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.))

[It is interesting how even the smell of the building has changed since the Rusty Spoon became Merlotte's. So many people in one place always brings out a unique scent. But the smell of the food is still very good to her. She sits at a table in the very center when she eats, listening and observing everything she can. When she's done she wanders the room for some time before deciding to take her leave, but someone in her path could make her change her mind.]

[ He doesn't mean to change her mind, he just happened to be passing between the tables with an overladen tray of glasses and pitchers when it happened. The next thing he knew, he was practically bowled over by a patron scooting out of his chair and Hei tripped over his own feet and spun in a slow circle and started to fall and...

Well, lets just say Laura's stomach was a very convenient place to thrust his try and catch his balance. Opps! ]

M-my apologies!

[ Hei quickly took back his tray, clutching it tight as he stared wide-eyed at Laura. ]

You... didn't get hurt, did you?

[ he certainly hoped not. Merlotte liked his patrons hale and healthy. ]

	[She brings up her hands quickly to stop the tray, hands moving probably faster than he had expected, but the tray jerks and the dishes dot not fall.] It is fine. I am not injured. [She looks him over. This is Saya's friend. She can smell her on him.] You should carry less. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Hei looked suitably chagrined as he cradled his tray closer to his frame. ] Ah, yes. I'll... We weren't expecting so many to come out today. [ he half bows ] Thank-you miss. You weren't... on your way out, were you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Laura can understand that, but it does not change her opinion.] Overextending yourself leads to mistakes. [The bow was confusing, if only because she did not believe it was necessary. He does not smell as embarrassed as he portrays himself to be.] I have not ordered yet. [She has not even bothered to ask for a menu.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he blinked and then beamed. ] Then if you'll let me lead you to a table, I would be happy to serve you. [ and he was embarrassed, if only because he should have avoided he misstep entirely, could have, if he were honest. Sometimes "Li" was more trouble then he was worth. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She was going to pick a table herself, but...she gives a brief nod.] Fine. [Why not let him? It is his job to do this. She waits for his direction.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ he easily leads her to a booth. It wasn't a corner one; those were all occupied, but it was a booth that gave a clear view of the door and the exits. Prime real estate, to be fair. ]

Please, sit here. I'm sure someone will join you in a moment. The bar tonight seems to be full of people making new acquaintances. [ he smiled apologetically ] It's the new inmates.

	[She follows and takes a seat, but does not once take her eyes off of him.] They arrive every few days, it is not that unique. [She does not understand why some make such a big deal out of it. But they are easier to observe when they congregate.] Have you met some of the new inmates tonight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Hei nodded ] Several although it's not as easy to catch a name as one might think. [ dissemination is an art form after all. As is building trust. ] But to the celebration; it is sometimes comforting, seeing old friends again, if you are so lucky, that is. [ or unlucky. Hei was neutral on this subject. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
