Characters: Saori Nakagawa, Brigid, & You
Where: Aqures Ixen; The Space Saloon
When: Throughout September
Summary: With Barkeep now in Stasis, the Space Saloon is need of help.
Warning: None for now

A. No Trouble in This Place
When news of the Barkeep went into crystal stasis spread, Saori's heart sank. Then came the matter of the Space Saloon. Since she was no longer in part of the police force, that left her schedule wide open. Besides getting some extra gil definitely helps. The day started after a quick morning work out, a trip to the marketplace to order more for the saloon, and getting breakfast on the table back home.

From there she went to the Saloon for kitchen prep while slipping in some job training in between. When the sun went down and everyone was stopping for a drink or a meal, Saori could found behind the counter, taking orders and prepping drinks. Despite how much she was on the go, she could be easily stopped especially now that she sported a new shorter haircut.

B. Writer's Block

One lone moggle sat at the counter at the Space Saloon with a notebook as big as her . She started scribbling something down but paused. With a frustrated pout, she ripped out the page.

"No, kupo! This doesn't feel right!" Brigid crumpled the page furiously and threw it behind her. There was supposed to be wastebasket nearby but there was a mountain of rejected writing where it was. Instead of flying towards the pile of rejects, it hit someone passing by. "Nothing's working, kupo!"

A - Late September

[neverfirstclass]

On the heels of the adventure to the chocobo forest, Cloud found himself with actually little to do. He had his normal daily work, but with no new threats looming he almost felt...underwhelmed in the passing of all else that had happened. One particular evening, having finished up at the Ranch and not quite in the mood to spend another day training, his stomach stated its outrage at being empty as he was passing the Space Saloon.

Even if he wasn't quite the Aqures Ixen drinking age, or at least the age that Mordecai upheld, they still did serve some good food, and he was a little surprised to see the place still open after they found its owner in Crystal Stasis upon their return to Crystallis. He frowned, briefly thinking of the others they found in that state as well. No wonder Yuffie wasn't there with them.

His stomach rumbled again and he followed its demands, entering the saloon in search of a meal. "Evening."

Saori was working at the counter when Cloud arrived. With a smile, she approached him. She does go to the ranch from time to time to check on her Chocobo, but she never really had much time to talk to Cloud.

"Good evening and welcome. Please, have a seat anywhere you like. Can I get you something to drink?"

Cloud couldn't help but be put on the spot by the question. He struggled for a brief second, wondering how much he should tempt fate. Instead he decided to come at it sideways.

"Water I guess. Looking for something to eat really. But...what's the drinking age in here?"
