sammy's sideways slam

[ladyofthesands.livejournal.com]

Down in some seedier district deep mainland was an eyesore of neon flashing lights and reedy, trilling alien music that was, once you got used to it, pretty damn good.  It was called Sammy's Sideways Slam and, according to ever local with a half functioning liver (or alien organ equivalent), it served the best, most potent, insanely awesome drinks on the entire planet.  It was also a place were drunk fights went unnoticed, the barkeep knocked heads together on a routine basis, and his wife (Seela'leen and See for short) sang bawdy drinking songs in a voice that simply couldn't fit in her tiny three foot eight body.  Perched up on a counter, the green skinned, emerald eyed woman leaned back, her shock of white and cinnamon striped hair curing over her shoulders, and let another song rip as the band slammed into the appropriate song.

Hooting, the rowdy audience cracked glasses together and sang along.

Sammy's was swinging.



[[OOC: One seedy bar, open location down in the mainland.  Tag the main, tag your friend.  Get wasted, play Sabbac, poker, by smokes off the Gino the bartender, hit on Seela'leen, whatever.  I'll even NPC for you if you want.  I'm late with this post.  So late.  But whatever.  Rogues?  Arha's looking for you.  If you be Rogue, tag into the convo like it is a party, darlings.  She wants her pile of pilots.  if you want a separate tag, go'in do it. ]]

A big blue furred alien leaned in and tapped Arha Masaari on the shoulder. She tilted her face slightly and smiled as he leaned in. Her eyebrows arched slightly and she burst into laughter. The alien leaned into her, draping a furred arm across her bare shoulders.

"I do not think that is a doable thing," she sang back, looking entirely too amused as she sipped at something potently amber colored. It was just sweet enough and called a Starburst Surprise. It had not surprised her yet, but it was pleasant.

"Wassamatta, wif dat?" The blue alien mumbled. "Betcher can--" there was a lound rumble that turned into a squeak, "--a--snook!-eciate a--snarf--hic! man like me. Can't get--sneerrrrk--better than Bojut Brank."

Arha took a long sip of her Starburst Surprise and to took a considerable amount of control not to simply burst into laughter. Bojut Brank needed a break on his happy juice. She craned her neck, peering through the crowd in search of familiar faces just in time for Bojut to belch in the other direction.

Just another beautiful evening at Sammy's Sideways Slam.

There was a tiny woman walking into the bar.

Small, petite and barely five feet tall, she was dressed in a sundress that demonstrated, by goddamn she was FLAT.

Despite this, she walked into the bar and slapped down a few coins. "Florp."

The giant of a bartender looked up at her and said, "Aren't you a little young to be drinking?"

"Technically I'm two thousand and ten years old," said Rein, embellishing her facts. "Florp."

"Here you go."

Rein took a pull. And to her credit, didn't spray it across the table as it raped her tastebuds.

"Good Florp. Can I get another after this?"

looking for Rogues, you say~?

This same time last week, it never would have occurred to Axl that it was possible for him to get drunk, but Zokez II apparently had other ideas. He couldn't remember what the full explanation was -- something about nanomachines designed to temporarily jumble nerve signals with no corrosive or long term side effects or...something like that? It didn't matter.

What mattered was that all it took was a few words to the bartender about his biology (or lack thereof) and he was getting in on things that his species had never thought possible.

Not a bad way to spend a vacation, in his opinion. And while the first time he'd given it a try this week, he'd stopped before anything hit him too hard (talking to Char had been kind of a distraction), there was no telling if he'd ever get the chance to do this again, and he had every intention of making the most of it.

He made a wave at the barkeep. "Hey, can I get another uh...another this thing?"

[governorkang]

"Looks like you've got an admirer," Kang laughed, nodding at Arha in greeting from his seat at the bar. He'd discovered the place earlier that evening, and he'd been having a blast sharing old war stories with a short, dog-like alien and a rather tall (taller than him, and he was seven feet) humanoid covered in bright green feathers.

[ladyofthesands.livejournal.com]

"Looks that way," Arha said with a bright laugh. "I have found a great many interested parties this evening, it seems." She leaned and murmured something in a soft, suggestive voice to Bojut and he wobbled toward the back of the bar toward the bathroom. Arha gestured.

"You are welcome to sit."

My pilots! <3

"The liquor is very good," Arha said as Bojut tried to to grab her her chest. Her hand flashed out and Bojut looked very surprised as his hand ended up stuffed into his drink. Too drunk to really give a shit he mumbled and teetered away.

"What about you? Yopu need another one of those gems?" Gino shoved a tall glass of the drink Axl had demolished in front of him. "Something stronger? He flashed a grin of sharp black teeth and Arha returned it.

"I wish to try your Molotov Planet," she said with a solemn nod. "What is it they say? Hit me?"

[gunslinging.livejournal.com]

Axl hadn't actually found a seat yet, with the place as crowded as it was, but as Bojut stumbled off, he helped himself to the spot the alien had just vacated. He probably wouldn't want to be standing up when all this started really catching up to him, anyway.

And he let out an impressed whistle as he watched the bartender got to work on that Molotov Planet. "How many kinds of booze go into that thing?"

[jesushasagundam]

He thought he'd seen some of the other Rogues inside from out of the windows.

But as Kira stood in the doorway, he began to have second thoughts. Something told him that this really wasn't his sort of place.

[ladyofthesands.livejournal.com]

"Fifteen and seven juices," Arha said, watching Gino go to down in a beautiful display of showmanship as he twirled bottles and hummed along to his wife's (apparently exceedingly) bawdy songs. "It should be fascinating to drink."

[gunslinging.livejournal.com]

You could almost see Axl's eyes light up. (Possibly even literally.) "That sounds epic. I wonder if they've got all the stuff to do the non-organic version..."

He glanced at the drink he'd just ordered. Well, not like he was going to waste that, either! One more argument for finishing it off faster.

Somehow escaping her husband (nicely, of course), Mara Jade Skywalker definitely ended up in this bar. She could feel Arha's presence somewhere in here, so she slowly made her way to where she figured Arha was.

Of course, if a drink or two entered her ownership while making her way over there, that was not her fault at all.

[ladyofthesands.livejournal.com]

Arha's head shot up and toward the door as she caught Mara's familiar presence. Bojut mumbled something and belched again as Arha slid away (with her drink) just in time to avoid getting hit as a bar patron punched the inebriated alien. He went flying and, with some degree of skill, managed to grope Arha's ass on the way down.

Charming.

I'm back here with the flailing blue drunk by the bar, she said with a mental snort. Gino hollered something from behind the bar. It does not matter what the species, they will always try to grope something.

[ladyofthesands.livejournal.com]

Arha waved at Kira from her place near the bar, her grin wide and inviting. It was not a terrible bar. If she could be in there, why, Kira wouldn't have a problem. Hopefully. Her bright, sunny expression cut through the crowd--and the blue mass that had just stumbled by for the third time.

[ladyofthesands.livejournal.com]

"I am certain it can be made," Arha said with a grin. "Gino is very talented, after all." The bartender, then, lit her drink on fire.

She watched, fascinated, as the drink swirled through several hues and hissed as the flame turned blue and went out. He placed it front of her, clearly pleased with his handiwork.

"That was lovely!" Arha said, beaming.

[gunslinging.livejournal.com]

"Guess I'd better chug this one, then." Axl threw his head back, took a long pull -- and stopped for a moment, looking as though he might've bit off more than he could chew.

"Whoa. Not that this isn't a kick in the pants, too."

[ladyofthesands.livejournal.com]

"Some drinks one should nurse,"Arha said wryly. "The other drink can still be made, mm? Focus on your first. Such is a good idea, no?"

[gunslinging.livejournal.com]

"I may never have the chance to do this again," Axl said, his voice carrying a bit more Impatient Kid tone than usual. "I have to make up for lost time!"

[ladyofthesands.livejournal.com]

"And you may do yourself damage if you just slam everything back. It is meant to be enjoyed, not guzzled." Arha's tone was weighted with a certain amount of authority in exact proportion to his impatient kid. "Enjoy it. There is no hurry."

[jesushasagundam]

He held up a hand as he saw her wave.

It wasn't anything about this bar in particular, but he just really wasn't a ... bar person. Still, there were friends, so he might as well go talk to them...

[gunslinging.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, that tone sounded familiar. It was kind of like the tone Alia always put on when she was telling him no, you're not opening fire until I'm finished scanning the defense perimeter or no, you cannot play Killzone 7 on the giant vidscreen in the control room.

And Arha probably had more than just a very good death glare to back it up, too!

He nodded sheepishly and took a much more reasonable sip.

[ladyofthesands.livejournal.com]

Arha moved to meet him halfway and watched with particular interest as a woman who seemed to have wings (ah she did!) drift by. Arha's smile litl her face once more as she reached Kira.

"What would you like to drink?" she asked, pitching her voice so it reached him without too much interruption. "There is much available."

[ladyofthesands.livejournal.com]

Better.

Her expression softened again and she was very much all smiles as she took a proper sip of her formerly flaming drink. It was potent. Very potent. It was also a surprising variety of flavors.

"I think," she said, "the best thing about drinking is enjoying the flavors and textures of the drink."

[gunslinging.livejournal.com]

"It feels like I knocked out a neural relay sensor. Only not all the way, it's just...fuzzy. Usually they either work or they don't." He didn't sound so impatient anymore, but his age was definitely still making itself apparent. "It's awesome."

oh look more rogues

Kyle had been mixed up in the crowd, and only just now managed to push his way to the bar. Ordering up something that looked tasty he was about to settle in at the bar when he noticed Arha, and one of the new kids from the squadron. Smiling he took his drink, and made his way over. "Staying out of trouble you two?"

Re: oh look more rogues

[ladyofthesands.livejournal.com]

"We have been admiring the beverages," Arha said, her face lighting up as she caught Kyle's face. "You should try this thing I have just gotten. It is something called a Molotov Planet."

The drink smelled very, very good, with an ever-shifting aroma that was mostly citrus and very beach like. According to the menu, it was unique to the person imbibing it. When Arha sipped it, she could almost taste Spice and the cool night wind, or the moisture being gathered by dew catchers. She let herself enjoy it, too, which was a rare thing.
