. "Not tonight. Give me something with too much alcohol, and maybe a naked and compliant girl at the bottom. Or a guy. I'm not really picky at the moment."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"Too much alcohol," Yazoo repeated and nodded. "My pick, then." He thought for a moment before starting the drink mix. Jack Daniels, vodka, Dr. Pepper, a little sugar and a cherry, he slid it in front of her. "I love to experiment," he said with a grin.

"And naked and compliant bodies are extra."

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"How much extra?" Ivanova asks, deadpan. She takes a sip of the concoction and makes something resembling the Buckley's Cough Syrup face. "What the fragging hell is in this?" She takes another sip and shrugs. "It's not actually that bad."

Ben opened the door to the pub cautiously. The last time he'd been in here, he and Michael been trying to pry their inebriated son out. A lot had happened since then. It was now possible for him to walk in here without having an altercation with the men behind the bar.

Michael had overslept by a long mark and then decided it was not worth opening the store today; Ben had spent a long afternoon trying to be quiet around his moody, puttering husband. The writing he should have done had been pre-empted by multiple e-mails that needed answers. At this point in the evening, Ben needed to get out of the apartment, needed a strong drink, and needed a little bit of an escape from Michael. Caritas was not the scene he wanted to put up with tonight. So here he was, taking a seat at the bar.

Peeling off from CJ, while Yazoo waited on the other young woman at the bar, Kadaj headed over to take care of Ben. He had some guts coming in, even if things between him and Kadaj's brother were at least...at a draw.

He leaned on the bar in front of Ben. "Hey. Beer or something else tonight?"

[mikeys-ben.livejournal.com]

"Beer. Please. Something bottled." He stretched his neck to one side, then the other, both sides making a rather harsh popping sound. "Ow. Fuck," he muttered under his breath. not because mun is doing the same thing, not at all

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"Domestic or imported?" Kadaj frowned at the noises coming from his neck. That couldn't be healthy.

[mikeys-ben.livejournal.com]

"You have Corona?" Ben rubbed the back of his neck. He was far too uptight. Stretching and yoga would be called for tonight....later. He'd let the beer loosen him up first.

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

"Doing?" Now Shep's getting a little defensive. "I wasn't *doing* anything. I was having a drink and talking. That. Was. All." He's not entirely sure yelling back is the best tactic at this point, but it's kind of too late.

In the storeroom

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Dragging CJ into the storeroom (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/550167.html?thread=21547287#t21547287) being followed by...some other kid that Loz didn't have time to deal with, he let her go when the two girls were far enough apart they couldn't lunge at each other again. "What the fuck, CJ?"

Ten leans against the doorframe and watches the two of them. He sighs, audibly.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"She hit me, Loz! I'm not gonna take that!" She's flushed and there's a red mark rising on her cheek.

"CJ, you could lose your fucking JOB," the boy points out, hands in his pockets. "And don't tell me that the administration would take this as an excuse."
