Grand Opening!

[trifurcate]

Characters: Bryn Zethir and EVERYONE!
Date: Friday Evening, September 13th
Location: Bryn's Unnamed Bar
Situation: It's time for a grand opening!
Warnings/Rating: None expected but label your own threads if necessary.

After weeks of scrimping and saving, planning, organizing, working every day to get everything just so, Bryn's tavern is finally ready to open. There were times she wasn't sure it was ever going to happen, because what did she know about running a business, having only been a customer all of her adult life? There was still a chance that this would spectacularly flop and she would be broke and back to square one again. But tonight isn't the night to worry about that. One thing Bryn does know how to do is throw a party.

So, the two story has been scrubbed and polished within an inch of its life. The lanterns inside and out are burning with fresh candles. The bar is fully stocked, the kitchen has been bustling all day with food preparations, and for tonight, the stage is occupied by some of Keeliai's finest and liveliest kedan musicians. At one corner corner of the first floor, a table with ten jars can be found. Before each jar is a suggested name for the new tavern, and baskets of smoothly polished pebbles to be used to cast votes. Each attendee is welcome to vote for the name of their choosing, and Bryn will call her tavern by whichever one is the most popular.

All that's missing are her guests, whom she hopes to keep as customers over the coming weeks, months, or however long Bryn's stay in the city is.

"Most practical skills stay with you, even after years without use." Being able to mix and serve decent drink is definitely a practical skill, as far as Fran is concerned. If her years as a sky pirate have taught her anything, it's that a talented bartender is always something to be appreciated.

She smirks ever-so-slightly before taking another sip of her drink, "And is that your only talent?"

Fran asks out of both curiosity and personal interest. Being good at serving liquor is one thing, but if he has any worthwhile skills beyond that, then he may be useful in the future.

"They do. And not practical skills, too, you really can't count those out." He shook his head with a soft laugh. He wasn't sure if he could count bad jokes and sarcastic comments as practical skills. And he couldn't exactly advertise the skills he had when it came to beating up thugs and stringing people upside down until the cops came along.

Which was why he had actual proof to back up what he was actually able to do. "Not my only talent. I grew up in a circus! I was one of the Flying Graysons," Dick said proudly. "We were a trapeze act. Flying through the air with the greatest of ease, and all that." He loved the circus. Despite everything that happened, how long he'd been away, he still felt home when he was there.

"Not my only talents, though. I've got a whole array of them." He started to clean some glasses with a towel. "Does making good conversation count, too?"
