[Kiori is... laughing. Hysterically. And if that isn't a smug smile, I don't know what is.]

I never had to have my drivers reinstalled after only a month! Wow. Clearly I oughta be the one back in there!

[And yes, that's a bar in musespace. ♥]

HEY, EVERYONE!! Drinks on me, 'cause I'm clearly the better model! Name it, I'll get it out here!

((OoC: Hella open post. Alcoholics welcome! XD Go for it!))

Hell yeah! What strikes your fancy? [Grand gesture behind her at all the lovely, lovely alcohol]

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

Any chance of a gin and tonic?

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Sure. Want the lime? [She's digging for the right glass~]

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

Sure. Why not? [a pause, then he laughs, even if it's a little flat] You come here often?

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

[She laughs and shakes her head.] Oh, classic lines. [Amused little quirk of a smile] Actually, I live around here. Got nowhere else to call home. What about you?

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

I try not to. But I can't seem to stay away, lately.

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Really now? [Starts pourin'.]

So is this a weird, mysterious-otherworldly-draw sort of pull we're talking about, or do you consciously keep coming back?

[Drink's ready! She slides it to him with a smile.]

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

It started with the first, but it's moved into the second. [he takes it and downs a good portion in a go] Ah. I needed that, thank you.

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

No problem! At the rate your going, though, should I be starting on making a refill now? [She's pouring herself not only a shot of rum, but another glass with rum and coke for after the shot. Oh, Kiori...]

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

No, not yet. [He takes another, smaller, drink of it before looking up] Was there a reason behind the alcohol?

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Nothing major, just a tiny celebration in honor of an "I told you so." Heh heh. [She kicks back the shot, pauses for a bit to let it fully go down, then leans against the counter and swirls her mixed drink around a bit.] What brings you here this particular time?

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

Bad case. He deserved to be put away, but that doesn't mean I have to like losing. [cue lime fiddling]

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Ouch. Sort of like a catch-22, then? [She bites her lip. Mmn. Man.

Well... at least here, you can take a load off without people back wherever noticing. Right?

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

It's more that this is a better atmosphere for bitterness than the bar at home. [A pause, and he looks up at her with a shade of a grin] Plus, I'm telling myself you won't be charging for drinks.

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

[She grins and laughs.] Well, you lucked out in something. Drinks are on me tonight! All of 'em. Otherwise, though, I might have to charge a little something. [She's totally kidding. It's totally obvious.]

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

Oh? And just what would you charge? [He's fine with playing along, it's better than thinking of his client]

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Well, since I don't really have any use for money, guess I'd just have to get you to do something entertaining. Make you sing, dance, tell me a story... [Her eyes sort of light up there.] I like that option best, I think!]

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

I've never been praised for my storytelling abilities. [Making his living off of convincing people that he's right has nothing to do with stories, of course.] What kinds of things do you like hearing about?

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Just about everything, really. I like collecting info, mostly. And info's always more interesting if it comes in the form of a story, because you get more to it. Some application, too, if that makes any sense.

((OoC: Bah, HTML fail. D: ))

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

I guess I see where you're coming from. I can't think of anything worth retelling right now, though. [He's rather enjoying his drink.]

((OoC: ::patpat:: I've seen worse.))

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Hey, no sweat. Free drink anyway, right? [A small laugh to go with a small smile.]

I'm Kiori, by the way. [She's adding a little more rum to her drink now~]

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

Ben. It's nice to meet you. [He watches her pouring] You're certainly putting that away.

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Pleasure's mine, Ben. [She salutes him with her glass before taking a sip.]

Yeah, drink of choice. [She shrugs a shoulder.] Besides, I know my limits by now.

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

They seem pretty high, for someone your size. [Another drink from his glass, and he's actually letting himself relax.]

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I dunno why, either. [She laughs.] 'Sides, doesn't matter too much, I'm not too ridiculous drunk. [She's also not quite there yet...]
