*blinks as he steps through the door*

Sodding hell. Didn't think there were any afterlives like this.

*makes his way to the bar, sits down and looks in some confusion at the profusion of drinks and apparent lack of staff*

*pretends he didn't really want a drink anyway*

Anybody in here up for a game of poker?

Aah, Spike.

You always make life more interesting.

Can I get you a drink, dear?

[spiked-drink.livejournal.com]

*eyes this woman appreciatively but a bit nervously*

Do I know you?

[green-eyed-luck.livejournal.com]

I certainly know you.

They call me the Lady.

*produces a pack of cards, seemingly from thin air*

Now, the poker? Or would you rather have a drink?

[spiked-drink.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, Lady. Do you not have another name, or do you just enjoy being cryptic?

And how do you get drinks here when there's noone around to serve them? The staff aren't ghosts, are they? Frigging hate ghosts. Never know what the buggers are up to.

*is getting a bit nervous*

That's nice for me, I'm sure. Who are you then?

*Smiles way, way, too easily; Liplessly, showing perfect, straight, blindingly white teeth. He extends a thin, cool hand*
I am The Corinthian.

*shakes hand without hesitation, automatically not showing his unease*

You know, mate, introducing yourself by where you come from went out of mode a few centuries ago.

[eyemightbite.livejournal.com]

However, you look to be soon occupied. I just wanted to make introductions. We have plenty of time to talk, and * looks over to where Morpheus is* I have other fires to stoke. Must say hi to dear old Dad, and like that. *Grins, again*
*Leaves as abruptly as he came, headed for Morpheus*

Greetings, vampire.

*blinks*

An angel? Is this heaven, then? Christ.

[4i-messenger.livejournal.com]

No, heaven is a city Much Like San Francisco. House upon house depended from Hillside, From Crest down to Dockside, The green Mirroring Bay. This is merely a stop at the end of the universe, where one can rest and drink alcoholic beverages the humans invented. There is no brandy in heaven.

[spiked-drink.livejournal.com]

No brandy? Then I'm glad I ended up here, no matter how weird it is. Are...are there any other vampires here? All I've run into so far are angels and goddesses, and I'm feeling a bit outclassed.

*which is highly irritating*

[a-tendo.livejournal.com]

*perks up* Are you 'Spikey'? I think I've heard a bit about you.

[spiked-drink.livejournal.com]

Spikey? Who the hell have you run into that's been calling me that?

[a-tendo.livejournal.com]

Oh, this girl I've been talking to says you're her's. She's quite nice, allow she keeps talking in these riddles. Kinda strange, but she's still nice enough. Said this girl took you and her father away.

*thinks* You know, I'm not really sure she gave me her name. She had a doll though, Miss Edith or something along those lines.

[spiked-drink.livejournal.com]

...

Dru?. Is she...I mean, does she come here often?

[vampire-brat.livejournal.com]

Spiiike!!! Let the good times begin again!
Just warning you homme, I've talked to Dru, she's quite pissed about the Buffy thing...

[spiked-drink.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's you. Do you want to buy me a drink? I don't have any money, so it appears I'll be living off people's bloody charity. Is there any way to earn money around here?

Oh. Shit. I'll talk to her, I'm sure we can work it out.

[vampire-brat.livejournal.com]

Oui, Spike, what would you like? I recommend the Honeydukes Blood lollipops *flourishes said lollipop* Just divine...
They have a lot of staff already at the bar, but Sirius was talking about changing his method of picking his staff just the other day, so he could still be looking. Ask Sirius or Gil, but stay away from BB, he's kinda cranky.
Of course, I am a millionaire a few times over... *offers some notes* What's a bit of charity between vampires anyway?

[spiked-drink.livejournal.com]

It comes in lollipops? What wacko came up with that idea?

I don't think I was cut out for serving drinks, really. Do they need crowd control? I'm good at that. God knows I've started and finished enough bar brawls in my time.

Modest, aren't we? *nabs the bills anyway*

[vampire-brat.livejournal.com]

We're talking demons and angels (not the wimpy kind with bad hair.... okay, not the wimpy vampire kind with bad hair, anyway,) and occasionally Satan himself. Also, occasionally, lover's tiffs between angels and demons, you really don't want to get yourself involved with those.

We are strong though, aren't we? You, me and Dru, (plus another vamp, a guy called Beth,) we could make a good team.

[spiked-drink.livejournal.com]

Satan? *whistles* Haven't run into him before. What's he look like? Horns, red eyes, that kind of thing?

Mr Black has said I can work as a bouncer. Buggered if I'm bouncing Satan, though. Is he the rowdy type?

A guy called Beth. *snorts into pint glass*

[OOC: You have no idea how weird it feels to be grilling someone about my other character.]

[vampire-brat.livejournal.com]

Satan? Actually he's quite handsome. Watch him and Lady Luck though, when they get their heads together, it's trouble for evryone in the bar, even, especially, other demons.
'Bouncing Satan?' *also snorts, has prpobably had too much of Sirius' JD and blood mix*

[OOC: Your other character? Cool. Mine's Greebo the cat, have you read any Terry Pratchett? I'd never heard of Beth.]

[spiked-drink.livejournal.com]

Lady...Luck? *goes even paler, which is quite impressive for someone as pale as Spike*

Shit. Sodding. Shit. At least she likes me. I think.

[OOC: Greebo! *fangirl moment* Ah, Lucifer is my other character. Beth is actually an original character from the discworld_rpg, which I also play in, and he's borrowed from somewhere else again. You'd have to ask his player for more details.]
