If I see another mountain again, it'll be too soon. Did any of you know that sirry means "ridiculous"? [He snorts.] Explains a lot. Avalanches. Yetis. More freaking snow. Man, that mission was a pain...

[/whine and complain]

Anyways. I'm back. [Technically has been for two days albeit not in town, so he'll make it official.] Anything interesting hap- [His disinterested tone gives way to irritation as he turns his attention to something off-screen.] Oi that's not for you-

[The journal snaps shut with a sigh. He never finishes speaking, but about an hour later the post is transcribed... minus the interruption, and now with complete sentences.

If you're out today now that the heavy rain of the few days is finally letting up, you might spot Shikamaru coming back into the village from the North... closely followed by a deer much larger than Luceti's usual fare ((think five feet at the shoulders, six at the head, and eight feet with antlers)). The stag seems pretty content to follow him around - even into town or just standing around when he sits - despite sticking to the tree-lined paths when he can. Shikamaru talks to him sometimes.

Yes, talks, shut up.]

Wait. Pause. What do monster movies have to do with bars?

Too much like real life, for me.

[He scratches the back of his head. That sort of statement really lends to an awkward zone, but he didn't want her to think he was ignoring her invitation to show up here more often.]

Maybe I'll come around when things are slow, though. You gotta have an average lull in business hours, right?

...Early afternoons get kinda slow. Anyone who still has shame waits for the evening to drink.

[Yeah, that sounds like a typical bar. He bets the customers here are better behaved than the ones at the bars he'd drag his dad out of, when he was a kid.

Or hopes so. Luceti may not have a society of ninjas, but it does have it's share of psychopaths.

He grins.]

Oh. That works out. I'm done training by then, so instead of going back to the apartment for a nap I can skip here.

...As long as you don't end up snoring in my bar.

Chairs look comfier here.

They are that. And the company's not half-bad. If you don't mind, uhm, me.

Nahhh. [Drink.] You're all right.

What about pirates and sailors? We get a lot of those.

There's this supposed rivalry to be had with pirates. Not sure I understand it. So long as they're not trying to steal my shoes off my feet it's fine. People are people.

A pirate once stole my shoes. True story.

At a bar?

I might've been at the bar when he stole them. Not off my feet. But...out of my closet.

...well, you count what standards you can.

I got them back. In case you're worried.

Deeply concerned. Was it without a scuff?

Polished. Just like new. That's what happens when you put the fear of a smackdown into someone.

I'll let you handle them, in that case. Seems you got your method down pat.

I'm not just the bartender; I'm also the bouncer.

Scale 1 to 10, 1 being "sucks ass" and 10 being "cooler than cucumbers": job-wise, how's it stack in comparison to everything else you've done?

I'd give it about a seven. Better than flipping burgers but not quite as satisfying as counselling troubled youth. And it's better or worse than Slaying depending on the day.

Cucumbers, though. Not sure they're actually all that cool.

It was short notice. Ice cubes didn't have the same ring.

I guess they're kinda cool in tzatziki.

That a drink here?

[Hey there are some weird names okay.]

A dip, actually. And not here -- just in general. It's kinda delicious.
