The Devil's Nest [Friday night]

[texted3times]

It was cold, dark, and threatening to snow, which was Eric's favorite kind of weather, which was why he was in an excellent mood as he wandered down to the Devil's Nest to make sure Tiny was manning the bar to his satisfaction.

The new DJ (it was always a new DJ) looked panicked as Eric came in, stammering something about equipment malfunctions and how very sorry he was before fleeing into the night, leaving the bar listening to "If You Like Piña Coladas" --and only that song--at a volume that was just too loud to be ignorable.

"If you make piña coladas a special tonight, I will snap your neck," Eric told Tiny flatly before disappearing to his normal seat in the VIP area.

The Devil's Nest was open. And verrrrry tired of walks in the rain already.

Mod Tiny for drinks!

Not piña coladas.

[sith_happened]

Anakin had decided to stop someplace for a drink before heading home as a way to avoid ridiculous Friday night traffic.

Ten loops of the song about piña coladas and he was regretting more than a few of his life choices.

He sent a text to his relatives via the comm: Have discovered song more annoying than 'Dance, Dance, Little Ewok.' Who knew?

"I can break the sound system," Jaina said.

She was fairly sure Eric wouldn't kill her for it.

Atton had managed to make it back here early for the weekend - for once.

It had been another long week.

"Surprise me," he told Tiny. "Something with grape juice, why not?"

It was always good to scope out the competition's skills.

"You're daring to put your drink in his hands like that?" Sia greeted him.

Re: The Bar

[solo_sword]

Somewhere along the line (probably somewhere around when she had two kids at once), Jaina had learned to appreciate a weekend off (where she'd still be working and checking news from home). So she was totally fine having a night off here.

"I hate that I want a pina colada now," she sighed.

Re: The Bar

[momslilassassin]

"I hate that I do too," Ben said, smiling. "Do you think it would come with a plastic sword?"

Sabine barely knew what this was about, and she couldn't even drink here. Not that she probably would want to, anyway. She got a Coke and stood off to the side a bit, paying attention to who she didn't already know.

Re: The Bar

[unusual_sith]

Lana had her Coke, too. And hey, a familiar face!

"This whole drinking age thing is bizarre."

Hi, Sabine.

Re: The Bar

[chirpchirpchirp]

So, Vette was leaning in close and offering up in a stage-whisper, "Why are we even here?"

Because she wasn't completely sure, herself. It seemed like it was all old humans who probably had lightsabers in their pants or whatever, and her, and Sabine, and Lana, and Hera, who was neither old nor human and so Vette decided she got to count as 'cool' by default.

Re: The Bar

[notconflicted]

Sia has been planning to have to skip this until a couple days ago, but she was glad to actually be able to be here.

And maybe she was wondering what the etiquette was when she knew the owner of this place now.

[shutupandkillsomething]

"Hey," Cade said laconically, waving with two fingers like a moron totally cool guy, okay.

Re: The Bar

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan wasn't going to miss this. Mostly because... he wasn't, okay? Though his lightsaber was in pieces on his belt and he was considering his options at the bar before just kind of sighing and ordering a Coke.

And sending it back to get it without rum. Twice.

Re: The Bar

[solo_sword]

"Fancy meeting you at one of these," Jaina greeted him.

Re: The Bar

[shutupandkillsomething]

Cade got himself some sort of vaguely horrifying lager (and put it on Anakin's tab, and wouldn't that be hilarious when Anakin noticed), then settled in against the bar to notice the new people.

Hopefully none of the cute ones were related to him in some way.

Re: The Bar

[chirpchirpchirp]

So... Vette knew almost nobody here, and was fairly bemused about getting an invitation at all. But she did know two things: First, that drinking age limits were stupid. And second? That she really wanted to put a few blaster bolts through the stereo system.

"I hate it," she announced to nobody in particular. "Great."

Re: The Bar

[endsthegame]

The last year had been... busy, and Ender hadn't actually thought about Fandom Island very much. The invitation to come here had been the first moment he'd stopped and considered revisiting at all.

So he and Ben had come to go see his family. They'd left Nat and Val with a babysitter, and now he was here, sitting at the bar, quietly nursing a glass of milk. This was Ben's family; he was just here to support him.

Re: The Bar

[tatooine_doofus]

Luke legitimately looked forward to these evenings--it was a time to catch up with his family, meet interesting people from another time in the galaxy and learn about how their Jedi were trained.

So, like a networking event!

He glanced around for familiar faces first, though.

Re: The Bar

[biotic_psychotic]

Oh look the other bar was open. Jack went in and headed to the bar. Not really paying attention to the music except to notice that it didn't really fit the theme. The lyrics caught up to her when she was choosing what alcohol she wanted.

"...the fuck?" she asked, squinting at a speaker, "You and your lady are bored and neither of you has the balls to have the 'hey sweetheart let's spice things up' conversation like a goddamn adult? I hope she divorces your ass and takes all your shit."

Whiskey wasn't going to cut it.

"What've you got for gutrot vodka?" she asked.

If you´re not into yoga, if you have half a brain..

She snorted loudly. "If she has half a brain she's half up on you, you slimy cretinous fuckwaffle, and you're shooting out of your league."

"... Make that a double of whatever." A beat. "No. Triple. Shit, just give me a tumbler. Would anyone care if the sound system just sort of exploded?"

At least she'd asked first.

Re: The Bar

[okteiviakom]

Octavia didn't know what the crowd here was for. She just knew it made it easier to slip in and not draw that much attention to herself. She'd been to Caritas before, but she'd never been here, and on a restless night like the one she was having, it seemed like as good a time as any. Besides, she felt like having a beer.

Except:

"... No, of course I don't have ID. What do I need it for?"

Someone was about to get familiar with present-day laws about drinking.

Re: The Bar

[weetuskenraider]

Who knew what had prompted Tahiri to make a visit? Maybe it was the very concentrated Force presence on the island.

In any case she was at the bar, her hair still matted from hours in a flight helmet, but looking fairly relaxed and cheerful and not sorry she'd come at all.

Re: The Bar

[unusual_sith]

Lana...was not entirely sure why she was here, but on the other hand, why not?

Re: The Bar

[futurespacemom]

All these people from their own galaxy, and why were so many still human?

Hera was just going to get a Coke and hang around Kanan for a bit.
