Okay, so her last visit here was maybe something less than a complete success.

But you know what they say. When you get thrown, then you have to get right back up, eviscerate the horse who had the audacity to throw you, and then get on the next one, right?

There's a brunette in a black dress sitting in one of the booths tonight, idly stirring her appletini with a swizzle stick, and watching the other patrons through currently brown eyes.

Jo's not be-child-ed tonight.

Which means there's a whiskey double.
And she's staring out That Damn Window.


Likely as not, she isn't seeing it either.

[justasaleswoman]

"Think there's enough there to block out what you're thinking about, little girl?"

She might mean the whiskey.

She might mean the window.

Does it matter?

[tobeclosetohim]

Jo let her gaze scan toward the voice.
It's not a place to avoid company.
It doesn't stop the annoyance.

[justasaleswoman]

Awwwww. The annoyance is kind of cute.

"Hello, darling.

"How are you?

"How are things at your mama's bar?"

[tobeclosetohim]

Jo's face sharpened at the last one.
She hadn't mentioned it once here.




"New dress?" Not that she cared.
(Or more than she wished she didn't.)

[justasaleswoman]

"New dress, new shoes, new hair, new body.

"Well, new to me at least.

"Pretty, don't you think?"

[tobeclosetohim]

"Not yours."

Pretty...fucked up.

The words she'd said to Cas.

[justasaleswoman]

"What's that expression again?

"Possession is nine tenths of the law?"

[tobeclosetohim]

That word gets a scoff.

"Having, not taking by force."

Moist hasn't quite figured out the best way to blend in here so he's sitting at a table and shuffling a deck of cards.

She catches his eye, because its hard not to miss a beautiful woman and he nods to her.

[justasaleswoman]

Blending in is highly overrated.

Sometimes.

He gets a half smile over the top of her drink.

[morethanprops]

Its what normally works for him and he nods before showing off a little with the cards just a touch of sleight of hand.

[justasaleswoman]

Awwwww, look.

It does tricks.

How droll.

Or something.

[morethanprops]

Moist gives her one of his more awkward smiles and a shrug, after all he's just an ordinary man who can't do that much.

[justasaleswoman]

Yes, that much is rather obvious.

Sadly.

"I think it's generally considered rude to look this long without buying, sugar."

[morethanprops]

"Then I wouldn't want to be rude. Can I get you another drink?"

The cards are slipped into his jacket since clearly they just get in the way.

[justasaleswoman]

Clearly.

"Why the hell not?" she says.

[cannotforget.livejournal.com]

"Y'know, I never struck you as the appletini type."

There's a familiar face smirking in her direction, arms crossed over her chest.

[justasaleswoman]

"It's a cliche, but they taste good.

"Ruby.

"Trying to rock the Blonde Ambition Tour look, are you?"

[cannotforget.livejournal.com]

Ruby will just make herself at home on the other side of Verity's booth, yeah?

Because. Well, she does.



"You're just jealous 'cause I pull it off so well."

[justasaleswoman]

"Don't flatter yourself, darling."

She holds up her half-empty glass.

"You want anything?"

[cannotforget.livejournal.com]

She shrugs.


"It's been a while since I knocked back an Atlantean."

[justasaleswoman]

Verity looks over at the closest waitrat.

"You heard the, ah, lady."

It squeaks once and scurries off.

[cannotforget.livejournal.com]

"So."

Ruby leans back a bit, looking more or less relaxed.

"Word is, you got yourself a prize-winning soul recently."


Oh, she already knows (knew for a little while now) - and even if, for whatever reasons she missed the memo, it's been all over the 'tabloids'.

But she never did get the chance to send her congrats.

[justasaleswoman]

"Blue ribbon at the county fair kind of deal."

Verity leans forward a bit.

"Word is, there's more to you than meets the eye."

And didn't make the newsletter.

Verity heard it strictly off the record.
