Day 196 | Evening [Action|Video|Open]
Greetin's Marina.

I jus' wanted t' announce that th' Rusty Spoon will be undergoin' a name change t' Merlotte's an' will be officially open as of right now. As in all our construction is finally done.

I was looking' t'celebrate tonight an' I figure after all of th' therapy some of y'all could really use a drink er'two. This one especially goes out to everyone who helped me put everythin' together and t'make this possible. Thanks for all your hard work!

I'd really appreciate y'all comin' in and at least seein' th' menu or takin' a load off. I have a pool table an' y'kin play cards or jus' plain socialize and cure what ails ya. We made some finger foods and bits o'stuff t' sample from th' menu too.

So stop on by an' I promise ya won't have t'spill yer guts unless it's t'the porcelain goddess.

[Okay so he's not the best to be talking publicly to people but hey. It's only slightly awkward right? It's a little funny right?]

((ooc: Go ahead and treat this like any mingle. Sit at the bar, play pool, drink, nibble food to eat or dance (just this once, one of his rules is no dancing)! There is a table set up with tid-bits of burgers, or hot dogs or chili or whatever sort of southern/comfort/american diner foods you could think of. Help yourself! Threadjacking and such is encouraged. Have fun!

notes to his staff, feel free to assume you are there to help, helped earlier to set up, or will help after to clean up, or just there to have fun. He is a-okay with a minimal staff for the even so that all of you can celebrate. But if others are just super willing to help out he will not say no.))

	[ Hei smiled brightly and continued polishing his glass ] Odd jobs, here and there. When you're in the middle of a party, people tend not to wait for their orders and mingle instead. If you can't remember... [ Hei shrugged ] It's best not to forget. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ain't as easy as it looks, some people don't realize that till they get behind th' bar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Hei blinked and then looked from the bar to the clients and back to Sam with a dazed and slightly panicked look on his face ] Eh, it's... not supposed to be? [ he blushed. honestly, "Li" was only good at doing the odd jobs. Anything more complicated then a few orders and he'll just flunk right out of job school... cough ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He blinks, chuckling some at that wide-eyed-deer-in-headlights look about him suddenly.] Yeah. I mean, when it's busy it's harder for some t'keep everythin' straight. I've seen plenty o'people runnin' around like a chicken with their head cut off. Y'must've had some experience in a busier bar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Hei smiled nervously at the description, shaking his head ] I'm used to taking the orders and serving the drinks. This is just another step to complete.

[ he paused and then leaned forward conspiratorially ]

Although I did practice after hours, when the owner was gone. [ ahem, and back to cleaning he goes until the next order, the next drink. A man has to have some ambition. ]

	[His brows raise.] Oh yeah? Did ya ever try t'teach yerself t'juggle bottles an' all that? Y'know that fancy flare stuff? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he shook his head adamantly ] I didn't dare. [ broken bottles would be difficult to replace after all. And just as hard to clean up ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, me either. I mean it looks like a crowd pleaser... an' it might be fun. But I cain't imagine it bein' entirely worth th'trouble of learnin' unless y'go to a bartendin' school er'somethin'.

[Well he hadn't exactly meant that he taught himself behind his bosses back but... in general. Still.]

Well in any case, come t'me if ya want some refreshers or trainin' I keep a close watch on this place.

[In other words, no sneaking in here when you think he's not looking. He's being friendly and joking about it though, even if he is serious about helping him if he needs it.]

[ Hei's smile is immediate ] That won't be necessary. That was before I could take the bartender's exam. [ and he already had the job didn't he? Surely that would be enough.

Ah, but wait. ] Would you like another drink sir?

[ he nods to Sam's glass. It isn't empty, but it was more empty then full. A good bartender would never let it go empty. A better one would know when to stop, but... It is still polite to ask. ]
