why didn't you talk me out of this?

[i_seethestrals]

[ Tiny blonde witches were probably not what Tom had in mind for his clientele. Nevertheless, one had found herself opening the doors, peeking into the place.

Maybe she was lost? Maybe she was looking for someone? Maybe she--

Maybe she was seating herself at the bar, feet dangling off the seat, rocking back and forth to a rhythm all their own. ]

you say that like i ever would.

[borntobewildcat]

[Okay, she definitely wasn't the type of person that he expected to ever show up in this bar, but it wasn't wholly unwelcome, except for the fact that she definitely didn't look twenty-one.

Still, he walked over to where she sat, and leaned against the bar.]

You don't seem like you're lost, but you're definitely a new face. Can I get you anything?

sob you're right i should've known.

[i_seethestrals]

[ What are you talking about, Tom? She's... clearly a few months past eighteen! Still, she didn't seem to mind that that she was younger than the usual patrons. Or even notice, really. ]

Hm? Oh, no, definitely not lost. I just enjoy wandering around the City and finding all sort of new sights. And this place seemed like the place to be. Do you ever get that feeling? Like you should be somewhere, even if you've never been there before?

[ She smiles. ] Do you have any Gillywater?

lessons learned.

[borntobewildcat]

[Well, as long as she doesn't look under eighteen, it's alright for her to hang around. Not that he'd have kicked her, or anyone else, out anyway. He laughs, She's definitely interesting.]

Yeah, I think I get what you're talking about. Usually I have a bit of help in that, but when I first came here, I did the same thing, more or less, just wandering the City and getting lost until I find something interesting.

[He thinks for a moment, frowning a little.] I've never heard of that. What's it made with?

[girlverine]

[Laura hadn't been to the bar since she'd spoken to Selina, but now that Tom was running it her curiousity had returned, so she stepped inside quietly and looked around. Dressed in 'bar clothes' for a change, so a purple tank-top, black skirt, her fishnets and boots, at least she didn't stick out too badly, despite being young.]

[She considered the room for a long moment before she crossed it to the bar.]

[ex_julianhe]

[Julian spots Laura almost as soon as he arrives. She's pretty easy for him to spot anyway, but dressed like that he was hardly gonna not notice. He hesitates for a minute, then goes up to lean on the bar beside her.]

Hey. You look nice.

[girlverine]

[Laura notices Julian a moment or two before he reaches her, mostly by scent, but she doesn't turn towards him until he's close enough to speak. She just nods faintly at his comment.]

Thank you.

[ex_julianhe]

[He gives her a little smile.]

Can I get you a drink?

[free_dumb_ring]

[Curtis has been hanging around after his shifts to help out as well. And that's what he's doing tonight. He's whistling a tune he heard on the radio as he cleans up the bar, frowning at a sticky spot caused by a spilled drink. He chuckles as he gets to cleaning the spot.]

I still can't believe I've held a job down for this long...

[borntobewildcat]

[Tom just laughs a little, working on washing out all the glasses from that night and wiping them clean.]

What, did you think you'd be fired or something?

[free_dumb_ring]

Well, I had terrible luck keeping jobs back home. [He laughs.] Fired, quit, building destroyed by super battles. It was like the world was telling me to live on my couch.

[borntobewildcat]

Yeah, well, you've worked hard and done well here, I think. Good thing you did too, I would have been in trouble too. [He laughs as well, but it's a bit worrisome.] Oh, please don't jinx anything and get this place destroyed. Selina would murder me if anything happened.

[ex_julianhe]

[Julian is here out of curiosity, mainly. He's even sticking closer to the law than usual and hasn't ordered anything alcoholic yet. He's doing his usual and finding a booth near the back to sit in, and for now just watches the crowd.]

[borntobewildcat]

[Even thought the bar was a bit far from the far back booths, it didn't take long for Tom to notice that Julian sneaked in and was sitting alone. He and Tom still weren't on the best terms, but after their sparring session, he wanted to think that maybe things were just a little more comfortable, and that hopefully booze could handle the rest.]

What do you like to drink? [He asks curiously as he walks over to Julian's table.]

[ex_julianhe]

[Julian looks up and gives Tom a nod. Things have been better since the spar, yeah. Weird how it went that way sometimes, but at least he wasn't doing the crazy awkward thing anymore.]

Hey. Nice place you got here. [On the subject of drinks, he has no idea if you'll card him or not :| ] Beer mostly. But I'm good with coke.

[borntobewildcat]

[Tom doesn't say anything in response to the drink request before he turns around and walks back to the bar, leaving Julian to wonder which one he'd get, if anything.

When he returns, though, he carries two large mugs with the best beer on draft, setting one of them down in front of Julian before taking a seat.]

Most of them can't tell with imports anyway, since we come in all types, but if anyone asks, you're definitely over twenty-one. [He grins and takes a sip of his beer]

[ridethetiger]

[... Turtle, what? It's not often Ggio sees potential food just walk into a place.

Suddenly there is a shorty trailing way too close behind him with a Smilodon skull on his head.]

[ridethetiger]

[And he notices the not noticing, which noticeably bothers him!

So Like an Adult he sticks right Raph, and reaches out to... bat at the ends of his mask-scarf. Thing.]
