BARTENDING

*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).]

I know. I'm keeping an eye on him personally.

*Tim runs a hand through his hair.*

Gut reaction? We do it. I lived on a world with that guy and.... brrr. When heros want to scare each other, they tell Joker stories. And the wirst part is he isn't metahuman at all, just a regular nutjob. He incied an out of costume hero to attempt assault last night.,... And the hero was on crutches at the time. If we let the Joker free, he'll make a mockery of the rules.

*Bernard winces*

But we can't lawfully imprison him till he breaks them.

*Tim nods grimly.*

I know. It sucks. Cause i know he's going to incite other people to throw the first punch, leaving him off free....

*A long sigh*

Well.

You've got your job cut out for you.

You see him inciting, you throw him in a cell.

*Tim nods*

Yes sir. Any problems i should be aware of you've heard of?

*Tim pauses.*

We are sending a group after Faith as soon as we can lock her down.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

None that I can think of other than that bastard Barty Crouch.

*A long sigh*

I saw her fall. Is she alive?

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

*Tim glances at his spell.*

Yes. Definitely.

*Tim pauses.*

Should i bug crouch? Magical supervison?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*A long sigh*

He hasn't done anything.

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

Damnit.

*Bernard leans forward confidentially*

Tim, I am so scared of what this guy could do to her, or Sunny, or me. He'll go after the other patrons, maybe, but I'm a muggle marrying a very powerful witch. It's like all three of us are wearing bullseyes.

You keep a close eye. I trust you.

*Tim blinks. He raises a hand to wipe a bit of dust, yes damnit, that was dust, not a tear, from his eye.*

Yes Sir. Don't you worry, I'll keep him under my watch, you can count on me. I will NOT let anything happen, to any of you.

*Tim... should you... NO! It will NOT be an issue.*

*Bernard nods.

There's nothing more to be said, really.*
