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).]

Fucked if I know.

*He sighs*

Sometimes I wonder what I'd been like had I been born like this 'stead of hatched like I was. Or maybe this is just like, residual migration lust.
I dunno.

Maybe building the bike will help.

[mnt_raph]

Hope so.
'S like, what're the people in a movie do when the credit's roll? They sit on their hands, or build a motorcycle.

I don't know, should quit my whinin' is what I should do.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Well. Maybe this is kind of the point of being here, for you. If there is one.

See what you really get up to when you can't really do what you were trained for.




You know, Faith was teaching some people self-defense. I saw you with Sunny. Ever thought about it?

[mnt_raph]

*Raph laughs bitterly*

Oh yeah, even tried it. Scared the hell outta Bruce to the point where he had to go to Lecter for help. Kid still can't stand the sight of me.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Well, shit, Raph. You wouldn't be teaching the unstable ones. Kid's kind of a basketcase.

[mnt_raph]

You'd think the unstable ones'd be the only ones I'd be qualified toteach.

Shouldn'a taken that kid to the city. That was dumb...

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Oh, did you? I didn't know.

[mnt_raph]

Thought it'd be a treat for him, you know? Take him to the roof, show him New York. Kinda forgot there was an alley between here an' there. Kid froze up, some sorta flashback.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Oh.

You know, I never really heard what happened to him, just that it was bad. Is he okay now?

[mnt_raph]

He's pretty famous back where we're from. Story's been told like a million times.

Now? No idea. Not that I woulda seen him anyway.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he seems to keep to himself.

[mnt_raph]

Yeah well, that's par for the course. Kid kicks like a mule and bites like a freakin' shark.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard can't help but snicker*

He and Sunny would get along.

[mnt_raph]

You say that now. Bet that tune'll change when Sunny's like...what, fourteen?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

...Let's not get into that.

[mnt_raph]

'Cause you know, Bruce grows up to be a pretty good lookin' guy....

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*His eyes narrow*

How do you know?

[mnt_raph]

Don't gotta be a vampire around here to know a handsome guy. Plus, I told you, he's famous.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

So, are you from his future or something?

[mnt_raph]

*Way to tread on some thin ice there, Raph. Nice going*

Future, present...sorta kinda. Yeah. Don't make me explain it, it won't make no sense, and it'll just give us both a headache.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

...Okay. This is one of those things I'm better off ignoring, isn't it?

[mnt_raph]

One in an ever growin' list, yeah.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Dare I ask?

[mnt_raph]

I wouldn't if I were you. Thinkin' just leads to problems.
