|| nineteen - action

[sempreadagio]

[Jill is at The Blue Light working. It's her night to tend the bar instead of supplying the musical entertainment for the evening. The bar is full, probably because a lot of people have had the same idea as she's had. The ticking isn't so bad if you're drunk. She slams back another shot and then procedes to take and prepare more drink orders.]



ooc: action open to anyone stopping by The Blue Light.

The day really can't end fast enough.

[She takes a healthy swig of the bloody mary she's already working on. She's lost count of how many drinks she's had, actually. But she does know that she's feeling pretty good right now and that the ticking isn't bothering her so much anymore.]

I thought about playing some. [She glances at the grand piano on stage that most of the time she's sitting behind.] But the ticking is like a giant metronome that you can't control the tempo of.

[charring]

I think that'd throw the best pianist off. [Another, bigger swig of the rum and coke.] Midnight, though, I wouldn't be surprised to hear a collective sigh of relief when this is all done.

[Jill gives Charlie a small smile and nods. Before she'd been drunk, she had been trying to think music in her head. It had turned into such a mess that she couldn't really stand to even think it anymore. But still, the electronic music was loud over the speakers as if that could drown out the ticking. Really, it was just more noise.]

I think after today I'm going to want silence for a whole twenty-four hours. Just... nothing but silence.

[charring]

Same. Just twenty-four hours of not being bothered. Might even stuff the device in the freezer again. [She finishes the rum and coke a bit quickly, so set on drowning out the ticking.] I miss the curse free two weeks.

[sempreadagio]

Me too. I'm still kind of wondering what the lack of curses was about, if anything.

[She turns as if to go to make another drink, then hesitates and turns back.]

Do you like bloody marys? They're my favorite.
