WHO: Marcus, Bryant, and Sue
WHEN: Shortly after 5pm
WHERE: The Eclipse Bar.
WHAT: Done! Some posturing... not between the two guys, though.
WARNING: Drinking, language, probably come-ons... basically "M" for Marcus.
It wasn't actually difficult to see where the bar was from the hotel lobby. It wasn't far from the restaurant dining area, and there was a very clear sign. Marcus scoped it out while Bryant did the registration thing, and then went back to fetch the older man. This was done by standing directly in the entrance between the lobby and the rest of the hotel, looking for all the world like a surly security guard... although hotel security generally wore uniforms, and not jeans and a Mastadon t-shirt. When Bryant turned around, Marcus waited for him to look over and gave the man a meaningful nod and gesture: Hey, man. This way. He then turned and left, assuming Bryant would just follow on his own.
The bar had already attracted several stranded patrons, but there were seats available. After getting a shot of tequila at the bar and ordering a beer chaser, he moved to claim a table. They were better for people-watching than the bar itself, and Marcus had no interest in conversing with the harried bartender. Besides, he'd drink less if he sat further away from the alcohol, and he'd rather not spend all of his money on tequila when he hadn't yet figured out what he was going to do about his car.
