Serenity's got about another 32 hours before they hit Ezra.

The waiting before a job is usually the worst part, and today Mal is feeling it more so than others. He's checking in with the bar when he receives an eyepatch and a watergun the likes of which he hasn't seen since that ridiculous Assassin game in April.

There's a smirk when he shoves the eyepatch into his pocket, hopping behind the bar and scrawling out a sign before asking Bar for a 3' by 5' cloth.



Mal walks out the door to the lake, damn near whistling.

[ooc: I'm on gchat for any coordinating that might want to happen. Uh. It's not a huge boat, but it'll do. I'll put up an organizing post somewhere if this gets people involved.

ETA: This thread is for any arrivals if you are participating in shenanigans.

ETA AGAIN: OOC COMMUNICATIONS.

And it continues: The Battle Thread. Onlookers welcome.

And food for the spectators. And the winner, obviously.]

. . . Mike is no easier to understand when Ianto is not buzzed than when he is.

"The Landlord?"

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

"Mmmhmm."

Mike sort of eyes him.

"You know...my boss? The one who calls the shots, but is never in the line of fire?"

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"I have no idea what the hierarchy is in this place," Ianto says comfortably. "All I know is there are bartenders sometimes. And security."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

Mike raises his hand well over his head.

"Landlord."

Then slightly further down.

"Bar."

Then about an inch above the sand.

"Barman."

On the sand.

"Patrons."

Under the sand.

"Security."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"Poor Security," Ianto says sympathetically, since that's kind of what he does at home, sort of, in a very vague way.

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

"Poor Security, indeed. It's kind of a thankless job around here.

I mean, it's usually pretty thankless no matter where you go, but around here that's kind of amplified. Poor bastards."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"I'd think so, what with all the gods and heroes and magicians getting soused and breaking things. And, apparently, turning people into pandas."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

"That's why they make the big bucks. Or...you know, we tell them that what they're making is the big bucks.

I took Raph's place in the lineup when he was laid up. Can't say as I'm going to miss it now that he's back. I kind of like being retired from that sort of thing."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"His place in Security, you mean?"

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

"Yup. He was pulling Security details long before me and my other brothers found our way here. Though...the math on that is problematic."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"Don't tell me pi equals three point one five here or something."

He smiles a little. Geek joke!

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

Mike just sort of blinks at him.

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"The math . . ? Never mind. How was the math problematic?"

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

"Well like, when I got here people were telling me all these stories about how long Raph'd been here, but I followed him here not long after he found the place.

And I know that because I followed him here. I mean, it's not like we haven't had time issues in the past, er the future...er...well, issues with time before."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

Ianto frowns at him a moment, then nods. "Yeah. I know somebody like that."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

"Her name wouldn't be Renet, would it? Blonde. Wears a blue leotard with pocket watches all over it."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

". . . no. Jack. Mostly wears blue--well, everything."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

Mike's brow furrows.

"Anyone I'd know?"

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"He used to come here a lot, I'm told. Jack Harkness." Pause. "The other one."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

Mike quirks a smirk.

"Heard of him. He was a Delicate Flower, wasn't he?"

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"Yes," with a patient sigh. "He worked in the brothel. He's an intergalactic manslut. Very little has changed."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

"You say that like it's a bad thing. That's a job I'd put my resume in for if I wasn't committed. Though...I think I might prefer Man of Mystery more."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"The pay's probably better for Man of Mystery."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[mnt_mike]

"Bet I'd get dental insurance too."

Re: TO THE VICTOR GOES THE OMNOMNOMS!

[likesthecoat]

"Now, see, that's where you'd be surprised: the benefits package for intergalactic manwhore is actually quite generous."
