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).]

"Oh well. I'll just have to grab someone to take a picture of me by the windows. Should work, d'you think?"

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Work for what, exactly?

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

"Just to be here. Do you realize how... how..." Laini flails with her hands for a moment, then points to the windows.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

How... awesome it is?




Yeah.

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

A shrug, and she looks back at him, head tilted in a not-so-human way.

"End of the universe, and we get to enjoy the light show insted of being sucked out into the void of space, either to fwoosh!," her hands to a good job of mimicing an explosion via decompression, "or ka-boom!" And another demonstration of explosion via pyrotechnics.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Well, there's always the possibility of either fwoosh! or ka-boom! happening.

*He doesn't look too upset.*

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

"And a million other things that can happen no matter where you go. So why worry?" Laini laughs, and downs her drink.

"Still quite a nice view. You must be proud." Grining, she stands. "So nice to see the place."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*He smiles*

I am proud, thanks.

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

Don't ask where she had the small digital camera. A grin, and she holds it up. "May I?"

And suddenly she's in jean shorts and a wildly colored hawaiian shirt, with a widebrimmed straw hat, sunglasses, and two other cameras hanging by straps around her neck.

"You and the bar?"

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Uh... sure.

*He grins, a little uncomfortable.*

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

There's a flash from the camera, and Laini lowers it with a grin. "You want a copy for yourself?"

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Um. No thanks.

What'll you do with it?

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

Laini slips off her sunglasses (which fade away by the time her hand lowers to her side), and smiles faintly.

"Put it by my tech console at work, and hope they'll send me off on errands sometime soon again, so I can bust that joint and come here and get another drink."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard watches the glasses fade away, bemused.*

Well, you're always welcome.

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

"Oh, really?" She clasps her hands together and bats her eyes at Bernard.

"I could kiss you for that. Can I kiss you? Safe to do so, or would I have anyone coming after me with vengeance in her or his or its eyes?"

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

I think it's best you keep your distance, baby. My fiancée could kill you with her pinky. And me, too.

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

"Aw." She pouts for a moment, then grins. "Sentiments the same, though. Thank you!"

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[foxy-l33t.livejournal.com]

Laini beams, and heads off.
