Happy Hour

[makesthings]

Sam has been traveling and was expecting his room at the inn he's staying at not Milliways. After opening and closing the door once, he goes through with a sigh before sighing again at the napkin he gets. He's fairly sure that he doesn't need to talk to more people, he meets people as he works on the Stones and at his duties in Belisaere as well as talking to people here.

First he washes his hands, healing a cut on his hand and looks over his surcoat which is covered with the grime of the road and straightens it and his sword as best he can. Then he picks up the cocktail book and tries to find some nice drinks.

Specials
Spiced wine
Confidence Builder
Makers Cup
Fuzzy Iron Worker
What projects are you working on? Tell me and your drink is half off.

Then he pours himself a spiced wine and waits to see who appears.

(OOC: Tonight got weird on me so consider this open for new tags until the new happy hour goes up. Though I'll be slow getting to them tomorrow.)

"Projects?" Guy asked. "And what if I have none?"

[makesthings]

"Whatever you're doing,"

He frowns as he looks over Guy, another one of the Milliways' dead, they still surprise him. For only an instant, his hand shifts from his glass of wine before returning to it.

[landlesslord]

"Mostly, I have been reading a lot."

It's something he didn't have much time for in life.

[makesthings]

"Anything good?" Sam's trying to figure out if that's a good question, books are easy conversation topics.

[landlesslord]

"It turns out there were a number of far better rulers in England, after King Richard." Guy shrugged. "I have been reading histories."

They're not really good or bad. Just a recounting.

[makesthings]

"England, I've been there. Histories are always helpful. I keep looking for some that talk about my work in my world,"

There must be books that will tell him more about being Wallmaker as the Old Kingdom tries to write things down. Its just hard to know what's been lost over the centuries.

[landlesslord]

"I take it there are none in the library here?" Marian had suggested the library, which had come in useful when the books in his room were all read.

"What do you do?"

[makesthings]

"I haven't had a chance to look yet. I've been searching the libraries of my home first. A couple of things but mainly I'm sort of a magical engineer,"

Explaining what he does always seems simpler here than talking about who he is.

[landlesslord]

"A sorcerer?" Guy asked, thinking about the last time he was in the library. "I didn't see many books concerning magic, but I wasn't looking for them."

[makesthings]

"Charter Mage but yes, sorcerer is close enough. I haven't looked for them so I don't know what's there."

[landlesslord]

Guy nodded towards the specials board. "What do you recommend?"

[makesthings]

"Spiced wine is what I normally drink. I just chose the others for their names but they all look like they should taste good."

[landlesslord]

"Hmm." It was a long time ago, but..."I'll have the spiced wine then.

"When I last drank something unfamiliar here, I sorely regretted it the next day."

[ostro_goth]

"Greetings, Sameth," Teja says. "You know of my projects; and I do not hesitate to pay fairly for good drink."

[makesthings]

"Then what can I get you?"

[ostro_goth]

"Something that does not contain vodka," Teja says.

[makesthings]

"The second two don't. The Maker's cup has whiskey and the Iron Worker has two kinds of rum and they both have added fruit juice."

[ostro_goth]

"I think I shall have the Iron Worker one," Teja says, "as it fits me."

Also, is not whiskey the thing that that murderous Scotsman drinks? It might not be a good influence upon one's character, then.

[makesthings]

Sam nods and turns to mix the drink which has two kinds of rum, raspberry liqueur and pineapple juice.

It ends up turning out a quite pretty color, "There you are."

[ostro_goth]

"Thank you," Teja says. He sips the drink, and finds it pleasantly tart.

"This is interesting."

He looks into his drink, and smiles to himself, shaking his head.

[makesthings]

"I just picked it for the name."

[ostro_goth]

"I thought so," Teja says, turning the glass in his hand.

Pause.

"I am even less pleasant company at the moment than usually: - I apologise!"

[makesthings]

"What's wrong?" He can listen though he probably won't have any advice that's useful.

[ostro_goth]

"Even though I do at least have my silver snake again, and can go see my people once more," Teja says, "-- as you saw, when I brought Hilde -- not all that went up with the apocalypse has come down yet, or come down in a pattern I recognise. Most went on with their lives and afterlives, but I can still feel the reverberations and aftershocks, and they are unsettling."

[makesthings]

"Oh, how do you mean?"

Sameth hasn't been aware of that but he also hasn't been around for most of the repairs, the Old Kingdom needs his time more.
