[236] action; open
[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.]

[ 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)

	[ ... ] 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.
