Who: John Constantine, Zatanna Zatara (Open to others likely to appear, multiple threads welcome) What: Drinks, catching up. Getting acclimated via liquor, in John's case. When: Backdated to last night, after John's first post. Sundown, for the thread with Zee. Where: The Lux, bar proper Rating: PG-13 at the least, likely R in the thread with Zee for mentions of past violence/sexual situations. I'll try to keep it light R, though. Status: In Progress
One of the universal constants John learned early on was the power of alcohol. Everthing from getting the girl, to getting a questionable dime, to defeating the First of the Fallen himself- all thanks to the power of liquid courage. One of the reasons the first thing John did, when getting used to a new 'scene', was bar crawl. People spoke more freely, information was easier to read- and he got to indulge a bit himself. Everyone won.
Making his way to the Lux predictably early, John grabbed a seat at the bar proper, waving the bartender over to get himself started with a beer, before remembering just where he was. "Oh, make it a G'n'T. Bloody American horse piss," The last was muttered under his breath, as he took a look around the crowd. It was an interesting mix (always was, in neutral bars) of regular folk and 'freaks', a smirk threatening to form on his lips as he saw a particularly curvaceous... something (succubus?) look over at him. If he wasn't expecting Zee, it would be as easy as that. But he knew better to play with fire when he had appointments to keep. He turned back to his glass, effectively breaking the forming seduction charm she was trying on him and leaving him drinking, waiting, in peace.
