The blonde who flounces into the bar - flounces would be as good a word as any to describe the way in which she throws herself into a chair, glaring at nothing in particular - is, in a word, annoyed"Can I have a drink, Bar? Please?" she asks, trying to throw a little extra affection into her voice on the hopes that she'll get something good

A man in his early thirties with pince-nez glasses and a prosthetic leg limps up to the bar and settles into a seat near Izzie. "Straight vodka, please."

[coconutextract]

Izzie takes a sip from her drink, glancing over at the man who's taken a seat next to her.

"That's what I asked for," she says, motioning to her fruity concoction.

[grumpyseer]

He frowns. "Huh. In those exact words?"

[coconutextract]

"Well, not exactly," Izzie admits, grinning.

[swinging_cod]

. . . pretty blonde.

Drinking.

Well, that's enough to get Jayne's interest right there.

He saunters over next to her, and says to the bar, "Whiskey. Finest in the house."

It's a MAN's drink. (And after his last time in Milliways, Jayne would like to reinforce that whole MAN thing, thanks.)

[coconutextract]

Izzie looks over with mild interest.

She's mostly concerned with finishing off her first drink in order to get to a stronger second drink.

But she does look over.

Jayne says: "View's better here tonight than the last couple times I been in."

This is accompanied with a decidedly appreciative leer; the combo is what passes for charming, with Jayne!

[coconutextract]

She raises an eyebrow, but neither the comment nor the leer is enough to turn her away.

She's dealt with plenty of both.

"You must've had a pretty crappy view then," Izzie finally says, smiling slightly.

Barney wanders down to the bar to grab some dinner, but instead spots Izzie looking pretty upset, even given how they met.

He's got a smile on his face by the time he walks over, even though he's a little concerned. "Hey, Izzie? You okay?"

[[OOC: Heading to bed, but wanted to tag before I did so. Hope that's okay!]]

[coconutextract]

It'll be a while before she has to do a double-take when she looks at him, but when she sees that it's Barney, she lights up.

"Hey," she replies, feeling a little better now that she sees a familiar face. "Just a rough day at the office, that's all. How're you?"

[blueshifted]

"I've been alright. Had a friend that convinced me to take up the base guitar again. Sorry to hear 'bout your day, though. At least there's Milliways, right?" He leans against the bar, not wanting to intrude on her space.

[coconutextract]

"Yeah? How's that going so far?" She swivels in her chair to face him better, abandoning her drink for the time being.

"Seriously. Thank God for Milliways."

[mr_ryan_wolfe]

"Back for seconds?"

[coconutextract]

"Lighter seconds, it seems," she says, holding up her drink.

[mr_ryan_wolfe]

He smiles as he nods." seems like a good idea. How you doing?"

[coconutextract]

"Good. Better," she adds, "now that I've got my handy drink here. That really wasn't the case a few hours ago."
