(Setting) The Tango Down Divebar
| >AM and B approach the bar, but before entering, AM takes a deep sigh.
"Are you old enough to drink?"
| > She looks to him and giggles lightly.
"Of course. Only by a few years.. But of course."
> She jokes witth him some, having kept interest jn their surroundings the whole way here.
| "Good. Because I will definitely need a partner to drink with."
>AM begrudgingly opens the door and enters, holding the door open for B.
| > She nods her thanks with a smile, looking about as she enters.
"This... This looks nice. Haven't been in a bar for awhile, now."
| >AM waves at the tender, and sits down at a table, motioning B to sit too.
"You don't go out much do you?"
| > Sitting across from him, she shakes her head.
"Not at all, no.. Usually Kazuki's out, and I'm the one that stays put. He offers me out many of times.. But most of it I just decline because I've already made myself busy."
| "So what changed?"
>AM begins to fiddle with the coin Uni gave him.
| > She sits a bit silent for a second, thinking how to word her answer.
"I suppose I've just gotten tired lf being inside.. I mean, it's the best thing right now, with the virus, and such.. But I, I've lately started to feel trapped. And I'm assuming Kazuki told you, already."
| "He told me the general story. So what do you usually do at the apartment?"
| > She holds in a laugh.
"Most of the time, nothing. When Kazuki's gone I watch TV or mess with some of hia gadgets. Otherwise, I'll clean before he's home or do something even more boring."
| "Ah... that mundane... Do you want a drink? All this talk might make me in to a desert."
>AM feels bad for B, seriously. Who sits and does nothing all day?
| "Yes, a drink would be nice.. If they've got it.. Moon River gin."
| "Alright, I'll go ask."
>AM goes up to the tender
"Do you guys have Moon river gin?"
| (I don't think The GM is here. I got to take a quick break, I've been staring at the screen too long.)
| "I guess you do. I'll take a sugar rush for me."
| >REM sips the last of her Fringe Velvet and hums satisfied.
"That wasn't bad at all~."
>She'd state before casually glancing at the rest of the patrons.
"You know...I think we're really about to hit the bad times in this town. We've had riot after riot and the powers that be either don't care or don't comprehend what's actually wrong with this place..."
| "That's why people like us need to keep doing what's right"
>Asher drinks a bit of his Crevice Spike
"I'll be straight with you. Even if your friend isn't interested in working together, I still plan to open a place. People need someone to help them, and the more of us around doing it, the more that can be helped. Let's show the world that glitch city isn't just corps and corruption. We're also strong, and able to rise to any task."
>He takes a big drink and smiles
| (lmao "fringe velvet")
| >AM overhears the little speach Asher gave.
"What kind of tasks?"
>AM speaks as he waits for the second drink.
| >Asher addresses the speaker
"Like, stopping a bombing attempt, for example. Though in that case I was simply an emergency backup driver"
>He scratches his head
| "Ah. I guess you have no need for overt people. Pardon the interuption."
>AM returns to fiddling with Uni's coin.
| >>112076 (q w q )
"Eh. Sure! I don't mind giving a helping hand. That's why I hang around the other detective~."
>REM said thoughtfully. She then smiled.
"I'll give it a shot. Like with him I'll help you out with anything I can. Just uh...Let's make sure you don't pull your gun out on strangers unless it's absolutely necessary. Heh! When I first met the other detective he pulled his gun on me and tried to question me at gunpoint. It was great."
| > REM groans at her cellphone again.
"Great. First I miss the Thoth post's decoding and now 'Hunters'. God fuckin' damn this city..."
| >Asher laughs
"Sounds like he needs a little more trigger discipline! No worries, my gun is only for emergencies. Didn't even shoot anyone during the riots! Although I did through a smoke bomb or two"
| (throw*)
| >AM goes to sit back down With the Gin, handing it to B.
"So anything you want to order in terms of food?"
| >>112829
"Oho~. How civil~"
>REM replied with a laugh. She then waved the bartender over.
"Hmmmn. One more! I want something...sour and classy...but bitter. Surprise me with whatever you want on that note~."
| >>112961
"Not right now, thank yoh.. I might just skip eating, if it's okay with you.."
> She takes a sip, scanning the area.
"Have you been here before?"
| "Yeah I have, is there something wrong?"
> AM sits back, relaxed.
| > She looks up to hom, suddenly with a soft giggle.
"Hm? Not that I know of.. Is my lack of hunger worrying?"
| (him*)
| "Well if your not hungry, I guess I will have a burg."
>Am finished his Sugar rush.
| > She nods, looking down at the table. She retains her smile and happiness, although a bit softer.
"So, why is it you've taken me out here? Did Kazuki ask you too?"
| "Yeah, he did. He asked me to take you out for supper."
| > She raises an eyebrow.
"Really? Not exactly the strangest of things from him.. I suppose it's a normal-like request.."
> She seems to be half way talking to him, half wag talking to herself.
| (Half way*)
| "It's funny. Instead of letting me pay for the C4, he asked me to take you to dinner, so yeah... Not that normal."
>AM corrects B, and waves for the bartender's attention, hoping to order some food.
| > She processes what he kist said before shaking her head with a quiet laugh.
"No, no.. That's pretty normal of him."
| (Just* my typing is on point)
| >AM, suprised at her response, tries to sturcture a sentince.
"Wha-? Uh... why?"
| > She doesn't look up, finishing her gin.
"He's always had some kind've strange perspective on things. He'd never directly get money from someone, mostly because that's all he ever runs into... I suppose he does it because he doesn't like normal? He says he tries to benefit as much as possible with his choices."
| >AM regains composure, satisfied with the explanation.
"So being taken out for dinner is a common thing for you?"
| > She shakes her head.
"No, no.. I mean his requests. For example.. I remember about a year or so ago, him selling one of his original MotoGP bikes, he didn't exactly sell it.. He traded for the tires it rode on. More or less he gave it away."
| "Jesus. How did you meet him?"
>AM's curiosity about KN only grows.
| > She looks up to him, enjoying his interest.
"Eh? Well.. He's the one that put me together."
| "So in a way, he's your dad. And I'm basically am a 44 year old babysitter. Great."
>AM says jovially
| "W-What?"
> She laughs a bit more.
"That's.. Quite a way to say it.. Couldn't imagine him with that kind've role, even if I wanted to."
| "huh. Anyway, we should probably head home."
| "So fast? I thought you were ordering.."
> She prepares herself to stand.
| "Something feels off. But don't worry about it. Let's go."
>AM stands up, gestureing B to follow.
| "Before you go, AM~."
>REM spoke up casually.
"You should buy a handheld! I suggest the Sone Nee Viva~. A guy that loves helmets told me to says so~!"
| > She nods, following AM closely whilst listening to REM.
| "Uh... Yeah. Sure thing. Stranger."
>AM walks out of the bar.
| >AM turns to B
"I told you something was off. Can I borrow your phone?"
| > Following closely, she takes it out and hands it to him.
"Uhm.. Y-Yeah, alright."
| >AM opens the phone app, and dials a number, you can only hear one end of the conversation.
"Bain? It's me Ian, from the Washington days?"
"I have an offer, GC."
"Right."
"Speak to you soon."
>AM ends the call, deletes the number, and hands the phone back to B.
"Thanks."
| > She takes it back without question putting it away.
"No problem."
| "How about some ice cream to lighten the mood?"
>AM suggests, as they walk back to the apartment.
| "Sure, that sounds good to me."
> With it, she keeps him company the walk back.
| (KN, Make a setting if you deem necessary. I can tell you are quite busy with the ranch)
| (I will. Give me a second as I'm going to be low on battery soon.)
