Happy Hour!

"Oh Grand Lady of the Mahogany Persuasion! I will take your finest port, and your finest wenches this eve. Start off with the port, and just keep the maids coming!"

A note appears instead.

"'Social Experiment'? Nay, Lady, I think you mean bar tending. But I--"

'ZzzzzZZzzzz...'Porthos blinks at the Bar. "She's sleeping," he mutters, blinking ( Read more... )

Spoon looks at the specials, frowns a bit, and says, "Protropon. Sommat from when Hektor was twenty or so."

Is the bartender amused?

"...You're joking, right?"

Because if you're not, and a bottle of wine survived Ancient Greece, you're so buying the bartender a round.

"This is Milliways." Spoon points out, "There's got to be a bottle back there somewhere. I hope. I like the taste of Protropon."

...Well, the bartender can't argue with that logic.

"It isn't French," he points out, turning around to examine the collection of wines. "But if it hasn't turned sour, I imagine it would be quite--Oh look!"

HE HAS COME UP VICTORIOUS!

Spoon gets a healthy goblet of wine, poured with much ceremony.

Hey, look, it's a maid! Just one who's waaaaaay too young for wine. Or being a wench!

Ingress laughs. "Hi. I'd like a milkshake, please."

Not exactly what Porthos was hoping for, no.

"...A what?"

Milk. Shake.

OH THE MENTAL IMAGES.

"A milkshake. You know, ice cream and milk? Shaken up?"

"Ice, cream, and milk?" asks Porthos, quite skeptically.

Ice? ICE?? What?!

"...Does it... have wine in it?"

He can do wine!

He begins looking around the Bar for this alleged "ice" the girl speaks of.

Here, at least, is someone who is (almost) of age.

But she can be very mature! When she's being threatened with rock-scrubbing, anyway.

"Please, may I have something to drink?"

Yeah, he's just going to stare.

(He's, uh, never seen a green person before.)

She bites her lip, not sure what to do next. Maybe he doesn't understand Basic?

"Um. Sir?"

"You are green."

Beat.

"And very lovely."

If Athos happens to vault himself (quite spectacularly, we might add) over the bartop to land on the side which his friend is occupying, with a dashing sweep of his tunic to boot...well, that's exactly what he does.

(He might have already been drinking, this evening.)

"Porthos!"

"You have always had a flare for the dramatic. It's rather annoying, as it takes the attention off of me."

Porthos turns to his friend and manages to (mostly) restrain a smirk.

"In good spirits, my friend? Or simply drinking them?"

"Who says I can't have both?"

Porthos gets an arm slung around his shoulders and a half-hug before Athos glances over at him.

"Wine. What are you drinking?"

"Typically one is the result of another," Porthos snorts, accepting the awkward embrace.

"I have yet to partake. I seem to be, uh, under new employment?

"Don't tell Aramis."

(That last bit is whispered with utter seriousness.)
