The Devil's Nest: Saturday, August 27th

[nookiepowered]

Between waking up at an hour more appropriate for dinner (Bo was still trying to figure out how her alarm got shut off; she suspected gremlin involvement, but couldn't prove it) and cutting out early to open up the bar, Bo hadn't exactly been a social butterfly at the picnic this time.

Oh well; she'd meet the new students sooner or later, and given the current students, she expected to be meeting the new teachers aaaaaaany minute now, probably while mixing them a double of something really strong.

Time for signage, in fact:

Tonight only: doubles for the price of a single, for all Fandom High Staff.

[OCD up, post open! Method-RP? Why nooooo, why d'you ask? *eyes bed I was in until 5:30*]

The Bar [8/27]

[nookiepowered]

Where your bartender was studying the Big Bartender's Book of Big Booze to find out which drinks worked best as doubles, besides straight shots of liquor.

It was a tired Neal who took a seat at the bar, looking more than a little tired from encountering all those... kids.

Why did Peter want him to be a teacher again?

"Let me take you up on that sign," he requested, waving a hand. "Balvenie on the rocks?"

Kenzi had wandered in to bug Bo. And now she had someone else to bug!

"Hey, Mr. Caffrey. How's it going?" Kenzi looked amused to see him drinking.

Neal... had not expected a bouncy seventeen-year-old to be allowed in here. But he had to admit that of all the Fandom students who fit that criteria, she was probably the one he had the least aversion to seeing.

Which was a compliment! In a way.

"Well, it's not storming outside," he said, in the tone of one outlining a giant plus. "On the other hand, it looks like the new kids are just as teenagery as the current ones. Which is a shame."

Big grin to show he was joking. Okay, fine, Kenzi improved his mood. A lot.

"Hurricanes, bah," Kenzi said, then climbed up on a stool to lean on the bar and start to reach over for more lemon slices for her drink. "I like the new kids! They're all shiny and scared! And sometimes awesome." She grinned back at Mr. Caffrey and asked, "Isn't that better than them being way genius and totally not needing your expertise?"

Re: The Bar [8/27] -- chronologically after Bo thread, please!

[charming_thief]

"Can't say I've ever met one of those," Neal teased her, sipping his scotch. "I did meet a seventeen-year-old who thinks I didn't notice those lemon slices are going in soda..."

"Duuude, bust my chops," Kenzi complained, hooking a thumb at Bo. "She's a bud, I don't want to get her busted with her scary boss," she whispered. "I can go to Caritas if I want real booze."

Re: The Bar [8/27]

Hey, pretty. If not an entirely new face; Bo remembered it from the previous picnic, which meant he wasn't new staff, but certainly eligible for the discount.

"Sure, sure, waste my research into giant mixed drinks by ordering straight scotch," Bo groused, but with a smile, as she made for the bottle in question.

Re: The Bar [8/27]

[charming_thief]

Ooh, grouchy. Which meant a challenge, if only just to flirt.

"Oh, yeah?" Neal asked, grinning slightly. "Any reccomendations you had in mind? I can always stick around for another."

Re: The Bar [8/27]

[nookiepowered]

"I once tried to convince somebody that a double appletini was the manliest drink he could ever order," Bo said thoughtfully. "It almost worked."

Re: The Bar [8/27]

[charming_thief]

"Hey, it doesn't count if he's from another universe," Neal laughed. "But if he's from around here, that's impressive."

Re: The Bar [8/27]

[nookiepowered]

"More or less normal 21st Century America, I think," Bo confirmed, placing Neal's scotch in front of him. Which just went to show you what she knew about the Batfamily, aka nothing.

"But after the first, he said it didn't matter how strong the booze was, it was still a girly drink, and he'd have a beer chaser, thanks."

The music was horrid and the lighting was garish, but it was hard to make an alehouse look like anything beyond the familiar thing that it was. Tyrion hoisted himself onto a stool with a relief that made the motion almost graceful.

"Two of the strongest thing you have for a new teacher," he requested. "This has been a day."

He noticed with some small pleasure that the serving wench was more than averagely attractive. Well, at least he'd have pleasant scenery to enjoy while he drank.

Re: The Bar [8/27]

[nookiepowered]

Bo's brief eyebrow-lift wasn't directly related to his height; more to the fact that she was making a mental note that they needed to get a few adjustable stools in.

"I think technically the strongest thing we have is Everclear, but I'm not sure if you want two of those," Bo answered, looking over her shoulder to eye the bottle. "That stuff could strip the leather off your boots." She had the feeling paint off your car wouldn't work here, unless the clothes were a Renfaire kind of thing.

Re: The Bar [8/27]

[halfman-lion.livejournal.com]

"And they're rather nice boots," Tyrion said, looking down to inspect his own toes. "All right. I'll start with one Everclear, until I see what it does to me."

Privately, he suspected it wouldn't do much -- he'd built up a fearsome tolerance -- but he was prepared to be pleasantly surprised.

"They let pink ponies teach here, did you know that?"

Re: The Bar [8/27]

[nookiepowered]

Bo had to glance over the counter to check out his boots. Because boots. She liked boots. "Not bad," she confirmed, then clarified, "The boots, not the pony. But yeah, I've seen her. I still haven't managed to talk to her, but I've seen her."

Re: The Bar [8/27]

[halfman-lion.livejournal.com]

"Oh, she's very friendly." Hours later, and Tyrion still sounded dazed. "She wanted to tell me about how her pet alligator rides her sometimes, and how she's teaching friendship, and -- there's a whole world full of talking equines. It's even worse than this place having an insane calendar and no servants."

He paused for breath, realizing he sounded a bit stroppish, and smiled. "My name is Tyrion Lannister, by the way. I'll likely be here a lot."

Re: The Bar [8/27]

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Guess where I'm going to be working!"

... not that she'd actually been hired, as yet. But now she had a plan.

Re: The Bar [8/27]

[nookiepowered]

Bo gave her the stinkeye. "If you tell me you convinced Eric to let you tend bar here, we're gonna have a talk about how drugging his TruBlood is not on."

Re: The Bar [8/27]

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Dude. I so should have thought of that first." SHe needed to step up her game, if she was going to keep ahead of Bo. "No! Caritas! They need the help. Also, I did great on Thursday. Also also, those zombies are scared of me now."

...or just sick of her poking at them to see if parts would fall off.

Re: The Bar [8/27]

[nookiepowered]

"Kenzi, don't terrorize the zombies." How? How was this her life? "How did that come out of my mouth so easily?"

Re: The Bar [8/27]

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"I dunno, you've got mad skillz?" Kenzi suggested, then grinned. "Oh, and I met Mitchell. Haaaawt." Bopping back to another topic, Kenzi said, "So you have to come by so we can drink together!"

The Dance Floor [8/27]

[nookiepowered]

Where the DJ seemed to be choosing music by title instead of danceability or actual content, because welcoming the newbies was all well and good, but who can boogie down to The Verve Pipe?

The VIP Area [8/27]

[nookiepowered]

Where your undead Viking host might or might not be holding court.
