Where: Finnigan's
When: Saturday 29th August, late
Rating: Probably NSFW, language.
The private party in the roost had ended up being incredibly boring. Some Ministry division or other who wanted space to celebrate but hadn't requested anything exciting in the decor beyond their own private bar. Seamus was glad he'd volunteered, if only because spending three nights in France with Dean and Susan was the last thing he wanted to do, but after several hours of pouring nothing but beer and whiskey he was about ready to scream. Finally, a little before eleven, they finally cleared out - stumbling and shouting and heading for Wingbeat unless Seamus missed his guess.
The minute the last of them was out the door, Seamus downed the last of the glass of whiskey he'd been nursing. He wiped down the bar and gathered the remaining booze for transportation downstairs. Once it was all safely stowed, he headed for the main bar. He needed a bottle of something cheaper and rougher than the Ministry employees had been willing to pay for. And, since drinking alone lead to alarming anonymous journal entries, he also needed someone to drink with.
He'd just swiped a bottle of bottom shelf whiskey and, after a moment of thought, one of irish cream when he spotted a familiar face along the bar. "Merwyn!" he shouted, voice already a little too loud - though it wasn't noticeable in the rowdy final hour of service. He bumped past his staff to stand in front of the other man, leaning towards him. "I need to get drunk," he confided. "With someone who won't ask why I'm getting drunk and won't tell my friends." He gave Merwyn his best puppy dog eyes. "Come upstairs and drink with me?"
