Happy Hour

Jul 16, 2009 10:45

All Kara wanted was a soda. Which, truthfully, she does get, but it's accompanied by a napkin. She stares, reads it twice, and eyes the bar suspiciously. "Seriously? I don't know how to do this." Bar helpfully supplies a comprehensive bartender's guide, which takes maybe five minutes to read through.

Okay, then.

Riggins can definitely get behind a happy hour.

He slides onto a barstool and glances over at Kara through long hair.

"What's a Farmer's Cocktail?"

kandorian July 16 2009, 17:21:43 UTC

Kara's found, through observation here and elsewhere, most people can.

"Half an ounce Dry Vermouth, Half an ounce Sweet Vermouth, one ounce Gin and two dashes of Bitters. Stir all ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and serve."

Yes, she just quoted from the book.

"What, d'you memorize it or somethin'?"

His lips quirk into an amused smirk.

kandorian July 16 2009, 17:27:16 UTC

"Something like that." Cue head tilt. "You old enough to be drinking?"

Cause he looks younger than Clark.

"I see you got roped in pretty quickly." Charlie is at eye level this time (having just come in from his morning jog and noontime meditation).

kandorian July 16 2009, 17:28:12 UTC

"Hey, Charlie." Kara gently pats the bar and tries not to hold a grudge. "Guess she thought I was responsible or somethin'."

Ha!

"Or she thinks it's funny. From what I hear, the head barman isn't very qualified, either." Funny that he's never actually met Mike, though.

"Not that I do much in the way of alcohol, but care to tell me about these drinks?"

kandorian July 16 2009, 17:40:07 UTC

"Does Bar have a sense of humor?" That hadn't occurred to her as a possibility.

"Well, Farmer's Cocktail has a lot of Vermouth, Gin and something called Bitters. The Sun Shake has orange juice, vanilla ice cream and milk, and Star Burst has strawberry and banana liqueur, peach schnapps, ice cream and milk."

Will's been tired of late and smiles when he sees Happy Hour,

"What's in a Sun Shake, milady?"

kandorian July 16 2009, 17:53:04 UTC

"Milk, ice cream and orange." For the most part. "Milady?"

"Sounds tasty, I'll try one o'those. Oh aye, was 'ow I was taught to address a lady. I'm Will Scarlett from the reign o'Richard the Lion'eart an Nottingham, England."

kandorian July 16 2009, 18:08:08 UTC

"Then I'll make one." It's a testament to her concentration, and the whine of the blender, that she doesn't react right away to his time period. "Really? Like all those documentaries on the history chanel?"

And then, "Kara Kent. From Kansas." It's kind of an afterthough once she sets down his shake.

Clark doesn't make his way into the bar as much as he'd like anymore. It makes for one lonely farmkid, since this is where he and his girlfriend have to meet up. And she doesn't appear to be around tonight.

That's okay, though. He's heading back home when the specials board catches his eye. Those are his favourite colours, after all. And a Farmer's Cocktail? Sounds kind of fun--

"Kara?"

kandorian July 16 2009, 23:26:20 UTC

Kara is just about at the end of her shift now, casually wiping down the bar like they do in the movies that her cousin sometimes watches. And, you know, this has been fun. She met some nice people, and kind of got a not-really-date out of one of them, even if he's a little young.

... and speaking of cousins, her head shoots up, and the cleaning of counters is summarily forgotten.

"Hi, Kal." Pause. "I mean Clark."

hero_farmboy July 16 2009, 23:36:05 UTC

Ever seen a supersped bear hug? You have now.

"Where have you been?"

kandorian July 16 2009, 23:38:40 UTC

Nnnnng. Okay, then. Kara isn't quite sure what's going on, mainly because he was kind of tiptoeing around her earlier. Well, not literally, but still.

"Here? I thought time stopped outside the bar."

It feels really weird, but she'll hug him back almost as tightly. Baby cousin and all.

"What makes it happy?"

kandorian July 17 2009, 12:58:41 UTC

"I assume drunk people feel happy."

lockitwithkeys July 17 2009, 18:41:27 UTC

"...That's stupid." Roxas' voice doesn't change inflection at the right times. He's like a little robot that just - doesn't - get the whole emotion thing.

kandorian July 17 2009, 18:43:25 UTC

"Or illogical. Take your pick." Kara can do the cold, unemotional Kryptonian thing with the best of them.
