The Devil's Nest, Tuesday (06/12)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale was behind the bar, studiously polishing and then neatly placing every single bottle. Their labels were even lined up perfectly straight.

When he finished with the bottles, he planned to tackle the bar napkins. They were a mess, all their edges sticking every which way.

Bar (06/12)

He isn't in a mood for talk, but Aziraphale will make you a drink if you ask for one.

Lucifer took a seat at the end of the bar, much more relaxed than the situation called for after last night's conversation with Wilson.

Since Aziraphale was pretty sure Wilson had kept his Monday-night date with Lucifer, he walked slowly down to the end of the bar and gave the other angel a speculative look. Maybe he'd know what was going on.

"Lucifer...was James here last night?"

"For a brief period, yes."

What? Did you expect him to say more?

Re: Bar (06/12)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

No, not really. But Aziraphale was willing to push.

"What happened? He was...upset, when he came home. I've never seen him that upset."

"He spoke with Gabriel it would seem."

Re: Bar (06/12)

Aziraphale's expression darkened, and he looked toward the door, as if expecting to see the Angel of Death standing there.

"What did Gabriel do to him?" he asked, his voice low and threatening.

Johnny has wanted to see the inside of this place since he's been at Fandom. He just wasn't sure what to think after he entered; somber, certainly, old music coming from the dance area. What the hell kind of bar was this? It seemed more like a gentleman's club than anything else.

He took a seat at the bar and waited for the tender to approach him.

Johnny was technically too young to be served alcohol at the Nest, but it wasn't like Aziraphale actually cared. He thought the whole thing about drinking ages was silly anyway.

With a nod for the young man who he figured must be new, Aziraphale set aside his cleaning rag and approached. "What would you like this evening," he asked softly.

Re: Bar (06/12)

Johnny had a top notch fake id did it become necessary.

"Scotch, please."

Re: Bar (06/12)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

As if a fake ID could fool an angel.

"Neat? Or on the rocks?" Aziraphale asked, setting a glass in front of Johnny. "And, er...do you have a preference on your brand?"

Re: Bar (06/12)

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Neat." Whenever Johnny's had scotch, that's how he took it. This would be the second time now. But like he's counting. Come on...

"Kubanskaya," he said smoothly.

Millie smiled at the man by the bar. She'd met him before somewhere, hadn't she?

Re: Bar (06/12)

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

She sure has, at the Perk. Johnny noticed her and gave her a warm smile, "Millie, is it?"

Re: Bar (06/12)

[livingasheth.livejournal.com]

"Yes," she said cheerfully. "Um... Johnny, yes? It's good to see you again."

Re: Bar (06/12)

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Right on the money," he said with a wink. "It is very good to see you again, Mollie. How's things been going over at the book shop?"

Re: Bar (06/12)

[livingasheth.livejournal.com]

Millie wandered in, looking for a drink and perhaps some company.

Re: Bar (06/12)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Giving Millie a little distracted smile, Aziraphale walked over to where she stood.

"Good evening, Miss Millie. What can I get for you?" he asked softly.

Re: Bar (06/12)

[livingasheth.livejournal.com]

"I think perhaps... wine? White?" She smiled at him, then her forehead wrinkled and she looked at him curiously. "Is everything all right? You look... not quite yourself."

Re: Bar (06/12)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale poured a glass of white wine and set it on the bar, then gave her that little smile again.

"Just a little...difficulty at home," he admitted. "Nothing awful, though."

He hoped.

Re: Bar (06/12)

[livingasheth.livejournal.com]

"Oh dear," Millie said. "I do hope it all settles itself out. If there's anything I can do - well, not that there would be much I could do, but still..."

Lounge (06/12)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

AS shadowy as usual, and ready for your quiet skulking needs. Or play pool or the piano, if you've a mind to.

Dance Floor (06/21)

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

It's Billy Holiday and John Coltrane tonight. Good luck with the dancing, you might just want to stick with a bottle of whiskey instead.

Re: Dance Floor (06/21)

"Maaan! Where's the girls in this place? I wanna dance!" Hey, he could dance to his own music. Especially after drinking.
