*Bernard wanders out of the staff quarters looking a little pale; he obviously ran afoul of the flu that's been sweeping through the staff during the last couple of days. He's a little tired, but not infectious. He goes behind the bar

*Rodya enters the bar and watches, forlornly, as Gil retreats back to the rooms. He has large dark circles under his eyes and looks very tired.*

Some soup would be good, if you wouldn't mind.

[the_woodpecker]

*goes to the kitchen and comes back with a large bowl of soup*

Eat up. You look like you need it.

Anything to drink?

[fevered_dreams]

*leans over the hot soup and takes in a deep breath of steam. when he looks up, the look on his face may almost be classified as a smile*

Vodka, please. Large.

[the_woodpecker]

*gets a large tumbler of vodka*

This large enough?

[bloody_awful]

*comes down the stairs and settles in on his barstool*

Evening, old son. Got a pint and a bowl of stew to spare?

[the_woodpecker]

For you? I got two.

*hands him a pint and goes to the kitchen to get the stew*

What's new?

[bloody_awful]

*takes a sip of Guinness and pretends to consider*

Well, let's see. This morning over breakfast I threatened a vampire with a machete. I'd call that the breakfast of champions, all right.

*takes a bite of stew* This is brilliant stew.

How's things on your end?

[the_woodpecker]

*laughs out loud*

I'd say that is an excellent start to any day.

I'll give Gil your compliments on the stew when he's more with it. Half the goddamn staff's laid up with the flu.

I'm all right. Had a minor bout of the flu yesterday, but I feel good today. *looks around the bar* Things are getting busy, which around here is both good and bad.

[leplusbeau]

*leaps up on the bar and pounces Bernard*

You are moving!

[the_woodpecker]

OOF.

*Bernard slams into the back of the bar*

Not for long, if you keep that up.

[leplusbeau]

Pardon! *not sorry at all*

*bites his ear playfully* Je t'aime.

I can not help it! Ophelia iz sleeping peacefully! You are moving! It iz good night now! *gives him a warm kiss before settling herself firmly on a bar stool where she should be*

[the_woodpecker]

*smiles, happy, almost blushing* I love you, too.

Tell me about Ophelia. You said something about her being upset, but I don't know more than that.

[weallscream]

*Looks up at Bernard from where he is crouched beneath the bar.*

Shhh.

[the_woodpecker]

*Bernard jumps about ten feet*

Shit! You're Paul, right?

[weallscream]

*Hisses at him*

[the_woodpecker]

*looks around to see that the doctor is occupied*

There's someone looking for you.

[missginnytonic]

*walks to the barstool and sits down*

Can i have something to drink?

[the_woodpecker]

Sure. What do you want?

[missginnytonic]

Umm DO you have Pumpkin Juice?

[the_woodpecker]

We have everything.

*hands her a pumpkin juice*

Anything else?
