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

[girlverine]

[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.

[hellionated]

[He gives her a little smile.]

Can I get you a drink?

[girlverine]

[Laura considers him for a moment or two and then nods.]

A soda.

[hellionated]

[Julian smiles and orders cokes for them both. See, he's capable of behaving.]

I'm kinda surprised you're here. [No he isn't cause it's Tom's bar but whatever. The premise is still true.] I didn't think bars were so much your scene.

[girlverine]

They aren't.

[She shifts faintly, considering how to answer.]

The bar belonged to Logan. And I told Tom I would come and visit him.

[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.

[girlverine]

[Laura blinked at the kid on the stool next to her for a couple seconds before she answered, her head tilted slightly to the side.]

I don't come to bars very often. I told Tom I would visit since he is running it now.

[ridethetiger]

You know Tom.

[For once, it's just a statement, instead of a question or accusation. Ggio eyes Laura, the just... leans in and takes a big whiff of her.]

[girlverine]

Yes.

[She just watches him when he sniffs her, and while it would bother most people, it doesn't bother her yet. Her own sense of smell functions similarly, of course...if probably more effectively. But her eyes narrow faintly.]

[ridethetiger]

[He mostly just wants to make her uncomfortable, especially with her body language not giving much away, which bothers Ggio. He pulls back with a faint growl, and snorts as he leans on the bar.]

Well, don't just stand there. Drink something.

[girlverine]

[Laura shifts faintly to look back at the bottles behind the bar, then turns to Ggio again.]

Why?

[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.]

[girlverine]

[Laura was just absently watching Tom work until he approached her, sitting up straight on her barstool. She nodded when he reached her, and considered the question.]

Yes.

[She decided to leave the drink up to him.]

[borntobewildcat]

[He grins and turns back to the bar, thinking of what to make her before finally placing a whiskey sour down in front of her.]

Selina told me that Logan liked hard liquor. Not that I think it means you would too, but... I don't know. [He shrugs.] If you don't like it, I could mix something more to your tastes.

[girlverine]

[Laura picks up the glass and sniffs at it.]

Logan drinks as much as he can in order to try and get drunk. It doesn't work.

[Still, after a few seconds, she takes a long sip of the drink and winces faintly.]

[borntobewildcat]

Well, if he knows he can't get drunk, he should at least like the taste. Otherwise it's just going to pointless, right?

[He frowns just a little as she winces.]

You don't like it... Okay, I can fix this. I'll make something else. [He starts grabbing various bottles, setting down others, picking up even more.] What kind of flavors do you like? Sweet, salty, citrus... anything?

[girlverine]

I don't know. I have never asked why he drinks.

[She sets the glass down and watches him as he gets things out, considering.]

Sweet.

[wind_dancer]

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

[girlverine]

Sofia.

[Laura nodded her head to the other girl and shifted faintly on her stool to face her.]

I'm fine. Yourself?

[wind_dancer]

I'm great, I've been looking around the city.


Have you ever gone dancing?

[girlverine]

Good. It's important to know where you are.

...No. Why?

[wind_dancer]

Do you want to come dancing? I've found a dance hall to go to one night?

[girlverine]

[Laura seemed to think about it for a moment or two.]

If you wish.
