@🍸 Kris [Semi-Hiatus] Zelo drank the drink, grimacing. it was honestly disgusting tasting to him, though he could tell it was expertly made. The sour taste held in the back of his mouth made him want to gag, but he swallowed hard. It did what he needed it to do-numbed the intense feelings that had taken over his life.
He blushed, realizing he had disturbed the bar tender. "Uh, nothing, sorry for bothering you," he muttered, shaking his gead. He hadn't really meant to disturb anyone, just to get it over with. He knew alcohol messed with his head, yeah, but he could handle it. He could handle it.
(Sorry for the latness of the reply! I dunno, I felt so tired and unresonsive. I hope it didn't bother you, or mess with your schedule. If it did, I will make a point to answer asap!)
@Zelo Kris passed another drink the the younger male and it wasn't really hard to read the kid. College student. Conflicted about...something? It wasn't really his place to say anything. Kris wouldn't be surprised if the kid got really drunk later.
Kris started to clean up the bar, something to occupy himself to do. His hours were relaitvely flexible, Kris could leave whenever and come in whenever he wanted. Kris stopped when he heard the younger whimper and he sighed softly.
"What's wrong, kid?" Kris asked, his voice carrying his concern slightly. Was he having homesickness? It was a bit obvious to Kris that the other male was not from around here.
@🍸 Kris [Semi-Hiatus] Zelo ordered another drink, finishing it off more slowly than the last four, but still quickly. He was sick of being able to see so goddamned straight. Why couldn't he just blend in? Why couldn't he just /be/ straight? Straight kids got on easy on the campus. Straight kids that were the right age to be there at all got on swimmingly.
Ordering another gin and soda he whimpered, wondering what his family thought he was doing now. He didn't think they particularly cared what he was up to as long as his grades were high and he sent them a letter telling them how great college was now and then. He wasn't sure he mattered at all past that point.
Why was life so goddamned hard? Looking up at the bartender he chuckled. He bet he had it easy. He was good looking, obviously identified as male and was tall and old enough to actually be in a bar. He had to have it good.
@Suzy Dad? That's a bit surprising. /raises an eyebrow and takes the bottles back.
Usually parents would try to keep the kids away from alcohol.
I went to bartending school when i was in uni. graduated and decided to become a bartender instead of what i majored in. /smiles softly as I start to make the drink.
((this is a crappy response DX))
@[Bartender] Kris Yahhh in university you can be old and going there to do your majors degree masters and such *nods*
/looks at you and nods/ yeah i can *hums and walks over, taking an apron and putting it on and taking the bottles from you, and starts going over to get the martini shaker too add them in with the crushed ice and does just that, shaking and mixing it and smoothly pouring it out in a gass/ my dad had a bar i made the drinks *sighs and place a wedge and a fancy cherry top mixer in it*
@Suzy *thinks for a while and shrugs as nothing came to mind* Not really. *chuckles softly and looks at you* Three years younger than me and still in uni. You know how to make drinks? *asks as I pick out a couple bottles. thinks to myself on what drink I should make to start the work day* Ah. these would work *says to myself and places some bottles to the side and the others back where i took them*
@[Bartender] Kris (hahaha ouch lol xP) *blinks up at you and flushes in embarrassment at how short i am* oh okay hi Kris *nods and hums* uh yeah i am *smiles a bit* i am a psychology major my 2nd year in university doing that...*hums and looks around* I am 20 tho *blinks back at you* so in case you were wondering i am legal to work here *hums and looks around some more* anything you need help with before we start working??
@Suzy /nods and glances down at you, noting that you only reached up to my shoulder (appx height thing xD))

/raises an eyebrow and tilts my head to think

You look like a student. What year are you in?
/asks raising an eyebrow
((I had this typed out and i never sent it o.o))
@[Bartender] Kris (Lol why you say so? It was really brisk lol)

@Suzy /walks out of the back room, just changed into my work clothes. sees you and walks up to you/
Hey, I havent seen you around. You new? Is there something you want to drink? /asks with a polite smile and walks behind the counter taking my drink off the shelf and sipping it.
/walks in and looks around, seeing it's empty and smiles lightly, walking around and humming to myself as i familiarize myself with the new setting, passing the table and gliding my finger tips over the polished wood and sigh softly, looking at the clock and already counting down the hours to go home and get some much needed rest this time without any nightmares, not hearing ahyone else, or seeing a tall figure walking up too me as i look around curiously, turning and bumping into you/ oh! Hi!
@[Student] Kai -smacks you in the back of the head-
What part of shut up did you not get?
Uuugh!
-gets up and storms out after paying. Gets in my car and sits in it, rolled in a ball-
@[Teacher] Min Oh wow teach you kicking my . I would like to see you try -taunts and finishes my drink-
To Kris: Another shot of straight vodka.
Does it look like I'm ever in the mood? Yeah that is if you can even stand up. -rolls my eyes-
@[Student] Kai Don't make me kick your snark Kai.
-laughs loud-
What did I say? I am not in the mood for your snark remarks.
-huffs-
Whatever Kai. I'm going to drink, and then go to the dance studio and dance...I'm upset I think it would help if I did it.
@[Teacher] Min Whoever it is applaud them -says sarcastically- isn't that the reason I came here last we checked we were at a bar and at bars we drink. -rolls my eyes- none of your business and I don't need anyone to be nice to me.
@[Student] Kai Piss off is right.
-hums softly-
And yeah no one is in the ing mood so drink to feel better.
-looks at Kris-
Where's my drink!
-huffs and looks at you-
What are you drinking for? Someone else tried to be nice to you and put you in a bad mood?
@[Bartender] Kris Well you could have agreed with me or something.
-hiccups-
Instead of just not saying anything like a dumb .
-rubs my head-
Another drink....
@[Teacher] Min It's more that I don't know what to say to make you feel better. Life has it's ups and downs. there's nothing you can do but make the best of it. /says softly and takes a sip of my drink
