I-

....

...Stupid.

Good Spirits is now open.




[Guess who's trying to get active while Guy's kidnapped? Sitting around, bitching at people, and breaking things won't solve anything, so for once Asch is being an adult about it. He has no idea what Meryl's bar schedule is, so with Guy gone he's claiming the bartender job. ...Hopefully this will not end badly. He'll be there every day from now until Guy returns, so feel free to challenge his novice mixing skills.

Come bother the awkward redhead?]

No, Guy actually smiles.

Besides, you look more like Luke! ♥ [We're also very cute. 8D]

[dissonates]

Considering how little there is to do in Luceti, yeah.

[dissonates]

Shut up! I don't need to hear that from you. [Not cute at all. >:|]

[Action]

[freedomofscore.livejournal.com]

Perhaps, though I should have invested more time frequenting places for social gathering.

[Action]

[dissonates]

I guess this is as good a chance as any. [Though socializing isn't exactly Asch's strong spot.]

[Action]

[freedomofscore.livejournal.com]

And you? I don't seem to see you around as much as I would expect.

[Action]

[dissonates]

Do you really expect someone like me to get involved with the community? [He's a God-General in the espionage department, man, raised for doing the dirty work. Social coordinator he is not.]

It's not such a bad thing.

[Action]

[dissonates]

I never said it was a bad thing. [Asch sets aside the cleaned-and-dried mixer and lifts his head to give Frings a steady look.] It's just not something I'm capable of without good reason. [Namely, a combat situation.]

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

Boooo. Someone's cranky today~ And all I wanted was a drink, too!

[Action]

[freedomofscore.livejournal.com]

Socializing for the sake of meeting new people isn't a good enough reason?

[dissonates]

[...Ugh. Guy would be friendly and listen to her, wouldn't he? He can't fill the other man's shoes if he's going to bitch people out of the place. Hm...]

Fine, I'll try to make that fruit whatever-it-is. What did he put in it?

[Action]

[dissonates]

I have no skills with small talk. Why would I want to do something that just makes me uncomfortable? [Nevermind the fact that bartenders are usually fluent in all forms of small talk. Whoops.]

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

Umm. He called it a virgin drink~? And I asked for something sweet! I think he used some syrup or something. And there was a cherry in it, too!

[Helpful, Anise is not. .o/]

[dissonates]

...That's not much to work with.

[Virgin drink means no alcohol, he knows that much. ...What the hell do you use as a base when there's no alcohol!? Asch starts studying the mixing ingredients Guy's arranged behind the bar counter. He'd made a few fruity drinks when Guy had taught him to mix, hadn't he...?]

[Action]

[freedomofscore.livejournal.com]

I believe this constitutes as small talk, does it not?

[Action]

[dissonates]

I'm just responding to what you're saying. If you finish with a subject, don't expect me to continue the conversation myself.

[Action]

[freedomofscore.livejournal.com]

Point. Still, I'm surprised you decided to take up temporary employment as a bartender. Conversing with your customers is a necessary skill, after all.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Crap, caught.] ...that's why Guy's better at this than I am. I'm just filling in for him.

[Action]

[freedomofscore.livejournal.com]

It's a good opportunity to learn, isn't it?

[Action]

[dissonates]

That depends on who comes in to talk. [Annoying people would be bad.]

[galddigger.livejournal.com]

Oh, well. I guess I could always come back when Guy's returned.

[dissonates]

Do you want me to try or not? [GOD MAKE UP YOUR MIND.]

[Action]

[freedomofscore.livejournal.com]

It would cause quite a bit of problem if you don't get along.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[It takes all the mental restraint he has to keep from saying something akin to "no shit".] ...Right. But you're my first customer.
