003 ♂ [voice || A Central Bar]

Mar 17, 2011 15:22

There are various noises coming a short distance away from the microphone, including chatter, chairs being pulled out, music, and the sound of liquid filling a glass. A gruff voice, much closer to the tablet says, "Gimme another." Then a pause. "They're still free, right ( Read more... )

Rose listened to what she assumed was an accidental broadcast and she was focused on only one thing.

"The drinks are free?"

She couldn't remember the last time she had a decent drink and after hearing that, it only became much more appealing. Except Rose didn't know exactly where the bar was.

Jayne jumped a little at the voice coming from his tablet. Couldn't a man have his privacy without the damn aliens turning on his tablet?

Sliding it closer, he replied, "Yeah, all month. Cuz of some ol' holiday back on Earth-what-was where ya drank yourself unconscious. Or at least that's how I understand it."

"Well, I definitely have to come along now. Thanks for the information."

Rose was about to leave her room when she stopped and spoke again.

"Um, could you tell me where the bar is? I'm fairly new here."

[voice] mercenaryacare March 20 2011, 04:58:23 UTC

"Uhh," Jayne paused to scratch at his stubble. "In the center of the city somewhere. Got a lot of green shit up in the windows..." He trailed off, then picked up his tablet and tried to get to the map.

"Hold on, lemme see..." He found his dot and read off the street name for her. "There ya go. Lookin' forward to seein' if you're as pretty as you sound."

Rose made a careful note to look out for the 'green shit' when she left her room to find the bar. And also to use her device more often.

"Thanks," she said. But whether or not that was for the directions or how pretty her voice sounded to him was up for debate.

Switching off her device, Rose left her room and went out onto the street, catching a ride on one of the trams that led her to the centre of the city. She could have just ran there of course but she wanted to appear as normal as possible and not use her vampire speed.

After a few minutes of searching, Rose found the street and then the bar, entering it through the door. It was then that she realised she probably should have asked the man she spoke to what his name was, but judging by his use of language and tone, Rose was sure she'd spot him fairly quickly.

She was sure to find him quickly, as he was shouting at the bartender at the other end of the bar to refill his drink. He banged his glass on the counter, saying, "Barkeep! Baaaaaarkeep! Need 'nother!"

[location: central bar] rose_tainted March 20 2011, 23:04:06 UTC

Rose would have been able to hear him from miles away if he wasn't already being so loud. Having enhanced senses could be handy at times. At the sound of his yelling, she walked towards the bar and slid into the stool beside him.

"Hey. I'm the girl you gave directions to." She held out a hand. "I'm Rose. It's nice to meet you."

[location: central bar] mercenaryacare March 21 2011, 03:04:13 UTC

Jayne blinked in surprise at how there had been an empty stool beside him, but now there was an attractive woman sitting there. He grinned broadly and took her hand, giving it a firm shake.

"Hell, I'm glad I turned out givin' directions to someone as purdy as you. It don't get much better'n this!"

[location: central bar] rose_tainted March 21 2011, 11:43:29 UTC

After they shook hands, Rose took hers back and rested it on top of the bar, idly drumming her fingers on it for a moment. She returned the grin.

"It will get much better once the free drinks start coming."

And with that, she turned to the bartender and ordered a scotch for herself.

[location: central bar] mercenaryacare March 21 2011, 23:15:14 UTC

Once she looked away, he tilted his head and took a good look at her body, grinning in appreciation.

"Scotch, huh? That's a good choice."

[location: central bar] rose_tainted March 22 2011, 01:03:28 UTC

The bartender set her drink in front of Rose and she picked it up, swirling a little before taking a much needed sip. With a grin, she turned back to Jayne.

"I'm glad to see that someone has taste."

[location: central bar] mercenaryacare March 22 2011, 17:21:33 UTC

"Well I don't like to toot my own horn, but I know a good thing when I see it." Of course, he wasn't talking about the drink there.

[location: central bar] rose_tainted March 22 2011, 18:02:19 UTC

Of course, Rose picked up on that. A little flirtation was something she needed. She smiled, setting her glass down before leaning in.

"Oh yeah? So do I." She traced her finger over the rim of her glass. "What's your name, then?"

[location: central bar] mercenaryacare March 22 2011, 20:18:50 UTC

"Jayne," he replied, waggling a brow at her. "What's yours?"

[location: central bar] rose_tainted March 22 2011, 21:06:38 UTC

"My name is Rose," she said, giving him a little smirk. "That's an interesting name you have there."

[location: central bar] mercenaryacare March 22 2011, 23:16:42 UTC

"S'pose so. But trust me, I'm allllll man." He braced an elbow on the bar and leaned in towards her.
