Happy Hour!

[collects_ears]

George Cooper.

Tending Bar.

He makes a couple of quick additions to the Specials Board and then announces:

"Tonight's drinks are; Gentleman's Club , Gila Monster, Gingerbread Man #2 and Godchild .."

"What'll it be?"

George? Where do you get these Specials from?

[collects_ears]

"From the twisted recesses of my mind, generally..." he drawls. "That. And boredom."

He grins at her.

"Evening, Delia."

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

[that gets a husky laugh]

Evening.

[collects_ears]

"Can I get you a drink?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

Of course! Gentleman's Club.

[collects_ears]

"As my lady commands."

He fills the glass with ice cubes and starts adding the ingredients.

As he stirs he asks, "How are you? I've seen hide nor hair of you these past few weeks.."

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

Busy, actally.

[collects_ears]

"Do tell."

Penelope grins.

"Hmm ... I wonder what the theme could be tonight."

[collects_ears]

"Theme?" he asks innocently. "What theme?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_clearly_penny_/]

"Things I can do without, I think," Penelope quips, taking a seat. She sets down her quite-large bag on the floor beside her and crosses her legs at the ankle.



... Look, Penelope isn't strictly opposed to godchildren-- but nor is she in favor.

Gila monsters, gingerbread, and gentlemen's clubs, however, can all go hang.

[collects_ears]

Well. That was entirely unexpected.

[Though really, it shouldn't have been..]

And it causes him to laugh out loud.

"..you have a bias against Gingerbread men?" he asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Dare I even ask?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_clearly_penny_/]

Penelope pats her stomach self-consciously.

It should be noted that said stomach is perfectly all right, a fact that she will sheepishly agree to if pressed.

"They're not terribly good for you, you know," she informs him.

[collects_ears]

There isn't anything wrong with her stomach that he can see...

[Or the rest of her. Really.]

"Cookies were never intended to be good for you.."

He grins.

"Else they'd lose their inherent ...cookie-ness."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_clearly_penny_/]

Penelope laughs.

"Cookie-ness? Is that a technical term?"

[collects_ears]

"Yes. You can't get more technical than that.." he drawls.

He even manages to keep a straight face as he says it.

Mostly.

".. and now, to segue away from this deeply intellectual discussion on the inherent nature of the cookie - how are you, Miss Penelope Clearwater?"

[mini-supes.livejournal.com]

"A few months gone mean I can press my luck, or am I still restricted to apple juice?"

It's too fun to ask questions you know the answer to already!

[collects_ears]

"Evening, Kon. Lets see shall we?"

A pause.

And a glass of apple juice appears on the bar.

George says nothing.

..The grin says it all really.

[mini-supes.livejournal.com]

"Man," Kon says, "I ain't ever gonna get to try alcohol."

Well. Try more than one sip, anyway.

It kind of sucked.

[collects_ears]

"..well, you're from Earth aren't you? So you could always go to .. what's the name of that country again.." he thinks for a moment, ".. Canada? I hear their legal drinking age is 19." He drawls.

[mini-supes.livejournal.com]

"Not nineteen yet," Kon points out. "So that won't work."

[collects_ears]

"Then I'm sorry to say, Kon-me-lad.. that I think you're doomed."

He grins.

He is sorry.

Just not that sorry.

[mini-supes.livejournal.com]

Kon snorts.

"I'll manage it, someday. Just you watch."

Really!

[alwaysroomforhope]

Steph is not smirking at Kon. Nope. Not even a little.

Bar serves her anything she wants. Benefit of being dead.

She grins at George, slipping into the seat beside Kon. "Can I try a Gentleman's Club? I always wanted to see the inside of one of them, I guess drink form's something, at least."

[collects_ears]

"As my lady commands." He smiles. "One Gentleman's club, coming right up."

He glances at the girl as he starts preparing her drink.

He's never seen her before.

She's teasing Kon. So he likes her already.
