Can Any Of Us Even Get Drunk

[mikangirl]

Who: Space Bar staff and special guests
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Space Bar!
When: One fine night after closing

[The Space Bar staff made good use of the ever-replenishing alcohol supply at their last stop, and Nami and Remy got around to discussing the idea of testing various experimental mixes to come up with new additions for the menu.  I mean, add to that Nami hasn't made a decision which one of the applicants should take the main bar job, so clearly the best idea is to shove them all into one place and ply them with alcohol while they talk to each other and work it out after that.

No, it's a good idea.  Shut up.

...okay.  It may just be a good excuse for a party.  Sue her.]



((ooc: this is a mingle!  It's open to job applicants and regulars who hold their liquor and their plus ones.  If you think that might mean you, you're more than welcome here!))

Mine is a little more . . . wide-spread.

But you've roused my curiosity. What does your reputation say about you?

[goldenglasses]

That I'm a scary monster. [Vash curls his fingers into "claws". He also closes one eye as he squints the other. Apparently thinking that to be a "scarier" look.] Rawr! I am pretty frightening, don't you think?

[He's unable to hold the act very long as he breaks into laughter and takes a sip of the drink.] Oh! That's pretty good!

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki's smile flickers briefly. ]

Thank you.

So you don't ever see yourself that way?

[goldenglasses]

Oh no! I see myself more as a hunter of peace. One who chases the elusive mayfly known as love.

That's what I see in myself. What about you?

[dothelokimotion]

[ For a brief second, the vain lie is on his lips, I'm a god, I'm above everyone else, what else do I need?

But the image of monsters, blue-faced and red-eyed swims in his mind and he finds himself tripping over the lie. ]

I don't know yet.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash gives him a nod.] Not a bad answer. No need to figure it out so quickly.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki snorts delicately. ]

I suppose I have all the time I need.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash raises a curious eyebrow at that snort.]

Sounds like there may be a story in there somewhere.

[dothelokimotion]

Not much of one. I am a God. We age very slowly compared to mortals.

[goldenglasses]

Oh yeah? I haven't really met many gods before. I have to admit. I always pictured something a bit... shinier? Do you get that a lot? [Is that rude to ask?]

[dothelokimotion]

[ He raises an eyebrow. ]

We're gods, not divas.

[goldenglasses]

Oh? Usually when I hear stories about gods they always seem to be bathed in bright light.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Dryly. ]

That would make things difficult to see. But I suppose it is not beyond the pale.

[goldenglasses]

Well, I think that's the point. The wonderfulness of the god is so bright and blinding that it is hard to look upon them.

[dothelokimotion]

[ The curl of his lip is bitter. ]

You'll be looking for my brother, then. He represents that type.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash gives his head a shake.] No thanks. I prefer being able to see.

Besides, there are lots of people back home who are going to be incredibly jealous when they hear a god served me a drink.

[dothelokimotion]

Those people might need standards.

[ But there's the faintest lines of amusement on his brow. ]

[goldenglasses]

Maybe they have high standards and that's why it would take me meeting a god to impress them!

[dothelokimotion]

[ If only they knew who Loki was. A part of him wanted to play devil's advocate . . . but why sabotage himself? There's no one here who would care. ]

I wonder.

[goldenglasses]

You wonder? Why? Are you the god of something boring then? Like the God of Shoelaces or something?

[He probably shouldn't be possibly insulting a God now should he? He does at least put on the clueless moron act like a pro?]

[dothelokimotion]

The God of Mischief, actually.

[goldenglasses]

Should I be worried about a god of mischief making my drink? I mean, it's not going to suddenly have uh... I don't know have itching powder around the rim or anything?

[dothelokimotion]

You can always say no.

[goldenglasses]

Pfft! No way! And say I passed down the opportunity to get a gift-- ah, or well, a drink from a god? I'm willing to take that chance!

Hit me up barkeep! The house special! Whatever that might be! [Vash. You work here. You should know.] And if there isn't one then make one up!

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki chuckles softly. ]

As you wish, sir.

[ And Loki serves him a cocktail that is, well, steaming ]
