Goliath is in the main bar tonight. He's seated on a stool looking curiously at the drink that Bar has provided him. It's a rather large hot chocolate with a tower of whip cream on top and sprinkles. It's not what he asked for, but for some reason it makes him smile. Perhaps it's because it reminds him of the younger gargoyles at home who would love something like this. He has been feeling pretty homesick lately. 

It would be nice if someone came to chat. And perhaps explain exactly how he's supposed to drink this thing.

"I think you have to use a spoon to open a way to the hot cocoa under..."

[stone-warrior.livejournal.com]

"Hmm..." Goliath considers this, having been trying to figure out how to drink without getting a whip cream mustache. "Yes, and perhaps a straw."

[sgvy-yuuki.livejournal.com]

"Yeah... and mix the cream with the cocoa, slowly. Some people would just use their fingers."

[stone-warrior.livejournal.com]

Goliath considers his finger a moment then looks at the Bar, "May I have a spoon?" One appears and he takes it and starts to stir, careful so none of the whip cream falls out of the mug. He stops and takes a closer look into the mug when he sees something else floating beneath the cream. They are marshmallows.

The girl smiles, even grins a bit. "Complete american hot chocolate..."

[stone-warrior.livejournal.com]

"Yes...much more sweet then I usually care for." Still, he tries a sip and smiles. It is very sweet, but also warm as it goes down. "Hmmm."

She slips into a stool, and gets tea for herself.

He takes another drink, enjoying the warmth and the taste a bit more on this one and turns to her. "My name is Goliath."

[sgvy-yuuki.livejournal.com]

"I'm Yuuki... nice to meet you."

[stone-warrior.livejournal.com]

"The same." Goliath bows his head. "So where do you come from?"

[sgvy-yuuki.livejournal.com]

"Tokyo, Japan. And you?"

[stone-warrior.livejournal.com]

"I came here from New York." He answers, taking another sip. "A long time ago I lived in Scotland."

[sgvy-yuuki.livejournal.com]

"Huh..." She blinks, nodding a bit surprised... "People really do come from all over."

[prone-to-panic.livejournal.com]

At some point, there may be a man leaning nearby, ordering a cup of the same, though without the sprinkles. Silly things, sprinkles, though he does know some that are amused by them.

[stone-warrior.livejournal.com]

Goliath catches sight of the near identical order and turns to the man who has asked for it. "Excuse me but, is there an easy way to drink this?" He gestures a bit helplessly at the mug.

[prone-to-panic.livejournal.com]

Archie grins broadly.

"Not really, but that's half the reason people order it, I think. It's completely frivolous."

[stone-warrior.livejournal.com]

Goliath sighs and studies the mug some more, "It's really not what I ordered." Finally he gives in and takes a drink, lifting a hand to wipe away the whip cream that gets left behind on his mouth. "Hmm."

[prone-to-panic.livejournal.com]

Archie grins, handing over a handkercheif.

"My wife thinks it's a staple of all civilized diets. It makes me wonder what she did before she came here."

[stone-warrior.livejournal.com]

"Thank you." Goliath nods and accepts the handkerchief. "There are three members of my clan whom I know would enjoy a drink like this. It seems modern human culture, especially the culinary aspects, appeals to them greatly."

[prone-to-panic.livejournal.com]

"Aye, well... I'll not say that the things I've discovered here that had been invented well after my time aren't spectacularly interesting. I'm particularly fond of the music player a friend got Svava for her birthday..."

He grins a little.

"But where are my manners? I'm Archie Kennedy, lately of His Majesty's ship the Renown. Earth, eighteen-oh-two."

[stone-warrior.livejournal.com]

"Yes, humans have come a long way since my time as well." Goliath agrees. "A great deal of progress, I am still learning to catch up."

He extends his hand while introducing himself, "My name is Goliath. I came here from New York, the late part of the twentieth century, although I was brought there from Scotland a thousand years before that." He adds the last bit in explanation for his earlier comments.

[prone-to-panic.livejournal.com]

"A thousand..."

Archie boggles a bit at that, though not as much as might be expected.

"I was born in Scotland, though I was raised mostly in London."

[stone-warrior.livejournal.com]

"Yes, there was a spell..." And Goliath isn't sure he feels like going into it. "My clan lived at Wyvern Castle in Scotland. I don't know if you are from the same Earth but it stood a long time until moved to New York."

[prone-to-panic.livejournal.com]

Archie thinks hard.

"I don't recall a castle by that name, but it could very well have stood in a different part of the country. Though... before I came here, I wouldn't have said any such thing as magic and spells existed, so it may very well be a different earth."

[stone-warrior.livejournal.com]

"Most humans don't know about magic." Goliath says. "And to them Gargoyles are stone water spouts and the like. They don't realize we once existed, still do if only barely."
