make him a member of the midnight crew

[bakegarasu]

Who: Otoha and YOU!
What: The bar is open. It's booze time.
Where: The Crow's Nest (Otoha's bar)
When: Late afternoon Sunday - Early morning Monday
Style: Either!
Status: Open

Four in the afternoon. Time to open. Otoha makes sure the door to his room is closed and locked, and heads over to flip the sign on the front door to 'open'. Business has still been slow, but it's something to do at least. He heads behind the counter, sitting down and checking to make sure his sword is in grabbing range before cracking open a book.

Maybe someone would come in today. Hopefully.

[Aziraphale was up for a bit of exploring after now that this week's flower fiasco was coming to a close. His own house was still absolutely covered in them, walls decorated and vases filled. It was about time he got out, though, and take a break.

Which is when he noticed the bar. Ahhh, perfect, it'd been a while since he'd had a drink! He's surprised he hadn't ever noticed the place before. The angel pulls out his SFC to check the money he'd happened across thanks to a few generous natives. Should be enough for a drink, maybe two.

He steps into the bar, looking around curiously. Old-fashioned place, it seemed... he liked it, a lot. Aziraphale approaches the bar and takes a seat, eyeing the drinks along the back wall with wide eyes.]

[bakegarasu]

[Otoha looks up from his book when the bell tinkles, and puts his book away under the counter, standing up.]

Hey.

[He doesn't say anything more until a few moments after Aziraphale sits down and starts looking over the drinks.]

Anything in particular you'd like?

[dancingonapin]

[Aziraphale leans back and smiles at the bartender kindly, nodding.]

Ah, hullo! Good evening! Yes, um... [He glances at the drinks again, mulling it over in his head. Usually he had a glass of wine before moving into heavier stuff... Though he believed he only had money for one or the other, so he'd have to make the choice. Aziraphale glances at his SFC for funds while he tries to make the choice... He supposed he'd go for an in-between.] I suppose some brandy will do, thank you.

[bakegarasu]

No problem.

[Otoha grabs a glass, checks it for streaks, and then turns to rummage some brandy off of the shelf. He finds it pretty easily and then pours it into the glass, sliding it over to the other man.]

Here you go.

[He leans against the counter, trying to place the guy's face.]

I haven't really seen you around - are you new here?

[dancingonapin]

[Aziraphale takes the glass and holds it in his palm, testing a sip.]

Ah, yes, I've really only been around for perhaps three weeks now? Four, almost. I've never been here before, but... this place is really amazing. This bar, I mean, it looks fantastic. I ought to bring my friend here, though he likely already knows the place.

[bakegarasu]

Glad you think so. This is the first time I've owned a business, actually. My brother owned a lot of them at home.

[... Past tense. Oh well.]

Oh yeah? Who's your friend?

[dancingonapin]

Well it looks wonderful. [He takes a bigger swig of the brandy.] Mm, the drink isn't bad either. Oh, and my friend is Crowley, perhaps you've heard of him? I heard he's also going by "Anthony J." Crowley. My name is Aziraphale, by the way.

... I suppose Otoha does enough killing to qualify as a member

[Serph enters the bar at 5:30pm. He hasn't personally been in the Crow's Nest before, and judging from their brief interactions over the Network, he guesses Otoha is a bit of a loner. But he'd like to know the guy better, and it's as good a time as any to find out what a bar is like.

He makes sure his footsteps are audible so that his entrance isn't a surprise.]

I just associate that kind of music with him...

[bakegarasu]

[Otoha looks up as he hears Serph head inside. He chuckles a little at how obvious he's being, but doesn't say anything. He puts his book away and grabs a glass, checking it.]

Hey there. Didn't really take you for a drinker.

[bufudine]

[Serph's response is quick.]

I'm not.

[He clarifies, though.]

I have never been in a bar before.

[He approaches and takes a seat by the counter; it seems like the natural thing to do.]

[bakegarasu]

Ah. Well, do you want to try a drink? Or I can get you something non-alcoholic, if you want.

[There's too many kids around to not have something like that, so.]

[bufudine]

[Serph nods.]

A drink is fine.

[A pause while he thinks back to the party on that boat.]

I've only tried champagne.

[bakegarasu]

[He thinks for a minute and pulls out a cream liqueur, pouring him a glass.]

Here. This isn't all that strong. It's something good for someone who doesn't have a lot of drinking experience.

[behind_my_smile]

Fai had been walking past when he saw the sign in the door flip to 'open'. He stared at the establishment in wonder for a moment before finally deciding it couldn't hurt to check it out. He wanted to learn as much as he could about all the businesses in this world.

He headed inside and looked around. He had never been much of a drinker, but if nothing else it might prove to be a good place to meet some of the other residents. And Fai was definitely a socialite.

"Hello~!" He smiled as he lifted his hand in greeting to the man behind the counter.

[bakegarasu]

Otoha set his book down and nodded in return to the greeting. There's just the two of them in there right now, unfortunately for Fai's social life.

"Hey there."

He pulls out a glass for the man, leaning casually on the counter.

"Any sort of drink you have in mind?"

[behind_my_smile]

Fai walked up and stared at the glass for a moment. He was a terrible lightweight..but he had to have something. "Something light...and maybe fruity tasting!" Fai wasn't a huge fan of the hard liquor or things that tasted unpleasant. Certainly there was a drink that was more his style.

[bakegarasu]

"Let's see..."

He goes through the bottles, and pulls out a cherry liqueur, showing it to him.

"How's this look for you? It's pretty sweet."

[behind_my_smile]

"Oooh! Looks tasty! Let's try that." He settles onto a stool and leans on the bar. "Do you own this place?"

[bakegarasu]

He nods, and pours it into a glass for Fai.

"Here you go. And yeah. I needed something to work on. My brother owned a few bars, so I thought I might as well try."

As soon as he caught the scent of Otoha coming from this new building, Johnny changed his direction and decided to check it out. He always wanted to check in on his friends and Otoha qualified.

The vampire entered the bar and took one of the seats, his elbows pressed to the counter and his chin in his hands.]

Hello, Otoha~ I didn't know you ran a bar~

[bakegarasu]

[Suddenly vampire. Otoha puts his book away and grins a bit.]

Yeah. It's been pretty quiet. I'm not the best at advertising. But it's something to do.

[not_heavens_adam]

I like it!

What kind of things do you serve here~? Wine?

[bakegarasu]

Less wine, more hard liquor. I don't really know all that much about wine, to be honest.

[He leans against the counter a little as he talks.]

[not_heavens_adam]

[Johnny shrugs.]

I'm not that picky. The hard stuff is good too~

Hmmm...Maybe I should order something. What do you suggest~?

I AM GOING TO PRETEND THIS IS SOMETHING APPROPRIATE I don't know booze. :C

[bakegarasu]

[He pulls out a bottle of something strong and shows it to Johnny.]

This work?
