Bartending! [hellfly]

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

Claire comes down to the bar a few minutes too late for her shift-- she doesn't care-- and glances around. Things are fairly straight behind the bar and she shrugs indifferently. Let some one else clean up for a change.

Bored, she turns to the patrons around the bar and asks, "What do you want?"





[[Summary: Claire shocks Barry and Asar-Suti with her foul mouth; embarrasses Jaina with her questions about Jaina's sex life; bonds with Meg and receives a special costume; and is rather rude to Guppy.]]

"Good afternoon, Claire." It's Barry, chipper and looking jsut a tad damp from a trip to the lake.

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"Hey," she nods. "What are you so perky about today?"

[silverageflash.livejournal.com]

He sort of notices a tone in her voice. Figures Seth is colicky or something.

"Sara and I are taking a day trip to Las Vegas tomorrow. It should be...fun."

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yeah," she shrugs. "It's good to get out of this damn place sometimes."

[silverageflash.livejournal.com]

"It will be my first time, actually. I've been a bit hesistant to go, since I know it can only be temporary. But I think it's time." He smiles, rather self-absorbed for once.

Because her mun wants Jaina to interact with this Claire at some point, Jaina walks inside from lightsaber practice and heads over to the bar.

"Hey Claire." She greets the bartender with a small smile. "Can I get a glass of water?"

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

You are so damned evil. I apologize in advance for anything she says.


Claire looks up and shrugs indifferently. "Sure."

She hands Jaina a glass and leans against the bar. "So, anything new happening with the boytoy?"

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

Me, evil? Nah. :D

"Thanks." Jaina takes a sip of the water. She frowns briefly at Claire's choice of words, but shrugs it off. "He's still settling in to life at Milliways."

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

Just a wee little bit. :P


"I'm sure you can come up with something to make the transition a little more bearable," she smirks. "Force has got to be good for something, right?"

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

She laughs. "Are you implying what I think you're implying, Claire?"

[balletrat]

'lo, Claire, *Meg says cheerfully.*

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"Hey Ballerina, what's new?" she grins and leans against the bar.

[balletrat]

I hear you've been picking up cursewords, *Meg says amiably.* I can teach you some in French if you want, they're handy to know.

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"I haven't been picking them up exactly," she frowns. "I've known them all along. Why do people keep fucking acting like that's weird?"

She pauses and then grins. "And sure. Teach away."

[balletrat]

I dunno, *Meg says, with a shrug, and grins.* I have a feeling I'd get some shocked looks if people knew half what I was saying in French. 'Je m'en fous' is 'I don't give a damn' or 'fuck it all' - I think, anyways, I'm not so good with the English translations - and I throw that one around like candy.

"Hello, Claire!" Asar-Suti turns up at the bar as usual. Whatever happens, he's not going to miss his mint julep from Claire.

"How's things - how was the party? Sorry I didn't come, but Gil was changed into faun-shape again, and not just that - he's a wild faun now. I - didn't feel like partying. Sorry again."

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"It's alright," she shrugs indifferently. "All you missed was some fighting, some more fighting, and some hot Vampire loving going down."

She hands him his drink. "I'm sure we could recreate it here for you sometime. At least the fucking part."

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

Asar-Suti staaaaaaares.

"You what??"

At the same time, he feels the anger inside Claire, the snark and the rudeness that had suddenly taken up residence inside her. Well, he couldn't know if she hadn't felt it all along and only let it out now. He doesn't think so, though.

"What happened to you, Claire?"

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

"Why does everyone keep asking me that?" she frowns.


"Seriously. I'm fine. Happy. Gloriously and blissfully laid. What could be the problem?"

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

"Well, getting laid by James might make anybody rather relaxed; I'm just not used to you swearing like Lochiel. Who else asked you that, though?"

It sounds somehow horribly familiar.

Claire as well - so it had been Asar-Suti after all, in some way or another. He doesn't bat an eyelash, though; it wouldn't do to alarm her.

She feels perfectly natural inside, though. Like Gil the faun.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy comes to the bar in ghost form. He can't eat or drink anything very easily but he'll give it a try.

"Hello Claire. Do you have anything light?"

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

She gives him an odd look. "Duh, Guppy. You know we have everything here. What do you want?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"I don't know. What do ghosts normally eat? I only recently turned like this, and I'm really hungry."

He looks a little surprised, but not hurt, at her use of the words 'Duh, Guppy.' Even when he asked for a chocolate biscuit he didn't get that reaction.

[ooc: Sure, no problem. My own fault for not getting the EST/GMT conversion right.]

[sendpeanutbtr.livejournal.com]

She laughs. "Honey, I don't know what the hell ghosts eat. Can they even eat? Have you tried yet?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"I tried sherbet and I managed to swallow some of it but the rest just went everywhere. And I was desperate for a cup of coffee this morning but that was just a messy experience. There are other ghosts here, aren't there? I mean do they eat?"

He's sure she must have some idea...
