When: June 18
Where: Double Cross
Warnings: None at the moment


Morning or somewhere during the day

[It’s not quite opening hours yet, but Izumo still opened the bar anyway for any day patrons who might be interested in coming by.

Of course, the day is usually reserved for people underage who might be interested in checking the place out. It’s certainly not like any bar most people would be familiar with; it’s rather laid-back and calm with soft music playing in the air. It’s too low to be heard coherently, but it sounds soothing all the same.

Izumo himself could be found behind the bar counter, diligently cleaning a glass and inspecting it before he puts it away. Though, when he notices someone come in, he’ll flash a smile.]

Welcome.

Night

[Nights at the bar are usually busier.

People seem to find a perfect excuse to come in and find ways to get drunk off their asses.

Izumo doesn’t mind the rowdiness, though anyone underaged (read: clearly a child) would find themselves escorted to a calmer part of the bar and away from the drunkards.

It seems a bit more lively compared to the daytime hours; drinks are being served and food is being made to help the poor drunk souls that got themselves wasted.

Anyone who comes in may either get dragged into some sort of shenanigan by a drunkard or may find refuge at the bar. As per usual, that would be where Izumo is found, and he’s always willing to lend an ear or make a drink for his customers.]

Comments

Night

[loveheart]

[Venus is still getting use to this world but there's something about the bar that seems familiar. As if this is something she's done before with friends. She's not sure if that's the reason she's drawn to it or if it just looks so welcoming and inviting that she can't help herself. Shaking the thoughts from her head she heads in.

It's after squeezing her way through and politely excusing herself as she passes or declines seats being offered to her that she manages to make it to the bar. With finger tips tracing idly over the smooth wood finish she lifts her bright gaze to the bar tender.]

Hello~! Do you have anything more on the sweet side?

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo immediately smiles at the young lady.]

Of course. Do you have any preferences?

[Someone he definitely hasn't met before, but Izumo always did enjoy meeting new people.

Besides, she looks pleasant enough.]

[loveheart]

[Ah! Lucky! It looks like she caught him in between all the hustle and bustle. Venus' face lights up with a smile as she takes the nearest available bar stool.]

Nothing really comes to mind....just something sweet. Maybe fruity?

[She claps her hands together.]

Show me your magic drink making skills!

[toremainbehind]

[There's a light laugh as Izumo acquiesces.]

As m'lady wishes.

[And watch him make her drink.

There's a reason why he's the bartender, after all.

When he's done, Izumo slides her drink over.]

Here you go.

[loveheart]

[The wait isn't long at all. She pulls the drink closer before picking the glass up and taking a sip. There's the briefest moment of pause as she savors it for a moment before letting out a satisfied 'Ahh~!'. Venus' face lights up as she smiles to Izumo.]

It's good! It's good! Mr.Bartender, you really know your stuff. Have you been doing this a long time?

[toremainbehind]

Not too long.

[Not that he can remember, anyway.]

But I'm glad you like it, miss. You can just call me Izumo.

[loveheart]

More then like it! It's perfect! Just what I needed! You truly have a talent. Maybe this is a calling even?

[Venus beams, letting her finger tips run over to cold glass. As good as it is, she doesn't want to suck it down but savior it bit by bit.]

Nice to meet you, Izumo! I'm Venus!

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo laughs.]

If that's what you wish to call it.

[Even so, he grins, giving her a little bow. Is she a god? Guess he'll find out.]

A pleasure to meet you, Venus.

[loveheart]

[with hair like this how can she not be?]

What do you call it, Izumo?

[She watches him curiously, smile never fading even as she takes another sip.]

Do you have a different calling then perhaps?

[toremainbehind]

[The grin widens.]

That's quite a loaded question, isn't it?

[A light shrug.]

What brings a pretty lady like you around here?

[loveheart]

Is it? It really depends on how you answer!

[She winks at him, giggling softly. Do you really think a lady like she would shoot loaded questions? To his question, she holds up the glass and swirls it around gently. Clearly she;s here for this drink.]

I wanted to see more of this world and this was as good a place as any to start. There is so much to see and so many people. Something just felt right about stopping here!

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo simply chuckles.

When she lifts up her glass, there's a hint of amusement masking his face.]

Well, I'm glad you've stopped by. It's not often that I get such beauties wandering into my bar.

[A playful wink.]

But be sure to tell me if you want a refill once you're finished with that drink.

[loveheart]

I will, I will! Don't worry about that.

[Aww, he's sweet! This really was the perfect place to come! She takes another sip before setting the glass down again. She savors the flavor before lifting her gaze to him.]

I'm happy I happened upon this place. The drink and your company really make it a good night. I've been thinking a lot so this really takes a load off!

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo smiles.]

I say that I'm proud I was able to make your night turn for the better.

[A little playful bow.]

If I can't even manage that, that I can't succeed as a bartender.
