"Indeed. I don't really have any close friends besides my Husband's best friend and MY best friend. Other than that they can all go to hell. No offense, Chayrlin" Star said, finishing her drink up.

 

"So why does she need a bodyguard"?

Kage overheard Chayrlin and Star talking as he got back behind the counter, "Well gee, it might have something to do with all the killers, military officials, criminals, and other ne'er do-wells hanging around these parts these days" He said, "Can't be too safe."

Chisteran rubs his eyes; he orders one more round. It was time to get back to the ship anyway and he didn't want to keep the old girl waiting

 

Chis: "One more barkeep and I'll be done for the night."

"One more...? Be specific man, i'm old and my memory isnt what it used to be." Chayrlin says, inclining her head to listen better.

 

Victoria answers for Chayrlin, proudly slapping her I.D. on the bartop. "I got made a Duchess last year" She groans, as if talking about a vasectomy, or an elementary school play. "I have to tote her around because the Captain told me i have to let her tag along."

[Thought I'd throw my hat back in here and find out if I could stick with the shenannigans this time. :P]

 

Admittedly, the raccoon didn't quite know what he was doing inside of the Complex.  The massive structure itself housed thousands upon thousands of individual stores, able to suit any interest and then some.  And yet, it seemed as if the majority of patronage milled about a small bar toward the rear of one of the enclosed courtyards.  Though that fact would likely never cease to perplex him, Neil continued with his light stroll nearby.  He vaguely knew one of the employees of the place if he remembered correctly, and in between cursory glances to the ornamentation of the building's interior he pondered whether or not to make an entry.  Seeing that the rest of his immediate vicinity was populated by no one worth noting, he diverted course and gently eased into the dimly-lit interior of the bar.  He wasn't much of a drinker and never really was, but he was told previously that the food in this place was decent.  Taking a seat atop one of the stools adjacent to a group of other individuals, the raccoon rested his black-furred forearms on the counter top and decided to listen in on the most prevalent conversation.  Evidently there was some sort of squabble over identity, friends, bodyguards, among other subject-matters.  His ears twitched and perked up as he attempted to pick up bits and pieces without getting too involved.

Chis: "Double scotch on the rocks. Sorry, but their was another bartender here before you. I didn't notice the changing of the guard."

Kage made his way to Chis, nodding, "Got it, double Scotty, on the rocks" He repeated.  When he finished pouring the ice in the glass, he opened a new bottle of scotch and poured it in, taking care to fill it as much as possible without leaving it open to spilling.  "There you go" He said, passing the glass to Chis.

"Hey, I haven't seen you in a while!" A familiar voice said behind Neil.  It was none other than the white ligress who met him the last time he was here.  She smiled and opened her arms, offering a hug.

Caught off guard at being addressed, Neil wheeled around on the stool - his tail hung nervously by his side.  He soon relaxed, however, and his flat expression creased into a smile; it was not often to see a familiar face around these parts and he was glad for any semblance of routine.  Hopping off of the stool and accepting the hug, the raccoon threw in a greeting as well.  "It's been awhile, but I see we've fixed that now!  How've ya been?"  Of course, he hadn't been in contact with the ligress for an amount of time, but surely not much had changed.

A golden jackal walked into the bar casually taking a stool at the back "Can I get some sky vodka?", he asked the bartender.

"Man knows his poison" Chayrlin jokes, already uncorking the bottle and pouring a small glass of the stuff. "To the union comrade." She says with a poor accent, the attempt at a russian accent mixing with Spanish and, oddly enough, Italian. She slides the drink to him, cocking her head and her hand, waiting for the money.

The jackal laid down the appropriate amount of cash for the drink and added the tip as well, knocking the drink back he said "thanks."

Chayrlin plops the cash in her hat and places it on her head, thanking the new patron for his time, and returning to her game of "Are they real?" with Victoria, who quite loudly insisted the loch ness monster indeed was.

"Я думал, что Союз раÑпалÑÑ?", the jackal asked the bartender.

"Тот, кто не пропуÑтит СоветÑкий Союз не имеет Ñердца. Тот, кто хочет его обратно нет мозгов" Replies Chayrlin, smoothly quoting Putin as she wipes the counter down. "But i am not even a Russian, so what do i care?"

Kage chuckled at the Russian going on.  He'd been following the conversation rather quietly, "Don't you mean Ð¡Ð¾ÑŽÐ· pухнул?" He asked the jackal.

"I've only taken a few Russian classes so i'm not perfect at it", the jackal said with a grin.

"Its my job" Chayrlin says before leaving it at that, taking the time to turn to the TV and roar with delight as the sports team scores a sports point.

"yeah i'm not actually Russian, I just like learning new languages", the jackal continued with Kage

Kage nodded, "I had to learn quick" He said, "Helped me out quite a bit when I was younger." He added, cleaning the glass that was in his hands.

"Yeah, it's good to know a few languages", the Jackal replied. "I'm Chris by the way, Chris Heart", he added.

"Tom.  But everyone here calls me Kage.  Pleasure" He said, nodding to the jackal, then returning to his glass.

(Sorry!  It was late last night and I didn't see that lol.)

Bri sat next to the raccoon, "I've been okay" She started, "Not a whole lot new, just the same routine most days.  How are you?" She asked, her tail swishing behind her as the liger faced him.

Kage nodded, "What would that be?" He asked, not taking his eyes off his spotless glass as he continued to run the rag around and inside of it.

"Dose the bar welcome live music and if so, what is the pay per gig?", Chris asked kage as he finished off his drink.

[No problem; the amount of times I've missed posts for the same reason is staggering. :P]

 

Eying the swishing tail with a light grin, Neil pondered an answer for the liger and leaned up against the bar top as he thought.  "Looks like I'm in the same boat with you on that one, and I don't mind that at all."  The 'coon was a charismatic individual, and he did his best to play up all of the compliments that he could give.  "It seems as if I always end up in this bar though, and funnily enough I don't drink.  Guess I must be here for something, or someone, else."  With a wink, he turned around and called out to the current barkeep.  "Hey there, mind passing a glass of water over?"

"Dose the bar welcome live music and if so, what is the pay per gig?", Chris asked kage as he finished off his drink.

"Sorry, we got no stage, plus we're not big enough to even have live music or anything, let alone pay for it" Kage said.

Kage nodded, "Just water?  No Coke or something?" He asked, usually when people come in to a bar without the intention of drinking alcohol, they forget bars also have soda.

 

Bri gave a light giggle, "I'll have a Coke" She called back.  And it was so.  Kage scooped some ice in a pint glass and filled it most of the way up with Coca Cola.  He stopped just before the fizz overflowed, and set it down on the table in front of the liger, before looking at her companion for confirmation.
