Happy Hour!

Suzi slipped in from the supply closet in San Francisco (confused, and holding a box of coffee filters) and blinked around for a moment before getting summarily begged to run happy hour and dumped behind Bar

And Bonzo is down, grabbing dinner. Dooku is around somewhere not too far off, in case a certain Belgian Plot Device appears, to make sure that things don't boil over, but for now, he's giving the kid just a little space. The kid needs it. So, he's sitting at the Bar. "Could I have a...soda?" He decides, for better or worse, that he doesn't want to get drunk.

"What...kind of soda?" Suzi asks, looking at the list of them with bemusement, "There's a lot."

[mandercommander]

Bonzo ponders. "Coke?" He's had that before; not bad.

[sime_channel]

"Alright." She sets the list down with relief and pulls a coke for the young man, "I have no idea what I'm doing."

[mandercommander]

Bonzo blinks for a second as she says that. "You look familiar...have we met before?" He's met a rather large number of people, both in here and...elsewhere.

[sime_channel]

"I have no idea." Suzi says in return, "I meet a lot of people."

[mandercommander]

That's perfectly fair. "Yeah...this place attracts quite an interesting crowd." Pause. "Beats back home."

[sime_channel]

"I don't know your home. Mine is San Francisco, we get lots of interesting people there. Most of them don't even stare at my arms much."

[mandercommander]

San Francisco. He's never been there... "I'm from Spain...originally." And the arms now get a second glance. "What..." He shakes his head. "Do I even want to know?"

"Symbiotic sub-mutation of a sub-species of humanity." Suzi says with a laugh, "I'm from the future."

[mandercommander]

And one of those moments of revelation hits him. "I remember meeting you now...it's been a long time." Try about two-three years from his POV. "Sorry I didn't recognize you right off-hand."

[sime_channel]

"That's alright." Suzi says, "I'm just another person. I've been pretty busy myself."

[mandercommander]

Bonzo shrugs. "So, how've you been?" Vague interest plus an attempt to get his mind off of...other things equals conversation-making.

[sime_channel]

"Um. Slightly crazy, sane again, dealing with a Householder going totally insane, enjoying sex with Whistler, helping Whistler with work, cleaning things, annoying Mother by cleaning things...busy."

[mandercommander]

You know what? Outside of biology class, that's the first time Bonzo has heard the word that rhymes with six mentioned...the locker room notwithstanding...in a long time. "Sounds like it." Pause. "And you're bartending her now, too...not bad."

[sime_channel]

"Only tonight." Suzi says, "I'm not sure what's up with Mikey, but he asked me to fill in for him."
