The First Day - Origin [Action]

Mar 14, 2011 16:58

[It's been a week now since Bruce landed in Luceti. Being the detective he is renowned for back home, he was quick to study Luceti, the guide, and other aspects about the place as quickly as he could. Being caught unprepared might be lethal. So when he was confident he had absorbed enough through the guide, simple experimentation, and the like ( Read more... )

What can I get you?

[ the barmaid at good spirits will stop by his table -- or perhaps his barstool if he's not at a table? -- with a polite smile. ]

[Action] nocapesorcowls March 14 2011, 22:42:42 UTC

[He looks over to her from his stool. He's up at the bar, but it's pretty quiet in here right now.]

Just a cup of coffee for me, thanks.

[Action] slaying March 14 2011, 22:44:24 UTC

Sure. And you take it...?

[ she slips behind the bar and deposits a few empties collected from a table across the room. ]

[Action] nocapesorcowls March 14 2011, 22:45:26 UTC

Black's fine, miss...?

[ she smirks over her shoulder while attending to the coffee machine. ] Buffy Summers. You've got that new car smell equivalent thing going on. [ that is -- she's been around long enough that not many people need to ask her name. ] Just landed?

[Action] nocapesorcowls March 14 2011, 22:48:47 UTC

[He gives a light chuckle and a smile back at the remark. This one's got wit, it seems.]

Last week. Name's Gaff Morgan.

[Action] slaying March 14 2011, 22:51:01 UTC

Gaff, huh? [ quite the name. but then again, who is she to criticize on odd names? buffy reaches to her left for a nice, wide mug. ]

Sorry about that...I doubt bizarro wing world was really part of your vacation plans.

[Action] nocapesorcowls March 14 2011, 22:55:17 UTC

Can't say it was. So, any pearls of wisdom for a little bird who hasn't had his first real flight yet?

[Action] slaying March 14 2011, 22:57:52 UTC

[ she pours the cup of coffee with a steady, familiar hand. ] Don't lose the wings, for one thing. That's kind of a big one. But -- as far as wisdom pearls go they're usually oh-so-far removed from anything resembling either wisdom or pearls.

[ she pops the mug onto a saucer and slides the two across the bar top to 'guff'. ] But tip number one? Always stay on your barmaid's good side.

[Action] nocapesorcowls March 14 2011, 22:59:37 UTC

[He raises the mug in a toast to her when it slides in front of her.]

That's good advice no matter where you are. Thanks.

[Action] slaying March 14 2011, 23:01:22 UTC

I wouldn't really know...here is kind of my first real beverage serving gig. [ a beat. ] So enjoy the coffee and please remember that there's no actual money to sue anyone for, here -- just in case you get food poisoning or something.

[ this is like a crash course in buffy summers humour. in truth, the coffee won't be so bad. it won't be amazing, but it won't be bad. ]

[Action] nocapesorcowls March 15 2011, 01:49:51 UTC

I'll keep that in mind. [And he takes a sip of the coffee.] Though I would hope that's not part of some diabolical scheme perpetuated by whoever is in charge here.

[Action] slaying March 15 2011, 01:51:25 UTC

The money thing? Oh. It's diabolical -- they wanna keep their captives comfy, I guess.

[Action] nocapesorcowls March 15 2011, 02:31:08 UTC

I meant the food poisoning. Not having money is something I might just be able to get used to.

[Action] slaying March 15 2011, 07:04:48 UTC

Oh -- no the food poisoning would just be all my particular brand of incompetent. But the money thing? It's nice. Niceish. Refreshing, I guess, to not be hounded for bills.

[Action] nocapesorcowls March 15 2011, 18:31:10 UTC

Or taxes.

[Hey. Everyone hates taxes, right?]
