    "Not bad sweet stuff." Integra said as she drank her drink faster than she should. But hey with people here she had to put on a show soon, but let them get some drinks first and settle a bit. "What?" Dante questioned the bartender. "A beer... what.. they all taste the same." Dante shook his head and took a sip of the Mojito. OOooh it was good.. but oh boy.. there was some alcohol in that! He was going to be on his a** in no time. "Just ein beer Herr bartender." Hans added gently. "Ist doesnt matter vhich kind. Four auf ztem actually. Ztat vay i dont have to keep boztering you fur ein bit." Hans said with a smile.

-Alice Ladd-
Alice did the same as the male and nodded to what he said before leaving to do his job. She'd have to talk to him eventually. Just not now. One final sigh had her shoving it out of her mind. Besides the place was lively now, which was just what she needed. Both her entertainers were here today, and one was already wanting to hit the drinks hard. The mistress couldn't help but chuckle slightly with Tate. Now she really did like this kid. Taking a seat finally, she continued her drink, simply enjoying the atmosphere.

Reed was looking around the whole time while the bartender attended the others. The entertainers were cute... But, Alt had told him one of them was mean. Though did it really matter? Nah. He wasn't there to see women anyway, just grab a drink in a place he could smoke. So when the bartender got to him, he felt a certain rush. That rush people get when they first get ready to drink. Excitement, carelessness, and hope. Hope that he didn't drink to much that his daughter would notice. However it was his first night here, so he wasn't looking to need someone to carry him out. Reed just wanted to drink enough to make the walk home entertaining. He smiled at the bartender before speaking, "A glass of a good scotch, no ice."

"Just a vodka tonic, please," Nanami replied as Tate asked for her order. Someday she'd have to order something other than the ordinary, but she could be adventurous and open to new things when she was in a better mood. For the time being, the usual would do just fine. "Thanks," she added before she shifted in her seat, glancing at the others gathered around the bar. She could recognize some faces, but no names. Surprising how much things could change in two years, or maybe, how little. She leaned forward, lacing her fingers under her chin and resting her elbows on the bar. She just liked being here and listening to people chat. It could get so quiet in at home and work, just her and Raiden, and sometimes Haruka, if she was home and feeling brave enough to hold a conversation with one of the Seven Seas employees with the other listening, whether it be Nanami or Raiden. It was refreshing, being around people.

 Tate • Michael • O'Ballivan ♣ Tate grinned at Integra's comment, but when he noticed how quickly she drank though he made a note to add more juice and less alcohol as the night went on so nothing would happen. At the German man's request, Tate moved down the bar some and produced four beers for him. "I don't mind havin' to grab 'em for you when needed, who like drinkin' warm beer's?" At the other man's comment about all beer's being the same he made a face. "Acctually they don't all taste the same, some are thicker in taste and they can even be sweet. It honestly depends on what yer in the mood for." At Miss Alice's chuckle Tate realized she had heard what he had said to Mitsuke and Tate colored up some. Moving back down the bar he grabbed the better end scotch from the bar back and a glass. "'Ere ya' go, Scotch - neat." Then grabbing some vodka, he poured some tonic water and mixed it with the vodka. "'Eer you go ma'am, 'njoy." Quietly Tate took a step back, letting the bustle of the bar move around him.

Hans did agree with the man but honestly tonight he just wanted to get drunk. And he didnt care what he drank when he was in that sort of mood. "Danke." Hans said gently before he took the nearest beer and opened it up. Integra finished her drink and got up from the bar. She headed over to the stage, she hopped up and swung around a poll before looking back to the crowd. " You boys and gals wanna see a show?" She said in a seductive purr as she leaned against the pole her arms up above her head in a defenseless manner. "Then why dont you all come a bit closer?" She said with a pout and a bat of her eyes at the boys. She smiled and turned only to hook her leg around the pole and dip her body back, letting her pink hair fall off of her shoulders, while her hand supported her on the pole. Integra waited for a new song to start and some NPC patrons to come over at least, before she started her sensual routine. Integra was always a little more naughty with her stripping. It was like sex on the dance floor. "I wonder if i could be a stripper?" Dante said outloud and to no one in particular. "I dont ztink some people vould like vhat you are packing Dante." Hans said gently as he drank his beer. "Shutup! I hate that comment!" Dante sighed angrily as he looked to Hans. "Besides.. they did like Keith when he was here." Dante tapped his fingers against the bar and sighed. He looked around. He was bored.. this was boring. "Im bored.. lets find someone to talk to." Dante said as he grabbed his drink and got up. He tugged at Hansels arm to get him to come but the German wasnt moving. "You suck.." Dante sighed. He left Germany and headed over to the other end of the bar. Hm.. there was Mitsuke, vlads old fling.. yeah no. Then a guy, well he had Raiden he didnt need another guy. Oh! He could always use another girlie friend. Dante spotted Nanami and went up to her. He sat down besides her and smiled. "Hi. Im Dante, im bored. Wanna talk? Do you like gossip?" Dante asked his eyes lighting up momentarily at the thought.

"Thank you very much," Nanami thanked Tate with a bright smile. She took a sip from her glass and let out a sigh. She felt relaxed already! Ohh, she was glad that she had come by here. It really was what she needed. She took another drink when she noticed someone had sat down next to her. A woman? ...No, a man. It was kind of hard to tell. She wouldn't judge. "Dante? I'm Nanami, nice to meet you," she replied pleasantly, holding out her hand to shake. She could always use a conversation partner! "Sure, why not?" She shifted her glass on the bar slightly as she turned in her seat, so she was facing Dante a tad bit more. "Ahh, gossip?" She paused to lean forward against the bar, tugging at the hair that curled underneath her chin thoughtfully. Usually she didn't really gossip. It wasn't really something that appealed to her. Ahh, but... She was already feeling old and out of place, no need to add fuddy-duddy to that list! ...Or whatever the feminine version of that was. "Oh, what the hell," she grinned. "Why, do you have something juicy?" she asked with a twitch of her eyebrow. Unfortunately, even if she was ready to start acting her age rather than someone twenty years older, it didn't mean that she would have any gossip to share. Especially since a stranger probably wouldn't care about her daughter's friendships.

Dante pouted lightly, and blushed out of embarrassment. "No i thought you did. Well unless its celebrity gossip i know all about that!" Dante said with a smile. He then went on a ramble about who was dating whom in the Celebrity world and who was whose baby daddy and how this person totally should't date the other person. After a good while of him yapping his flap and buying Nanami a drink along with another one for him. Dante, who was a light weight, and had drank as much as he yapped there. Was a bit drunk. "So now that ive talked your head off Nanami. Tell me about yourself? And no im not trying to hit on you sweetheart. Raiden is all i need. Hot, sexy a** Raiden.." Dante said with a blush and a smile. "But i need more girlfriends and my current one is up on stage. And my buddies Pip and Hans are boring sometimes. They dont want to talk about girlie things.. when i do." Dante said gently. "Oh! Can i braid your hair while you tell me about yourself? Have any boyfriends? Girlfriends? Interests? hobbies? Oooh tell. Tell." Dante said with a smile as he urged Nanami to turn around so he could play with her hair at the bar.

Frankly, Nanami was a little startled. She had never spoken with someone like this before... Maybe it was because she was so serious. But here she was, listening to someone go on and on and on about celebrities. She didn't recognize half of the names, but she still nodded and made indications that she was following along, even though she was completely lost. Well, at least she got a free drink. That wasn't so bad.
When Dante was done speaking, she felt a little overwhelmed, though another drink from her glass helped her readjust. "Oh, okay, I guess," she said after a moment of startled hesitation. She shifted in her seat. He wanted to braid her hair? How odd. She hadn't done that since her daughter was eight and was teaching herself how to do simple hairstyles. She had to admit, it felt a little weird, but it was nostalgic, so she couldn't mind. "Wait, did you say Raiden?" she spoke up as she finally realized what he had said. She looked at him over her shoulder. "Raiden Niami?" How many Raiden's could there be? It wasn't a common name by any means. "What a coincidence, he's my receptionist." she broke into a smile. It was a small town, but she was still amused by the coincidence of meeting someone who knew Raiden. She had completely missed the 'hot, sexy a**' part, which was a good thing, because she didn't necessarily need to think of Raiden in that way. "He's a good, nice kid." Raiden was closer to her age than he was to Haruka's, but she still sort of felt maternal towards him. He wasn't close to Haruka's level, not even closer, but she still treated her employees like her family~ It was probably because Haruka had been her only companion at work for so long~ So she was pleased to be meeting a friend of his.

"Yes, are there any other Raidens on the island?" Dante questioned lightly. "He is a good man isnt he? Wait.. Kid? Why did you call him a kid sweetheart?" Dante asked gently. "You dont look old enough to be calling people kids. What are you, 20?" Dante said gently as he got up and slipped behind Nanami he raked his nails through her hair to comb it out, since he didnt have a brush on him. He then started playing with her hair, debating on whether he should do a French braid or something more complicated, something Reniassance that would look lovely with her hair.

...Well, yes, it kind of was silly of her to ask, but Nanami hadn't wanted to go on about her receptionist to find out that she was talking about a different Raiden. It wasn't a usual name, but... weirder things had happened on this island. And so she smiled and took a drink from her glass -- and nearly choked. She gave Dante a slightly bewildered look -- she understood flattery for the sake of flattery, but twenty? She did not look her daughter's age, did she? "Either you need glasses, or you're way too sweet," she replied with a smile, settling slightly uncomfortably. It still felt weird for a grown woman like herself to have her hair played with like that. "I'm thirty-three, but you were... sort of close," she paused to laugh for a moment. It was strange, but it had kind of cheered her up. "So you're friends with Raiden, huh. How interesting," she continued absentmindedly. Her life revolved around her business, so it was weird to imagine her employee going out and making friends. Maybe she wasn't as mature as she thought. She was like a kid who saw their teacher at the grocery store.

"Aw no sweetie im serious. You dont look 33 ill tell you that." Dante said with a smile as he continued playing with Nanami's hair. "And you could say im friends with him.. more like were dating." Dante said with a blush and a giggle. "It is interesting. He's my little enigma. But i love it. Of course we arent anything too serious at the moment. But we are dating i would say at this point. Or really good ******** buddies." Dante questioned as he paused for a moment, only to shake his head and resume his braiding of her hair. " What about you sweetie?"

Nanami couldn't help but grin. It was silly, she had admitted, but she was growing increasingly insecure about herself, so it was a ticklish feeling, being told she looked a decade younger. "Thank you." She was lucky that she had decided not to take another drink. If she had, she surely would have sprayed it all over the bar, however unpleasant that sounded. She had completely missed Dante's alluding to being in some sort of sexual relationship with Raiden, and so it startled her to hear it again, even more explicitly. "Oh? Y-you're together?" she asked, shifting slightly in her seat once more. She hadn't pegged Raiden as the type! Of course, she was probably the last person to judge, but it was still a startling coincidence, running into her employee's... boyfriend? At the mention of '******** buddies' Nanami had to clear her throat. She wasn't uncomfortable around things like that, not at all, but something about hearing about her coworker like that. He was part of her family already, so hearing about his sex life was like... hearing about Haruka's! Even though he was a good six or seven years older, it made her a little uncomfortable. "He doesn't really talk about his personal life at work, so I had no idea," she laughed briefly.
She had to admit, she was a little relieved when Dante changed the subject, even though it wasn't to something all that pleasant either. "Me?" Dating? "My lovelife's nothing to brag about, unfortunately. I don't think I've been in a relationship in.... god, it's probably been about seven years now." It felt so long! "Usually my having a kid scares people away," she laughed at the thought of it. Especially once Haruka hit her teens. When you're in your twenties, the last thing you need is to date someone with a teenage daughter. It was kind of depressing, being reminded of it. She was in the longest dry spell ever, probably. Even Yuuto had managed to get himself a girlfriend within seven years of his last relationship, and he was the dullest man ever! Nanami let out a small sigh. She had managed to bring down her mood yet again. It was bad enough that she was feeling old and past her prime, but to be reminded that she had spent her teens and twenties as a mother above all else? That didn't help. And so she picked up her glass and drank all that was left. Drowning her sorrows in alcohol, it sounded so cheesy.

Dante frowned lightly when Nanami was surprised that him and Raiden were together. Hadnt he mentioned him at least once?! Its been like what more than two years since theyve known eachother. Even if Raiden didnt think of it as a deep relationship it was still a relationship, right? He should have still mentioned him at some point! Focusing on Nanami as she spoke about herself he frowned lightly some more. It had been a good seven years?! All because of a kid? Poor woman. Had she even had sex recently? And why did he feel compelled to remedy her situation? Dante finished braiding Nanami's hair, it was in a beautiful renaissiance braid. He came around to her front and placed his hands on her shoulders. A gentle sympathetic look coming from his hazel eyes. "Aw sweetie thats terrible. Tell me you've at least had a fling in the meantime? Dont tell me i have to take you home and remedy the situation? Im really gentle." Dante said with a smile.

It felt a little strange to be talking about her sex life to a complete stranger, and so Nanami took a moment to order another drink. Now that the glass she was currently holding onto was empty, she needed a new buffer. She had just placed her order when Dante finished braiding her hair, and she paused to pat it softly. "You're good at this," she remarked with a smile. She couldn't do hair to save her life, so she had to admire those who could. She took her new drink, and when she turned back, Dante had moved around to stand in front of her. Why did he look so pitying? Ahh, she knew it had been a bad idea to talk about those things so freely. And so she blinked at him a few times, as he spoke, and after a split second pause, she laughed gently. "Oh, don't feel bad for someone like me," she continued lightheartedly, though she wondered if he really was joking. "Besides, wouldn't your boyfriend be jealous?" she attempted to joke, but it just made her feel a little uncomfortable. She took another long drink from her glass. She wasn't nearly drunk enough for this.
