The Devil's Nest, Saturday, January 28th

[nookiepowered]

Bo was waaaay too smart to fall for the "Tiny drank it, therefore it's safe" trap this time. Or she would have been, if Tiny were actually here and trying it out on her.

Instead of Tiny, there was a woman looming beside the doorway who was incredibly tall, incredibly butch, and ... kind of cute in a terrifying way. There was a hand-lettered Hi, My Name Is sticker affixed to her impressively mountainous chest.

It said Tina.

It fooled no one.

Bo owed Tiny one or five, though, so she was keeping her mouth shut, enjoying the extra three inches of height her new boots afforded her, and finally filling out that damned OKStupid profile on her phone. For the LOLs.

"The first things people usually notice about me..."

Yeah, she looked down.

Then she looked across the bar.

"Depends. Is 'Tina' in the room?"

[Open like an open bar. Except for the part where the booze isn't free.]

The Bar [1/28]

[nookiepowered]

Where your bartender was not feeling inadequate, thank you very much. After all, hers wouldn't disappear on Monday.

"Havin' fun?" asked a redhead woman with sort of swagger that might have been familiar from someone with more testosterone in their system.

Re: The Bar [1/28]

[nookiepowered]

Familiar, yes, but not enough for Bo to identify beyond hmmmmm....

"So far." Bo grinned. "Of course, playing guess-who-this-lady-is-when-she's-a-dude is a little easier when the only one around is Tiny."

Hercules leaned over with a grin on her face.

"May I buy a lady a drink?" she said, thinking this was possibly the best Saturday ever.

Re: The Bar [1/28]

Hercules hadn't gone for subtle.

Wearing the old outfit - Sash, Sandals, and Skirt - had seemed the most appropriate after waking up... how she woke up. The sash managed to keep the legally required amount of modesty, at least. But there was a lot of skin on display.

...which of course meant Hercules was shivering as she sat down at the bar.

"I maybe did not think all of this through," she said, teeth chattering.

Re: The Bar [1/28]

[nookiepowered]

Pardon Bo while she enjoyed the lack of subtlety. "Possibly not the warmest outfit for January on the east coast," she semi-agreed. "But it has its charms..."

"Beer me," Jake demanded, sliding on to a bar stool. Hellos were for people who hadn't woken up with parts they didn't usually have today.

"Relax!" Hercules greeted, raising her own drink in a half-toast. "Enjoy the scenery. Enjoy the gift our island has given!"

Re: The Bar [1/28]

[nookiepowered]

"The Newfie accent isn't doing you any favors in the guess-which-dude-I-am contest."

Hellos were for people who never tried to make her kiss a fish. Also for people who didn't look like Jake looked right now, unless he wanted five o's and a 'Nurse' added to the end of the greeting.

Tyrion felt completely adequate as a woman, though he was a bit sad that now he needed to look down to talk to Bo's chest.

... it was the first thing he noticed.

"Red wine, please," he said, more or less to her face. "And the guard makes a terrifying woman."

Re: The Bar [1/28]

"Oh, I don't know, I'd say you leave me weak in the knees, too!" Hercules greeted with a grin. "Though perhaps that's not quite the same thing."

Re: The Bar [1/28]

[nookiepowered]

"Shh," said Bo, filling a glass with claret. "We're pretending that's his sister, because he's terrifying and because he can change the light bulbs without getting a ladder."

Completely lost on guessing who this one was. The language might have been a good hint if not for the height.

Zinzi walked in, then looked around to see if she'd missed some kind of "ladies only" sign.

Sloth, back in his customary place hanging on to her shoulders like a backpack, grumbled in her ear.

"Hush, baby. Just getting the lay of the land."

"Did you bring a pet to a bar?" Guy asked, clutching his beer like it was his lifeline. Look, he'd been a chick before and still wasn't okay with this.

Re: The Bar [1/28]

[nookiepowered]

That would be a head-tilt of massive proportions on Bo's part. "Is that a---" Why did she even try starting the sentence out that way, when she had no damn clue and she knew it? "What is that? Please don't say it's a student, because I'm not allowed to serve it booze if it is, and it would totally deserve a drink."

Jono had decided tonight that he needed alcohol. And he needed it from a place that was slightly less likely to be crawling with a bunch of people that he'd once thought of as his peers, because if some of them saw him like this, he'd be booking a portal out of here within an hour of his humiliation.

Or something.

"Something hard," he requested, trying like hell to refrain from just crawling under the bar to die. "Maybe two of something hard. I've had enough 'soft and supple' for one day, I think."

Hayley had a pout on her face as she rubbed idly at the big old X on the back of her hand. Stupid not quite being 21.

When she saw Jono, she had to walk over and say something.

"You wouldn't happen to have a brother in town, would you?" she asked, earnestly.

Re: The Bar [1/28]

[nookiepowered]

Oh, like Bo could resist a straight-line (if you'll pardon the irony) like that. "Sorry to hear that, since it's all I've got. Can't disagree with the sentiment, though. Jameson on the rocks minus the rocks?"

After getting thoroughly mocked by Pam and Jaina, Eric needed a drink.

He slanted a glanced at 'Tina', then asked for a glass of synthetic blood.

As you do.

With a shot of vodka.

Because it'd been a long night already.

"On one hand, you're not putting up much of a challenge for the guessing game," Bo said, reaching for a bottle of TruBlood. "On the other, I guess knowing which if the hot girls is your boss could be an advantage if you're the kind of bartender who wouldn't tease him anyway."

Guess what kind of bartender Bo was?

Re: The Bar [1/28]

Jon was happy to go to the bar, because he could, not because he was a girl today. Hell, he'd even dressed up a bit for it.

"Rum and coke, please."

The Dance Floor [1/28]

[nookiepowered]

Where fine, your bartender may have bribed your DJ into playing Brick House and Baby Got Back among others of a similar nature, but in her defense, she actually liked those songs.

The VIP Area [1/28]

[nookiepowered]

Where... God only knows.

Re: The VIP Area [1/28]

[texted3times]

...there was a statuesque Swedish woman looking really irritated with the world?

Eric glared at his phone as he took a picture, then sent it to Pam, Sookie and Jaina.

Laugh it up. I hate this island.

The OOC [1/28]

[nookiepowered]

Where MP has a fish sammich and cider.
