Day 219 [video-->Action] Merlotte's Mingle - Open to All!
[What better way to kick off a mingle than to broadcast the invitation to the entire dome?]

Hey ya'll. I know it's kinda outta place t'say Welcome to Marina cause no one really wants t'be here, but it ain't all bad. In any case, I've got a bar an grill here in Sector 4 called Merlotte's, figure th' new arrivals may want to come on down and have a drink or two after a trip like that.

Anyone's welcome of course, we're open from mornin' to night. Come on in an' have a bite to eat or somethin' to ease your troubles.

((ooc: This is an open mingle. Feel free to thread everywhere with anyone. As always, before threadjacking make sure it's okay by the player but otherwise have fun! Sam is available to chat with either by Video or in person and his thread is right Here. There is a full menu of down-home diner/grill sort of foods, so hamburgers, french fries, salads, soups, breakfast items or whatever other comfort food you can think of and a few other things from other worlds. There is a full bar, wine, liquor, beer and even blood or synthetic blood. He also has a pool table and there's plenty of room in booths or tables to play cards or whatever else.))

	Hello, and what would you like to drink today? [ Hei's smile is professional and warm as he stands behind the counter, welcoming the random patrons with his apron neatly tied and a towel in hand. He's the barkeep at Merlotte's and he's always ready to listen. It's part of the job description, after all. ] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Wine. Please tell me you have some of it, because I have yet to sink low enough where beer is a good idea. [ oenophile, party of nikola tesla. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ his smile grows slightly wider and he nods. ] We have the usual house specials. Would you prefer red or white? Dry or wet? [ and for the extra special guests, well... There might be a few special bottles in the back. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Seein' some new faces and we have a decent crowd tonight. [Musing as he walks by Hei, stopping near him with a smile. Busy nights make a manager happy.] How's it goin' Li? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ and busy nights keep Hei from worrying over Saya. He appreciated the newest advertisement. ]

Business has been steady, but we'll need more wine in a day or two. The newest customers have a preference for the more expensive brands.

[ and Hei can usually tell when they're just playacting and when they mean it. It takes a special kind of nose to tell which brand is the best. ]

	[Tessla...] Alright, I'll see what I can do. Hopefully the wardens won't mind me increasing the numbers a bit. Any complaints? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ oh, Sam knows Tesla? ] If the wardens do complain, just suggest that we might need to hire extra help. They shouldn't protest then.

[ it's all for the sake of rehabilitation after all... ahem, but Hei had been asked a serious question and he seriously intended to answer it. So seriously, he worries at the edge of his rag before he sets down the cup, pronouncing it clean. ]

Nothing other then the usual. Seeing the fresh wave of new arrivals always brings that to everyone's mind.

[ he said it half wryly, but it's true. The new arrivals and home is about all anyone can talk about. Well... except for Zero who seemed to protest Hei working honestly for once. ]

	[They've met! Though Tesla probably knows more about him than the other way around.] Noted. [And nodding. No complains about the service, food or drinks, so that's good. Aside from the obvious of needing a wider wine selection maybe?] Heh, can't say I blame'em, even if I'm starting to get comfortable here. I don't know if that's really a good thin' or not.

	[ Hei nodded ] It does happen with consistent regularity. [ he frowns ] Although it's been a bit more sporadic of late. [ at least it feels that way. Have they been coming in... more often? It would account for the steady decline in sheer numbers of new arrivals at each event. Something he should look into, at a later date. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2013-05-29 04:22 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. It's a shame really. More an' more people bein' trapped. [Everyone's got a reason to drink, which makes his business both successful (without money of course) and useful. He's helping in a way, giving them somewhere to relax and maybe call home. Sharing his passion so he doesn't feel as insignificant in it all.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Hei's gaze roamed, numbering the patrons, cataloging the new ones and then he sighed. ]

It's still less then before the new dome. It's possible that they have even more prisons out there then even we know.

[ was there a Pai out there, quietly serving out her deep sleep beneath the watchful eye of a warden? Or perhaps a Yin? It disturbed him in the darkest depths of his being. ]

	bottomless_pit 2013-06-13 03:16 am UTC (link)
	[ Hei's shrug is imperceptible, but heavily implied. ] As you say. [ but then he shook his head. ] So long as we're trapped here though, there's little that can be done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... [Totally NOT who he expected to see up here. He just blinks a few times staring at you. Excuse him. He's just a little stunned.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-05-20 03:03 am UTC (link)
	[ Why not? A man needed honest work after all and his job at the dispatch counter was well covered by other inmates. But he continued wiping down his counter and smiling, waiting for Zero to speak. After a moment... ] Is something amiss? If you have a complaint, the manager should be here shortly... Zero? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[You're not where he's used to seeing you. It's weird and different.] You have a job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-05-26 12:27 am UTC (link)
	[ Hei nodded ] I man the bar and clean the tables. [ he blinked and gestured to the bar stools on the left ] Would you like a seat? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notamasochist 2013-06-01 12:29 am UTC (link)
	Sure. [He takes the offered seat and looks around the bar quickly before turning back to Hei.] I guess I just don't see you as the type of person to be doing this. Did you do something like this back home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-06-02 01:57 am UTC (link)
	[ Hei nodded again, meek and unassuming as any good barkeep should be. ] I did odd jobs, back home. Most people don't see the man quietly going about his business. [ it's a small concession, the added information, to the knowledge that Zero already possessed. It is likewise a nod to Tear. Friendship should not be built on deceit. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notamasochist 2013-06-04 04:12 pm UTC (link)
	[Most people don't see the man quietly going about his business. Those words hit him pretty hard in the gut. Something he'd always attempted to do but no matter how hard he tried, he still stood out.] I assume you have reasons to remain invisible, so I won't ask why. Just...were you successful back home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bottomless_pit 2013-06-07 04:19 am UTC (link)
	[ Hei smiled neutrally as he turned from cleaning the glassware to wiping down the counter. ] I got the job done. [ which was all the answer he would give. BK201 did have a reputation. not a single one knew his face. Or that of his sister's for that matter. ] May I get you something? A beer, perhaps? [ he is the barkeep, after all. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Because June was great for both of us \o/ notamasochist 2013-07-03 02:59 am UTC (link)
	[That's what he thought. It isn't a surprise at all.] I'm not drinking tonight. [Very seldom would you find him doing so. Especially not when he feels he needs to stay alert and aware of his surroundings when Yuuki is drinking.] I'm just drinking water. If you have a recommendation for Yuuki though... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is so very, very true -_-; bottomless_pit 2013-07-05 01:17 am UTC (link)
	[ Hei looked surprised and didn't take long for him to find Yuuk waiting further back in the crowd. ] Perhaps something light then? [ he paused and then nodded ] A shirley temple, perhaps. It's quite popular back in the states, or so I have heard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Hei smiles and continues wiping a glass dry as he ponders. ] A peach flavored drink, I believe. Yes, we should have some in the back. Would you like a glass? [ or if not, he'll mix some fair approximation of it. Sake, after all, is not an uncommon staple in a bar at Marina. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
