Who Needs Roses When We Have Happy Hour

[needsteaplz]

Who: Saori Nakagawa and anyone else [open]
Where: Aqures Ixen - The Space Saloon
When: February 14, 2017
Summary: Thankfully there is no Date Auction this year, but it wouldn't be right to dismiss Valentine's Day outright. So why not an All Day Happy Hour? If anyone would like to use the Space Saloon as the backdrop for their date, feel free to use this log.
Warnings: None for now.

It's no surprise Valentine's Day can be rather polarizing for a holiday. However, both Saori and her moogle for once agreed they couldn't outright ignore it. After all, if Barkeep was still around, he would've gone all out. Rather than have the entire place over saturated with hearts and other decorations, she decided to keep it minimal and focused more on the menu.

For the past week, Brigid managed to tack on fliers for the Saloon all over Aqures Ixen. "All Day Valentine's Day Special!" was boldly written. It also mentioned a special menu along with reduced prices across the menu including the drinks.

As patrons entered, there were several red and pink streamers hanging from the ceiling. Saori, dressed in a traditional bartender's clothes, could be seen manning the bar. Despite the constant flow of orders, she handles them all with ease only to take a break to make sure the kitchen staff was alright. Customers might see Brigid writing in a book of some sort with much fervor either up on the highest shelf of the back bar or on the rafters. Let's just hope that bottle of ink she has doesn't fall anytime soon.

A little late but why not

Mary had been spending much of her time at this gathering at the bar. With Saori there she couldn't be blamed for that of course, but she'd also seemed a bit distracted. There were a pair of letters she'd walked in with and had been giving a great deal of attention.

After some time, and a drink to set her thoughts in order, she wound up making her way over to Jade. She offered Rukia a polite nod of greetings before turning to the senior mage, "Jade. I wondered if I might have a word. I was hoping you had something I could borrow. A Crystal of Illusion."

ahaha... late........

"Kidd." Jade raised an eyebrow, inquisitive. "I do have one, but may I ask what you need it for?"

Not that he really needed it, either. Illusionist was a Job he hardly ever equipped these days. Indeed, now that he had Crystal Researcher, having another one just for teleporting was rather redundant.

Late frands

A sly smirk spread on Mary's lips and she held up a recently delivered letter, giving it a little flourish. "Seems I've been invited to a rather personal meeting this evening, despite having plans of my own." Her relationship with Saori was no real secret, so that someone thought it was a prime time to ask her for her company was rather oblivious in of itself.

"Of course, I can't be in two places at once...but then it occurred to me that perhaps I could."

[jadethenecromancer]

Oh dear. While Kidd and Saori's occupations might not be well-known, Jade had seen them in battle enough times to be aware of their favored Jobs. Someone out there was feeling very confident.

"You don't say. Dare I ask who was brazen enough to issue such a bold challenge?" He was already digging out his Crystal of Illusions regardless of the answer. Trusting her with it wasn't much of an issue. They'd been comrades long enough.

Mary was certainly emboldened by Jade's reaction, glad to see that he was on board without even needing the details of this. Of course, if it weren't for the sake of a prank she had a feeling she'd have to give him more of a reason. Good to know his heart was in the right place.

She offered him the papers now, letting him have a look, "Our friend, the good Captain. It seems Harkness wants a word with myself or myself. Normally I'd oblige him without any fuss but he's chosen the timing of this meeting exceptionally poorly."

Jade took the proffered letters and scanned them briefly. An amused grin tugged at his lips.

"Good heavens. And extending the invitation to two dates at the same time, too!" He handed the letters back along with the crystal, making a big show of appearing concerned. "Please, do be careful. It would be terrible if you were to get caught up with such an insidious man."

Jack was never going to live this down.
