The Devil's Nest, Wednesday Evening

[redheadbabyvamp.livejournal.com]

Despite the fact that she tended bar Fridays at Caritas and was a vampire anyway, Eric was being stubborn about those under 21 touching alcohol on the premises, so Jessica was manning the door at the Devil's Nest. (And she totally hadn't sulked about that for a week.)

"Hostess" sounded better than "bartender" anyway, right?

Entrance

Check your coat, pay the cover charge, and present your ID. If you're under 21, Jessica'll give you the big red X on your hand.

Jaina and her player was bored out of her mind, and that was never, ever a good thing. And since she always felt a little weird being served by a student at Caritas whether she was drinking or not, she was back here.

"I don't actually have to show you my ID, do I?" she asked.

"I don't want Eric to get mad at me if I don't follow the rules," Jessica said, glancing over her shoulder at the VIP section. "'Specially seein' as it's my first night workin' here and all. Everybody's gotta get carded, sorry."

"Fine, have a good reason," she said, but got out her ID to show Jessica. It was fake, of course, but at least it was a good fake. "Are you still working at Caritas, too?"

Jessica squinted at the ID. Eric had told her how to spot fake IDs, but she was hardly an expert. Jaina was clearly over 21 anyway, so she didn't care much if it was real or not. "I don't gotta stamp your hand," she said, almost disappointed she didn't get to wield her power.

"And, yeah, I'm still workin' at Caritas on Fridays," she added. "I just couldn't resist gettin' a job here, too, when I found out Eric was openin' the club. I've been to his one back home. It's really cool."

"You mean Fangtasia?" Jaina said, unable to keep the lopsided grin off her face. Come on, you had to laugh.

"Yeah!" Jessica said. Shh, she thought the name was awesome. "I kinda lived there for a couple weeks after I got made. Have you been there, too?"

Re: Entrance

[solo_sword]

"No, just heard the name," she said a little quickly. And because she was curious, she had to ask, "What's it like?"

She was betting it was really, really not her thing.

The Bar

Mod the bartender and chat with other patrons.

Dance Floor and Lounge

There was a lot of gothy vampire-y songs playing tonight, featuring Concrete Blonde (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOn1037ZLwA), Bauhaus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKRJfIPiJGY), and Crüxshadows (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGjK6hKahU8). And, of course, the goth national anthem (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgifFdi8eio).

Jessica thought she was funny.

VIP Section

Don't make Jessica bounce you if she finds you there without Eric's permission.

Eric was in his usual spot texting with Pam tonight. There was a hold-up on the Fangtastia calendar photos, a waitress had gotten pregnant, and the Liquor Board was making its quarterly inspection. It was all so very trying.

"You got the good stuff back here, right?" Jessica said hopefully. She'd gotten bored at the door and wandered back to the VIP section to gaze at bother Eric.

Re: VIP Section

[texted3times]

"Tru Blood?" he asked idly. "Because you can't nibble on Tiny on the clock."

Re: VIP Section

[redheadbabyvamp.livejournal.com]

"Does that mean I can when he's not workin'?" Jessica said, perking up and seizing on that.

Re: VIP Section

[texted3times]

Eric shrugged. "Sure, if he's into it."

Re: VIP Section

[redheadbabyvamp.livejournal.com]

Jessica glanced over at the bar, making a mental note to find out. "But you gotta have real blood back here somewhere," she said. "On account of you hatin' how much Tru Blood tastes as much as I do." Even bottled blood had to taste better than Tru Blood.

Re: VIP Section

Eric blinked. "When did I say that?"

Even though it was totally true.

Re: VIP Section

"You weren't kidding about the texting," Jaina realized when she spotted Eric and what he was doing. For some reason vampires texting just still didn't sound right to her, but at the same time it was kind of great.

Re: VIP Section

[texted3times]

"Hello, Jaina," Eric said with a smile. "Need a drink?"

He tapped out a few more words, then looked back up. "There. Now I'm done, assuming nothing else catches fire in Shreveport tonight."

Re: VIP Section

[solo_sword]

"There are no specials on shots tonight, right?" she checked with a smile. "And by the sounds of that, you seem to be having a fun night." Day?

Re: VIP Section

[texted3times]

"Inspection of the bar," Eric said. "I prefer being there to get a feel for the inspector."

Re: VIP Section

[solo_sword]

"I could not do what you do," Jaina decided. "Once I die I'd like to know I wouldn't have to deal with anyone inspecting anything ever again. What, do they just need to know that the poles are up to code?"

What, she'd had to ask what the place was like, and she'd gotten an answer.

Re: VIP Section

[texted3times]

"And that the dancers' papers are in order, and that we aren't serving liquor to minors or letting people get bit in the bathroom."

Ah, the fun of running a vampire bar.
