WHO: Tom Bronson + OPEN
WHERE: the bar
WHEN: all week
WARNINGS: none
SUMMARY: Tom now owns the bar, and everyone gets their first drink free for the first week.
FORMAT: quick



[It was Tom's first couple weeks running the bar, and, surprisingly, it had gone pretty well so far. The transition itself was a bit of a challenge, but once he'd become accustomed to it, it really wasn't so bad at all. In fact, he found himself even enjoying the work, even if it meant extra hours for the time being, since the promotion and port-outs lately meant that they were running a bit understaffed.

That wasn't why he was pulling other duties besides just managing the place, though. Working behind the bard was one of the best jobs he had, and he really enjoyed it. He got to talk to people at the bar (and occasionally have a drink or two himself). It was the social aspect that he liked, which was why, to maybe draw in a few new regular customers, he was offering free drinks for the week.]

Comments

why didn't you talk me out of this?

[i-seethestrals.livejournal.com]

you say that like i ever would.

[borntobewildcat]

[Okay, she definitely wasn't the type of person that he expected to ever show up in this bar, but it wasn't wholly unwelcome, except for the fact that she definitely didn't look twenty-one.

Still, he walked over to where she sat, and leaned against the bar.]

You don't seem like you're lost, but you're definitely a new face. Can I get you anything?

sob you're right i should've known.

[i-seethestrals.livejournal.com]

Hm? Oh, no, definitely not lost. I just enjoy wandering around the City and finding all sort of new sights. And this place seemed like the place to be. Do you ever get that feeling? Like you should be somewhere, even if you've never been there before?

Do you have any Gillywater?

[Laura hadn't been to the bar since she'd spoken to Selina, but now that Tom was running it her curiousity had returned, so she stepped inside quietly and looked around. Dressed in 'bar clothes' for a change, so a purple tank-top, black skirt, her fishnets and boots, at least she didn't stick out too badly, despite being young.]

[She considered the room for a long moment before she crossed it to the bar.]

[hellionated]

[Julian spots Laura almost as soon as he arrives. She's pretty easy for him to spot anyway, but dressed like that he was hardly gonna not notice. He hesitates for a minute, then goes up to lean on the bar beside her.]

Hey. You look nice.

[girlverine]

[Laura notices Julian a moment or two before he reaches her, mostly by scent, but she doesn't turn towards him until he's close enough to speak. She just nods faintly at his comment.]

Thank you.

[ridethetiger]

[Now, Ggio is no stranger to girls in bars, and Laura looks just like the kind he expects to show up. There's really no reason why he plants himself besides her besides to be nosy and a general pest.]

Hey, you don't look too excited to be here.

[borntobewildcat]

[Tom had spent most of his time at the bar, and, honestly, the last person that he'd expected to see here was Laura. Not that he wasn't happy about it, but drinking didn't do anything for her (unless Jessica was involved), so a bar just didn't seem obvious. Though, this was Wolverine's bar originally, and he did tell her that she could get whatever she needed here.]

Can I get you anything? [He leaned on the bar across from her, smiling pleasantly.]

[wind_dancer]

Hi Laura [Sofia comes to take a seat beside her with a smile] how are you?

[cosmic_ring_hero]

[Curtis has been hanging around after his shifts to help out as well. And that's what he's doing tonight. He's whistling a tune he heard on the radio as he cleans up the bar, frowning at a sticky spot caused by a spilled drink. He chuckles as he gets to cleaning the spot.]

I still can't believe I've held a job down for this long...

[borntobewildcat]

[Tom just laughs a little, working on washing out all the glasses from that night and wiping them clean.]

What, did you think you'd be fired or something?

[hellionated]

[Julian is here out of curiosity, mainly. He's even sticking closer to the law than usual and hasn't ordered anything alcoholic yet. He's doing his usual and finding a booth near the back to sit in, and for now just watches the crowd.]

[borntobewildcat]

[Even thought the bar was a bit far from the far back booths, it didn't take long for Tom to notice that Julian sneaked in and was sitting alone. He and Tom still weren't on the best terms, but after their sparring session, he wanted to think that maybe things were just a little more comfortable, and that hopefully booze could handle the rest.]

What do you like to drink? [He asks curiously as he walks over to Julian's table.]

[wind_dancer]

[Sofia spots Julian pretty quickly when she comes in, and pauses to order two cokes and brings them over. She slides into the booth opposite him and pushes one of the drinks across.

Today she is wearing a tunic dress and leggings]

Is this the new hang out place?

[thebadturtle]

[Look who is coming by! Yeah, everybody's favorite under age turtle.]

[ridethetiger]

[... Turtle, what? It's not often Ggio sees potential food just walk into a place.

Suddenly there is a shorty trailing way too close behind him with a Smilodon skull on his head.]

[borntobewildcat]

[Tom moves to his Raph's side of the bar.]

You know, I could kick you out, but... [He smiles and sets a large mug of beer down in front of Raphael.] I don't think anyone will be carding you anytime soon.

[hellionated]

[Guess who doesn't care if you're under age!]

Hey Raph, what's up?

[ridethetiger]

[This little arrancar is rather excited to be in the bar, which while not as rambunctious as a club, still provides a good atmosphere to keep him preoccupied while school's out, not to mention fed.

Between pestering Tom for a beer (just for the foam, which reminds him of mudslides), and occasionally making his way around the place gently insisting that those who have had too much should leave, he's seated at the far end of the bar. Just watching everyone and sometimes sitting with his eyes closed, and face turned upwards for some reason.]

[cosmic_ring_hero]

[Someone has been paying attention to the drinks Ggio's been getting. And that's why Curtis is setting a mug down in front of the arrancar that's mostly foam.]

Hey.

[He wanted to get along with Ggio for Tom's sake so he's trying.]

[borntobewildcat]

[The bar had just closed, and Tom was feeling a bit tired, but relieved, and feeling pretty good about how well the night went. He'd seen a good number of familiar faces, that hopefully would keep coming back.

Oh, and thankfully, for the moment, he was blissfully unaware that Ggio was snacking on the people.]

Pretty good night, don't you think?

[heroified.livejournal.com]

[A bar? Free drinks? Consider him there! Really, he's off looking for a job that might actually give him an income outside of prowling the streets at night for suspects.] Hey, is this your place?

[borntobewildcat]

[Tom didn't recognize this new guy, but he seemed nice enough, so he smiles and walks over to him.] Sure is. Can I get you anything?

[wind_dancer]

[Sofia wanders into the bar, she's spotted Laura and Julian, but she goes to the bar to get a drink first]

Hi, can I get a coke please?

[borntobewildcat]

No problem. [Tom smiles and sets a coke down on the bar.]

You're new around here, right? Aren't you one of Laura and Julian's friends?
