[wouldnotkindly]

Uh, so... I get that there's a curse going on today, but. Uh.

[Jack is way too flustered over this.]

If anybody feels like kissing me — uh, especially while I'm at the bar... Could you maybe, uh. Warn me first? Please?

( ooc: Jack is tending bar today, so open action at the Blue Light, or out on the streets if that's your fancy! give him all the victory smooches. )

I thought you liked surprises.

[wouldnotkindly]

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT IDEA

[rudeandginger]

No where particular. I might stop in for a drink today.

[wouldnotkindly]

OH. OK

[Part of him feels like he should be at least a little apprehensive about that. But, perhaps against his better judgment, he finds himself looking forward to it nevertheless.]

[rudeandginger]

[Turlough comes in, not in his usual school uniform today, but a plain button down and trousers, and hops onto a barstool.]

[wouldnotkindly]

[By the time he shows up, Jack looks nearly relieved to see him.]

There you are.

[rudeandginger]

I wasn't aware my presence was required so urgently.

[justamessenger]

Do you have drinks that have cherries in them? I'm not picky otherwise.

action;

[wouldnotkindly]

Of course, miss. [At least he can keep himself from stuttering and being awkward on the job. Usually.] Want anything specific?

action;

[justamessenger]

Nope! In fact, I like surprises.

And please, my name's Dulcie.

[wouldnotkindly]

Sure thing, Dulcie. [He flashes her a smile, then gets to work on mixing her a Midori sour.]

action;

[justamessenger]

[She grins back, and takes a moment to not so subtly admire how nice he looks in a button down.]

action;

[wouldnotkindly]

[He's spent enough time around Turlough by now to recognize when he's being leered at checked out, so there might be a slight blush in his features as he slides the drink across the bar.]

Here you go, miss — er, Dulcie.

[errandry]

Most of them probably aren't even gonna know until it's too late. Just watch out for anybody getting close!

voice;

[wouldnotkindly]

I usually work the bar, so... That's going to be a little tough.

voice;

[errandry]

Close to your face then!

voice;

[wouldnotkindly]

That, uh... That might be a little tough, too. [Considering they've managed to sneak up on him every time so far.]

voice;

[errandry]

Eh? Meaning what?

voice;

[wouldnotkindly]

Just... [Erm.] When they get started, it's kind of hard to avoid it. Unless I wanted to hurt them, but I can't do that...

[hatedbyfanboys]

Tell me if it works because I've had no luck today.

video;

[wouldnotkindly]

[He sighs.] No luck so far.

video;

[hatedbyfanboys]

That sucks.

action;

[crowing]

( leaning on the counter and slacking off a little. or maybe a lot. )

Looks like you've been a lucky guy today!

action;

[wouldnotkindly]

[Probably a lot. Either way, Jack frowns.]

Doesn't feel like I've been all that lucky.

[crowing]

No cute girls grabbing on you yet?
