third hit;; action

[inadvertently]

[ good ladies and gentlemen of good spirits, the newest bartender is on shift tonight. you may see him outside taking a smoking break or behind the bar, doing his bartending thing, or maybe dubiously eyeing the jar of candy sitting on the ledge and wondering if it's a good idea to take one. they could be spitbacks...

whatever, whatever. shizuo's doing his thing and trying to get back into the swing of bartending.

any and all at good spirits tonight are welcome to enjoy his service. ]

[Shizuo is handling things quite nicely, so Zack is in the corner of the bar counter, supervising the new recruit by being a customer. He's also being irresponsible by ordering the Shinra-brewed mako tequila. Yep, good times over here.]

Hey Shizuo, can you get me another?

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

What is this stuff?

[ he turns to mix it but. seriously dude. this stuff smells weird. ]

[wingenvy]

It's a special mix from my world! It's got a weird chemical in it, though, so try not to spill it. Might sting your skin.

[Probably should've told Shizuo about that one earlier, but the new bottle just came in stock.]

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

[ he makes a sound of acknowledgement.

hm hm hm - oh, whoops. some spilled on his hand.

... he'll wipe it off later. shrugging and pushing the glass on over, wiping his hand off on his pantleg... he'll need to wash his hands or they'll get sticky. hrm. ]

[wingenvy]

Ah, careful! [Shizuoooo he just told you not to spill. (It's a very precious commodity!)] Man, you better get that cleaned soon. Mako can stain if you're not careful.

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

[ yeah, yeah. it smells gross. he stares at it! ]

Yeah. [ WASHING IT. ]

[wingenvy]

You must wash that thing all the time since you wear it every day.

[At least, he assumes so. He's never seen Shizuo in anything else.]

[That short blond hair is so deceiving. D| For a second, when she walks in, Nami catches sight of it and thinks Guy has come back and is tending bar like he never left. So. There is a redhead approaching the bar and giving Shizuo a look of pure glee for about two seconds, which is... when the rest of her brain catches up and informs her that she's smiling like an idiot at a complete stranger. Who...doesn't even look that much like Guy. Well.

Uh.]

Hi?

[And damn.]

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

[ that's... not an expression he's used to. it sort of pisses him off to see someone looking that happy for no reason. but, that can easily be attributed to whatever feeling of unease has settled over him this new feather cycle. there's something in the air, he just knows it.

He's just cleaning that glass. You get a slightly awkward nod. ]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Nothing like him, either. Oh, well. Nami just offers him a second, faintly rueful grin as she slides onto a barstool.] Sorry. Thought you were someone else for a second. Can I have a--

[...]

Sake. For now.

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

[ pouring it and serving! ]

Been getting that a lot.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

I'm not surprised. Thanks. [Downing a fair portion of it before she speaks again.] Have you been working bar long?

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

Not long. Only since that last experiment.

[imitatethelaugh.livejournal.com]

[Hopefully, Shizuo doesn't mind the rather shady-looking man hanging off near the side of the bar giving Shizuo somewhat of a curious stare. Mostly because he's looking between Shizuo himself and that jar of candy. Between his glances towards the man, he's also wondering if he should approach for a drink. But that doesn't help him look any less shady, thanks to his outfit.

What better way to spend the night than Remington staring at a man who happens to be someone he heard terrible things about and made a mental note to avoid, without actually knowing that Shizuo is that man?

But yes. Don't mind that stare.] Hm...

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

[ there's someone watching him.

shizuo's back stiffens. that slightly sour mood takes a slight turn for the worse. when he whips around, he expects to see that damn fucking flea and everything is demanding he act accordingly to that if he turns and it just so happens to be the flea.

he turns, an aggrivated growl rumbling in his throat... but.

it's not.

have a glare, my good sir. ]

[imitatethelaugh.livejournal.com]

[Oh. He has the man's attention. And that glare seems awfully dangerous. Great.

He'll just wave a bit towards him. He saw him serving drinks before, so...] May I have a drink?

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

[ ... ]

What'll it be?

[imitatethelaugh.livejournal.com]

What do you serve? [Because Remington has no idea what odd drinks are served in Luceti.

Also, he's still staring.]

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

[ quit that.

shizuo picks up the menu and drops it down in front of him. ]

[kissdiet.livejournal.com]

[Cam hangs out here! Sometimes, less than sie did the bar on campus, but sie is sitting in here about the time that Shizuo comes in from the smole break - ah. Sie usually ends up interacting with Buffy, but this person seems to be dressed officially. Sie gives him a smile and a wave, waiting to see if the suspicions are right]

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

[ "that's a guy?" is shizuo's first thought, and he thinks no more of it. he gives a nod.

and he slides on behind the bar again. ]

Do you want? [ it's not unkind. it's just... very straight and to the point. he lacks buffy and zack's charm. ]

[kissdiet.livejournal.com]

I am undecided, actually. [To the point... huh. This person doesn't seem overly social, but we'll see]

Do you have anything you excel at mixing?

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

I can do most simple drinks. [ he doesn't drink them himself, so he can't really stay. ] Screwdrivers are easy.

[kissdiet.livejournal.com]

Well then, I shall call it bartender's choice!

[Sie says with a smile] I'm Cameron, by the way.

[moezuo.livejournal.com]

Shizuo.

[ mixing mixing mixing. ]
