[There's a bit of a radio silence before he starts up, somewhat hesitant but trying to emulate a certain someone's social confidence.]

This can't be that hard, he does it every time.

To all the New Feathers- I'm Asch, and right now I'm helping to run the bar, Good Spirits. The usual bartender is out of commission for a while, but if there's anything you need, I'll do what I can. If there's anyone with... special needs as far as drinks go, chances are it's probably here. Meryl works here too, and she's been in Luceti longer than I have, so you can ask her questions as well.

...And to everyone else as well, I've decided that the bar's going to run a contest. A while ago I mixed a drink at random, but I haven't named it yet. I'm not very good at that sort of thing, so I need someone to name it for me. Come to Good Spirits any time this week and I'll mix it for you, and if you think of a name for it, you can try for the contest. I don't know what the prize will be, but I can figure that out later. [He's clearly awesome at running contests.] The drink is alcohol, though, so I don't want any kids showing up.


[Once again, Asch is at the bar, taking care of business. Look, he's even dressed as a bartender, d'awww. Feel free to drop in or just harass him via the journal.]

I am trying... [Siiiiip of drink here-] to gather interest in such a thing.

[dissonates]

[Oh man your pauses are gonna irritate some fussy people, Horatio.]

Any luck, then?

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

[He totally does it on purpose too. Just because of that.]

I have attracted some attention thus far, and from that I hope to make some headway- [...A pause before-] Excuse me, but son can I ask how old you are?

[dissonates]

[Sly bastard.

...Also, boy? Who the hell do you think you are to call him that.]

I'm not your boy. But I'm eighteen.

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

[Good, he reacted-]

A tad young by the standards I'm used to. My apologies. [However, the apology borders on sounding amusedly sarcastic. More importantly- Do that have nametags in this bar... no. Of course not, it's a bar. Well, moving on to the more important part he's going to offer a hand to sake]

It seems you know of me, but my name is Horatio Caine.

[dissonates]

Don't underestimate me. On my world, I'd outrank you. [Still, he offers out his hand as well.] Like I said, I'm Asch.

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

[Good, then let's have a nice firm manly shake. Good times]

Dark I ask for your position then, Asch?

[dissonates]

[Hm, steady enough. Asch approves.]

It's called God-General. I don't think it's a rank that exists on most worlds, though. No one else has heard of it.

[There's also the whole in-line-for-the-throne thing, but that knowledge is earned.]

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

Military, I assume. [...Pause, and a sip later:]

Nice to meet you then, General.

[dissonates]

It's a religious military. Don't call me that, though. I'm more or less retired.

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

A theocracy with a military. [...Well that might be a dated idea for him, but on other planets? Well, maybe that's normal. He doesn't shrug or anything, but there wasn't any sarcasm or what have you in that phrase. He takes another sip... and he is thinking about a name. But now he can't resist-]

I'm sorry them, Asch. Sounds like quite the short career.

[dissonates]

Lots of soldiers have short careers. It's not uncommon.

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

I... suppose it's not. [There's only a small bit of semi-playful sarcasm in there. But not really. It does give the idea he knows that Asch means]

[And with that, Caine mentally makes a footnote: Asch, former general, hails from a theology, current assistant bartender, has things to hide, possibly deceased. But onto the matters at hand-]

This is an interesting concoction.

[dissonates]

[Lovely, a subject change. Asch doesn't let his expression change, but he's relieved about that.]

People seem to like it.

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

[So bro, what does this taste like to help with the naming :C But ERR-]

I think I can see why.

[dissonates]

[Sweet fruits and honey. It's sort of an alcoholic juice. |D But not too sweet, considering it has a bite.]

Any suggestions, then?

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

[I had to think way too long about this to make a suitably godawful pun-]

Tropic Thunder.

[dissonates]

[And Asch hardly bats a lash.]

Thanks, I'll add it to the list.

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

You're... welcome.

[DRINK. And this is some good juice bro]

[dissonates]

[Damn right. My juicebox brings all the boys to the yard.]
