Lacey walked into the Haunted Music Box and looked around for a moment before finding an empty spot at the bar. She scooted onto the stool and leaned forward to get a better look at drinks behind the bar. Her mind raced as she tried to figure out what kind of drink to order. It was her first time at this bar, but she heard good things about it. Even so, she liked to test every bar she walked into. She felt like the first drink tends to reveal a lot about a bar. Granted, that wasn't the only thing that mattered. The people are extremely important as well. Not to mention the entertainment. That was when she took a moment to watch the band. They seemed quite good. A small smile appeared on her face. One day she would be on a stage like that. She just knew it. Ah, but now was not the time to start daydreaming. She twirled back around to face the bar. It was time to get a drink. She knew what she was going to get; something fairly simple but good to sip on. That way she could sit there and enjoy her drink while taking in the atmosphere.

Christoph turned from the other girl to another new arrival. She was a young woman, with long, pretty hair. He knew she'd never been to the Haunted Music Box before by the way she almost gawked at the bar. He smiled his most charming smile and said to her, "Welcome to the Haunted Music Box. I'm Christoph, the owner. Can I get you anything to drink?"

Lacey gave a very small smile as she brushed a few strands of hair behind her left ear. "Oh, it's nice to meet you," she paused a moment and let her hands rest in her lap, "may I have a French Connection please?" Her voice was just loud enough to be heard over all the noise. After all, she was used to having to raise her soft voice. At the same time, it still sounded quite delicate. It didn't occur to her that it might have been a good idea to tell him her name. She had a habit of forgetting such things sometimes.

"Right away, beautiful." Christoph winked and began pulling out the ingredients. He deftly tipped 4 ice cubes into an elegant tumbler. Out came his best Remy Martin Cognac, which he poured quickly into the glass. This was followed by a good dash of Di Saranno Originale almond liqueur. With a few flicks of the wrist, Christoph stirred the drink, mixing it well. He handed it to the young woman, smiling in a charming manner. "Enjoy."
He knew he'd been a little over the top, but that was just the way he was. He loved to show off. When you're bound to a bar for all of eternity, you learn to get your kicks somehow.

Taking her first steps into the bar she heard so much about, Anita looked around. The Haunted Music Box...
"Interesting." She mumbled, walking over to the far end of the bar and sitting down in the last stool. The teen flipped her bangs from her face only to have them fall back into place anyway. Anita spun the bar stool to face the stage and leaned on the counter, listening to the performers. Well, the rumors of the music were true, these people had talent.
Anita rested her head in her palm which was propped up on the counter and watched the bar owner serve a woman a drink. She would get one herself sooner or later, after all, that's really all her friends talked about, the drinks.
Anita happened to be the youngest of all her friends, after both her parents, and guardian whom took her in after wards, died, she got herself involved with.. well, not the best kind of people... but they were her friends, made her loneliness go away, so they were good in her book.
Anita spun the stool back so she could rest both of her elbows on the counter and waited for the owner to come over.

╔═≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎═╗♫ Elijah & Gavin ♫
╚═≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎═╝ Elijah nearly ran the door down, he entered so fast. He raised his arms up and said, "Never fear. Wells is here!" He had to make it all dramatic. That was just how he was. Most of the people in the place didn't hear him of course. It wasn't like he was trying to be louder than the band or anything like that. Some of the people nearby gave him a odd look, while others smiled. He walked over to the first vacant part of the bar. "Excuse me Christoph," he paused to make sure he got his attention, "can I get a pint of Guinness when you have the chance?" A moment later, some girl with long blond hair walked up behind him and tapped him gently on the shoulder. He turned around and flashed a smile at the young lady. "Well, hello there beautiful. What can I do for you?"
That was around the time Gavin walked into the place. He always seemed to take his time getting wherever he needed to be. Which was the complete opposite of mister fireball of energy. It wasn't a big deal really. After all, it suited them both just fine. He put his hands in his pockets and moseyed over to a empty seat away from the bar. His eyes scanned the room as he leaned back in his chair. There seemed to be some new and familiar faces. That was to be excepted though. You never know what could happen in this bar. That is what he noticed anyway. They only recently started coming here, but it has been determined to be the new hang out spot. He brought his attention to the band that was playing. They were pretty interesting, but not good enough for him. He seemed to be able to tell when anyone made some kind of mistake.

Lacey looked down after he replied. His actions just made her a bit embarrassed. That didn't stop her from completely looking away though. Her big dark eyes were watching his every move. The particular ingredients he used were interesting. After all, he used the high-end stuff. He seemed a bit flashy, but that would just make things more entertaining. "Thank you," she replied with a soft smile before taking a sip. Ah, she was beginning to think she might like this place, but there were other things to consider. The night was young.
Lacey turned in her stool a bit to get a better view of the stage. As she took another small sip, she glanced at the girl that sat next to her. That was when some hyperactive person busted through the front door. She was too far away to hear him, but it was hard not to notice him. A smile appeared on her face as she watched him. He seemed rather entertaining and full of life. Ah, he ordered a pint of Guinness. She only heard that part because he was talking to Christoph, who was somewhat nearby. Drinks say a lot about a person. Then some girl walked up to the red head guy. He seems kind of popular. Right when she was about to look back at the stage, another guy walked in. He seemed quiet like her, but who knows really. After he sat down, she focused her eyes back onto the stage and took another sip of her drink.

Kiniri turned to the two girls who had just entered. "Hello!" she said cheerily. "I'm Kiniri, what's your name?"

Slowly turning her head to look at a girl who had supposedly greeted her, Anita raised an eyebrow at her cheeriness. There was no way this girl was drunk, no... her speech was far too define... was she just naturally like this? What stranger goes up to another in a bar and acts like that? Anita frowned at this and turned back around, but greeted her back anyway.
"Hi." Anita stated simply, trying to wave the bar owner over, hoping he would see her and she could drown herself in drinks, especially if she was forced to have a conversation with this woman.

"Do you play an instrument?" Kiniri asked, still smiling.

Lacey noticed the girl next to her addressing her. Before she could respond, the girl on the other side of her did. She glanced at the red head while finishing her sip. "I'm Lacey," she responded gently after looking toward the other girl. She didn't bother to answer the other question though. After all, it was probably meant for the girl that responded first. Her dark eyes glanced at the girls flute case for a moment. So she played the flute. For some reason, that is not so surprising. A flute would look natural with her. The way her soft wavy hair laid on her shoulders and the dress she was wearing. Everything seemed like it would go together nicely. She didn't say anything else as she turned her attention back to the band. Giving her name was only a matter of being nice and polite, instead of ignoring her. Plus, she figured that the girl would still engage her in conversation. She seemed fairly outgoing.

When the woman asked Anita another question, the teen let her hand fall to the counter with a soft thud and turned to look at her.
"No. I do not." Anita stated simply, her only visible eye staring straight at her. Anita's gaze then went from Kiniri to the other woman who spoke.
"Why are the people here so friendly?" Anita wondered, looking away from the two women and focusing on the new band that was playing. They were good, a bit slow paced for her normal taste, but she liked them. The girl leaned on the counter again and closed her eyes, listening to the music.

Christoph handed Elijah his pint of Guinness with a grin. "Good to see you back again, man." Then he turned his attention to the slightly sullen young woman who had asked why everyone was friendly.
"It's because of the Haunted Music Box. It's sort of a self-protection measure." He laughed, remembering the first bar fight that had taken place in the bar. The Haunted Music Box had been surprised and horrified at the damage resulting from that brawl. Since then, it always emitted an aura of relaxation mixed with joy. It made people more likely to laugh and have fun when they were there. Even mean drunks turned into relaxed, laughing fools when they'd had a few too many. Christoph didn't mind that at all. It meant he didn't have to break up any fights.

Anita opened her eyes and looked over to see the bar owner. At his statement, the teen raised an eyebrow.
"I see..." She mumbled, reaching in her pocket and taking out a false ID her friends made her. It was quite realistic, no one thus far had been able to tell so she had no worries. Anita slid the ID on the counter and to the owner. Instead of her real name, the ID had the name Rem Illyon, she went by the first part of her actual last name, which was Rem and Illyon was the surname of the elder man who took her in as a child.
"Surprise me" Anita said to the bar tender, not really caring what drink he gave her.

Christoph eyed the young woman speculatively. He glanced at her ID, then shrugged. It was probably a fake, but she hadn't asked specifically for alcohol. He decided to mix her a Patrick Sweeney. It was fancy, looked lethal, and contained no alcohol. He made a show of pulling out cans of Red Bull and Coke and tossed them into the air so they spun. Catching them on the way down, he popped their tops expertly so that they didn't overrun the openings of their cans. Then he turned and pulled out orange Gatorade and cranberry juice that were in non-descript glass bottles with no labels that were meant to imply that they were alcoholic. These were spilled into a tall, thin glass, followed by the cans of Red Bull and Coke. Christoph tossed in a handful of ice cubes, followed with his secret weapon, a squeeze of lemon juice to tie together all the drink's ingredients, and presented the Patrick Sweeney with a flourish.
"Here you are. One surprise." He flashed a smile at her.
