Welcome Inn , Everyone!
 

*Wiping the last of the glasses, I place it behind the counter along with the others. I look at the clock and see it is almost opening time*

Damn! Where is this new barmaid that's supposed to be joining? The first day that my new Inn is open and she's late! I still can't believe that my last one had run off with a dawg trainer at the last minute. Not that she did a lot of work anyway. All she did was sit on people's (men's) laps.

*I look around the bar and lounge to make sure everything is ready for its first opening*

It is!

Ready for the new punters who want get involved in SRP and use this thread to introduce themselves,

or...

for punters who want somewhere to go for a chat and a beer.

Where is that girl?

*Giving the counter's surface a last wipe, I pull up the top and go to the door. With the door unlocked, I step back*

I am finally open for business...


PS: This is an OOC thread (Out Of Character) which means just come as yourself. If you are looking at this, why not pop in and introduce yourself? The first pint is on the house!

Tib the Landlord

What a way to begin my first day on the job...
 

Fifteen minutes late on my first day. Well, I couldn't help it if we had an accident. Those are the chances you take with public transportation in the city, I think as I try to reassure myself that my new boss will understand.

As the cab limped to the curb, I paid my fare and grumbled that the best tip he'd get from me was to take a course at the nearest driving school. Slamming the door behind me, I stood outside the bar and looked up.

The neon flashed bright red against the gathering night WELCOME INN... WELCOME INN... I took a deep breath and shifted my bag over my shoulder, pulling the door open.

"Hiya!" I called out to the man behind the bar. "You must be the boss. I'm... "

"Late. You're late," he grumbled in response.

Oh, brother. This one is gonna take some warming up to.

"Alright, put your coat in the cloakroom...."

*I stop in my tracks!!!!*

:confused:

What are you doing here??? And what have you done with the new barmaid???

What?

I am The Boss! Where's my barmaid and why aren't you in New Clapton with your dawg trainer???

Then I realise the awful truth.
 

Maid is my new barmaid! It was all a con so she could get that damn payrise she was after. :(

*About to reach for the gun when I spy Henry coming in*

Hiya, Henry. See you found the place okay (and judging from your number of posts, you just joined Pixies too).

Don't worry about being a virgin here. A few posts with Maid will soon cure you of that. ;)

Now what drink would you like?

*Offering Henry a cup of coffee*

I take it you never been to Pixies before? Looked around yet?

Re: Then I realise the awful truth.
 

Pah! You make it sound like it's a bad thing. :p

Re: Re: Then I realise the awful truth.
 

:rolleyes:

You should like it.

Hi, Lilith. I was going to PM you to invite you over but I see that you have beaten me to it. How do you like the new place?

And I agree. Now that she has got her payrise, Maid does have to work for her tips (for which I get 50%).

:eek: Lilith! First thought you said hips. LOL

I haven't had a Mudslide in yonks. Pouring you a second and another for myself. :D

See how cheeky Tib tries to be? :rolleyes: Pah!!

Oi! No drinking on the job!

I don't believe it! She has only been back for five minutes and she is already taking a break and drinking the profits!!!??? :eek:

I belong to the union. I can have breaks. Lots of them. :p

Slave driver.

Oh why didn't I interview her myself.

What a fool! :(

*Walking in after an extremely long kip*.

Hiya, Tib (he looks very depressed), Maid, Lilith, Spellcaster. How are the lot of you.

Can I have a martini, Tib. Shaken, not stirred. ;)

Glad that you have started Aftermath up again. I was enjoying that.

Nefar-what??

:confused:

Hiya, Gray. It should feel like home since it is a replica of the first Inn.

Maid, get your butt off that chair and serve the punter.

Speaking of butts... You are far too cheeky for your own good, Tibvo. You cannot hope to defeat me in a war of wits. Surrender now.

Hi Maid. Ya know what they say, "Build it and Gray will show up someplace." (That's not right is it?)

I'm with Tib, the nefer what? Is that some kind of Egyptian goddess?

Hi Henry, Lilith and whomever else is lurking in the dark corners.

Jaylene walks in and is struck by a strange sense of deja vu. She Shrugs it off, hops up on a stool at the bar.

A pinapple malibu please...

Spying an old (not in age) friend
 

*Putting down the glass I am cleaning, I decide to take a leaf out of Maid's book and have a break. Finding a chair, I sit down with my War of the Worlds book.*
