The Devil's Nest, Saturday, May 12

"Okay, I can accept the Blue CuraƧao for Really Strong Guy Who Can Fly because it's the same color as his suit, and the extra-sour Lemon Drops for Bitterwoman, but Ratnipples?"

Tiny just crossed his arms and stared pointedly at the raisin-flavored rum.

Bo crossed her arms right back. Under her breasts because she was not stupid. All advantages should be used, especially in a situation this serious. (Except for the one where she could win this argument boobs down if she used her powers on him, but that would be cheating.) "No. I don't care if George Clooney was in it. There are some adaptations we don't acknowledge exist."

Bo was pleased to see it took Tiny at least twenty seconds to tear his gaze away from her neckline and point to the layered Bailey's-and-Creme de Cacao drink she'd labeled Ferretwoman's Tail.

"The Eartha Kitt one, not the Halle Berry one. Please."

Superhero-Themed Shooters:
$3.50 each or 4 for $12.00.

"Dare I ask about the drink specials?" Holmes asked, slipping easily into one of the seats at the bar.

Holmes would... take that as a compliment. Of sorts.

"I should certainly hope not," Holmes replied promptly, hand on the bar and fingers tapping as his attention darted all over the room like a child in desperate need of medication.

Holmes nodded along as though he understood all of the references she was making. He'd have to look on Wikipedia when he returned home. It was terribly helpful to bounce from topic to topic as was his wont.

He smiled at her, leaning against the bar. "One, please. I will leave the choice of which up to the bartender."

"Don't know about you, but I believe that if a drink requires an explanation beyond its contents then it's either not worth drinking or you're going to wake up tomorrow without a memory of the night before," Trick noted quietly from his perch by the bar.

"Both of which are possible," Holmes granted him with a glance out of the corner of his eye. "And both highly likely here. If I fall down from it, I ask that you not rifle through my pockets."

"I'll try to avoid such a tempting prospect," Trick said dryly. "But only because you asked."

Honestly now, Holmes. Did Trick look the pickpocket type?

...Though he was at an excellent height for it.

So, an orang-utan walked into a bar...stop me if you've heard this one...

Actually, the Librarian was a little surprised it had taken him this long to get to one of the bars in town, but spending time traversing the L-space between Fandom High and the Unseen University could take a lot out of an ape. It was for that reason that he felt more inclined to step into the quieter dives of this island rather than the Mended Drum back home, even if they did know and love them there, as much as one could love in a place where a good night was one where only three punches were thrown at you.

He knuckled his way over to the bar, climbed on up on the stool, and perched himself there with a thumping of his big leathery hand on the bar and an order of, "Ook ook."

It really didn't help that the Librarian kept entering the island through Special Collections and mostly staying in the Library the whole time, either.

The lady posed a very good question, though, and he rubbed his chin thoughtfully for a few moments before nodding and giving a very decisive, "Ook."

See, Trick told himself. This is what comes of being a snob and going home to drink. Had you just decided to socialize on the island, you would have known about a...succubus...on the island.

Succubus. Yes. He wasn't quite ready to focus on what other facets of Bo's identity. That one was enough.

It might have taken Trick a few moments to nerve himself up to walking into the bar, but when he did, it was with a calm demeanor and pleasant expression. Trick was used to playing a role and not showing his true feelings. Sure, pretending Bo was a stranger might have been as hard as playing a simple barkeep for the past...however many centuries, but he could do it.

"Evening," he said, settling down at the bar. "I'll have a--" He almost said Ratnipples, but NO ONE could be that distracted. "A mead, if you have one?"

"Now I have to try the Viking mead," Trick said with a chuckle. "There's more to a man's stamina than his height."

Wait. That sounded like he was hitting on--no no no bad thought! Bad thought!

Quickly, he added, "And if I'm wrong about my tolerance, I'll at least be easy to carry out and toss into a rickshaw?"

It took Yakko all of two seconds after entering the building to spot the bartender. It took significantly less time than that to end up leaning on the bar and say hi with a "HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, NURSE! I'll have my heart stolen by a pretty bartender, please."

He was playing it cool.

"That depends. Can you do that thing where you tie the stem in a knot? Rawr," Yakko said.

Well played.
