[ 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.

so

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.

[articletwelve]

yeah, see. i know one of the employees. let her stay with me on this other station we were on, even.

[neverknocks]

oh, i see how it is. now that we're in a place with an actual economy and you don't have d to rely on, you show your true colors. i didn't realize you were such a mooch.

get a job, you lazy cockbite.

[articletwelve]

i-- hey! i have a job!

[ a menial one. with low pay. ]

and i'm not the one with all the money, either. what's with all the stuff?

[ meaning: the sudden influx of Things in the apartment that he sure as hell didn't buy. ]

[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?

[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 :'| ]

Openly advertising for a bar that might compete with Afterlife?

Somebody's got balls.

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

[neverknocks]

i got a new job and i pinched my pennies, wash. i know, it's a foreign concept to you. what, don't you like your birthday present?

[ maybe if York is flippant and sarcastic enough, he won't ask too many questions. Sssshhhhh Wash don't question it. Just enjoy it. ]

[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.

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 ]

[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?

[neverknocks]

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

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?

Perma-Video

[anarrowtotheeye]

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

[articletwelve]

[ see that would work if she wasn't a shitty liar. ]

yeah, except you just got this job. come on, york, i know you.

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?

[neverknocks]

Hey, man, I'm just a bartender. I do what I can.

[ She cocks an eyebrow at him, some mixture of amused and intrigued. ]

Don't tell me you actually drink that stuff.

[neverknocks]

I guess you're not feelin' all that picky.

All right, well -- I've gotta check out the place, see how I need the system set up. Don't worry, though, it won't be anything you can't afford.

[neverknocks]

are you actually complaining? cmon, give me a break, man.

[ real answers, what are those ]

[fightforthelost]

Not exclusively, but it's something of a favorite.

[neverknocks]

[ York stares at him for a moment, but then she lets out a short laugh. ]

Well, I sure as shit wouldn't wanna get in a drinking contest with you, buddy. Yeah, you want ryncol, you got it. Just don't expect me to peel you off the floor at the end of the night.
