The Bar at the End of the Universe

Justin comes in yawning and rubbing his hair, mussing it untidily. He's not long out of bed but he remembers why he signed up for an early shift today. He's got a big night planned. Seeing as it's morning though, and Saturday at that, he makes sure the Specials board reflects it.

SPECIALS

Coffee - all varieties
Tea - all varieties
Hot Chocolate

These hot drinks come with one free cake or danish.

There's a selection of cupcakes, muffins, danish or doughnuts arranged nicely on plates.

'Bar's open!'


[OOC: May be sporadic as offspring demands, but post open until about 8pm GMT.]

Justin is getting annoyed with his own lack of inspiration when it comes to bartending at the moment but the truth is, his head is so full of school and, well...Brian, he'd almost forgotten he was supposed to work at all.

SPECIALS

Irish Coffee
Stout

Rum
Daquaris

Milk


There. Something for everyone.

'Bar's open.'


[OOC: Open for three hours; apologies if slow, baby is restless tonight.]

It's been a long day after a long night and the last thing Justin feels like doing now is working. But it's his job and he always tries to do his best (totally gets a massive coffee from bar before she goes to sleep).

SPECIALS

Anything uncomplicated



...OK, that's not his best. But it really is all he's capable of today.

'Bar's open.'

Justin rushes into the bar, dragging a bag of books behind him. He's still in his school uniform and is quite obviously in between classes.

'Sorry, Bar. Couldn't get back to my...door.'

He's out of breath as he dumps his bag and grabs something to write on the board with. And then...comes up blank.

SPECIALS

Half off if I like your order

He knows it's lame but he's so late, it's all he's got.

'Bar's open.'


[Beautiful!tag: Brian Kinney

OOC: Must call slowtime, starting to feel rough. Thanks for tagging, will pick everything up tomorrow. :D]

Scotland clearly doesn't get cold in fall. Although...he thinks it was pretty damn freezing here last year, if memory serves. Still, mild or not, the leaves are dropping and it's coming up on Halloween so it's time for a shift that embraces that.

Besides, he's tired.

SPECIALS

Autumnal Equinox
Hot Cider
Hot Chocolate (with or without whipped cream. And amaretto.)

He got bar to provide the cider, in case you were worried.

'Bar's open.'


[OOC: Got to call slowtime slightly early, not feeling great.]

Justin hadn't expected to find a door into the bar today - he's not 'tending, as far as he knows. But then he catches what the date is here and it jogs a memory or two. He's been around on the last two years when there was a table set up for National Coming Out Day. But today? He doesn't see one and that has to be rectified. So, after a quick conversation with Bar he heads over to a table with some supplies and ten minutes later, there's a big sign up.

NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY
Come get your freak on

He hopes no one minds him doing this but figures what the hell. He's taken a prompt from the last time he saw this and most of the table is taken up with nametag stickers proudly stating "I Am ________ And I'm Proud Of It!". His own is filled in with "I'm Gay and Proud Of It!".

He's put out of few plates of cookies and jugs of soda and rainbow flags adorn the edges of the tables and the chairs nearby. Come grab a badge and hang out with people as weird as you!


[OOC: Backroom post up here. Open all the way through Tuesday!

01:30: Going to have to call it a night, I'm dozing off at the computer here. Thanks so much everyone, this has been a blast! I'll pick everything up tomorrow and new threads are still welcome. :)]

Justin normally approaches his bartending shifts with enthusiasm and professionalism. He's a hard worker and realises the importance of doing a good job.

Today...today, has not been a good day. For one thing, it was only this morning, by his time, that he was here for his last shift. For another, his homeroom teacher let other kids openly abuse him and then displayed his own homophobia by refusing to step in on his behalf.

And so, there are no specials on the board. He'll probably give everyone half-off anyway, especially if they're nice to him.

'Bar's open.'


[OOC: So sorry y'all, my connection just wont cooperate tonight. I'll pick everything up tomorrow, I was enjoying the threads. *sigh*]

Justin has stayed in the bar since his last shift, mostly out of morbid curiousity. And he debated whether this theme was crass or not but in the end decided, why not? If there are reminders around the place, maybe people will think of something that could help.

SPECIALS

Cuban Crime of Passion
Murder in the Forest
Purple Problem Solver

Also, obviously, it's an excellent source of gossip.

'Bar's open.'


[OOC: pretty much in slowtime now, but may tag back a time or two before I finally crash. Thanks all!]

It's Saturday night and that means only one thing in Justin's world - time to party. Of course, he totally wasn't expecting to go through the door to the back room of Babylon and find himself in Milliways instead.

Bummer. And double bummer, when he discovers that he's got a shift scheduled behind the bar. But! Never mind - Justin can party anywhere. His ipod comes out and dance music starts blaring as he writes on the Specials board:

SPECIALS

Kori's Saturday Night Special
Sunset (Night Club)
Gentleman's Club

Let's revive an old favourite - if you're shirtless, drink half price.


'Come get it, people.'


[Tiny vampire!tag; Nikola Tesla]

[OOC: closed to new threads, thanks.]

Justin is hungover, and looks it. He is also wearing his school uniform and doesn't have time to go change. And so, in keeping with his mood, the Specials board reads thusly;

If I like the sound of what you order, half off

And then there is slumping on a stool, trying gamely to look like he's not trying to fall asleep on the job. Teenagers, eh?

'Oh, yeah...uh, Happy Hour's open.'

Justin would totally have been on time tonight, if it weren't for his mun being too polite to say 'no' to a market researcher. Therefore, he escapes his usual curt note from Bar when he arrives for work.

SPECIALS

Tequila
Rum
Scotch

Someone is feeling emo and uninspired this evening. Lets hope the bar is fortified against moody teenagers.


[OOC: LJ is acting up for me so apologies for any slow. Also, going to ask for any threads to be wrapped this evening please, as I have a lot going on the next few days. Say thankya!]

And even more late in Daylight Savings...Justin had no idea that the Milliways timeline was as far forward as this, and gapes a bit at the curt note he receives from Bar before she switches off.

...he may have just worked out that he's not as old as he thinks he is. Anyway! What with the Late and all, he has no time to search for specials and so the board reads;

Name me a cocktail that makes me laugh, get it for free. Has to be real!

Given that he laughs a lot, this one should be easy.

'We're go for Happy Hour, everyone.'
