What the Bartender Hears is Confidential, Isn't It?

[sweartoit]

[This is Dominic. Dominic used to work at a five star restaurant called the Pixel Palace.
There, some of video game’s most popular celebrities pop in to have a drink.
Well he doesn't work there anymore, now he works at the House of Mouse, tending drink to all the guests.
Sometimes, they share stories and even secrets.
Because, as we all know, what the bartender hears is confidential, isn’t it?

...

So here I am tending the bar to the House of Mouse. Yes I work for the mouse of Disney now, isn't that a kicker? Well, I happen to work with many of strange folks, some being those weird half animal, half human types, I guess you can call them anthros. The... Boss kinda discourages from using the term "furries", says it may be too "risky", might offend others but whatever. I've already had Fox McCloud tell me all about "humanies", lord knows I'm done with that whole thing.

Stands up straight a bit as he cleans one of the glasses. Looks to the side of the bar, gives a sort of sigh to himself.

My only hope really is that I won't be dealing as much... interesting sort of characters like I did in Pixel Palace. But, with a bit of luck and a more family friendly enviornment perhaps it won't be so bad.]

[Kind of just waltzed right in... What, he's over 21, even if he certainly did not look it.]

[Although it wasn't quite as exciting in here as he hoped.]

[sweartoit]

[Dominic looks over and notices the kid. Gives a little sigh.

One of the young ones? Well perhaps he just looks young. You'd be bloody sure that happened one too many times to me what with the colorful characters I've met. Although... I do think he maybe from that one game, Disgea? The one with all the little penguins in it. Lots of demons too as I recall. Although they look nothing like demons, just big eyes and adorable outfits.

Comes over to his side. Clears his throat.]

Welcome, any chance I can help you?

[trademark_skull]

[Yup, they're all just the kawaiiest mothafu--HEY! D|]

[Looks one way.... looks to the other...]

.... Do you have anything that's not alcoholic?

[Might as well have something while he's here.]

[sweartoit]

[Hm, so I've thought.

Dominic gave a nod and took out one of the small menus. And pointed to the list of where all the drinks are for the kid.]

Yes, here's a list right here for you. We've got a couple of smoothies, milkshakes. I could also whip you up something like a Shirley Temple if you care for a mix of ginger ale and cherry.

[trademark_skull]

[Thinks for a second.]

Nah, milkshake is fine.

[Curse his love of overly sweet things]

[sweartoit]

Alright then.

[Walk over to prepare the milkshake, taking out the cream from the fridge.]

Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry Or Oreo?

[trademark_skull]

.....

[No Emi. You can still have some dignity back if you turn away and back out now.]

... Strawberry.

[Goddammit.]

[sweartoit]

[Gives a little smile at him.

Well I can't see why anyone would be embarrassed by ordering a strawberry milkshake. At least not from me, I usually do make the best of the best of I do say so myself. However I'm sure the young one may have been hoping to not look so child-like in an adult-like environment.

It can't be bad as all that now. After all, the color of a pink drink doesn't mean you are just as sugary. Just that you have a taste for sweets... and the occasional cute things, BUT it's alright. No need for judging can be found here.

Dominic came over with the handmade strawberry milkshake, whip cream with a strawberry fruit and cookie on the rim.]

There you are my good sir. Strawberry milkshake, would you like some other dessert with that? Perhaps a round of cookies?

[trademark_skull]

N-no, absolutely not!

[.... That is without knowing what the other options were. But no self, stop it! You were not even supposed to be here!]

[sweartoit]

[Blinks, then gives a shrug.]

Nothing else then? No cake?

[trademark_skull]

[..... Caaaaaake]

... What kind of cake?

[sweartoit]

Well we got Just Ducky, that's the lemon. Darkness, raspberry and chocolate I believe. Strawberry Cheshire Cheesecake, um... Let's see.

[Checks the menu, then looks back up.]

Oh I believe we also have the special Christmas Fruitcake, but... Trust me, I don't believe it's wise to go with that option.

[trademark_skull]

[The cheesecake would be tempting if he wasn't having strawberry already. So that's good.]

Eh, I think I'll pass.

[And speaking of strawberry, going at the shake right now.]

[sweartoit]

Alright then.

[Goes back to idly cleaning his glass, and checking the bar.

Well the kid was right down cute to the bow on his jacket. Although it seems that the cake although tempting him did not pass. Milkshake was a different issue all together. At least he wasn't frightened by the notion of cake, last thing I want is another Chell freaking out at the bar.]

[trademark_skull]

[Really enjoying that milkshake. And when he finally took the cookie off the side and nibbled it, oh maaaan]

.... This ain't bad.
