Devil's Nest [Tuesday, November 8]

So...turned out that when Jack turned the clock back, he'd also turned the clock off.

At least he thought he was on time to work?

He also thought it was Monday, so Jack was perhaps not the most reliable narrator.

The Devil's Nest was open. And confused.

"Those both sounds like terrible options," Susan decided. "Surprise me."

Jack frowned and then poured half of each into a glass. "Fizzy and purple!" he declared. "On the house, too, in case it's wretched."

It wasn't his money. He could afford to be generous.

"I'm sure your supervisor appreciates you for everything you just said," she told him, eyeing the glass. Just because it made a pretty color, it didn't mean anything good.

"He encourages creativity," Jack lied cheerfully.

"And free drinks?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"On occasion," Jack declared.

"That doesn't sound like good business practice to me." She had no idea what good business practice was, but that certainly wouldn't stop her from talking about it.

"He won't let me drink on the job," Jack complained.

And that was a good business practice. They'd be out of rum in a month.

"Good. You're working," she said sensibly.

She was of course taking a sip of her drink, though.

"Pouring drinks isn't exactly difficult," Jack replied. "Generally, I captain a ship."

Beat.

"Or run a radio station."

"I would also hope you're not drinking on the job for at least one of those, either," she said.

There was a loooooong pause.

"It's medicinal?"

"Are you asking me or telling me?"

Some people were just meant to be teachers someday.

No, Jack. Incorrect.

Susan just shook her head at him to get that very thing across.

Jack was pretty sure the expression on her face was just how women looked at him, so he shrugged it off.

"How's the drink?"

Re: The Bar!

She sipped it again to be sure of what her opinion on this was exactly. "Strange. It takes a bit like pink and blue mixed together somehow."

"I don't know if I've ever tasted...blue," Jack pondered.

Re: The Bar!

[identity profile] inaskinnyway.livejournal.com 2011-11-09 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Can you imagine what blue might taste like?" she asked.

Jack gave the question some serious consideration before nodding. "I believe I can."

"It's like that, but fizzy," she said.

"Interesting," Jack said. "I believe I'll stick to rum."

Be shocked to hear that, Susan.

"I am shocked to hear that," said Susan in the voice of someone who was totally judging.

"And one who works in a pub," Susan conceded, though she realized as she said it that the word 'pub' didn't exactly fit here.
