Who: Hannah Abbott and Open
What: Hannah's working the late shift. Who knows what will happen.
Where: Rosie's bar and Grille
When: July 30, late
Rating: TBD
Status: In Progress. Maybe?
Warnings: TBD

When Hannah agreed to taking the late shift at Rosie's Bar and Grille (yes, with an extra "e" because that makes it fancy), she'd thought that it would be nice and relatively easy. It would let her transition from being "the new kid" to life in Colligo nice and easy.

She was wrong. Oh, boy had she been wrong. She'd never worked a busier shift in all her years of waitressing, and she'd spent her years in The Leaky Cauldron, where being eccentric was practically a prerequisite to entrance. At Rosie's, though, the busy time started at dinner and ended at near 10 pm. She'd spent that first half hour after the bulk of the night's customers had left refilling the various condiments and things on the empty table and, after that, she let herself take a break.

She asked the cook to grill her up a burger (she'd been craving one since Dean had mentioned it on the network earlier in the day) with a side of sweet potato fries, and she sat at the counter (mostly so she could see if anyone needed anything) and relaxed for the first time that evening. Funny... She had never thought she'd be quite that tired after only three hours. She'd have to see if Severus could, or would, brew up some Pepper Up Potion. She'd need it if she was going to be keeping both jobs.

Eliot had almost talked himself out of going to meet Hannah in person. He had a feeling she was going to suggest some kind of magic fix for his hand, and he really didn't care for the idea. He wasn't sure what to make of Colligo in and of itself, but he'd read a few of the messages posted, and the comments and what not. He was very much aware the residents of Papillon came from other times and other places, and many of them practiced magic to some degree. While it was common place to them, magic didn't actually exist where Eliot came from, and anyone who claimed otherwise was a fraud.

He figured he'd go anyway, because he said he would, and Eliot Spencer was a man of his word. He sauntered into the diner, his right hand neatly wrapped, the bones set back into place. His fingers ached, but it wasn't anything he couldn't deal with.

He didn't see the waitress on duty, though Hannah had said she'd be the only one. He figured she was in the back, maybe, he didn't really care. There were other customers, the place was open, eventually someone would show to take his order. His stomach rumbled in response, and he slid into a booth, where he opened the menu in front of himself and started scanning the diner fare even though he had a pretty good idea what he wanted.

Hannah heard the bell above the door sound and should have turned to greet the customer right away... But she had a mouth full of burger and was in mid chew. It only took a moment for her to decide it was better manners for her to let the customer, whomever it was, seat themselves than it was for her to greet them with a mouth full of beef, as delicious as it was.

She swallowed quickly and wiped her mouth with a napkin before getting off her stool. She stole one last deeeeeep drink of Coke and covered her plate with another. Cold food was just yucky.

Hannah smiled as she approached the table, blue eyes twinkling merrily, her note pad and pen in hand.

"Hello there! Welcome to Rosie's. Can I get you something to drink while you look over the menu?"
