Happy Hour

Jan 21, 2011 18:53

Jane enters Milliways wearing a bonnet and jacket since she had stopped at an inn on the way to London with her brother and the Comtesse. When she asks Bar what's going on she is greeted by a little cake and a book along with a napkin ( Read more... )

"Miss Austen!"

Marguerite is surprised, certainly, to see her newest friend behind the bar. Surprised, and please to see her, but holding her in no different a regard for it; Lady Blakeney just isn't disposed that way.

"I did not believe this place hires bartenders."

jane_becomes January 22 2011, 00:07:28 UTC

"Good evening, Lady Blakeney. Milliways does not hire bartenders precisely. Instead Bar herself requests that you tend while she retires for a time. May I get you something?"

Another of Milliway's quirks that Marguerite finds utterly charming. She smiles as she regards the board.

"Claret, my dear, will do nicely. And would you have me tell you about my Armand?"

Though perhaps not the interesting bits.

"I would quite enjoy that, my lady, since I am currently traveling to meet Mister Lefroy and his uncle,"

Jane pours a small cup of claret and finds a stool behind the Bar so she can sit and listen.

"Good evening, Jane Austen!" Urquhart says, approaching the bar.

jane_becomes January 22 2011, 00:07:55 UTC

"Good evening, Urquhart. How does the evening find you?"

scots_wolf January 22 2011, 00:15:01 UTC

"I've got a little scratchy feeling in my throat," Urquhart says. "It's winter. A bit of tea would be nice."

jane_becomes January 22 2011, 00:16:51 UTC

"Then you shall have some so that you do not ail,"

She finds him an herbal tisane that should do his throat some good.

When Quatre spots her, he brightens.

"Ms. Austen," he says, tilting his head to her politely as he approaches. "It's a pleasure to see you again."

He inspects the blackboard for a moment, thoughtful.

"You as well, Mister Winner. Thank you for the generous gift. May I get you something to drink?"

The book will perhaps to help speed the hours to London.

It's only with her comment that he glances back and realizes she's just received it. "Oh, think nothing of it," he says, amiably, "I am glad that you think you might enjoy it, is all. I should have a rooibos tea, if you stock it. What type of story are you looking for? I have more than enough sisters to provide at least one."

jane_becomes January 22 2011, 04:21:07 UTC

"I would prefer something to make me laugh. Still I am grateful for it. I am currently traveling to London with my brother and a family friend so was curious about the family's of others,"

Jane quickly prepares the tea and sets it before him.

At one point, it would have been very safe to say that Miss Austen had never seen anyone dressed like Claudia before. As it is, the (currently) green stripe in her hair is probably new.
"Sibling stories?" she says, as she sits down on a stool.

jane_becomes January 22 2011, 00:52:24 UTC

The green stripe is unusual and Jane grins,

"Yes, I am traveling with my brother and would be glad of hearing how others either do or do not get along with their own siblings."

claudiometer January 22 2011, 01:12:53 UTC

"I can do that. It runs to the complicated side of things, though, fair warning."
Not because she and Joshua don't get along, but... well. Apparently, interdimensional spaces do that.

jane_becomes January 22 2011, 01:14:20 UTC

"Then allow me to find you a drink before you begin. I have yet to regret hearing any story in Milliways."

Ben was just about sure this place was part of some drunken dream before he found himself yet again on Milliways' doorstep. This time she caught him on the road so at least he's dressed less embarrassingly. What's weird though is that there is someone behind the bar this time.

"I'm on a journey now, does that count?" He asks as he swings the huge backpack from his shoulders to rest on the floor.

[OOC: Slow okay? I want this Ben to meet some more people.]

jane_becomes January 22 2011, 00:58:52 UTC

(OOC: Slow is always okay and I was thinking about tagging his last EP so this works great.)

"It does, sir. What might I get you and where are you going?"

The bag is rather impressive and Jane wonders where he's going to put it.

unbreakableben January 22 2011, 01:03:28 UTC

"How about some coffee to start?" he replies as his stomach grumbles. "And maybe something to eat? Is there a kitchen here?"

He's not sure of the way she's dressed and wonders if she's from a different time than him or just dressing up for fun.

jane_becomes January 22 2011, 01:04:30 UTC

"There is, sir. What would you prefer?"

She asks while pouring him a cup of coffee and setting some cream and sugar beside it.
