Killing sprees, huh? That's so last season.

[Buffy sighs, and the journal picks up the gentle clinking of glasses.] Well, I'm a bit more used to--y'know--beating up bartenders for info but now that I am one? Hmm. If anyone's got some juicy knowledge on the murders, swing by Good Spirits and give a girl a hand with her investigating, okay?

[ ( Read more... )

investigating is my thing, public service announcement, she trolls bones because she likes him, beer bad, maybe this was a bad idea, don't touch that dartboard

[Laughter.]

[Oh, she knows that laugh. So she can assume what it's motive is.]

I know, right? But it's perfect. You should really come try it.

[Sure enough, only a few minutes later Uhura is making her way to the bar.]

All right, so what's in this McCoy, anyway?

[action] slaying March 30 2010, 20:03:24 UTC

[You get a wave, Uhura.] Oh, just some lemon soda and a squirt of lime and--[here, she smirks]--something that kinda looks and tastes like Southern Comfort.

[She's not even sure they have that drink in the future but damn it, it's funny to her.]

Interesting. Bartenders are sometimes some of the most worldly people individuals can meet.

[voice] slaying March 30 2010, 19:08:38 UTC

Albert! [She sounds very pleased to hear from you.] You've got to come down--please? Put a girl's worries to rest by letting her make sure you're back all in one piece.

[voice] chikaidestroyer March 30 2010, 19:12:31 UTC

Of course. I'll have to try this drink of yours. [That's totally not the reason, and they both know it.] I will be over there shortly.

[voice] slaying March 30 2010, 19:15:27 UTC

Of course. [She echoes, and her words are punctuated by the immediate sounds of ice clinking in a glass.] I'll be sure to have a cool one waiting for you.

[AND SUDDENLY. AN EDWARD BEHIND HER.]

From slayer to bartender. Hm.

[action] slaying March 30 2010, 23:55:29 UTC

[OHCRAP. As in, behind the bar?

Buffy frowns--that's not a cool surprise, Cullen.]

I'm still a Slayer. Just a bartender, too. Think of me like a hybrid.

[Action] dayofcentury March 31 2010, 00:01:44 UTC

[He was curious as to what sort of booze you have acquired!]

I suppose that means the Slaying season must be at an all time low.

[Action] slaying March 31 2010, 00:04:26 UTC

[Can I interest you in the goat?]

Something like that. Kinda makes it tough when you vamps insist on going "veggie".

[Yes she used air-quotes.]

[He's been hearing things, of course, but being out at the desert fort for the past week pretty much kept him from doing anything useful about it. But he's back now, and hey, if people are going to show up to talk about it...well, there's a nice quiet corner of the bar, out of the way, but where he can still definitely hear what's going on.

So, between one moment and the next, Derek manages to pull a trick worthy of the mutual prey he shares with the slayer and just be there in that seat. Right there.

But he'll also stay quiet and simply watch the world around him (and be putting his sensitive hearing to good use) until he's noticed.]

[At a lull in the action, Buffy stops by with a tall, icy glass of drink. It's her new special--a McCoy. It's really just Southern Comfort, lemon soda, and lime juice...but it's pretty good.]

Hey, stranger.

derek_bliss March 31 2010, 02:13:36 UTC

[Derek gives her a smile and takes the glass from her with a thanks. He can smell the ingredients, and that earns a second smile.]

Hey. How's it going?

[A careful sip tells him he likes it enough to be willing to nurse it to the last drop.]

Pretty good, there.

slaying March 31 2010, 02:14:53 UTC

Oh, you know. Trying my hand at a new job. [She grabs a seat next to him--just for a short break.] How're things with you?

[Oh, look at that, Buffy. He likes your drinks. Well, namely your banana daiquiris. Also your company. Silly Time Lord and his thing for blonds.]

'ello Buffy. How's business been for you?

[action] slaying March 31 2010, 03:34:47 UTC

Pretty rockin', Doc. [She smiles, glad to see a familiar face once again.] How's that head of yours--y'know, after all that rum?

[action] im_brilliant March 31 2010, 06:00:05 UTC

Totally fine, actually. [He flashes her a grin.] Expelling alcohol is pretty simple, compared to well, other things.

[action] slaying March 31 2010, 12:00:26 UTC

You realize that sounds hella-gross, right? What, did you spend the whole day puking?
