|| 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.

Comments

[Action!]

[jiyuna_togabito]

I had figured it would be inspirational. Though you seem quite content with that bloody mary. [He teased with a light chuckle as he took a seat before her.]

I'm doing all right and a brandy please. [He answered making himself comfortable.] Yourself?

[Action!]

[sempreadagio]

I am really content with this bloody mary. [She agrees satisfactory. She sets her drink down though to grab a tumbler and pour him a double shot of brandy. She sets it down in front of him and then leans in with her elbows on the bar and her chin in her hands on the opposite side of the bar from him.]

The alcohol helps... with the ticking. [She smiles again, which is more smiling than she usually does when she's not drunk.] And we can all consider me helped.

[Action!]

[jiyuna_togabito]

Thanks. [He gratefully accepted his drink and took a sip before leaning in as well to return that smile.]

A vice one can easily turn to. [He lightly commented in his smooth tone.]

You must have heard plenty of stories that spill from the mouths of your patrons while working the bar.

[Action!]

[sempreadagio]

Lots and lots. Especially when I'm behind the bar instead of the piano. Sometimes people come over to the piano, but not often.

[She arches a brow, tilting her head a bit as she eyes him pointedly.] So what's your story? Want to share?

[Action!]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[His story, huh? Genuinely curious, he figured, but it had its quirks. Aion wasn't the type to seek pity from others nor was he willing to reveal his whole story though he may need to dish something out in order to get something in return. So he began...]

Perhaps. Though truly what fun is in that? [He chuckled as he thought of an idea.]

Why don't we play a little game then, hm? [His eyes briefly wandered to scan the patrons within the room before returning to meet hers.]

For every person who rubs their temple, we take a drink and share a piece of a story. [The loud ticking or excess drinking will certainly make this go quicker.]

[Action!]

[sempreadagio]

[Oh. Well... Jill wasn't one to share her past either. In fact, she'd been so good at keeping it a secret that even now Lucy was the only one who knew here in the City. But she was kind of drunk so she was more inclined to play the game. Maybe she could stick to things that weren't so horrible.]

Okay, I'm in. But you said a story, not our story. So is that how we're going to play it?

[Action!]

[jiyuna_togabito]

Oh? And here I thought you wanted to hear mine. [He lightly chuckled.] If that's what you prefer.

[He leaned his chin against the back of his hand as he gave a negotiable nod to her suggestion.]

However, under one condition. You must state who it's about. Deal?

[Action!]

[sempreadagio]

I do want to hear your story. [Her features scrunch up just a bit.] Did I make this all confusing somehow? Sometimes I don't sound very logical when I've had a few drinks.

[Action!]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Her comment threw him off a bit before he broke into a light laughter and gave a soft sigh.]

Very well. Allow me to clarify. For every person who rubs their temple, we take a drink and share a piece of our story. No further inquiries allowed of the story being shared. Fair enough?

[At least this way he could pick and choose which he wished to divulge without further questioning. Besides, from the looks of things it was going to be a short game. He raised his glass towards her to wait for the agreement.]

[Action!]

[sempreadagio]

Fair enough. [That sounds much better... in theory. This way she can find out more about the mystery that is Aion, whom she finds herself strangely attracted to sometimes but knows so little about.]

Alright... so... [She sips at her drink and looks around the bar. She points to a man in his late 30's rubbing his brow.] There! See? It's like playing 'I spy'.

[Action!]

[jiyuna_togabito]

[First drink already. He agreed to what she observed though he had to curiously question.]

'I spy'? [He took a drink as his share.] What is that?

[ooc; Sorry for the delay!]
