Bar Mingle: Week 2

[latinumsbetter]

Every evening at dusk (unless, for some reason, Quark is indisposed,) the Eatery transforms into Quark's Bar. The table becomes a bartop with chairs lined up on one side. Some of the extra chairs are placed along the wall behind the bar as a makeshift bench for ingredients, glasses, ice, and anything else. There are bowls of peanuts placed on top of the bar for free snacking. On one end of the bar there's a selection of pastries, fresh-baked by Lebkuchen, who might also be there.

As of Monday, there are some new additions to the bar. On one end of the table is a interesting look board game. Next to it is a plate of lebkuchen, left out for a specific bunch of fuzzy creatures that seem to like them.. In another corner is a roulette-esque kind of game.

In the rafters, there's a whole swarm of Zubats now, and one or two of them might come down to say hello. If they do, Quark is shooing them away again, but they only go back up to the ceiling.


Outside the door to the Eatery is a sign, handwritten, and further inside, the menu tacked up in a couple places behind the bar:

[He sure does hear those loud and clear! He's turning towards that immediately, making a beeline for the kitchen. Ranma and Alex are the first two possibilities to spring to his mind--they're both teenage human boys and he remembers how much those eat.

He pushes the door to the kitchen open, already speaking as he steps inside]

You know, if you wanted something from the bar early, you could've just come and got me--

1/2

[letsplayamod]

[In many instances, Quark's instincts might have been correct! Teenage human boys are bottomless garbage disposals.

But...the teenage boys here are probably (looking at you, Ranma) not likely to sit on the counter while shoving their faces with ill-gotten pastries. They're also actually shaped like human boys which the three creatures sitting with their tiny legs dangling off the counter's edge are not-]

2/2

[letsplayamod]

[These little guys seem to be having a great time! The three of these small, fluffy grey creatures are near-identical to each other save for some tiny differences- one of them seems to be a little rounder and fluffier than the other two and another is wearing...a little gold crown? And a little pink dress?

The one in pink is mid-chomp on a lebkuchen when it notices Quark.]

Ah! Ears!

Run run!

Snack over!

[And with a little rush of green sparkles and light wind all three vanish.

...

This is immediately followed by the sound of the Tongo wheel spinning again.]

[latinumsbetter]

Wh--hey! Come back here--

[and Quark spins on his heel, running back towards the main room, trying to see if he can catch sight of them again]

[letsplayamod]

[Welp, he doesn't have to look far. It looks like they poofed from the kitchen and, upon reappearing in the main room, instantly got distracted by the Tongo board...again.

The fluffy one is reposed on the spinning wheel while the less fluffy one spins it with it's little mitten paws. The one in the crown sits in the silver bowl reserved for latinum, still stuffing the remains of a cookie into it's rounded cheeks.]

[latinumsbetter]

[Quark slows to a stop just outside the door to the Kitchen and just...stares at them for a moment. Then he huffs, putting his hands on his hips. He considers a couple different options, but ultimately settles on:]

You wanna learn to actually play that or are you just enjoying the spinning?

[dryly]

[eeeonetwothree]

[ And in comes Omega, guns not blazing but at the very least deployed. ]

I DETECTED ANOMALOUS AND UNKNOWN VOCAL PATTERNS. IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT?

[latinumsbetter]

[the moment Quark turns to look at him--and sees those guns--his eyes are going wide]

Hey--what do you think you're doing in here with those?! Put those away, you maniac! And get out!

[murchada]

[she honestly has no clue about the situation inside the bar, but she spots Omega going into the bar and oh no--]

Hey-- Hey, stop that. Guns down.

[catsgothistongue]

[You know, this is Ranma's first time actually swing by Quark's newest joint added to their line-up of locations. Him waltzing in on a. furry gremlins running amuck and b. omega going two-for-two with his guns... Yeah. Yeah, that's par for the course for his first arrival.

Hey. Hey Omega.]

Really man? Don'tcha remember what happened last time ya' went guns-a-blazing?

[You've got a new accessory on your head, one pigtailed teenager just staring down with exasperation.]

[markofnobility]

[Ferdinand hears Omega... well he's not sure 'yelling' is the right term for the robots All Caps All The Time voice is but still- and comes running in too.]

Are we under attac- Oh! Little creatures!

[ Mood switch on a dime]

[eeeonetwothree]

[ Don’t step on Gamma the gopher, Ranma.

He does not react to Ranma standing on his head, but he does at least lower his weapons in response to what he and Jeira ask. And…he just ignores Quark. Yeah, he’s officially too difficult to interact with. Best to simply show his good intentions. ]

MY GUNS ARE NOT “A BLAZIN’”. THEY ARE MERELY DEPLOYED IN CASE OF DANGER. IN WHICH CASE…

[ He focuses on the Winions and attempts to scan them. ]

…CURIOUS. THEY REGISTER AS ORGANIC, BUT. NOT IN THE SAME WAY AS A NORMAL LIFEFORM.

[markofnobility]

... perhaps they are magic? Did they come from the cornucopia?

[catsgothistongue]

[He wouldn't! He made sure not to squish the gopher while using Omega like a platform. Ranma doesn't remove himself just yet, doing some stretches in place on the gun-toting robot. It's fine.]

Or ghosts. Those are sorta-organic.

[eeeonetwothree]

THEY ARE SIMILAR TO ATHENA’S OWL. PERHAPS ANOTHER GOD IS NEARBY?

[taintedfayth]

[Hi, he also heard the yelling and came to see if we were having another Omega Incident--]

They do not appear to be fiends...

[latinumsbetter]

[before, Quark had been happy to be ignored. Now? Not so much.

To Cerejeira, while glaring at Omega:]

Jeira. You said you'd deal with him. Get that thing out of my bar.

[murchada]

I'm working on it, give me a second...

[letsplayamod]

[Average Fluff freezes, looking at the growing cluster of strangers with wide, round eyes while Round And Fluffy continues to quickly spin like a small child trapped on a playground roundabout. It's hard to tell if it's frightened or nervous or even about to attack if it does feel threatened...

Then it looks to Quark and excitedly raises up it's tiny arms.]

Play a game!

[Uppies!!!]

[murchada]

[she was honestly so focused on the Omega of it all she's only now noticing

the critters]

...

[they're......]

C... Cute...

[latinumsbetter]

[That...fortunately pulls his attention temporarily away from Omega. He's still deliberately not turning his back to him as he moves closer to whatever these things are.

He contemplates how it's raising its arms for a minute...but he was there when his nephew was a baby. He knows that universal sign. He sighs, picking it up and settling it in the crook of his arm]

Alright, so this is a game called Tongo, and it's all about acquiring profit and managing the market--

[eeeonetwothree]

[ Omega just stares at them from across the room meanwhile.

Go on, you little monsters. Make a move. He dares you. ]

[pariunt]

Well. You're quite the cute creature, aren't you?

[You don't see anything like that in the Underdark.]

[murchada]

Hey.

[knock knock on the robot.]

You can't be doing stuff like this, Omega.

[stringup]

[ You know, she just wanted to swing by to grab a snack she can take to her room until she walks in on All This.

... ... ...

Maybe she can turn on her heel and just leave. This looks like a headache, actually. ]
