Week one

[letsplayamod]

You've all met Athena, and she's made her point quite clear. She's fully committed to making this world better, and you're the ones who agreed to lend a hand. Something she's obviously quite thankful for.

It's really not so bad around here. Despite the sky, and the state of the land, things are fairly calm. You've got plenty of time to get used to it, and each other. Maybe this'll be easier than it seems.

QUARK

[latinumsbetter]

[Come hang out at the bar! Your friendly, local bartender is here and ready to get you a drink of your choice, maybe a snack, and listen to your woes. Pull up a chair!]

[markofnobility]

Look at all this!

[ Ferdinand wanders in shortly after Quark is finished, eyes wide with delighted surprise. He pauses to read the sign, nodding to himself. Of course Quark doesn't have access to anything Ferdinand couldn't go get from the pantry himself. But you pay for the convience and experince! He walks over, placing a token on the "counter" before sitting, legs primmly crossed]

And what would you suggest, good barkeep?

[latinumsbetter]

[Quark brightens as Ferdinand enters, immediately smiling at the token he places down. He leans on what is now the bar towards him with a forearm, eyeing him]

I've got a couple ideas. You've been working hard today, though, right?

[markofnobility]

Always! Though I will admit it is difficult to find ways to stay busy here.

[latinumsbetter]

True enough, since we're still figuring out our powers and all that.

But, that being said, I think I know just the thing.

[he turns away from him, giving him his back while he grabs a glass, a couple different fruit juices, and a small pitcher with some teabags in it? He'll mix those up in specific portions that are just in his head (it's eyeballed), along with a healthy amount of ice, which he swirls around with a straw. He then garnishes it with with a couple leaves, before turning and placing it on the bar in front of him.]

There. See how that suits you.

[what Ferdinand will get, if he takes a sip, will be a nice cold burst of peach, orange, guava and lychee juice mixed with a base of iced tea, and garnished with mint leaves and a slice of orange.]

[markofnobility]

[ ferdinand nods along- he hasn't had much luck with his so called power yet. But he's not worried- his natural skill will cover any lack until he powers through, like always.

He tries not to crane peek like a child, but his curiosity is quite peeked when he smells fresh cirtus. The tea is no surprise, but...

He eyes the drink for a moment: tea on ice? He never even considered it. But when he sips his eyes widen with delight]

Oh! Quark this is amazing!

[latinumsbetter]

[Quark grins widely at that, puffing up a bit]

What can I say, I know my drinks. [he takes that token off the bar, flicking it into the air and watching it spin, before catching it and tucking it away inside his jacket.

He then leans on the bar again, genial as ever.]

So! How's your first five days here treating you?

[markofnobility]

[he takes another long sip of his tea, hmming softly in enjoyment before he speaks]

Ah, one can not complain too much. It... is still all very surreal though.

[latinumsbetter]

Surreal's a word for it. [Quark nudges a bowl of salted peanuts a little closer, pointedly, taking a couple for himself and popping them in his mouth]

A lot of it's been unexpected, but the robot busting through the wall was definitely the peak, if you ask me.

[sweetsynergy]

[Glancing over the setup.]

Making yourself at home, I take it?

[latinumsbetter]

[Quark looks up from where he's wiping down the "bar", and he grins, widely, once he sees who it is]

Of course! There isn't a place to gather every evening, so that niche was begging to be filled. Naturally, I had to oblige.

[murchada]

[she's not really here for the bar or anything. honestly, she was just planning to grab a snack and go, but then she sees the setup.

huh.]

So, you can only take the bartender out of the bar for so long, huh?

[latinumsbetter]

[Quark grins as soon as he spots her, straightening from where he was leaning on the bar]

What was I going to do, just leave this place without somewhere to gather in the evening?

[murchada]

Sure. That's what most people would do, I think.

...So, what's the special?

[latinumsbetter]

Good thing those people aren't me, then.

[His grin widens]

Why don't you have a seat and I'll mix you up something special?

[murchada]

...Sure, why not.

[she'll go ahead and take herself a seat. like she's got anything better to do.]

[latinumsbetter]

Great! Let's see what we've got here...

[and he's turning around and grabbing a glass, starting to select various fruit juices and coconut water. He'll slowly pour each one into the glass: first guava juice, then pineapple, then the coconut water on top, creating a layered drink--pink on the bottom, yellow in the middle, and a cloudy clear on top. He then adds a sprinkle of shredded coconut to the, before sliding a straw into the side.

He turns, setting the drink on the bar.]

There. A Risa Sunrise.

[murchada]

Huh...

[honestly, she's going to take a moment to really look at it, first. not that she has a lot of experience with drinks or anything, but this is something special.]

I didn't know drinks could be multicolored like that.

[raisethemoon]

My, is this the sort of establishment you have at home?

[ Luna, really, is just tickled by the whole "opens at dusk" concept. ]

[latinumsbetter]

Princess! [Quark's face splits into a grin when she enters]

It sure is. Granted, my set up at home is more elaborate than this and I have more of a variety to serve people with, but one makes do.

[raisethemoon]

It must mean a great deal to you!

[ Something like a pony's particular talent, maybe, though Luna hasn't started trying to take over the night sky here. Yet. Maybe. ]

[latinumsbetter]

Part of me hates to say it, but that bar is my life. [he says that he hates to say it, but he does sound fond, almost wistful]

[raisethemoon]

It is wonderful that you have something like that! Something that brings others together, as well. I cannot go to such places, really -

[ In general it gets weird when a princess tries to go out casually, and that's without that princess being Luna. ]

- but they have always seemed nice.

[latinumsbetter]

[that makes him look at her a little curiously]

You can't? Why not?

[raisethemoon]

I could, technically. If I wished to terrorize the staff and patrons. It is considered no small thing to have a princess arrive at any given business...

[ ...especially the princess of the night, she does not say. ]
