Happy Hour~~

[collects_ears]

George walks behind the bar, glancing at the specials left over from earlier in the day.

"Tonight's specials are, in a carry over from earlier in the day, Shish Kebab, with the addition of Spinach and feta cheese omelet, and sweet and sour meatloaf. Tonight's drinks are both r- themed. Rasberry Sex, and Red Dwarf." he announces to the bar, adding the new items to the board.

"What'll it be?"

Chloe wanders back downstairs, feeling a little better. She's been battling a cold.
"Do you have anything that will clear up my sinuses?"

[collects_ears]

George thinks a moment. "Ginger tea?" he suggests.

"As a warning, it's very strong... but it'll do wonders."

"I'll take it." She nods gratefully.

She sips a little, exhales quickly a few times without inhaling, and has a coughing attack.
When she finally calms down a little she looks at George, smiling.
"Oh WOW. You weren't kidding." She closes her eyes and inhales deeply.
"Very nice! Thank you!"

[collects_ears]

"You are most certainly welcome." He smiles.

"I had a similar reaction, the first time I tried it. If you're not a fan of ginger the after taste isn't fun, but you'll be able to breathe much better once it starts to kick in..."

"My mother used to feed me ginger. I never figured out why exactly, something about my growth I think."

Regardless, Chloe suddenly begs for something to wash the taste away.

Sensing her thoughts, George smiles and slides a glass of water toward her.

"Oh God. That was not pleasant. Thanks!"

[collects_ears]

He smiles. "Anytime."

"Is there anything else I can get for you?"

[accessobrian.livejournal.com]

"Heh. How are you at convincing the Bar to bar anyone else I worked with from coming here?"
She smiles weakly.

[collects_ears]

He raises an eyebrow. "Is someone troubling you?"

[accessobrian.livejournal.com]

"Only when I see his ugly face." She sighs heavily and recants.

"It's not his fault though, I guess. He died right before he was pulled here. And I've never been his favorite person. I think mostly because I was so eager to please. It got annoying. I know that now."

[collects_ears]

"Bad history?" he asks, trying to piece together something coherent from what she's told him.

He suspects he's missing something important.

"Unfortunately, as I understand the rules of this place, the dead are bound here. They can't leave."

[accessobrian.livejournal.com]

"Not exactly a bad history so much as he was my boss's boss. And he seemed to crave anything that would undermine my boss's work."

[collects_ears]

George nods, leaning up against the bar. "And what happened?"

[accessobrian.livejournal.com]

She regards George with skepticism.

"Have we been introduced?" Said with eye arched, half smile.

[collects_ears]

Grinning he answers. "No, I don't believe we have."

He offers her a hand. "George Cooper. And you are?"

[accessobrian.livejournal.com]

"Chloe O'Brian. And I could probably tell you. I just wanted to be sure I didn't recognize your name. I mean, it was bad enough telling everyone I know I worked with that my former boss killed his former boss, but to tell someone that I don't know I worked with? Not a good thing." She rolls her eyes.

[collects_ears]

He shrugs, still smiling. "Not to worry. I understand." he hastens to reassure her. "I do some work as a spy back home, so it's something I'm well acquainted with..."

[accessobrian.livejournal.com]

Chloe's eye arches high. She smiles.

"Ah, for which side?"

[collects_ears]

"The good side - if you can call it that. I work for the king." he explains. "It's something of a long story, which I'm happy to share with you some other time." He smiles. "My shift is nearly over. Hopefully we'll have opportunity to speak again.."

[ooc: wrap! But happy to continue another time.]
