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.

"I bet you'd be adorable with a top hat and all that." It would be like watching Zatanna or Doctor Fate, but on a much smaller scale. And he'd probably look way better in a suit, in her opinion.

She waits patiently as he prepares her drink, watching with slight fascination as he mixes it. Things were a bit messier in bars she went to, so this was a nice little change up. "That many? Suddenly I don't feel special anymore."

Wow. Yeah, she's officially impressed. She smiles as she gingerly picks up her drink for a taste. There's a little glint in her eye of satisfaction, and the smile grows. "It's great, thank you." She smirks into her drink before taking another sip. "Less than seven, I can tell you that."

"Well then, madam, if you ever find a top hat and a nice set of tails, I'll wear them just for you." He laughed, putting the shaker in the sink to wash for a moment, while he waits for her verdict. The kedan seemed to have a higher tolerance for this stuff, but there was enough that he could feel right at home with.

And this was a much better martini then a regular one. He brings the towel and the shakers, cleaning them.

"Good, you like it. Because if you didn't, I could make you something different. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things." He tossed the shaker in the air behind his back, and caught it with his other hand.

"Less then seven, is that so? I have to say I lied, then. It's more like five."

"I'm flattered." As she silently thinks about how nice that would be. She sips her drink slowly to savor every taste of it. Damn, he knows how to make a drink. Nothing like a pleasant drink to raise your spirits.

"I'd say you're doing pretty well." She flicks a finger in his direction at the little trick. "And showing off, I might add." Even if it was funny.

"Here on the turtle? It's about three for me." You're in trouble, Dick, except not. She's just teasing.

[bludhavenknight]

She should be flattered. Well, not in the sense that he expects anything, or that he's the best thing ever, because he knows he's not. But she was flattered, and he is flattered. Because she enjoys spending time with him, and he with her, and wasn't it fun?

It was a lot of fun. "I think a little bar flair is what we need around here, don't you think?" He just beams a bright smile at her. "I don't get too many chances to show off these days!"

He'd bring out the bottles and start juggling them, but maybe that was for another day. "Ouch, only three? Now I feel like a dick." Yes, he did that. "Wait, only on the turtle? We're counting people off the turtle, now?"

[wingedwarrior]

She had more than fun around Dick, she enjoyed herself, and it came so easy without even having to try. It's one of the reasons she likes spending time with him.

"It could liven up the place, and nothing's wrong with that." His grin was so infectious, she smiled back. "Then by all means, knock yourself out."

But that little joke, however, gets an eye roll. Dick, please. "You did that on purpose." So much for her making that comment. "I was only counting people on the turtle."
