Caritas [Saturday evening]

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

Robin was not wearing her Robin Sparkles regalia longer than she needed to. Which was for the obligatory performance.

So, for right now, the wig and graffiti denim jacket were tucked away, and Robin herself, brunette and irritable-looking as ever, was behind the bar and eyeing a bottle of Johnnie Walker.

[hooooly crap, wait for this OCD. it's intense. OKAY IT'S ALL UP. For the sake of not collapsing the post from sheer OCD, there's no audience reactions threads -- just react right off the performances, please! Have fun! \m/]

"That's right! Someone usually needs to take one for the team, and it might as well be the most useless one," said Dani. "When my brother ran his nightclub, it was the opposite way around. He was the one who sacrificed to bring in all these hot bands. Then again, Junior's not really a fighter."

"And, typically, people who run the clubs and taverns don't really like a lot of fighting in them, anyway. I've had a few try to kick me out for that before..."

They never got very far. It was pretty hard to actually kick a man like Minsc out of a place.

"Don't get me wrong. My brother could probably hold his own in a bar fight. He just doesn't seem to be able to stand up to our dad," said Dani.

Raising an eyebrow, she added, "I'm sure you'd make anyone regret trying to kick you out of a place."

Oh, how nice of her to notice! Minsc couldn't help but preen a little. "Especially," he said, "if they like their furniture! And is your father a strong fellow, Lady Dani?"

Minsc bet he could still probably take him even if he was, though.

"My father is a deceitful, sneaky, devious man, but compared to you, he's not very strong at all," said Dani. "I'm sure you could take him out without a lot of effort."

Re: The Bar [06/20]

"Any man," said Minsc, solemnly, "who is deceitful and sneaky and devious is not a strong man in the slightest."

Then there was a pause.

"If you don't mind me saying so, anyway, Lady Dani."

Re: The Bar [06/20]

"I don't mind at all. I'm inclined to agree with you on that point," said Dani. "The whole reason I came to Fandom is because he cheated me out of my business back home."

"And what did you do about it?" asked Minsc, who expected there should be at least some face punching in involved.

Re: The Bar [06/20]

[justlike_a_girl]

There hadn't been any face punching involved.

"I negotiated a financial settlement for my shares in the family business, packed my bags, and left town," said Dani. "I haven't spoken to my dad since, though he's tried many times to get in touch with me."

Re: The Bar [06/20]

Yes, there was a noted lack of face punching in that answer.

"...Want I should punch his face?" Minsc offered, to help remedy that.

Of course, a punch in the face from Minsc could cause considerable damage, but there was a good chance that he's stop trying to get in touch with Lady Dani afterwards.

But, really, it was the solution to anything, right?

"It's very nice of you to offer, but no, I don't think Dad needs a punch in the face," said Dani. "Even if he is devious and underhanded, he's still my dad."

Besides, Dani may have left out a few details, such as how her father took over the farm as part of a plea agreement that kept Dani out of legal trouble.

Re: The Bar [06/20]

Minsc probably wouldn't have understood those details, anyway. He made no effort to hide the snap of his fingers in disappointment.

"Well," he sighed, "the offer is still on the table should you change your mind, Lady Dani."

Re: The Bar [06/20]

[justlike_a_girl]

"And I do appreciate the offer," said Dani. "If my father does decide to show up where he's not wanted, I'll give you a call."

Re: The Bar [06/20]

[berserkerminsc.livejournal.com]

"And I vow," Minsc said brightly, "not to disappoint!"

Re: The Bar [06/20]

[justlike_a_girl]

"I'm sure you wouldn't disappoint anyone," said Dani, smiling. "You've been a good friend, Minsc."

Re: The Bar [06/20]

There was something suddenly vaguely sad in Minsc's smile back, though he diligently tried to hide it. "And I hope I shall continue to be so, Lady Dani."
