[video/action] 253 - & devil's compass mingle
[The Devil's Compass is no longer littered with candles, save perhaps a few on the bar that add a little something to the dim lighting that recreates the old-world style of tavern the place is modeled after. It's actually quite clean otherwise, with Tyki lounging in one of the booths with a bent knee up on the seat and the camera looking at him sitting there with a cigarette drooping out of the corner of his mouth.]

If you haven't been to the Devil's Compass yet for the drink or my company, I'll give you two further incentives.

[Sidelong he reaches to crush out the cigarette, a plume of smoke coiling upward.]

One, there's fresh pie thanks to the lovely Charlotte.

[His eyes flick up to the camera with a dangerous glint while his lips curl.] Second, this week we've also got a barmaid. She doesn't bite but she might scratch.

[And so Tyki's bar is open as always but with a mingle! And for the next week Kitty Pryde (the elder) will be roped into being the Compass' barmaid due to a bet gone wrong. Tyki will be exceptionally cheerful about this, more often behind the bar than usual (which in itself is fairly often) at least while she's on the job. This means he'll be rather friendly and talkative. Best time to meet him, really. He'll have a thread right here.]

	Maybe they just need a better example. [She walks over, reaching out to take his glass. He can always grab for it of course, but there's that pesky phasing of hers to keep it nice and unobtainable while she tips it over to pour some of it's contents out on his table.] Much better.

[He probably needs to be cut off anyway; with 20% of his body mass missing and replaced by machines he gets drunk pretty quickly. He grins as his drink is snatched away, not looking at all perturbed although he does shift his boots to avoid getting splashed.]

I think I may have just fallen in love with you. Please excuse me for not getting down on one knee and dramatically confessing it.

	[She's actually pretty amused by that reaction. Weirdly respects it too. No overreacting to her escalation.] Well, it's no tip, but what is in a place without money? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It takes a lot to get any sort of serious reaction out of him.] Do my affections really mean so little to you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-13 03:19 pm UTC (link)
	Mm, time will tell. Does a name come with those affections? [She steps over to the bar, but not so far she's out of earshot. Just grabbing a fresh towel which she just kind of lays over the spill. Not so much the cleaning.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-01-14 03:11 am UTC (link)
	[He makes a token effort to avoid the towel. Barely.] Ton Phanan; pilot, wit and superior intellect. And you are? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lost a bet. How did you end up in this dive? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-01-15 02:27 pm UTC (link)
	Bored and lonely. It's a combination that tends to lend itself to this sort of place. What sort of bet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-15 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	It involved the raptors. [Should she really be telling people in the light of day it was a bet to kill the most in ten minutes? He totally cheated too. She'll just push onward.] Wow, bored and lonely. Sounds enchanting. No one from home around? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-01-17 02:32 pm UTC (link)
	What about them? Also, hypothetically, if a hypothetical cyborg wanted to capture one as a pet, where would he look? [He cannot let this idea go.] Would you really use that word to describe me? Enchanting? Aww. And no, not really, but I've only been here a few days and have yet to cultivate the brilliant and flourishing social life I'm sure is on its way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Any minute now. [She looks around as if to see the social life heading toward them.]

A hypothetical cyborg would go to sector 6 to look, but when everything is working correctly only we can go in and out of that sector. You couldn't even drag one through the border. And the bet included how many we could take out in a given time. [Which sounds awful and brutal in the cold light of day, but at the time...?]

	[He's sure its on its way.] That's so disappointing. The inability to capture one, I mean, not your lost bet, although that's disappointing, too. Who'd you lose to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-18 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	The bar's proprietor. [She glances around to see him behind the bar and nods slightly in his direction.] Tyki Mikk. What would you do with a pet raptor anyway? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-01-19 12:46 am UTC (link)
	What would you have gotten if you'd won? I think the question you should be asking is what wouldn't I do with a pet raptor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She hesitates at that question. She asked for Tyki to stop messing with Reid if she won. That doesn't feel like information to give out lightly and it's hardly fun.] Something a lot better than a week of him serving as a barmaid.

And I'm hoping there are lots of things you wouldn't do with your pet raptor. Some things are sure to violate at least a few of the prison rules.

	Surely you've noticed by now that I'm lovingly eccentric. I really don't care about rule breaking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-19 03:51 pm UTC (link)
	But you could get punished and then you might have to write and read a poem to the network. [She smirks a little. Some of the punishments are ridiculous.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-01-20 03:11 am UTC (link)
	That's the sort of punishment they deal out here? That's phenomenal. I can respect that sort of creativity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-20 07:12 am UTC (link)
	Sometimes. Sometimes you might get power dampening, house arrest, or solitary confinement. It seems to be randomized so any punishment could give you a big or little punishment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-01-20 12:56 pm UTC (link)
	Hmm. Well I'm always a fan of the unconventional. [He looks like he wants to punctuate that with a drink but remembers it is currently dripping off the table, so he settles for a change in subject instead.] So I'm guessing you're the Kitty I'm supposed to talk to about this Defense Force I keep hearing about? Unless there's more than one of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-21 05:28 am UTC (link)
	[That earns him a smirk.] As a matter of fact there are two of me here, but you happened to pick the one in charge. Interested in joining us or overthrowing us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-01-21 06:13 pm UTC (link)
	I always hate it when my absurd comments end up being true. It takes the fun out of it. And I hadn't given overthrowing any thought until now. It does sound like it could be fun, but if not I suppose joining would be a distant second best option. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-22 05:25 am UTC (link)
	Well, if you're set on the joining I guess I should tell you we have an interview process where we'll ask you things including your name if you want to give me a spoiler. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
