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

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?"

"Though it can certainly make one feel more important, when necessary." He replied, jovially.

"So you have been to China?" He asked, now intensely curious.

Kaylee shakes her head. "Nope. We're a long way ahead from what used to be China."

"In what way?" He asked, tilting his head a little. Unlike most men, Santino's eyes tended to focus on those he was talking to, rather than stare at her anatomy. Of course he could see it, though there was no need to stare.

"Well...'s 2519, where I am, and...we've been away from Earth-that-Was for...a couple hundred years by now."

Santino's eyes went wiiiiide.

"Truly?"
gonna_live: (shiny yes indeed)

Cheerfully: "If I'm lyin', I'm dyin'."

Santino laughed a little. What? It's cute.

"Incredible- that far into the future?" Wait a second. "Why 'Earth-that-was'? Is it no longer Earth?"

"Nope." Still cheerfully. "We struck out a couple hundred years ago -- too many people for the world. And we found a bunch of new planets, and set 'em up, and...that's where we are."

"And you haven't found your way back?" He asked, breathlessly amazed.

"We...wouldn't really want to. There's not really anything there that's of use, or that people can live off of."

[identity profile] oldromansaint.livejournal.com 2006-02-02 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
"That's true." He looked perhaps a little sad at the idea. "And to think we began there."
gonna_live: (shy and pleased)

Kaylee's silent; it's always a little weird telling people what happens like this. A little awkward, too.

She picks up a rag and begins to wipe down Bar.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to make you awkward." He said, brightening again.

"So you are from another world?"

"Little place nowhere close to anything. Called Three Hills."

"It certainly has a good name, if nothing else." Santino offered, smiling.
