Happy Hour...of the future!!!!

[gonna_live]

Once upon a time in the magical world of Milliways, Kaylee and Eddie Dean were having a conversation. Kaylee said wistfully that she'd always wanted to try bartending, only...mechanic, and lack of time. Well, says Eddie, How about you take a shift and see what it's like?

So. Cookies have been dropped off at the Dean residence as a way of saying thanks; the Black Books of Bartending Lore under Bar have been perused (on Eddie's advice), a few specials have been chalked up on the board:

Specials:

Wooly Mitten
Pink Cello
Tangerine Dream
New Canaan brandy

And Kaylee is leaning on Bar, looking eager and adorable. You know how it is. Sometimes you just want to duct-tape her mouth and drop her in the hold for a month.

"Hey, folks. Happy Hour's open. What'll you have?"

"You got it." There's a glass, and a bottle, and pouring.

It's a nice amber color. "That too bad?"

"Better than I was expecting, really."

She takes a drink.

"Much better."

"Shiny." Kaylee grins. "And -- sorry if it's a bit too...fruity for you, tonight. It's just this is my first shift ever, and there might not be another one, so...I kind of wanted to do what I was biased toward, you know?"

Hunter makes a vague noise of assent.

"This an audition?"

"Not so much, no -- we'd just had a talk about bartendin' and I'd mentioned that I'd have liked to try it and Eddie just said, well, why don't you? So here I am."

"You're certainly energetic enough. And the drinks aren't half bad."

She takes another swallow of brandy.

"Thanks." Beaming. "So, just out of curiosity -- what kinds of things you like, in terms of drinkin'? Just in case I ever do this again."

"Nothing with umbrellas."

She offers a one-shouldered shrug.

"Mostly beer and ale. Easy, and generally cheap."

"Fella I know likes drinkin' somethin' called Sam Adams -- might want to try that next time you're in."

"I'll keep it in mind."

She finishes off her brandy and sets the glass on the Bar.

[gonna_live]

"Anything else I can get for you?"

[caramel-colored.livejournal.com]

"No."

There is a pause.

"Thanks."

[gonna_live]

"Happy to. Any time." She beams. "You have a good night."

[caramel-colored.livejournal.com]

"I usually do."

She smirks, then turns and heads back to her booth.
