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!))

I suppose.

[ Loki doesn't pay much attention. They still cars??? He thinks??? ]

[privateeyed]

[he shrugs, standing up to lean over the bar to grab a glass] Not all of us can be timeless beings with no fucks to give, no matter how much we want to be.

[dothelokimotion]

That's hardly my fault now, is it?

[privateeyed]

I'm just saying. [he pours himself some water and makes a move to sit back down, before he pauses] Want anything while I'm up?

[dothelokimotion]

What do you have?

[privateeyed]

[. . . he squints at the bottles he can make out] Water, beer, and the rest I can't read unless I jump over. Looks like vodka, though, it's clear.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki rolls his eyes. ]

I think I'll serve myself.

[privateeyed]

[he shrugs and sits down, taking a sip of water] Go for it.

[dothelokimotion]

[ With a flick, one of the bottles float over as he starts making himself a martini. ]

[privateeyed]

[the Look he gives, geez]

Fuckin' show-off.

[dothelokimotion]

There's no need to be jealous.

[privateeyed]

No need to show off, either, but here we are.

[dothelokimotion]

I want to make a good impression at my job. That qualifies as a reason.

[privateeyed]

Dude, have you ever applied for a job before? Showing off is the very last thing you do.

[do gods even have jobs? Fushigi mystery]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki raises an eyebrow. ]

That seems improbable. You do not rise if you do not show what you're capable of.

[privateeyed]

Yeah, you demonstrate your skills and all, but only what applies to the job. Big difference between that and showing off.

[dothelokimotion]

Really.

Even in a customer service position?

[privateeyed]

Even then. Your magic's cool, sure, but it don't mean shit if you can't take someone's order and get it right, you know? Or when you gotta deal with a chatty or fighty drunk.

[dothelokimotion]

I'm quite sure I can do those things and still do this.

Can you?

[privateeyed]

Can you do it and keep your cool? Or not be a holier-than-thou dick god?

[there's no insult in the tone]

'Course I can. I've got experience already dealing with drunks, and I've got a good memory - can't read some of the bottles 'cause my eyesight is shit, but that just means memorizing where they are 'til I can find a pair of decent glasses.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Dryly. ]

I think I can manage sub-par standards.

[privateeyed]

I'm just saying. You don't seem like a guy who's worked a day in his life.

[dothelokimotion]

And I have not.

But this is nothing. A blink of an eye.

[privateeyed]

If you insist. [he's not going to argue the point period, let alone with someone who already seems to have his mind set] Good luck anyway.

[dothelokimotion]

I do.

[ Loki can be stubborn too. ]
