The Bar [5:00-8:00, before the dates] bluth_illusions September 17 2011, 02:17:11 UTC

There's no regular Saturday bartender, so mod Tino for the three hours before the dates.

Feel free to get sloshed before 8:00!

Bruce had turned these dates into a habit. And since it was a habit, he was here at their normal time, quickly becoming annoyed that he didn't know it was going to change.

Still, once Billionaire Playboy Bruce Wayne entered an event, he was going to stick around for it, appearing to drink. Tino was going to get a good tip to keep the ginger ale flowing.

Chuck was the exact opposite of almost all those things used to describe Bruce. It was ironic really, that they'd ended up living together. Or possibly fortuitous, because the chance they'd want room the room for Time With Girls at the same time was low.

"You seem like the dating type," Chuck noted, as he took a stool near Bruce. "You don't happen to have any foolproof advice, do you?" It was worth asking. All he'd got before was 'be yourself', but himself was a flaily nerd and that wasn't generally a hit with the ladiez.

Re: The Bar [5:00-8:00, before the dates] willbethenight September 17 2011, 13:07:40 UTC

"Sure," Bruce said, putting his drink down. "Keep it simple. It's only three minutes, so all you really need to do is have a nice conversation and see if you'd like to continue it later. And if things go badly, at least you have a fresh start with someone else right after."

'Be yourself' was good advice, too, but Bruce had no business giving it.

Re: The Bar [5:00-8:00, before the dates] knowsnokungfu September 17 2011, 14:54:41 UTC

"Right. Keep it simple, don't freak out." Well, that was what Chuck was taking from that, and he raised his glass of Coke, taking a swig like it was something a bit harder than that.

"I did this once before, and it didn't end in tears. Mine or anyone else's. Which is a positive."

Re: The Bar [5:00-8:00, before the dates] willbethenight September 17 2011, 15:02:43 UTC

"So you know it's not all that bad," Bruce said. "But I think you can probably aim higher than 'no crying' this time."

Re: The Bar [5:00-8:00, before the dates] knowsnokungfu September 17 2011, 15:04:53 UTC

"I also got a birthday party out of the last one," Chuck offered. "So maybe it went a little better than 'no crying'."

Re: The Bar [5:00-8:00, before the dates] willbethenight September 17 2011, 15:12:46 UTC

"Then this one may be a step back," Bruce said. "But only because you won't get presents after this one."

"I don't know, this year it's tomorrow, which is technically covered by after..." Ellie kept asking him if he'd got any mail, which suggested at least she was sending something.

Re: The Bar [5:00-8:00, before the dates] willbethenight September 17 2011, 15:29:10 UTC

"Clever," Bruce deadpanned. "I hope you're okay with getting an envelope with cash in it from me. I didn't have much warning, after all."

"I should be able to find a card before tomorrow, too."

Re: The Bar [5:00-8:00, before the dates] knowsnokungfu September 17 2011, 15:30:59 UTC

"You don't have to do that," Chuck assured him. "But hey, I was thinking celebratory pizza, if you want in?"

Re: The Bar [5:00-8:00, before the dates] willbethenight September 17 2011, 15:49:29 UTC

"I insist on at least paying for a birthday cake. It's one of your perks when you have a rich roommate," Bruce said.

Re: The Bar [5:00-8:00, before the dates] knowsnokungfu September 17 2011, 18:03:23 UTC

Chuck laughed. "You know, I had not been told that before." Possibly because Bruce just made it up, he assumed. "If you want to bring cake, I'm not going to stop you. That would be pretty dumb of me."

Lucrezia had received his note in class, but had not found the words to craft a reply. That did not mean he was not owed one.

She approached Bruce hesitantly, then bowed her head respectfully.

"I owe you quite the apology," she said. "One I haven't the words to begin."

Re: The Bar [5:00-8:00, before the dates] willbethenight September 17 2011, 19:38:43 UTC

"You don't owe me anything," Bruce said kindly. "Neither of us were remotely ourselves. And I survived."

And, well, the poisoning had been kind of worth it considering what came before it. Ahem.

[Sorry! I missed this notification!]

"It's monstrous, to think one's self capable of such cruelty," she said, shaking her head. "I do not understand what my motives were to have been. I collected men as though I were collecting baubles."

Unable to resist her curiosity, she added, "Have you a resistance to la cantarella, or did I administer it improperly?"
