[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!))

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...]

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

I think I'll take your word on that. At least you're enjoying yourself.

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah! Why not? No sense in doing somethin' you don't enjoy at least a little, right?

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

Unless it's a means to an end, I guess.

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

[A pause for thought, sipping at her drink... and then a few nods.]

Yeah. Yeah, I guess that's true. [She smiles a little -- she loves learning new ways of thinking.]

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

So, what do you do with your time when you're not playing bartender?

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

[She's still smiling, but she looks... a little sad about it now.] Nothin'. Not 'f worth, anyway. .... See, I'm kinda new a' this whole... bein' real thing. ... 's a long story.

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

Why not? It's never too late to start.

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Yeah, true, but.... what would I do? I dunno what 'm capable of. Or what needs.... [Some vague hand gestures here] doin' 'round here.

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

You could ask. You can't know your limits until you've tested them.

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Ask? Heh. [She spreads her arms, palms up, gesturing to everything around them.] Ask who? No one's exactly in charge 'round here.

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

Anyone. If there's anything that needs done. [he laughs] I'm not sure how much you'll remember of what I'm saying.

[xps1710.livejournal.com]

Aww, you never know! I'm sure I'll remember some. Probably an important bit or to. I'm not that bad.

[She takes another sip, pauses...] Yeah. Guess I'll start asking people, then. What about you, need anything?

[lawfulslayer.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know. [he shrugs] And no, I don't. Just some time away from work, I guess.
