For anyone who might've been wondering, the bar is mostly set for business again.

[And indeed, it looks like things are mostly picked up. The broken glass has long since been swept up, and most of the tables and chairs are in one pieces, albeit not without some dents and nick in some cases.]

We might not have some of the more exotic drinks? But we've got enough to last until the next chance to pick things anyway. There is going to be one change in the staffing though: Bill Cipher is no longer going to be part of the bar staff.

[A pause.]

If anyone else would be interested in helping out in the bar, let me know.

I'll be right up then.

[ My he sounds... depressed? Depressed.]

I'm not planning to turn anyone away.

[He's noticed the way Jon sounds depressed. He just figures it's probably something that's better asked about over actual drinks.]

[ There won't be an answer on there; instead, Jon will slip into the lounge a few minutes later and head straight for the bar. There's a slightly awkward memory of his first discussion with Rhys that he has to shake off (everything's a little... off at the moment, after all) before he can offer a slightly crooked, off-kiler smile that doesn't reach his eyes.]

I don't suppose you know anything interesting using gin?

[An off-kilter smile is better than nothing, or so Tesla generally tends to assume. Even if it does back up the suspicions Jon's earlier tone of voice had prompted.]

I can probably manage something.

[True, bartending is something that he's only really started doing after having taken over the bar, but he's... tolerable at it, all things considered.]

How drunk were you looking to get?

Me. I'm down.

I'm Darlene, I'm an inmate, I'm extremely hostile and have no customer service skills or experience.

Hostility isn't actually a requirement?

[He tends to be a little grumpy even at the best of times, sure. But it's not a direct requirement either.]

But if you think you'd be able to manage pouring drinks for people I'm not going to say no.

Oh, I think it is.

[But yay!]

I can start tonight.

I mean, it's not like I can insist otherwise?

[Not productively anyway, and Tesla's not really in a mood to get in that sort of potential argument just at the moment.]

Let me know when you're coming in, and I can make sure the door's open.

WHAT? I AM THE BAR STAFF! YOU'RE ONLY THERE BECAUSE I WAS!

Do you honestly think anyone else believes that?

[There's frustration in his voice, sure. But also genuine curiosity besides.]

NO, NOBODY EVER BELIEVES ME ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT TRUE.

YOU DIDN'T CARE ABOUT IT UNTIL I WANTED TO KNOCK IT DOWN.

If they don't believe it, it's probably not true.

[Provided there's no splitting of hairs involved, anyway, and right now Tesla isn't considering that to be part of the general discussion.]

And yes, because I was hoping another warden might be willing to step up. [A pause.] Also that was the previous bar.

That is not how this works.

I WAS THERE BEFORE HE WAS! IT'S MY BAR! NOBODY ELSE WANTED IT, SO I TOOK IT, AND THEN HE SHOWED UP!

Nobody else wanted it then. And now someone does. Have him take it up with me if you feel you have a case other than finders, keepers, but for now, you need to find something else to do. Inmates aren't usually in charge of the pub anyway.

[ That right there, it's a new face. A friendly face. And one with, well, obvious interest.]

I might be new around here, but if there's a position at the bar, I'd be... more than happy to help out.

[ Who wants to be near the scotch? He wants to be near the scotch. Most places, he'd figure that there'd be some kind of inmate seniority and he might be stepping on a few toes, perhaps, but he's never been the sort to be afraid of pushing. And if it gets him what he wants?]

[Interest is good! Or at least, not something that Tesla is going fault anyone for.]

Someone's already expressed interest? But honestly, it probably wouldn't hurt to have more than one person helping out.

[Especially given that he's not actually sure Bill had actually needed to stop and see to things like, say, eating and sleeping.]

[ He's never been troubled by a first time shoot down. Especially when there's obviously a foot in the door here. He's good with a foot in the door.]

Just let me know what you need from me and I'm there.

I'm assuming you'd prefer to meet me in person, at least? Especially since... well, I did just get here.

Right now? People willing to be bartenders.

[He can do it himself, and indeed has done sometimes, since taking over the bar. But he's only one man, and one who is often busy with other projects besides.]

And given that there isn't anyone else on board who can currently vouch for you? Absolutely.

Damn. 'E might be an obnoxious little shit but 'e did mix a great margarita.

I'm sure there has to be someone else on board who'd be capable of of making similarly-decent margaritas.

[Tesla can't promise they'll end up on the bar's staff roster. But Bill can't be the only one, either.]

If there isn't I can soon teach 'em. But I'll miss Bill's mystery cocktails. No one else is going to make it feel quite that Russian Roulette-y.

vampere - 2019-05-03 01:41 (UTC) - Expand

I'm sorry about Bill. Please let me know if he causes any further trouble.

So far he's not being any significant trouble? But I'll let you know if that changes.

I know. But he can tip over into that pretty quickly.
