[devil's compass]

[Old soul or new maybe today's the day you wander into the Devil's Compass, an old-fashioned bar in Sector four. In fact the door's propped open late into the afternoon, before it shuts again with the oncoming rain and traps in the smoky atmosphere. Behind the bar for the most part of the day will be Tyki Mikk himself, a tall and dark haired man in a white shirt with the sleeves rolled back and a well fit but unbuttoned vest. He's tending to the bar with a rag, occasionally moving over to sort out an arrangement of bottles. Quite at home.]

[prayer facility]

[Sometime into the evening a faint tune is floating out of the non-denominational prayer facility in Sector five. If you care to wander in you would see Tyki sitting by the piano, playing it with lazy ease and a briefly bowed head in concentration. He's not wrapped up in the music so much as he is in trying to remember the keys, occasionally slipping and restarting sections or playing through the flaws. Practiced but not perfect, his fingers fly by on the faster sections and linger on the slower.

It'll take him a moment to realize anyone's watching. Didn't think he'd be found here of all places.]

[ There's nothing to do besides drink. So Roxy decides she's going to taste the booze of every bar in the dome. She decides to start with a bar she's been in a few times before, but never for too long. She never felt too good at cards or pool and it wasn't too lively.

She steps in and just a tiny bit unevenly saunters up to the main bar rather than any sort of table. It doesn't feel like the sort of place that'd have a waiter.

Her first thought on actually seeing the guy behind the counter is 'wowie what a hot'. She bats her eyelashes and grins at him, checking him out. ]

Heeeey-o, handsome. You got any recommendatives for a gal lookin' to get hammered?

[There's a good reason the Compass tends to be void of the lively atmosphere of the dome's other share of bars and that is simply because it's owned and manned by one Tyki Mikk. Who, if you've been around long enough to hear, does not have the sweetest reputation; murder, torture, an assortment of fouls while in the facility. But it's not easy to pick up on, especially with the flirtatious smile he shoots back at Roxy and the way he's dressed lazily in a well tailored shirt half unbuttoned.

He's still drying a tumbler while he walks over to where she stands along the inner side of the bar.] Well, love. How quickly do you want to get drunk?

	[ Roxy ponders it a moment. Yeah, how quick? ] Let's say medium-rare. Already a lil wee bit tipsy so let's go easy mode. Cause, you know, the view's nice and I'd totes hate to black out early. [ She looks him over for a moment and adds onto that. ] I like it sweet. Uh. Booze, I mean. The drink. Hook me up, brother, I'm just drying up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Can't have that. [Tyki remarks with a slightly crooked smile, dropping his eyes from her down to his hands between which he's procured a glass and begun mixing something. His brows are quirked and his tone laced with amusement, though when he looks back up at her it's a glance once again flirtatiously uncontained.]

I'll keep you around for a while yet, I'd hate to lose the view just as much.

[ She flushes red, flattered and amused. It's kind of rare for anyone to REALLY play along with her hitting on them. Maybe he's just shitting around, Roxy isn't sure, but she's going to take what she can get. ]

Eheheh. I'll try not to get too fucked up then. Just for you.

[ She giggles and watches him mix the drink, sliding her hand across the counter. ]

And here's the imaginary dollar sliiiiding your way, keep the invisible change 'cause damn am I rolling in the dough. I gotta be. The boonbucks are just falling from my sleeves and jingling in my coinpurse leavin' me one hell of a pickpocket's wet dream. You want a 100% tip? I got that. Shit is covered, solid, brickity-thickity.

[And he just chuckles, sliding her the drink in turn before making a point of taking that invisible dollar-- popping it taunt between his two hands before folding it and sticking in to the inside pocket of his waistcoat. He used to do similar things for Eaze's entertainment, just with a lack of winking and slyly flirtatious smiles.]

Rich girl, I like that.

[Leaning on his elbows against the bar directly in front of her, he lowers down on them just a bit.] Now I need to convince you to be a regular.

	[ She laughs, clapping once before taking a long sip of the drink. It's a good mix. ] Well, mister, you could start by givin' me your name. I'm Lalonde-- Roxy Lalonde. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[His brows lift and his smile is deceivingly friendly.] Pleasure's mine, Roxy. I'm Tyki, Tyki Mikk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Roxy grins and drinks. ] Regular made. I'll be stopping by here more often. [ Wink. ] It's pretty damn nice. A few of the other bars are nice too, but this is ol' fashioned class. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2013-09-11 12:33 am UTC (link)
	[His smile lingers and he leans a little closer, drawing a circle in the air with a finger.] You're stealing my heart Roxy, when you say things like that. [This is like courting noblemen's daughters; a leak of charisma and a well aimed compliment do wonders.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ God he's so hot. He's so hot. She accidentally downs her entire drink. She subtly slides it towards him. ] God you know how to make a gal swoon. You break a lot of hearts, Mr Mikk? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Never on purpose. [Mostly it's true, if he doesn't care it's not with intent.] Another round? [He'll fill her glass without shifting away.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Hell yes it is. Roxy will be taking a big ass sip. ]

Nah, nothing in particululu. I haven't really hung too hard in this place before, and my-- [ She doesn't really want to talk about girlfriends when she's flirting this hard, so... ] --- homegirl's up and disappeared from the place. I wasn't here for a good while, but I came back to that. So I'm here to wash away them sorrows in a tasty as fuck bev.

	Ahah. [He nods his head, leaning his chin on the palm of his upturned head, leaning forward with his elbow on the bar. His other hand still holds the bottle by the neck, to refill her next glass.] I'm not unfamiliar with that predicament, happened to me once. Was a while ago, mind you...

[ More sipping. ]

Yeah! You get me, then, the cold hard bite of losin' someone real dear to the third grade science fair project that is that fuckin' dimensional stabilizer. Popsicle sticks and toothpicks.

But man, I don't wanna be sad and I sure as hell don't wanna bring you down, either. So: back to the cheerful and the happy, handsome. How long you been hereabouts?

[He lost someone too, yes, a thought that has him tilt his head to another angle and close his lips over his smile for a fraction of a second. But then it flickers back with a crackle of the usual deviousness behind his eyes, a flirtatious grin worn easy in response to her question.

She's fun to talk to, at least. His evening could be worse.] Six months, more or less. I try not to count it too often.

	[ Six months doesn't seem as long as it could be, but it's still... ] That's a lot longer than most people. Damn. Any battle scars? Prison tats? If not, you gotta get at least one. You're in the big house for the long haul and it's time to done yourself up all fancy with a shitty ass blue pen tat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He chuckles.] I earned a scar or two in my time, yes. But. [He tugs on the collar of his shirt with a wink.] They're a little hard to see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retrogame 2013-09-27 10:48 am UTC (link)
	[ ... ] Oh, Mr Mikk. You are one heck of a man. You better have been up to real nasty things to earn them scars. Bad boys aren't my usual style, but there's a first time for everything and man am I ever okay with that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He just chuckles.] Maybe sometime I'm off the clock I'll show them to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She flushes red, embarrassed and charmed and drunk. ] Let's call it a date. No holds barred "you show me yours, I'll show you mine". I ain't got none from prison, but I got a few stories to tell anyway. [ Roxy laughs at herself and drinks. ] Not great ones, like I'm totes sure yours are-- but hey! A story's a story.
