Devil's Nest [Friday evening]

[texted3times]

It was a slightly subdued Eric who opened the Devil's Nest tonight.

In honor of the weekend, there were two new signs on the door:

YOUR CHILD IS GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL AND THAT MAKES YOU OLD.
HALF PRICE DRINKS IF YOU'RE HERE FOR THE CEREMONY

and

GRADUATES: NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR MEANINGLESS EXISTANCES AFTER TOMORROW? THE DEVIL'S NEST IS HIRING. SEE ERIC NORTHMAN FOR MORE INFORMATION

The DJ was playing the greatest hits of the 90s, and Eric was hiding in the back of the VIP section.

Drink!

If you're old enough.

Well, Scott survived a semester of teaching. Nobody contacted him. Nobody tried to kill him. And he wasn't spending every night in a drunken stupor to deal with all of his issues anymore. Really, all he had to do was make it through graduation tomorrow and it would be considered a completely successful semester.

And so he was going to celebrate with drinks. It was happy drinking, not depressive drinking! He had come so far.

Scott was in town for Bobby's graduation a day early. Since he had some time to kill and I think I'm so damn hilarious, he took a tour around the town to see how things had changed since the last time he visited Bobby here. Also, to scope out potential strategic positions to use in case of trouble.

Look, that was just the kind of thing Scott did. Best to accept it.

Scott looked at the other guy at the bar.

Then to his glass. Nope, still mostly full. And it was his first drink. That might be changing soon.

"Excuse me," he said.

"Can I help..." Scott started to say before seeing who was talking to him.

"Oh. I swear, this happens every time I'm here."

Re: Drink!

"Well, as long as this isn't weird for one of us..." Scott said. Then he took a swig of his drink.

Bobby was here because... he still lived in Fandom, for a few months anyway. More specifically, he was at the Devil's Nest because Scott had called to let him know he was in town and checking out some of the local establishments.

Oooh, two Scotts. He loved when this happened.

Re: Drink!

"Hey, Bobby. You didn't warn me there was another me around again," Scott said.

Re: Drink!

[longislandiceme]

"No, I did not," Bobby said, without an ounce of contrition. "Because it's funnier when at least one of you is surprised."

Re: Drink!

[eyepunchbeams.livejournal.com]

"You would think so," Scott said. "But one's all you're getting this time. I knew it was a possibility."

God, Scott. Such a semi-killjoy.

Ben was not, as Tiny pointed out in no uncertain terms, old enough to drink. He contented himself with a fizzy soda and waited for his visitors to arrive.

And really, really wished he could drink here.

Re: Drink!

[longislandiceme]

Bobby was drinking a non-alcoholic carbonated drink of his own and watching the Scott vs Scott conversation with some amusement.

"You look super-excited," he noted to Ben.

Re: Drink!

[momslilassassin]

"My dad's in town with his evil Sith--" Ben paused, trying to think how to describe it "--hostage? I don't know if she's that any more. She's been around for almost a year."

Re: Drink!

[longislandiceme]

"Ohhh," Bobby nodded, not entirely unfamiliar with that scenario. The X-Men tended to pick up new members (not all of them entirely willing) with disturbing regularity. "Kinda she-grows-on-you-like-a-fungus sort of thing?"

And once again she was back in this town. Vestara had to admit that at least it was better than some other places they'd been to lately. Possibly all of them.

She hadn't expected this sort of setting, though, and even as she headed towards the red hair at the bar she was keeping an eye out for her surroundings. "This can't be where you spend your time."

Re: Drink!

[momslilassassin]

"Oh, I'm here all the time," Ben lied. "Can't get enough of the local music."

Currently: Nirvana.

"Of course, how could I be so silly. It just screams 'Ben,'" she said, but there was a hint of a smile at the end of it. "Why here?"

Re: Drink!

Luke arrived, noticed that Vestara and Ben had already paired off to talk and headed for the opposite end of the bar. He ordered a hot chocolate, then added mint when he saw the bartender's expression.

The mint didn't really change the bartender's expression, but at least the drink would be tasty.

Luke stared, rubbed his eyes, and stared again.

Your eyes can deceive you, don't trust them.

Obi-Wan was less useful in quote form when you were running into...yourself.

"At least I kept all of my hair."

Re: Drink!

[notsoreckless.livejournal.com]

By the stars, had he ever been so young?

Luke rubbed his the bridge of his nose. "You must be Anakin's son."

Re: Drink!

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"And you aren't?" Luke asked, arching up an eyebrow. "That'd be different."

Re: Drink!

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke was more excited than he wanted to admit about trying a new place in Fandom: when he drank--and it was a rare thing--he'd normally gone to Caritas.

This place, he noted with a bit of approval, was decidedly zombie-free.

Dance!

[texted3times]

If you want to.

Vampire!

[texted3times]

Yes, he's here too.

OOC

[texted3times]

Look, I remembered to put this up early today! *proud*
