The Devil's Nest, Saturday Evening, 6/25

Jun 25, 2011 22:02

From the muttering that Bo was hearing from the end of the bar where Tiny leaned and poked at his phone, she gathered that tonight was going to be one of those nights where she'd probably have to keep half an eye on the customers herself. The bouncer was going to be too busy bitching at Tino -- either out loud or via text -- to be the first on the ( Read more... )

Scully would've been mystified by the fuss about it, even as her teenage side wanted a version badly.

"Gin and tonic, please." Yes, someone hadn't been in here before to know the different policies.

Bo gave her a look. "I can give you a tonic and you can come back in two years for the gin..."

Scully blinked, nonplussed. "This bar cards? I thought there was no drinking age on the island." And hey! She had an I.D. that said she was 36! "I'm thirty-six. Really." She started scrabbling in her purse for it.

"And my name is Bonita Marietta Rigoletta the third. Really." Bo... had an I.D. that said it was. Minus the third. Sue her for embellishing.

"Nice to meet you, Bonnie," Scully said with sarcasm, then held out her FBI ID-- which would have looked more convincing if she looked twenty years older. "That. Is me. I swear."

Look, she doesn't even want the drink that badly, but this irks.

"It's Bo, actually, but I'm still not allowed to serve anybody who looks under twenty-one--" Bo peered at the card and laughed. "Agent Scully. Eric's a little more worried about losing his liquor license than whoever owns Caritas."

"It's just Scully." Scully smacked her ID down, grumbling in disbelief. Trying not to sulk. "I did work for the FBI." Look how far she's come; a year ago, terrified to tell anyone, now, trying to prove it.

"Until you got caught in a mad scientist's shrink-ray?"

Right about now, to her credit, Bo was realizing that it was no less plausible a scenario than the fact that she worked for a Viking vampire.

Scully fidgeted, then said through her teeth, "A bad wish from a djinnayah, but yes. Now don't you think I deserve a drink?"

She did! She really really did! ... never mind that it was the stubborn teenager demanding it instead of the mature adult side of her head.

"A genie." That was the word she was taking away from that pronunciation. "You could try using one of your other two wishes to turn your tonic into gin. Or you could take it up with my boss." Bo grinned, maybe even a little sympathetically. "But I have to warn you, after Jessica, he's built up a tolerance to being bamboozled by underage redheads."

"They got used up before I got turned into... this." Stupid Mulder. Scully sighed, giving up for now, then grimacing. "Diet Coke, then. And please tell me that he's not letting Jessica talk him into anything *else*. That can't be good for his health."

"Diet Coke, I can do. With a little umbrella, even." Bo set about pouring one of those. "So far Jessica's just convinced him to let her tend bar when the island lands near places that don't have their own drinking age."

"Smart." Scully will probably never forgive Jessica for biting Mulder. "If he's not letting her do anything else, he's probably safe." Crabby. Slurrrrp.

"Safe?" Bo tried to picture Jessica being a danger to Eric in any way, and... well, maybe if she tried spiking his TruBlood with that Minoan beer.

Scully debated, but hey, it was on Radio. Not exactly news now. "She bit my FBI partner while he was here. Which, admittedly, he found fascinating," because he was stupid like that. "And she's promised not to do it again. I'm just not the forgiving type."

"I can see why you might hold a grudge," Bo agreed noncommittally because, well. "Pretty sure Eric's safe on that account, though." Except possibly from dying of laughter if Jessica tried to bite him against his will.
