Devil's Nest, Tuesday

[icecoldfrost]

The DJ had decided that today was Dupstep Night.

It was entirely possible that Emma was debating the pros-and-cons of killing him with her brain. There was even a list, and yes, the PRO column had more entries in it at the moment. In fact, Emma hadn't found a downside at all... she'd probably come up with one eventually.

The Devil's Nest was open, Tiny is serving, and hostess is contemplating making the DJ think he's a rabbit.

The Bar

[icecoldfrost]

Where Tiny is pretending to be King of his Castle, at least until Emma decides to pop his ego again.

"Tell me a story, darling," Jack requested, as he took a barstool near Emma's work station. "It feels like a day for one."

Re: The Bar

[icecoldfrost]

"Once upon a time, there was a magical princess named Emma, who was the fairest in the land," she rattled off, since that was clearly how all stories started. "But all was not well, for the dreaded Dee Jay the Cacophonous was terrorizing her people, and forcing Princess Emma to act in a decisive and potentially bloody manner."

Re: The Bar

[bitten_notshy]

"And then the handsome Sir Jack of Lycanthropia came riding up on a white horse," Jack returned easily. "And offered to challenge the Cacophanous to a duel to protect the honor -- and eardrums -- of the fair princess."

Re: The Bar

[icecoldfrost]

"Huzzah," she deadpanned, twirling a finger in the air. "Can the princess get anything for her shining knight in gratitude for enforcing her will upon the populace?"

[bitten_notshy]

"Only a kiss, isn't that how it works?" Jack said airily, before dropping into the world of the practical. "-- and a cranberry juice, please. Do you want me to talk to the DJ for real?"

"Hello, Mr. Priest," Kate greeted him with a little wave of her hand. "Fancy meeting you here."

Re: The Bar

[bitten_notshy]

Jack grinned over at her. "It's not even my shift," he said. "So it must be fate."

Fate or Emma. Same thing.

"How are you? How are the friendly skies?"

Re: The Bar

[vanillajello]

"Less than friendly," she replied, gesturing down at her full flight attendant uniform. "Engine trouble. I'm actually on the way home from tulsa via Portalocity."

Re: The Bar

[bitten_notshy]

Jack made a face. "That sounds fun. I hope Portalocity won't strand you again."

Re: The Bar

[vanillajello]

Kate was still in her SkyKans uniform as she showed up. Long story involving Tulsa, a dodgy engine, and Portalocity being completely stupid about in-universe portaling where she was from.

"Emma, daaarling. Give me a green apple soda."

Re: The Bar

[icecoldfrost]

"A soda I can manage," Emma quipped, getting one out and even adding one of the funny twisty straws to it for Kate. "What's a pretty girl like you doing in a bar like mine?"

Re: The Bar

[vanillajello]

"Taking the way long way home," Kate sighed, nodding down at her choice of attire. "Work stranded me in Tulsa, Portalocity refused to take me the itty bitty way straight home to KCMO. So here I am, taking a detour."

Re: The Bar

[icecoldfrost]

"Because Portalocity can't do anything the easy way," Emma agreed. "At least you landed here, instead of Fandom twenty years in the future where all those alternate-timeline children come from?"

"Hey, Tiny, beer me," Kaidan said, because that was his usual opening line around here. "And hey, Emma."

This was him trying to be upbeat.

Re: The Bar

[icecoldfrost]

"Tiny, give him the good beer," Emma said, not even needing to look over to boss him around. "We do not feed my housemates the American beer-water."

Tiny slid a Moosehead down the bar to Kaidan - heh. Moosehead. - possibly because he felt bad the man lived with the Evil Blonde Terror.

"You're visiting me at work!" Emma was fairly preening at the company today, yes. "Do you want any of our wide assortment of bar food to go with that?"

Re: The Bar

[not_a_whiner]

"No, I'm--"

Starving, actually. Stupid biotic metabolism. "...You know what, get me a little of everything," Kaidan amended. "Sorry. Been a week."

Re: The Bar

[icecoldfrost]

"You're usually starving, what makes this week any different from any other?" Emma teased, pouring a bowl of pretzels for him to start while she ordered him everything on their bar-food menu. "You eat almost as much as a mutant."

A man dressed like a bat walked into a bar. He said to the bartender, "I'll have a water." The bartender gave it to him. Despite the glass of water not costing anything, it was possible that he wanted a tip. The look on the Batman's face said, 'Don't push your look. That's the best tip you'll ever get.'

Nobody laughed because that was all in the narrative. The key point is that Batman was at the bar, nursing a glass of water.

Re: The Bar

[icecoldfrost]

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. Usually the clientele either took off their gear after 'patroling' or whatever, or this guy thought it was a theme night.

"Can Tiny get you anything else?" Emma asked, tapping her fingers on the bar. "Or are you taking advantage of our 'do one brood, get the next brood free' special?"

Hint: There was no special. Emma just didn't like people who sat around and didn't pay.

Re: The Bar

[amthenight.livejournal.com]

Batman pulled twenty dollars out of his belt and put it on the bar. Yes, he came prepared in case anyone actually made a point to bother him about not paying. Derek hadn't figured that one out last time he was here.

"I'm fine," Batman said. "Just enjoying the ambiance." He sounded like he meant it, too. Really, he did.

Re: The Bar

[icecoldfrost]

Yes, well, Derek had a wolfy-brain, and Emma had a money-oriented one. And since their guest hadn't actually bought anything, besides peace and quiet from Emma - or as peaceful as she ever managed - his money was going right in her pocket.

"I wouldn't peg you as a dupstep fan, so it can't be the music," she replied, although she was nice enough to slide a bowl of bar pretzels down his way. "I'll just take it as a compliment for the scenery." Namely, her.
