Happy Hour

[collects_ears]

Before you, stands the bartender.

Drinks are his specialty.

Try one and see for yourself.

"Tonight's specials are: Scorpion's Tail, Secret Blue, Shore Breeze and Sid's Special."

Come try something new.

"What'll it be?"

"Scorpion's Tail?"

Sounds kind of poisonous.

[collects_ears]

"I promise it bears no relation whatsoever to the beast with which it shares a name." George says with a grin.

[mal-nightingale.livejournal.com]

"I should hope not. Would you recommend it?"

He takes a barstool.

[collects_ears]

"That depends entirely on if you like banana, if so - yes, I recommend it."

[mal-nightingale.livejournal.com]

Malcolm pretends to think about it for a moment.

"I like bananas. Bananas are good. I'll have one of those, please."

[collects_ears]

"Coming right up."

He smiles.




[[ooc: YOU DIDN'T! Awesome! Hehehe.]]

[mal-nightingale.livejournal.com]

"Thanks."

He pauses.

"I'm Malcolm Wainwright, by the way," he says, offering his hand.



[ ooc; I DID. *hides* ]

[collects_ears]

"You're most welcome." he says with a nod of his head.

He extends his own hand and shakes the offered hand.

"Pleased to meet you. George Cooper, at your service."

[mal-nightingale.livejournal.com]

"So, have you been here long?"

[collects_ears]

George places the drink on the bar.

"Not quite three years now."

[mal-nightingale.livejournal.com]

"That's quite a long time. I'm Bound, at present. I think it's only been a little over a month now."

[collects_ears]

"And where do you harken from?"

George is always interested in hearing stories about other places.

[mal-nightingale.livejournal.com]

"London, 2007," he replies.

"Yourself?"

[collects_ears]

"Ah London, I've always wanted to go visit there - it sounds like quite the place. I come from a land called Tortall myself. Quite unlike your London."

[mal-nightingale.livejournal.com]

"London is quite nice, if a bit rainy. Wouldn't trade it for any other place in the world. What's Tortall like?"

[collects_ears]

"Much like earth of old, as I understand it. They sound quite similar, from all accounts. No electricity or automobiles."

He grins.

"No coffee - something a friend of mine acquired quite the taste for when she arrived."

[mal-nightingale.livejournal.com]

"Ah." Malcolm nods a little, scratching the back of his head.

"You're not really missing much, with no coffee. It's simply the socially acceptable drug."

He shrugs.

"I prefer tea, myself."

[collects_ears]

George laughs at that.

"Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. Tea comes first in my heart - it always has - I suspect it always will."

[mal-nightingale.livejournal.com]

"Tea's a drink for every occasion," Malcolm comments, smiling.

"And I believe it's better for your health."

[ ooc; Sleep calls. Slowtime, please? ]
