The Devil's Nest -- Saturday 3/31

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Here it was. Setsuna's first real turn behind the bar. Mazikeen, of course, was there to help or grab a few orders here and there, but Setsuna was determined to do this correctly. She'd spent all of last night paying close attention to what Mazikeen did and had spent most of the day going over all the different combinations for speciality drinks and general bartending knowledge.

She was so ready to do this thing. And possibly even look cute while doing it.


[[ actually here tonight, too! yay! ]]

The Bar

There's a good chance that Setsuna might not actually mess up your drink.

There's also a good chance that she will, too.

Cally couldn't find Mac.

Cally couldn't talk.

She sat down at the bar and pouted.

Re: The Bar

Setsuna's head tilted at Cally coming into the Nest and tilted a little further at the slumped pouting. She drifted over.

"Hey, Cally," she offered a small smile. "Something wrong? Can...I get you anything?"

It was, after all, her job.

Re: The Bar

Cally had left her notebook behind, so she grabbed a cocktail napkin and wrote 'Cursed. Mute.' on it and held it up.

Setsuna frowned worriedly and wrote back 'How?'

...It was a natural reaction to write it out, and didn't realize that she could have just vocally asked until after she'd done it, and she blinked a little. It was a good thing to know she could, because it told her it wasn't like that whole thing over the summer...That would be very bad, but, after all was...um, unsaid and done, she figured writing back was best because it seemed more polite to respond in kind.

Re: The Bar

Cally shrugged. She didn't really know how.

So she wrote down a note of 'Drink?' and held it up and looked pathetic.

Re: The Bar

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Awwww. Setsuna couldn't refuse a pathetic look, and offered a hopefully, kind-of encouraging smile. At least Cally didn't seem too worried about this whole not speaking thing, so it couldn't be too bad.

'What can I get you?' Setsuna wrote, and would worry about whether Lucifer was terribly conscious about things like wasting napkins later.

Re: The Bar

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally shrugged. 'Something to make me not worry', she wrote back.

Kabuto was there, mostly just to watch how Setsuna did things. And he might as well offer a greeting, considering they'd sortof be working together soon.

It was polite, afterall.

Re: The Bar

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna gave Kabuto a small smile and a nod. "Can I get you anything?" she asked, trying to be both polite and friendly at the same time. She had a lot of experience with the former, not so much with the latter.

Re: The Bar

"//Ah...how about a gin and tonic?//" Kabuto grinned, wanting to see her reaction to the language switch.

Re: The Bar

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

After talking with Ami for so long in Japanese last night, it certainly didn't phase her. Setsuna almost found it a relief as she nodded, then asked, //"May I see some ID?"//

Re: The Bar

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

Both eyebrows shot up. "//You know, if you card around here, you won't be serving many drinks. Besides, I work here.//" Kabuto shrugged. "//Besides, all I have for ID is this.//" He pulled out one of his blank info cards, sending a charge of chakra into it before passing it over. Now, rather than being blank, it was more like a traditional ID.

Re: The Bar

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

//"Well, y..yes, but..."// Setsuna faltered a little and told herself that she should check with Lucifer about what the rules for underage employees drinking here. //"...the rule here is twenty-one and over, and that if any of the students want to drink alcohol, they should do so at Caritas. I imagine Lucifer,"// ...why was she lifting her chin as though a proud elite follower? //"...simply wants to keep his establishment to an older, more mature audience...."//

And then, thinking at least maybe she could surpass the rule a bit if Kabuto had a fake ID like Cally, she leaned over to look at the card.

Re: The Bar

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

"//Oh?//" Kabuto smirked. "//An older, more mature audience. Served by students. It makes so much sense.//" The ID actually didn't have an age. The information was very vague, the only number being his ninja id number.

The Lounge

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

There isn't a table that isn't sparkling clean from Setsuna's undivided attention.

She does have to fight down the urge to start swinging around pool cues like a sword, though. Their length is rather close to that of her nodachi.

Less than thrilled with the bar (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/1557266.html?thread=69630994#t69630994), Kabuto dropped down into one of the lounge chairs, spinning a wooden kunai on one finger.

Re: The Lounge

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

Poor ninja boy. Couldn't get a drink.

Ignoring the smirk from Mazikeen, Lucifer silently stalked up behind Kabuto, resting his hands on back of his chair. "Enjoying yourself?"

Re: The Lounge

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

"Not particularly," Kabuto replied, watching the spinning wooden blade.

Re: The Lounge

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

Idly watching the knife spin, Lucifer moved his hands to circle the back of his neck, half threat, half promise.

"Then why exactly are you here?"

Re: The Lounge

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

"I've found it's a good idea to be familiar with a place before you begin working there," Kabuto answered, gripping the handle of the kunai before returning it to its place in one of his pockets. "Why are you here?"

Re: The Lounge

[dawn-bearer.livejournal.com]

"What kind of business owner would I be if I ignored my new employee," He replied, looking over at Setsuna.

Re: The Lounge

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

"Then maybe you should pay attention to her. Unless you have...more important things on your list of things to do?" He raised an eyebrow, smirking.

The Dance Floor.

...Setsuna will swear left and right that the J-Pop playing in frequent rotation tonight is actually something she knows nothing about.
