Issue 1 Downtime

Still rather grumbly from the rather messed up previous day, Connor was putting up a sign declaring Victoria and Callie (with a picture snapped that left little question as to WHY) banned from the premises for a month. "Bloody witches..."

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2013 11:06 pm**

"Hey." Isabel said as she walked in "....wow...." she added as she spotted the picture.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2013 11:22 pm**

"Aye, they were a pain in the arse to throw out, too," he said, putting the tape away.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2013 11:27 pm**

"You couldn't just tell them to go to Torrid if they wanted to do that shit in public?" Isabel asked.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2013 11:32 pm**

"Oh, thought of that. They seemed to think I was just bein' a hard-ass because I wasn't the one they were... well, you get the point. Bloody self-absorbed harpies."

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2013 11:34 pm**

"Other than that, how have you been?" Isabel asked.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2013 11:44 pm**

"Same as ever, luv. Work, school... it's not much, but it's a living."

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 12:14 am**

"Sounds like my life." Isabel said "But I'm hoping to do something to get more of a, a center, I guess."

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 12:15 am**

"Not a bad idea. Any ideas yet?" he asked, getting a glass out to mix her a drink.

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 12:25 am**

"Actually, yeah." Isabel said "I think I'm going to try getting religion."

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 12:28 am**

"...Gonna need ta remind you that people like us aren't exactly popular with the preachers right now, luv," he said, sliding a Black Velvet across the bar to her.

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 12:35 am**

"Not Christianity, duh." Isabel said "In highschool, I knew these girls who were Wiccan, and it sounded kinda cool. So I've been reading about it, and I've decided to start praying to Brigit."

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 12:37 am**

Connor just looked at her for a moment. THen, resisting the urge to roll his eyes, he turned to get another glass. "If that's what makes you happy, luv."

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 12:44 am**

"I think it might, honestly." Isabel said, taking a sip of her drink. "This is nice. What is it?"

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 1:05 am**

"Black velvet," he said, "Guinness and champaigne, thought you might like it."

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 1:09 am**

"Its good, thanks." Isabel said.

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 1:38 am**

He raised his whiskey toward her. "Cheers, luv. Glad you like it. So... Brigit, then? Why?" Couldn't hurt to humor her, right?

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 1:52 am**

"She's the Goddess of poetry and healing and all that good stuff." Isabel said.

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 6:06 pm**

"Wouldn't think you'd need help with those," Connor said, smirking a little.

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 6:55 pm**

"I always need help with those." Isabel said "this way...its like I'm using my talents to connect to something bigger than myself."

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 10:48 pm**

Connor shrugged. "Guess I'm just a humanist, then," he said, taking a sip of his whiskey.

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 10:59 pm**

"Just because Christianity has gotten stupid doesn't mean that there isn't anything bigger than us."

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 11:01 pm**

"Doesn't mean there is, either," he said. "'M not saying I'm right," he added, holding up a hand. "But I know who and what got me where I am today. Good and bad."

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 12:58 am**

"I know what you mean. It just gets...lonely after awhile."

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 1:16 am**

Connor nodded and sighed. "Got me there," he said. "Never felt any less lonely when I was little and the nuns were telling me ta just talk to Jesus to make it all right, though."

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 1:32 am**

"Yeah, but Jesus doesn't pay attention."

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 1:36 am**

"Luv, I don't know if he does or doesn't, or if your new girlfriend will or won't... still doesn't change how we're wired. Some point you're still going to feel like you're talking to yourself and just playin' pretend to make yourself feel better."

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 1:40 am**

"It isn't playing pretend." Isabel said "Look, I'm sorry, but I don't want to keep talking about this if we're just going to fight."

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 1:48 am**

Connor held up a hand. "All right, all right. Enjoy the drink," he said, picking up his towel again.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 1:55 am**

"I will." Isabel said. She took a sip and added "I didn't want to stop talking. Just y'know, not about that."

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 2:07 am**

"'S all right, luv," Connor said. "You do what you need ta do. What does a bartender know, anyway?" he said with a smirk, starting to dry the glasses again.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 6:33 pm**

"A lot, actually." Isabel said "Especially about the really important stuff."

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 6:39 pm**

"We'll, how ta make drinks is pretty important, aye," Connor agreed with a smirk.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 9:47 pm**

"And football." Isabel teased "but I think there is more to you than that."

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 9:49 pm**

"Now come on... if there was more to me than that, why would I be sitting in a pub every day," he chuckled.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 10:17 pm**

"Because you like being around depressed drunks?"

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 11:10 pm**

"Heh, doesn't sound very smart to me."

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 11:14 pm**

"I never said you were smart." Isabel teased.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 11:22 pm**

"So we know you have a good grip on reality, aye," Connor decided, getting another bottle of guinness out to give Izzy a refill.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2013 11:28 pm**

"I try." Isabel said.
