[ yo what's up, Omega. York is in a shiny brand-new suit of armor, bought right in Omega, rather than her usual clunky old Freelancer armor. It's a hell of a lot sleeker than what she used to wear, that's for sure, and she looks pretty damned pleased about it.

But not just about the armor. York's grinning for an entirely new reason today. ]

Everybody settling in all right? Good, 'cause I've got some good news for the thirsty crowd. I just got myself a new job at a bar here in Zeta District, servin' drinks. And this weekend we've got an extended happy hour special goin' on, so if you're looking for a drink, then I highly suggest hauling your ass over to The Quad. I might even slip you a free drink for the trouble.

[ She actually winks, grinning and showing teeth. She tosses her hair out of her face with a quick shake of her head. ]

'Course, if you're more interested in the home security market, I'm still available for installs and upgrades. But I figured it was time to move on up in the job market. Besides, I mix one hell of a Dirty Shirley.

mine are on the house, right?

:)

[ look he's even smiling. york can you say no to that face. ]

[neverknocks]

only if you're leaving a generous tip

nice try smiley jack but what are you trying to do, get me fired? pffffff. get in line.

[articletwelve]

aw, come on. what about the employee discount?

[neverknocks]

that's for employees, asshole.

[have a semi-familiar face.] Infiltrator armor, huh? Nice choice. I haven't worn a suit like that in years.

[for all she's teasing, she's offering a small smile.] How are you with rum?

[neverknocks]

Hey, if the shoe fits, right? I mean, I won't lie, it's nice to have equipment especially suited for the job.

[ She grins right back at Benji, resting her chin on her hand. ]

That depends. How d'you feel about mojitos?

perma-video;

[techburst]

It looks good on you, I have to say.

[that grin turns into something more of a smirk, and she gives a small, noncommittal shrug.] Would you believe I've never had one?

[electricslash]

[ Have a big wide grin, York. Zoe's fond of that armor, even if she too hasn't worn it in ages. ]

Hey, I didn't know there were any other infiltrators around! And you're a bartender? I haven't found anywhere good since I got here.

[ mostly because they're run by batarians :'| ]

[neverknocks]

[ good god York could just cry at the fact that there's specialized armor for the kinds of things she does. Have you ever tried to decrypt a holographic lock in one of those clunky as hell Freelancer suits? Plus, she won't lie, it looks pretty damn good. She feels a little naked without her usual colors, but it's a hell of a lot more maneuverable.

She flashes a grin right back at Zoe, giving her a little nod. ]

Yeah, that's pretty much the name of my game. When I'm not mixing drinks, I mean. You should come sometime, y'know. The place isn't half bad.

[electricslash]

[ Hey, good armor is important. Zoe wouldn't trade hers for the world, though she doesn't wear it as often as Benji wants her to here. Official or not, she's still on leave. ]

Hm~mm, maybe I will! You know how to make a Seaside Sunrise, right?

Openly advertising for a bar that might compete with Afterlife?

Somebody's got balls.

Re: video;

[neverknocks]

Yeah, my boss does. Or so he'd like me to believe.

[ because come on the place is called The Quad.

York shrugs, though, not looking too fussed about it. ]

Didn't say we were another Afterlife. Sort of a quieter scene. Besides, I figured it'd boost morale to have a nice comfy neighborhood dive.

[ and York wants to make some money, sue her ]

Re: video;

[fightforthelost]

The only thing that's going to boost morale for most of these people is a shuttle off of Omega.

Got any ryncol?

[anarrowtotheeye]

I require a working lock for a property of mine. Name your price.

video;

[neverknocks]

Slow down there, cowboy. The price depends. What exactly are you lookin' for in a security system?

Perma-Video

[anarrowtotheeye]

I just require something that will keep people out. I do not need anything else.

[ Arthur has learned about Krogans. And their anatomy - stuff he was able to look up. So the look he initially has is a mixture of surprise and that tiny bit of teenage amusement he still holds onto.

Heh. Balls. ]

Now you've got two jobs? You're outpacing the rest of us pretty fast, York.

[ It's good natured though. He's working on moving up, anyway. ]

I think I might have a few credits to spare to get a drink.

[ Also, he's just been - quiet. He's seen York in passing but he hasn't really talked much to her. ]

[neverknocks]

[ Arthur's always a welcome sight, even if he's been a little quiet lately. She knows how it is, especially in a place like this. She's just glad to hear from him again. He's always been a good drinking buddy. She grins at him, clearly pleased. ]

Well, then I suggest you make your way over. Maybe I'll even put in a good word for you with the boss.

THIS CAN ACTUALLY BE AFTER HE TALKS TO MARCO...

[soldad]

[ Disappearing is still a valid worry - it's good to touch bases with each other once in a while. There's not that many people he recognizes here. ]

Well, you'll have to let me know what he says. I've got to tell you about this pizza I had.

[ But to his word, he does show up a while into happy hour. It's not as full as he's seen Afterlife, but it's definitely not empty, either.

He goes to look for York, spotting her and raising a hand in greeting. ]

[tradecraftdude]

[ Have a chinhandsing Marco. ]

So, what's the drinking age around here?

[neverknocks]

You must be at least...this tall.

[ York gives him a grin, shaking her head. ]

Sorry, kiddo. It's Shirley Temples for you.

[tradecraftdude]

Unfair, low blow!

[ He winces at himself for making that pun. ]

C'mon, York, how am I ever gonna learn to be a responsible drinker if I'm not instructed by a responsible professional?

[housebroke]

Home security? [ don't mind his vague amusement. ] And how highly rated would you consider your services?

voice;

[neverknocks]

At this price? Pretty high, man. This is kinda what I do.

[ Well, sort of. York's more in the business of breaking security. But hey, two sides of the same coin, really. And she wouldn't bother if she didn't think she could actually do it. ]

[housebroke]

Along with bartending.

[ that's an intriguing combination. ] Enjoy hearing people's life stories?
