BARTENDING

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard. In the bar.

At the Bar.

Taking orders.

Imagine that.*

[ooc: Clarice gets a flat in the Staff Wing; Tom Riddle gets a scotch and an update on Bernard's love life, which is rather awesome; Sunny is imperious and snuggly and calls Bernard Daddy for the first time; Tony is depressed (OMG SHOCK AND AWE); Ace is seduced away from Tim with Vegetable Korma; Tim and Bernard talk about Security issues, including Faith and Barty Crouch, and Bernard pricks at Tim's conscience without meaning to; Laini is over-friendly; Q offers his services in the future; the Trips get cockroaches and a knife; Ginny's just plain nice and talkative; and Raph and Bernard talk about EVERYTHING (definitely worth a read).]

Is it?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_queue_/]

"Well, I think so. Others may have their own opinions."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Huh.


*He sticks out a hand*

Bernard Wrangle, Head Barman.

And you are...?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_queue_/]

He shakes with Bernard. "Q, of the Q Continuum, at your service."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you.

Get you a drink, Q?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_queue_/]

"Sure. Surprise me." He smiles.

*His eyes narrow, and the Bernard mixes up a Dirty Girl Scout (http://www.webtender.com/db/drink/1610).*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_queue_/]

He watches Bernard mix the drink with a smile (despite the odd look of it). "The presentation is better than on the Enterprise, that's for certain. Thank you." He lifts the glass. "Cheers."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Oh? Cheers, by the way.

The Enterprise?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_queue_/]

He nods. "The NCC 1701, Federation Starship Enterprise. Captained by Capt. Picard."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Huh.

Don't know it.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_queue_/]

He shrugs, unoffended. "24th Century, Earth reckoning. I just thought I'd introduce myself and offer my services in any little thing you might need doing."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Oh, really? I know some other people from that when. Dunno if it's the same where, though.

Are you... Alliance?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_queue_/]

"Technically, no. The Q are far from the area of the galaxy the Alliance has yet reached.

"But I do work with the crew of the Enterprise quite often."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*His eyes narrow*

Huh.

Well.

*He's got nothin'.*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_queue_/]

He smiles. "But at least I'm relatively friendly with regards to Humankind.

"I've spoken to many of your staff, including Tim, Bigby and Valentine Wiggins, among others. They should be able to give you their impressions of me."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

I'll speak to them.

What exactly can you do?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_queue_/]

"Anything. We Q are omnipotent."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Uh.

Golly.

And what do you charge for the service?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_queue_/]

He shrugs. "Depends on what you want. Mostly I do things because it sounds amusing or because I'm bored."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

And if you do want payment...?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_queue_/]

"Usually it would be something you'd have to work at, to keep you from taking me for granted."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Well.

I can't see that happening.

But that's good to know.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_queue_/]

He chuckles. "Good. I'd hate to have to teach you a lesson."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

So would I, I think.
