The Devil's Nest, Saturday, 11/12

When Bo had woken up today, she found a note by her bed that said Get to work early today to help Tiny with inventory. She didn't entirely remember writing it -- she must've been really tired last night -- but it was in her own handwriting, so it must be true. She had a job!

Which she even managed to find, after a few hours of exploring her room looking for an address. And cartoons. And Froot Loops. And more cartoons. And a walk through town that wouldn't have taken nearly as long, even for seven-year-old feet in blue and white Keds, if everything hadn't been so distracting. Five o'clock was still early, right?

That was what she asked Tiny when she got there. Bo thought Who the hell are you was a totally inappropriate reply, and not just because of the bad word.

"I'm Bo, silly. I'm here early to help you with the inventory. What are we gonna invent?"

Apparently they were going to invent drink specials. At least that was what Tiny said after he finished hitting his face with his hand.

Visitors would find the usual specials board replaced with one made of construction paper, glitter, rainbow stickers and smelly fruit markers. It had a lot of blank space for adding new stuff -- or more glitter, not that there was much left after the incident with Tiny's hair -- but it started like this:

Specials
Choclate bananana milk: 50 cents
Strawberry pinapple milk: 55 cents
Cherry milk shake with cherrys and cherry icecream and choclate and bananana: 75 cents
Piggieback Rides: 85 cents plus TIP

Help us with inventory! Make up a new drink, get it freeee!

***Choclate peenut butter milk shake inventoryed by RICHIE: 75 cents
***Lots of chocOlate and a cherry milk shake and NO BANANAS inventoryed by SUSAN: 75 cents
***Orange and strawberry and cimmonnin milk shake inventoryed by KENZI: 75 cents
***Strawberry blackberry milk shake inventoryed by TOBY: 75 cents
***Chocolate with some strawberry and bublegum and Rainbo Sprinkel milk shake inventoryed by GUY: 75 cents


She'd had to talk Tiny down from a dollar for the piggieback rides, which was just ridiculous.

[Open! Serving milk and fruit and chocolate concoctions of all sorts except the alcoholic kind.]

Susan started work here tomorrow, something she was still a bit unsure about. Today she came in because she wanted to see how things worked from the perspective of someone who might actually need to know... and there was a child at the bar.

"Did you make the sign?" Susan asked.

She was a bit taken aback by that, to be honest. Her hair had never been called that before, and she was more than a little glad that it didn't preen. "Thank you," she said. "Why are you behind the bar?"

This place was so much more funner than the orphanage. Nobody here was gonna make Richie do anything and nobody cared if he went wandering around. But the walk from the school to the town was LONG when you were only five-almost-six and he needed a rest. Or something sugary. Or both! And this place looked fun. Or like someplace Richie shouldn't be going. Same thing!

"Hi!" he greeted, climbing up on to a stool to sit.

"Hi Bo I'm Richie." He stuck out a hand for shaking. He liked shaking hands. And of course he wanted a milkshake. Milkshakes were AWESOME. "Can I have a chocolate one? With peanut butter?"

"Free!" That would be Kenzi, climbing up to beam at the bartender. "I want one that's free! With oranges and ice cream and strawberries and do you have any cinnamon?"

There had been something 'free' on the island. Kenzi had zeroed in like a fighter pilot.

"Yay!" Kenzi cheered, and leaned over the bar. "How come you get to work here, Bo Dennis, bartender?" The other girl looked younger, but she was taller. No fair. "I that your dad?"

Toby might've forgotten about his promise to feed everyone Kraft Dinner. Or... he might've been planning to do it later, after he finished exploring a bit since there was no one to tell him not to.

"What's this place?" he wondered, wandering in.

"How come you work here if you're a kid?" Toby wondered.

Kenzi was slurping down on her shake now, making yummy noises. "Fun place!"

"Anyplace with milkshakes is good," Toby had to agree, slurping on his own.

There clearly needed to be more than one ginger boy in the bar. Ginger power.

"Why are you behind there?"

"Nuh uh."

Kids didn't work in bars. Guy totally knew that.

Eric tore into the club like he owned the place (which, fortunately, he did) and made a beeline for the velvet ropes separating the VIP area from the rest of the club.

He then tried to wrestle the Very Terrifying Ropes, which were clearly just serpents in disguise!

It is better not to examine the mind of a seven-year-old boy too closely.

Eric rattled off a stream of ancient Norse trying to explain that, no, these were Very Dangerous Snakes and really, she should be thanking him for his bravery in acting so quickly.
