[CALM Morn Bartender]

"Got two two liter bottles of seltzer to spare? I think that should be enough for the upstairs for now."

Ever poise, she crossed a heeled boot in front of her and placed a finger on her chin, waiting patiently.

[Yes I Am Premium Waitress]

A blonde woman is setting up a camera tripod and cross-lighting in a space near the foyer.

[Prosecutor Godot]

Godot allowed Klavier's words to hang between them, holding his silence for a while.

"Too old to see my Bürogehilfe do his musical thing? Ha...! Not quite, pretty-boy."

He looked casually away from the other man as Pearl stomped past and hooked his hands into his pockets.

Oh dear.

[CALM Eve Bartender]

Cosmo hissed his breath in between his teeth and furrowed his brow.

"That's a bit of a tall order, babe..."

He stepped back and looked down under the bar, examined it for a moment, then reached down to produce two bottles of the carbonated water.

"I can make allowances for you, doll."

A cheeky smile and the spoils were held out to Mocci.
Smooth~

[CALM Morn Bartender]

"I'm sure you can." *eye roll*

Yeah, smooth. If only she was going for it. But she'll take the bottles and be on her merry way.

[Wheres My Special Someone]

Some time later, Pearl reappears... wearing the exact same outfit, apparently. She is still sorting out random folds and adjusting her accessories quite obsessively.

[Provisioner of Sin]

"When I do all the work?"

He gave a smug smile.

"You came for all the wrong reasons, ja?~"

He turned to Apollo and gave a big grin, but couldn't help remembering an angry teenager that walked by.

"Um..maybe one of us should..check on her?"

[Apollo Serves You Justice]

Apollo smiled up to Klavier in return, his mouth shaded and just visible under his... Face... Plate. Mask. Thing.

He looked around after Pearl and chewed on his upper lip a little.

"I'm no good at teenage girls, you know them more than I do, Ky-... Klavier."

[Wheres My Special Someone]

"Men are lucky, they're never institutionalized into a life of consumeristic slavery!" She barks at Apollo as she affixes her earrings.

[Apollo Serves You Justice]

>___<

See what he means?

"... Sorry?"

[Wheres My Special Someone]

Pearl takes several steps forward and seems to stumble, just the slightest bit unsteady. She huffs and holds up the myriad flaps of her dress to keep them from getting in the way (or touching the carpet). Her imperious march ends at the bar.

"Hard lemonade, please."

[CALM Eve Bartender]

"Um...perhaps are you too...?"

But he didn't want to ask: she looked rather stressed.

[Wheres My Special Someone]

There's an awkward pause. She blinks.

"...without the alcohol."

[Man-Made Memories]

"Let her have it."

He arrived out of the office. He didn't need to know her situation, kids were cruel, and it seems she got an unfair bite today. Daian could overlook it...for tonight.

He was putting his earrings in as he was walking out, it seemed everything was done on the dowonstairs level. All it took was people to arrive.

"Well, hi guys, uuuuuuuh...party's upstairs, unless you want to eat something, because the cafe portion is open tonight." He dusted off his pants and headed to the party level. It would be showtime soon.
