It's not every day a certain struggling artist opens the door to what she thinks is the illegal sublet she shares (with her best friend, another photogenic young artist) and ends up walking into some kind of bar (where said friend is nowhere to be found ( Read more... )

"New here, huh?"

Murdock's sitting on a barstool, idly spinning himself around, and grinning.

"It does that."

Her eyes track his movement as he slowly spins.

And then she shakes her head and refocuses.

"Does what?"

"Just opens up on ya, then leaves ya with no immediate means out." He smiled, "It means you're supposed to pull up a seat and hang around for a while."

Lacey wrinkles up her nose at the apparent hopelessness of the situation.

"Oh, phooey."

"Aw, c'mon. It ain't that bad. Promise. Cross my heart an' hope to die," he added, making a little 'x' across his chest.

"That has yet to be determined," she says, nodding decisively.

But sits on a stool just the same.

"See? Ya on the right path already!" he grins at her, then sticks out a hand. "Murdock. Pleasure to be meetin'. Get ya a drink?"

confrontspeak August 7 2009, 02:20:31 UTC

"Lacey," she says, and smiles brightly as she takes the hand offered to her.

"I can't turn you down there."

She lets go of the hand to start an idle spin of her own.

He chuckles as he waves a waitrat over. "Pretty name. What'll it be?"

confrontspeak August 8 2009, 17:24:30 UTC

Her grin widens. "Thanks!"

And while her first instinct in a bar is to proceed to get hammered, it doesn't sound like too much fun without Dub-Dub around.

"Mmm. Maybe just a Hurricane to start."

nam_flyer August 8 2009, 22:44:36 UTC

"To start?" he smirks. "Sounds like you might be stickin' around for a bit," he says teasingly.

He nods at the waitrat. "Hurricane for the lady, a beer for me."

He doesn't really drink, but one won't kill him.

"Well, my door seems to have done this thing where it's disappeared, so I guess I'm sorta stuck until it does."

She doesn't seem too bothered by this.

"That's not a prob. They got rooms here. Reasonable rates, too. Take all forms of money. Or you could bunk with someone who's willing to share some space. Bar does a good job of looking after her customers."

This last is said rather as if the bar was some kind of person.
