Devil's Nest | Thursday Evening

Buffy was doing a bit of late spring cleaning at the bar. Some of the cheaper liquor nobody used had gathered quite a bit of dust. It was really gross, actually.

"Can a guy get a drink around here?" Sam asked, sounding pretty amicable about it.

"That's the idea of a bar," Buffy said, shaking off a dusty rag. "What can I get you?"

"A beer. I'm thinking... something domestic." Yeah, Sam was putting faith in his bartender.

"You're better off just telling me a name." 'Cause Buffy still didn't know the difference.

That got a laugh out of him. Possibly because he thought she was being a funny bartender. God love him.

"Miller is fine."

"Oh good, I know what that looks like," she said, going for the bottle. "You got lucky there."

"You not get many beer orders here?"

It was an oddly fancy bar. With a dance floor. And a VIP area. What was up with that?

"We don't get many orders at all here," Buffy said, placing the bottle on the bar. Too bad if you wanted a draft. Too bad. "You're interrupting my magazine reading time."

"I can go if you want," Sam offered playfully.

"Be a waste of a beer," she said with a small smile. "You new here?"

[identity profile] onyourright.livejournal.com 2014-05-09 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
"New enough," Sam admitted, offering a hand to shake. "Name's Sam."

"Buffy," she said, shaking the offered hand. "What brings you to town?"

"Got a job and an apartment that was basically free." He was beginning to notice the catch, though. Oh, was he ever.

"Yeah, I got a house in somewhat the same manner," Buffy said, shaking her head at herself. "Probably should have known better."

[identity profile] onyourright.livejournal.com 2014-05-09 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
"You too? You'd think people would have warned about this."

[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com 2014-05-09 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
"No, it was my fault. I should have known I couldn't escape weirdness," Buffy said. "This place is relaxing compared to my old town."

That got Sam to blink. "Well, damn. Where are you from? Detroit?"

[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com 2014-05-09 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Sunnydale. It's in California." Though Detroit had a hellmouth too. "Vampire central. Ironic considering the word 'sunny' is in there."

"Vampires now?" C'MON. GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACIES WERE MORE HIS SPEED.

"Yep," she said with a nod. "Didn't get to the part of your Fandom education yet?"

"It's definitely a new one," Sam admitted. "We talking Dracula style or glittery style?"

[identity profile] abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com 2014-05-09 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Dracula style," she answered. "I've actually met Dracula before."

[identity profile] onyourright.livejournal.com 2014-05-09 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Damn. I was hoping for glittery."

They seemed way easier to deal with. What with the glittering and all.

"And why's that?" she asked. "Don't tell me you're a fan."
