The Devil's Nest: Saturday, 19 November

Nov 19, 2011 20:00

Bo: not on a milk crate this week, nor was there chocolate sauce on the bar and whipped cream in her hair. She was, however, on her phone, if you count poking at the app buttons as "on."

While she'd never gotten into Twitter before now, since her life had mostly depended on keeping a low profile and not spewing things out to the rest of the ( Read more... )

The Bar [11/19] nookiepowered November 20 2011, 01:02:41 UTC

Where your bartender was pondering a user ID and already preparing her negative responses to any suggestions from certain people involving the words nookie or boobs.

"Why does it seem like half the island is crankily jabbing at their tiny phones today?" Joan asked as she sauntered up to the bar to take a seat. Was it better to get away from the office to drink? Probably. Did she get discounted liquor here, though? Also very probable. She'd worn her hair down, at least, and changed into something more appropriate for evening.

Bo. BO.

Your Twitter username should NOT be "boobsboobsboobs." NO.

Was Bo helpfully illustrating that jabbing at a tiny phone now? Very probable.

"Um. Hi." She asked a question, Bo. "I can't speak for everybody, but I'm trying to set up an account so I can verbally abuse an annoying company."

Re: The Bar [11/19] unlimitedgoals November 20 2011, 01:19:58 UTC

"Hi," Joan replied, smirking a little as she tilted her head. "Any annoying company in particular? Is it that portal-thingy that they mentioned on the radio? I really tune that poor boy out more than I should, but it's just so hard to hear the news over how irritating he is."

Re: The Bar [11/19] nookiepowered November 20 2011, 01:28:33 UTC

"That one, yeah." Her eyes were... up there. Right. "I haven't used them in months, and they still sent me junk mail."

Re: The Bar [11/19] unlimitedgoals November 20 2011, 01:35:24 UTC

"So annoying," Joan tsked. She was somewhat used to that reaction, yes, though generally less from women. She was just going to roll with it, yes. "I'd expect an influx of customers looking to drink away their frustration. Though I'm just here because it's been too long since I've had a decent martini."

Re: The Bar [11/19] nookiepowered November 20 2011, 01:38:46 UTC

"It's a good thing you picked this weekend to hit the island, then," said Bo, who while she knew that Eric had hired an assistant, didn't know that this was her. "Last Saturday all the booze turned into ice cream, milk, and syrup."

Re: The Bar [11/19] unlimitedgoals November 20 2011, 01:41:39 UTC

"That fits with the influx of children," Joan agreed, making a face. "I've been here two weeks or so, actually. Just in time for the little brats to make me watch them play on the slides and mistake me for their mommies. I actually work here, too." She reached a hand out across the bar (to shake, of course, not to grope or anything) with a smile. "Joan Holloway. I'm Mr. Northman's daytime assistant."

Re: The Bar [11/19] nookiepowered November 20 2011, 01:55:00 UTC

No groping, check. Shaking, Bo could handle. "Well, then hi, again, only with an employee discount and more appreciation of Eric's good taste. I'm Bo. Jones." Since she wasn't wearing a tag that boldly proclaimed a surname she hadn't gone by in ten years, this week. "I was, um. One of those kids."

Re: The Bar [11/19] unlimitedgoals November 20 2011, 01:58:18 UTC

"I heard that might be the case. Not about you in particular, of course," Joan said, lifting a brow delicately. "But I did meet a little blond boy who spoke Swedish and called himself Eric while flinging himself around the playground. I had sort of hoped it was a particularly amusing hallucination."

Re: The Bar [11/19] nookiepowered November 20 2011, 02:03:16 UTC

"He was in here too." Bo grinned. "Little me made him a milkshake so full of sugar that if he weren't a vampire he'd probably have diabetes now."

Re: The Bar [11/19] unlimitedgoals November 20 2011, 02:05:12 UTC

"Weren't a what now?" Yeah, Joan hadn't clued in on the whole nocturnal, coffin-in-the-basement thing exactly yet.

Re: The Bar [11/19] nookiepowered November 20 2011, 02:17:26 UTC

"...Ooops?" At least of the three vampires she knew, it was the outest and proudest she'd managed to accidentally spill the blood beans on. "Sorry, I figured he'd filled you in when he hired you."

Re: The Bar [11/19] unlimitedgoals November 20 2011, 02:27:42 UTC

"...nope, just the whole nocturnal thing. Which, you know, I thought was strange, but...vampire. Huh." Joan calmly dug into her purse for a cigarette and her lighter, thoughtfully inhaling. "He's not dangerous, is he? I mean, girl to girl, he's not gonna bite me if I mess up his dry-cleaning, is he?"

Re: The Bar [11/19] nookiepowered November 20 2011, 02:56:20 UTC

"Congratulations on the least freaking out I've ever seen from somebody hearing that." Which list would be... herself and Kenzi, yes. "I wouldn't say he's not dangerous, but he's...practical. And really aware of PR. Girl to girl..." Pardon Bo if that was a distracting thought. "He's only likely to bite you if you ask nicely."

Re: The Bar [11/19] unlimitedgoals November 20 2011, 03:02:59 UTC

"The chances of that are slim to none," Joan said, shaking her head. "Much though that looks like fun, I've made the whole mixing business with pleasure mistake enough times to learn. Though." She tapped out a little of her ash. "'Vampire' would be a new one."
