Various times - open!
She never spoke much, but she tended to find she was a fairly popular presence on most nights. Most men didn't need much encouragement from a saloon girl to fill the silence by talking about themselves.
[OOC: Tosh has been a saloon girl for the last two years after losing her family and washing up in Bargewood. She understands spoken English pretty well, and even reads and writes a little, but she's not confident about speaking it even though she's better than she thinks she is. This may or may not be based on my grasp of French, except the very last part. :V]
Re: Various times - open!
But above all that, he's lonely so he-on his days off like today-sits quietly in the saloon nursing a glass of something alcoholic. Except when he spots Toshiko there's very little that he could do to stop himself. Dressed in a white shirt and suspenders-the very image of the weorking man. He steps up and coughs.]
...Ma'am. May I buy you a drink?
Re: Various times - open!
"If you will have a drink with me, sir." These much-practised, everyday phrases are the ones she's most comfortable with. "Thank you."

Early evening - open
Tonight, though, there was a long tiring few days behind him and all he wanted was to drink a beer and take the edge off before he headed home. He took a small table in a corner, nervously eyeing the ranch hands and pretty girls - he'd been born and raised in town, but a lot of the time he felt like he was in the wrong place. He nursed his beer as slowly as he dared and hoped nobody paid him too much mind.
[OOC: Mervin is the apprentice to local pharmacist and drugstore owner Sherlock Holmes, and slightly older than usual - maybe 24ish. He's a total gentleman, good at his job, and if you broke him in half you'd find the word 'virgin' written all the way through him.]
I'm sorry :|
It was more entertaining, foisting her company on the unexpecting. So with her own beer in hand, pol made her way to Mervin's table, arching an eyebrow at him.
"Mind if I join you?"
I sincerely doubt that you are :|
By the time that thought had come to a close, though, he'd somehow drawn out a chair for her.
"Of course not, Miss Pollyann. Please..." He nodded at the drawn-out chair.
It's true. :|

OPEN - Anytime
[OOC: DELETIN' MY POST BECAUSE THIS IS A BETTER IDEA.
So, Rex's backstory is that his parents and him were heading out to start their own ranch, when the got cholera and died, leaving him and his sister stuck here. She managed to find a nice fella to marry and moved to a nicer, more settled and safe town, and Rex is stuck here. Unlike his Barge self, he's about 20/21. He's been working at the saloon as an errand boy/maintenance guy/all-around helper for the madame and staff. He'd do more manual labor, but he's still weak and skinny in all incarnations and the saloon helps him make ends meet. He's been here for a few years and is probably regarded as a little peculiar because he's got weird interests and spends a lot of time socializing with the ladies, but never courting any. Because he sucks at this. Also, he likes going out in the field and catching garter snakes to study. And he keeps flowers on the bar hoping Chloe will like them and LOVE HIIIMMMM.]

Today, for a few hours, he was going to make an exception. Polly always did have a habit of making his head funny and the latest trick up her sleeve had really thrown him. He hadn't even told Dick where he went, just got on his horse and ended up here.
He was sitting at the end of the bar with a drink and a frown. Just trying not to brood over Polly... it wasn't working.
Re: OPEN - anytime, multiple threads if you want, etc
Then there was Reaver. There had to be something there.
When she saw Kirk, she already knew who he was - the arrival of a US Marshal was relatively big news, and although she tended to stay away from lawkeepers for obvious reasons, he looked miserable and if she could cheer him up now he might be well-disposed to her later. She rose to her feet and made her way over to the bar.
"Another two of whatever he's having," she told the bartender, then glanced sidelong at him. "If you can stand to have a lady buy you a drink, sir."

"Far be it from me to tell a lady in a saloon what to do," he answered with a hint of a smile. "I've found it's easier to just surrender and let her do what she wants."

Evening
He was at the bar, drinking his whiskey and keeping an eye out. He had no intention of getting so drunk that he couldn't properly guard the wagon, so he'd eventually be asking for water, whether that got a laugh or not.
Re: Evening
Of course, it wasn't as if he could live with them when he was here, so it all felt a little pointless as he pulled back into town and finally pulled off his uniform. He all but dropped into a bar stool, not far from Cunningham, and glanced the older man's way.
"How's the whiskey?"
Re: Evening
"Tastes like shit."
But that wasn't the point of whiskey. It was to get you drunk. It did its job, even if it took more with him than most. He straightened up on the stool and turned his attention to Cooper.
"Kansas City, huh? Much trouble on your route?"
Re: Evening
Evening | Using these two icon sets together causes me stupid amounts of glee.
LOL m too. I love it. :D

And with Mr. Reaver in town, he and the bottle were better friends than usual. He hadn't the gall to actually stand up to his brother, so the bottle was better to hide and be a coward in. It didn't judge.

It was harder with the nice ones. The Doctor seemed like a decent sort, but Tim couldn't remember the last time he'd seen the man without a bottle near by.
Sometimes he headed by the bar and stopped in, seeing what there was to see, hearing what there was to hear. It was a good place to sit an listen. But when he spotted Sylveste, he hesitated - then headed over to lean against the bar next to him. "How's it goin', Doc?"

"Quite well, Tim. I'm celebrating! I'll be moving out of the Mayoral house. On my own for the first time since university!"

That was what he was doing now. Sipping his drink and just- watching the Doc from beneath his cup. When he finally spoke, his voice was almost drowned beneath the background noise of the salon.
"Hey, Doc." He smiled a little. "Been a long time."

Early evening and open!
"Oh, once upon a time in Arkansas,
An old man sat in his little cabin door
And fiddled at a tune that he liked to hear,
A jolly old tune that he played by ear.
It was raining hard, but the fiddler didn't care,
He sawed away at the popular air,
Tho' his rooftree leaked like a waterfall,
That didn't seem to bother the man at all"
She continued on until it was over before hopping down and adjusting her clothes.
[OOC: Sveta is here with her brother from Russia. She usually nice and polite, though a big flirt. That's usually as far as she'll go, though. Feel free to bother her.]
