The Naughty Hare [RP ad thread for several different guilds]

[db3789]

Kipp was fairly worried about Tania now. The girl was still writhing in fear over what happened. Kipp began to think about what he could possibly do to help her. Since Kipp didn't really have a great track record for handling stressful situations, he began to babble worriedly to her.

"Eh... ummm... T-T-T-Tania wos it? C-c-can yew... wake up now, please? I-I-I'm koinda goin J-J-Jimminy 'ere."

[neon-neon]

Tania opened an eye slightly to gaze up Kipp's handsome face. To her, at least. His eyes sparkled like water, and his voice was like music... "And what if I don't want to move?" she asked him. "What if I'm perfectly content to stay here in my destined lover's lap forever and ever?"

[db3789]

Kipp was shocked when Tania came out of her stupor so suddenly, and normally would have been mad had any other woman pulled a prank like that on him. Then he would have given them props for actually succeeding in pulling the prank, but that's besides the point. The point now was that Kipp was staring down at Tania's face, and she was staing back up at him with those big, brown eyes of hers. Again. ....Kipp was lost for words to say the least.

"Ehm... uhhh.... buhh.... ummmm.... ahhhh...."

And then, almost as if by instinct, Kipp's inner man seemed to come out of hiding and took over his mouth for the next few seconds.

"Oi'd 'ave to ask iffin she'd loik tah 'ave a Lily wiff me!" Kipp then motioned his eyes over to the bar, more out of instinct again, but subconciously to give Tania a hint at what the heck 'Lily' meant to this comically insanse cockeny sod.

[neon-neon]

Tania opened both her eyes and glanced back at the bar. "I'd like that very much," she cooed.

[db3789]

Kipp smiled at this, showing off his two bucked teeth visibly. He slowly got up and helped Tania to her feet, moving her over to the bar and offering her a stool.

Once she was seated, Kipp moved back behind the bar and got to work doing what his job asked of him: being flashy and entertaining. Which is why Kipp started to make several quick motions and was soon juggling a few shot glasses and one bottle of amber liquid in the air. After a few passes, Kipp caught one of the glasses, then stacked the other glasses in the first one as they fell. Then Kipp actually managed to catch the liquor bottle on the tip of his nose as he quickly laid out the shot glasses in a row on the bar. And finally, in one swift movement, Kipp bobbed his head causing the bottle to go skyward, which Kipp caught on the way down and made a long pouring line into all of the cups, filling each one the exact ammount for a single shot. Kipp threw the bottle into the air once more, making it flip and few times, and then caught it, setting it on the bar with a soft 'thud'.

Kipp looked over at Tania with a cheeky grin on his face as he asked, "Roight, wots tha pearl's poison then?"

[neon-neon]

Tania sighed dreamily as Kipp helped her up and into a seat. He was so... skilled with bartending. Oh, wouldn't like she like to be those bottles, so she could handled by his hands..

"My poison..." she thought for a moment. "Why, that would be you of course," is what she wanted to say. What came out was "Whatever YOU like."

[db3789]

Kipp actually snorted at that slightly. There was no way in Hades that this girl would be able to handle the stuff he drank on a daily basis. Kipp took one of his glasses of the counter and knocked the thing back like it was water. Kipp's face contracted slightly, his lips screwing shut in pain as the fiery liquid ran down his pipes. Once the pain was over, Kipp looked back at Tania with a mischievous grin. He dipped his forefinger into one of the glasses and held it out in front of him, his other hand underneath to catch any drips. Kipp made sure to try and not spill the couple drops on his finger as he spoke. "Le's see iffin yew can 'andle 'is firs, k?"

[neon-neon]

Kipp downed his drink so easily, that Tania honestly thought it was just colored water and that his expression was fake. Hmph! Asking her if she could hold water, of all things! But if it would impress him, she would do it! And she'd go all out!

Seeing another full glass on the counter, she quickly snatched it up and did her best to down it one gulp, just like Kipp had. The best she could manage was three. And it burned.

Tania gasped and fanned her mouth, the notion that the drink wasn't water had yet to hit her.

[db3789]

Kipp's jaw almost hit the counter when he saw what Tania did. That was prime Irish Whiskey, circa 1872! How in name of Creation was this girl able to knock back an entire shot of the stuff on her first try!? Sure it took her a few sips, but she still did it! Kipp was beyond impressed, and it showed in his voice. "Bloimey! Oi didn' tink yew could 'andle Irish Whiskey loike 'at! That mess's been down in thah cellah for years!"

[neon-neon]

Tania clenched her teeth and gripped the edge of the counter. Her eyes were watering and her ears twitched. "That..." she gasped. "Was NOT water!"

[db3789]

Kipp's ears skewed slightly when he realized that Tania thought she was drinking something much tamer than Irish Whiskey. He reached behind the counter and pulled a lemon our of the fridge. He handed it to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Boite on 'is and 'ang on till its ovah."

[neon-neon]

"Too... late..." Tania gasped, and she slumped forward, fast asleep. After about five minutes, she pushed herself back up again, the lemon untouched.

"Okay... okay... I'm good now. No more spinning."

[db3789]

Kipp patted Tania's shoulder lightly as she pulled herself together, chuckling slightly as he did. "Next toime, dun try moi koinda poison 'less yew know yew can 'andle it, k?"

[neon-neon]

Tania huffed and sighed. She knew Kipp was right - she assumed he was pulling her leg, and than her lucky stars she was still on one piece after that drink. "That stuff should be labeled..."

[db3789]

Kipp chuckled once more. "An' yung pearls loike yaself shouldn' go 'roun knocking back queer lilly's anyway."
