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?"

"Not a whole lot, actually."

She blushes and swirls what is left of the liquid around in her glass.

"I was.. um.. a goddess. But goddesses are a bit out of date in my world. We do what we can to get by."

"...shiny." Kaylee beams.

Easter laughs delightedly, she likes Kaylee.

"It has it's moments."

Now she's wondering what sorts of things she can do for this girl. She's feeling generous tonight.

"I just bet it does -- anything in particular? That you're...of, I mean? Goddess-like?"

She smiles again, unaccountably shy. It's been a while since anyone had reacted to he in quite this way.

"I was the goddess of the dawn, springtime. It goes with the whole, um, fertility and rebirth bit."

She takes a deep breath.

"I could do more when I was actually being worshipped for what I did. It is a sort of cycle, one feeds the other, and generally everyone benefits."

Kaylee considers this. "...yeah, I can see how that works." Headtilt. "There's still spring places, though. Right?"

"Indeed, and there are still celebrations that bear my name, though they have changes some of the meaning. It helps though. I've got it better than some others."

She shrugs. Were there any that still believed in her when the earth was abandoned, Kaylee might possibly be able to find a version of her somewhere in her own time.

"Well. That's good. 'Cause...you'd be a hell of a person to lose."

She smiles wistfully.

"You are a dear girl, but things tend to happen now without so much of my help. Most people don't even remember who I ever was. That's why I like it here."

[gonna_live]

"Just so long as you're happy. Reckon that's what matters."

[eostre-of-dawn.livejournal.com]

"I'm happiest making sure that others are well taken care of, Kaylee."

She laughs a little.

"People here let me fuss at them a bit. And the men don't mind being flirted with either, which is nice."
