Happy Hour -- Now with 19% More Barman!

[ooc: Pre-Milliways]

*It's late in the afternoon on a particularly lazy Sunday.

Nymphadora and Sunny are both napping, and Bernard's done all he can do on the design for Kitty.

He walks out of the Staff Wing, almost meandering, really, and notices that no one's behind Bar right now.

It's been ages since he tended, between one crisis and another.

He walks behind her and wipes her down, smiling, clearly saying hello. She gleams in what is quite clearly a bright, shining grin.

Bernard looks up, surveys the growing crowd, and grins as well.*

Welcome to Milliways Happy Hour.

Drink specials are Claret, to go with Gil's food specials, and the cocktail specials are Margaritas and Homecoming.

What'll you have?

[ooc: Jesus fucking Christ. Okay.

Asar-Suti comes over and tells Bernard about the Hellfly thingie.

Tony makes conversation about tending and Nita and Michelle.

Robert the frog gets flies from Bar.

Nick approaches and gets blood and news about Bernard's engagement and they talk about Faith and other stuff.

Tim approaches and gives Bernard the run-down of security issues, including Salzella. Also, innuendo about flames. -_-

April O'Neil flirts with Bernard shamelessly for ages, finds out about Tonks and Sunny, and flirts some more.

Bartleby's all 'Hey! Remember me?' and Bernard's all like, 'Oh yeah! You're back! Don't shoot anyone' and Bartleby's all like, 'Shit, no. Got any shifts?' and Bernard's like, 'Double up, I am ORGANIZED now, bitch' and Bartleby's like 'Damn, yo. Okay.'

Liam and Bernard discuss their respective kidlets. (Slowtimed.)

Crowley... oh God. Um. Read it. Includes: Titus Andronicus, furries, an actual Sheep Costume that is now part of the bar décor, general asshattery and photographic evidence.

Lysistrata gets a virgin daiquiri.

Ace and Bernard talk about bombs. SHOCK AND AWE!

Meg tells Bernard about Andrew. Bernard is Sadface.

Bernard breaks Susan Delgado into itty bitty pieces.

Tonks is pregnant and Bernard is oblivious. Cameo by Bar, who takes care of her when Bernard is extra-oblivious. In a sub-thread, Tom and Tonks talk Death Eaters in London Below.

Tom and Bernard talk family and Death Eaters and Gavroche and stuff.

And Janet approaches and I missed the tag, so. We'll see if that goes anywhere.

OKAY I AM DONE NOW WTF PEOPLE.]

"Bernard - hello!"

Asar-Suti turns up. "Just quickly - can you put Melaka Fray on my tab, until further notice?"

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Sure thing.

*It's done.*

How're you? Get you a drink?

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

Tony takes a seat at the bar. “Hey, Bernard.”

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Hey, Tony.

*Bernard grins and walks over.*

Get you something?

[is_a_boy.livejournal.com]

There is a frog sitting on the bar. She eyes Bernard.

"Ribbit."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard eyes the frog.*

Don't expect me to kiss you. You need a princess for that.

I can get you one, but it'll cost you.

Nick wanders downstairs for the first time in some time. He doesn't exactly feel up to a huge deluge of people coming to talk to him, but he needs something to eat and Alex is sleeping soundly, so he wasn't about to wake him up to get him something. He smiles at Bernard before sitting in one of the darker corners of the bar.

"May I get some dinner please?"

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard smiles and approaches.*

Looks like Gil's whipped up a Sunday roast as usual. Is that what you'd like?

[timsbooks.livejournal.com]

*Tim glides up to the bar.*

One virgin margarita if you please bossman.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard mixes it up all old skool-style with a shaker.*

How's tricks?

[the-damsel.livejournal.com]

April sat down at the bar with a coy smirk. "You're a redhead," she observed. She looked devious.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard cocks an eyebrow*

Am I, really? I'd no idea.

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

And there's Bartleby, slipping between a couple of patrons deftly to approach the Bar. "Sorry I didn't find you before," he says without preamble.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard blinks.*

Well, look what the cat dragged in.

How are you?

[youalleverybody.livejournal.com]

Liam takes a break from playing to head over and get a drink.

"Hey, Bernard. Glass of claret, then, please."

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Sure thing, Liam.

*Bernard smiles as he pours the wine out and sets it before him.*

How're you?

[aj_crawley]

*Crowley shifties up to the bar, with a package under his arm*

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard doesn't notice him at first cause he's busy and his min's fingers are covered in pizza sauce.*

...Hey. Get you a drink?

[nonookie4u.livejournal.com]

Strata sits herself down at the bar, waving her face with her hand.
"Hey Bernard. I want to try something new. What's good and non-alcoholic and cold?"

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Gosh. Just about anything.

Ever had a Shirley Temple?

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

"Hey stranger." It's the other pyromaniac, for once not plotting how to blow something up. Possibly because since she now has such a wide range of options, she's having trouble choosing. The trials of a tweenage pyro.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard grins*

Hey, Ace. Get you a drink?

[balletrat]

Hey, Bernard.

*Meg heads over, looking calm. And tired.*

Could I ask you for a favor maybe?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Hey, Meg. Sure.

[sai_delgado]

Susan perches on a barstool and sets to work unwrapping a broom-shaped package.

With a glance at the growing crowd around the bar, she contents herself with a smile and a wave at the busy Bernard, and apparently seems unwilling to disturb him.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard sees the broom and watches her unwrap it when he can. He shoots her a smile now and then.*

[clumsy_auror]

*Yawning, Nymphadora meanders out of the staff wing. She rubs one eye and then pulls the sleeves of her black jumper down over her hands before sliding onto a stool.*

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard's looking increasingly harried as he tends Bar, but he walks over when he can and kisses her, smiling.*

Hey. You had a long nap.

[young_tmriddle]

Hullo, Bernard. Looks like you're swamped this evening.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard grins, a little red and sweaty, but happy.*

No shit. Get you anything?

[bedside-manners.livejournal.com]

Janet has been on the lookout for the head barman ever since her conversation with Barry Allen. When she sees a red-haired man tending the bar, Janet remembers the description that Mr. Allen gave her.

"Excuse me, are you the head barman?" she asks curiously as she steps up to the bar.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Wargh! Missed this! You still around?]

Yeah, I am.

*Bernard smiles and approaches.*

Get you a drink?
