I8DT - Slow Times, Good Drinks (Open)

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 9:37 am

Jennifer was doing her best not to be bored. Being the new girl meant the hours she got were during the slow times at the bar. Besides making the occasional drink and making sure the tea was fresh, there really wasn't much to do. So now she was engaged in weaving an intricate pattern of water supplied by three glasses of water.

Will walked in, blinking, and headed up to the bar.

As he approached, the water cascaded back down into the glasses without spilling a drop. Jennifer smiled at him, "What can I get you?"

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 4:20 pm

"I dunno, something that doesn't taste too alcoholy. Maybe vodka and somethin'," he said, sitting down.

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 6:11 pm

"What are your feelings on peaches and oranges," she asked as she washed her hands.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 6:28 pm

"My feelings on peaches and oranges? Uh...hard to rhyme, good to eat."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 6:33 pm

"Okay," Jennifer said, pulling out two bottles of alcohol and a bottle of OJ and mixing them, mostly the peach and orange with just a little bit of the vodka. "Here you go," she said, setting it in front of him.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 8:14 pm

"What's this called?"

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 8:17 pm

"Fuzzy navel. Not the most appealing name, but it's a decent enough drink. Peach schnapps, orange juice, and just a little bit of vodka."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 1:17 am

"That'll work for me, then! Thanks..." he trailed off, expectantly.

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:21 am

"Jennifer," she said, assuming he was asking for her name.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:35 pm

"A pleasure. Will," he smiled, taking a sip.

"Oooh! This is quite good."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:39 pm

"Nice to meet you, Will," she said, putting away the ingredients and doing a little cleaning. "New student or been here a while?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:40 pm

"Finishing up my first year as we speak. Yourself?"

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:44 pm

"Just transferred in from the States, but I spent some time in Cardiff when I was younger."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:45 pm

"Cardiff? My wife's from that area."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:49 pm

"Really? My mum's an environmental engineer. She's from there. My Da's a businessman from Moscow. We lived in Cardiff until I started doing water tricks. Then I lived in the States for a while."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:51 pm

"Wow, so you're pretty much all over the place, then?"

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 7:06 pm

"Just a little bit of here, there, and yonder."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:12 pm

"So, why back here?"

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:23 pm

"Tried going to university there. It didn't work out. So now I'm here, looking for a friendlier learning environment."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:27 pm

"Well, that's...mostly here! You chose the right place."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:29 pm

"And my mum likes having me closer," she said. "So life is reasonably good." She looked at the glasses again. Watery horses started prancing on the surface of the water in the glasses.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 5:01 pm

"....huh. So,that's what you do, huh?"

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 5:40 pm

"Yup. Hydrokinetic. Silly water tricks for the most part these days."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 5:45 pm

"Silly tricks are a fine start."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 5:48 pm

"Oh, I can do more, just not much call for large water or ice constructs right now."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 6:01 pm

"Really? I'm surprised, around here."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 6:02 pm

"Well, I haven't been around here long. At the Institute, there was always a use for them. I was on a team there in high school and used the code name 'Rusalka'."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 6:04 pm

"Ah, you were at the institute? Seems to be quite a few people around here from there."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 6:13 pm

"Logical step for a lot of people I guess. I went the normal college route and now I'm here."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 6:55 pm

"Good call. This is...good for people like us."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 10:34 pm

"So far, so good."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 12:09 am

"Yeah...." he sighed.

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 12:12 am

"Something wrong?" She asked Will, drawing up a beer for another customer and handing it off to them.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 12:14 am

"...sorry, I'm a little vacant. Just got back, you see."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 12:17 am

"Oh you were on one of the teams! Yeah, I've been hearing rumors that it was decidedly a bad deal all around."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 12:35 am

"Yeah.

...if they offer you a chance to go to an evil universe, pass."

by **Jennifer Tarasova** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 8:26 am

"I'll definitely keep that in mind."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:57 pm

"Aye...

...sorry, don't mean to be a downer."
