Art by Calpheon "Could I try the screwdriver ? That sounds, unusual." He asked politely, raising an eyebrow. He felt off with the feline. I hope I'm not being too much of a trouble. He thought before lightly tapping his pockets, ensuring he had his wallet. "Erm, how long have you been working here ? If you don't mind me asking." Krolik attempted small talk with her. What is considered good bar conversion ? He pondered.

"Sure one screwdriver. If you want anything to eat with that just let me know." Riannon said as she wrote it down and then turned to grab the vodka before reaching into the mini fridge for the orange juice. She heard the guy ask her a question and she turned to face him while pouring his drink. "I've been working here since about last year. Although you seem to be new. Just moved to Janhall or just someone that turned legal to drink recently?" She asked as she finished mixing his drink and put on the bar in front of him. "I will say a screwdriver is a good drink for people that haven't drank before or for those that don't like shots." She said as she stayed polite, knowing that if she wasn't careful her real nature would come out and then she would lectured again later.

'Hmm...what to do, what to do...' Janhall seemed like a pretty...interesting place so far, to say the least. Tristan was rather overwhelmed with how much effort people put into their costumes and performance in this theme park. Not only that, but even the architecture and the structure of the city was well done, too. As the girl stopped in her tracks to swivel her head around and take in the scenery before her, she couldn't help but hang her mouth agape. 'To think that someone had the funds and the imagination to create all of this. That's...quite a feat.'
When her brown hues caught sight of a place called "The Watering Hole," Tristan could feel a small itch in her throat. 'Huh, wonder what kind of stuff they've got there. Wonder if I'm old enough, too...' Once she set foot into the bar, Tristan swung her head this way and that to take a peek at the scene before lightly stepping over to the counter. 'Wow. WOW. That guy has REALLY pointy shoulder guards...isn't that kind of dangerous? Aren't there supposed to be restrictions or something for certain cosplays? What if someone gets their eye gouged out?'
It seemed that the bartender and the customer were already engaged in conversation, so Tristan simply sat down and waited politely for her turn, carefully minding the man's shoulder guards in the process. 'That girl's costume is pretty nice...I like her jacket. Geez these people are super hardcore about this whole Janhall thing, aren't they? This theme park's pretty lucky to have such dedicated employees. I can't imagine how much effort it took to put all of this together.'

Art by Calpheon"Heh, neither," he answered, "I never bothered with bars. They always seemed too crowded." He chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his head. "I apologize if I'm bothering you, I'm not so good at conversations." Krolik had noticed the woman had approached the bar and took her seat. Alright, now I have an escape route if things get awkward. Once he felt he had bothered the bartender enough, and after his drink he'd flee. There's no point in him staying if he would just annoy others. Hopefully the woman nearby would engage in conversion sooner or later. He stared at the newcomer from the corner of his eye. I haven't seen her around, new or do I just not get out enough ?

"Ah, alright. Well if you need anything else just let me know. Also you're not bothering me sir. This is my job." Riannon said as she noted a girl come in and sit nearby. Okay she looks human, but so do I when I cover my ears. Hopefully she isn't fully human otherwise this is gonna be hell for me. She thought to herself as she grabbed her note pad and pen again before going over to the new girl. "Hi there, I'm RIannon and I'll be the server for the bar. Is there anything I can get you?" She asked politely as she looked at the woman with a smile.

Tristan lifted her hand to gesture a small wave once the server named Riannon had introduced herself. "He-llooo~!" she greeted with a smile of her own. "Well, before I order anything I guess I should first ask what the drinking age is for around here, huh? Seems like it's different from place to place, and I wouldn't want to do anything illegal if I can help it, you know?" Tristan "haha-ed" but then soon realized that the statement wasn't really that funny in the first place. Sometimes she had great luck with conversations. Other times...not so much.
After awkwardly clearing her throat she commented, "Anyways...uhh, yeah. I really like your jacket! It's nice. May I ask where you got it from? Oh! I'm Tristan by the way. Sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier, haha!" She leaned onto the counter with one forearm while stretching across with the other, extending her hand for a shake. "It's nice to meet you, Riannon." For whatever reason, she didn't realize it until now, but the man with the pointy shoulder guards...'HAS RABBIT EARS?! Wait..what kind of a cosplay is THAT? I mean...I guess that's a pretty original idea, I'll give him that. A rabbit warrior...huh.' Her eyes flicked over to him for only a scant second, returning immediately thereafter back to Riannon. In an attempt to hide her moment of surprise, Tristan simply flashed a bigger smile as if nothing were wrong, but it would have been obvious to any onlookers that that smile was way too big for a "normal" introduction.

Art by Calpheon(( Sorry peeps, I'm not home. ; - ; )) Krolik wasn't sure if he saw Tristan look at him. He didn't bother to ask, what business of it was his ? He didn't want to stare at Riannon, but wasn't sure what to focus on. Therefore he stared down at his drink. Krolik would awkwardly run his fingers through his hair or clear his throat. He didn't want to bring attention to himself whatsoever. Once he finished his drink, he waited until Riannon was finished.

"19 here. A lot of places either have it higher or lower, but we are sort of the average." Riannon said as she smiled politely and kept her thoughts to herself about the person in front of her. "So what will you have? Some food and beverage?" She asked and then heard the female's question about her jacket. "One of the local clothes stores. The low end ones. I don't like to buy pricey things. It is nice to meet you Tristan. Also you didn't need to introduce yourself." She said as she kept the smile on her face and shook the outstretched hand with a firm grip.
So can I guess that you aren't from around these parts?" Riannon asked as she looked at the female and tried to figure out what she was. She noted that the female had a smile that was a bit too big for someone that is introducing themselves. Most likely a human. One that doesn't believe in the supernatural. She thought as she analyzed the female discreetly.

"Nineteen? Great!" After shaking hands with Riannon, Tristan beamed. "I'll have a coconut daiquiri then." The brunette settled back into her seat, placing her elbows on the counter while cupping her face as she maintained a friendly eye contact with the bartender. "Well, you gave me your name, so I thought the least I could do was give mine too, you know?" She tilted her head and gave the other girl a crinkly-eyed smile.
"And a local store, huh? I'm not too much of a spender myself, so I'm definitely with you on the whole price thing." She withdrew her arms from the counter, only to lift an arm up to lightly scratch the side of her cheek with her index finger in a sheepish manner. "Haha! Yeah, you hit the nail; I'm totally new. This is my first day here, actually." Suddenly she found her eyes drifting over to the rabbit warrior, who looked to be somewhat...uncomfortable? 'Oh, whoops. That's right, he was just talking with Riannon and then I kind of took over when she asked for my order...'
Without even really thinking about the consequences of her next action, the cocoa-haired female extended her hand towards the rabbit warrior. "Sorry, I totally stole the conversation from you, didn't I?" She gave him a grin that expressed something like "I'm kind of a doofus, sorry for making you put up with me!" accompanied with a quick and lighthearted laugh. "I'm Tristan. Hope I haven't made too much of an idiot out of myself yet. I like your ears, by the way." Right...they were so well woven into his hair that it seemed to be realistic. These people really were hardcore cosplayers. 'Wonder how heavy those ears are?'
Tristan slowly swung her head to look between Riannon and the rabbit warrior. "I imagine the two of you have been here for awhile, huh?" She wasn't completely sure about the man, but from his getup, she knew he definitely had more experience with the area than she did. Riannon seemed to know Janhall pretty well, judging from her knowledge of the local stores. 'Maybe I can get some tips from them about what places to sightsee and what other things there are to do around here?'

Art by CalpheonHe looked over at her. "No, you're fine. Don't worry about it." He gave flashed a small smile. "It's nice to meet you Tristan. I'm Krolik." He scratched his head and his ears looked liked they twitched a little. "Oh you mean these ?" He tugged his ears lightly. "They're nothing special."
He turned his attention back towards Riannon. He just wanted to know if he could have a refill, but didn't want to interrupt the bartender while she did Tristan's order. Krolik had completely forgot about the brunette's final question until it processed in his head. "Oh, um, I haven't been here too long. Maybe about a year, although I'm still learning the area myself. Kind of pathetic to live here for a year and still exploring my surroundings." He chuckled lightly. .

"Alright one coconut daiquiri coming up." Riannon said as she pulled out everything she needed to make one. Haven't made a daiquiri in a while. Hopefully I don't screw up. She thought to herself as she measured everything out in the shot glass she grabbed to use for this drink, and poured each shot of the ingredients into the shaker and shook for the right amount of time. After that she strained it into a chilled glass and garnished it before handing it to Tristan. "There you go miss. One coconut daiquiri." She said with a smile and then noticed the man's glass. "Another screwdriver sir? Or would you like some food and something non-alcoholic?" She asked politely and then heard Tristan talk some more.
"I used to live on the edges of the town, then moved into the city after high school. That was about two years ago now. This city has gotten bigger over the couple of years I've been here." She said as she looked at her two customers and continued to politely smile.

'Krolik? Now that's an interesting name. Hmm...I wonder if that's really his real name, though? Or maybe if it's just his cosplayer na--Did his ears just move? How did he do that?!' Tristan stared in bewilderment at Krolik's ears, but she caught herself shook her head to joggle herself out of her thoughts. 'No no, he must have moved his head a certain way or SOMETHING.' Upon hearing the rabbit warrior's comment that his ears were "nothing special," the brunette couldn't help but chuckle a bit. "I don't know, I think they're pretty cool. May I touch them?" It didn't quite process through her mind that that would be a weird sort of question to ask. If Tristan knew that they were real, not that she'd believe so, then she probably wouldn't have asked such a question, as it's sort of awkward hearing someone ask if they can touch your ears.
When Riannon brought over the daiquiri, Tristan could already taste the flavor in her mouth as she took the cold cup into her hands, feeling the nipping chill and the condensation on the glass. "Thanks!" Now sipping her drink in delight, the girl's lips curved up into a satisfied smile as the sweetness tingled her tongue. "Mmmm, this is super good~ It's well-made; thank you again." She took a couple more sips before stopping herself, lest she wanted to down the whole drink before she could fully enjoy it. It wasn't every day that she could just go out and get a daiquiri, since she was considered underage back at home. "Well, either way both of you know a lot more about the area than I do, even if it's just one to two years," she added with a crinkley-eyed smile. "What sort of places would you guys recommend for a newcomer to see? Or...just any sort of place to see in general?"

Art by Calpheon"Yes, another screwdriver would be nice." He replied to Riannon. He focused his attention back to Tristan, " Thank you for the compliment, but I don't think I'd enjoy you touching my ears," he quickly came up with an excuse if she questioned why, "They're kinda old, don't need them popping off either." He chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his head. That was a close one. I almost forgot about this whole human thing. Krolik thought and mentally sighed. "The shore side is pretty nice. I haven't gone in awhile, I'm not so sure on its current condition." He answered her final question. He rested his head in the palm of his hand, facing both females. He'd awkwardly tap his finger lightly on the table with his free hand as he waited for Riannon. He didn't do it to rush her, it calmed him down and it gave him something to focus on.

"It's no problem. Making drinks is my job. If I made horrible drinks then I would be out of a job. Also I'll get you another screwdriver then sir." Riannon said as she thanked Tristan for the compliment and heard Krolik say he would like another drink.
She then overheard the ears part and smiled a little bit. "Oh your ears and self can't be that old sir. You look young." She said as she made up another screwdriver and handed it to him. "Although I bet they are probably sensitive." She said as she continued to give a small polite smile.
She then looked at Tristan to answer the woman's question. "Well depends on what you like to do. There is a cinema in town, a book store, library, some clothes stores, the main park, and a lot of other things. I usually got to the book store and library because of my love for books." Riannon said as she wiped down the bar slightly, it gave her something to do especially since she had been standing still for quite sometime. "The beach I heard was still good. Not too sure since I don't like to be there myself. People question why I wear jacket down there a lot more than in the city." She said in an off-hand manner.

Art by Calpheon"Alright, I'm not so old. I'm 35." He sighed. "I feel like an old man." He chuckled at his comment. "Thanks for the drink, and you're right with the sensitive part. These things get in the way a lot as well." he sighed and took a sip from his drink. Krolik heard her tone with her last comment. He was curious as well, but decided it was best not to ask. It was her business anyway. Krolik rubbed his face and pinched the bridge of his nose out of habit. "Tristan was it ?" He asked the brunette, "Where did you come from if you don't mind me asking ?" he looked at her with a slight curious look upon his face. Krolik attempted to get off the topic of his ears and avoid going onto a topic about Riannon's jacket.
