Devil's Nest

WEDNESDAY NIGHT - SPEED DATING
Cute girls who have to give you the time of day.
or at least 2 minutes.
Guys who will probably buy you drinks for 2 minutes of company.

TEACHERS WELCOME.
Show your students how drinking is done and earn their respect outside the classroom. Once they hit the real world your power doesn't exist outside that classroom unless you strut what you have outside it.
Or bitch about the lame teachers who don't come.
Or make sure your not bitched about.

Holy shit your students can be funny drunk you want to see that.

Teatotaling not drinking boring types welcome too!

There is stuff you can't learn in the classroom. Come in regularly for vital lessons that will probably help you more after college then college. Bring a copy of this flyer for free personalized private lesson plan.

Now Hiring

Servers and Film Stars

Get Christmas money, work experience, and tax breaks. Won't effect scholarships. No experience necessary.

Hot prefered, ugly okay.

[Copies of the flyer are also distributed physically around campus. Greed will hire just about anybody, so for time's sake, feel free to ease into server roles with others in logs. Interviews can also be played out!]

[The bar is located within walking distance of campus and may or may not be known for a flagrant failure to check IDs. If DwU is not in an American legal setting and drinking is a-go at 18 instead of 21, maybe that's not such a big deal, besides for a few younger freshmen and the occasional child genius.

Frequently open later than liquor sales ordinances technically allow, there are posted hours, but if anybody starts leaving around those times, it's not by any ushering of the staff. Or at least not by any ushering of the staff that the owner endorses.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Oh, I've got big dreams. I just don't know what to actually do. It'll come in time, I'm sure.

Well, that's nice to know. The local bar is run by someone whose ambition can't be contained by our puny planet. What's next, the stars in the sky?

[Sip. Now that she's a little more relaxed, she looks surprisingly refined, until she opens her mouth.]

You're making fun of me, now...

Hey, you said it. If the world isn't enough for you, what's next? A lunar empire? Space itself?

[She pauses a moment, a twinkle in her eye.] Or are you looking for something a little more arcane? Maybe someone to spend the days with and join you atop society? Is that why you organized this?

[Her tone's playful; she isn't expecting this to actually be true, but she's on a roll.]

Well, I am sendin' a spacegirl out to do my bidding at that upstart of a Host Club, but that's more like her wish than mine... [Before she can ask, he waves it off to flash an overly cheesy smile, cupping his own chin and clearly trying to flex his 'tooth sparkle' muscle as hard as he can; if only such a muscle existed.] Or.... You're ambitious! More than you look... You're looking for someone to split the labor, loot, and love with! That's why you're coaxing me about fun ambitions... You're grooming me!

I don't blame you. I'm not a bad choice. [He leans forward to leer across the table with an eyebrow wiggle, which is too cheeseball to be serious, but just might be anyway.]

Haa... ha, ha, ha... I don't trust the average person with my heart as far as I can throw them. Which is admittedly pretty far, but that's beside the point. No, I'm mostly here because I'm bored and wanted to relax a little, and maybe get a little work done on a paper in my bag. I would love someone to call my own at some point, but I'm probably not going to be looking here. I'm here to make friends.

Ain't you a little young to already be a worn out battle axe who can't trust no one? You do the whole idol-like summer love thing in high school, you do the big hot dreams meet cold practicality kinda dating in college, then you get hardened sometime after that while you're out in the real world when both sides're too practical after that whole college dream thing. Inn't that how it goes?

But what if you don't have those experiences? What if you didn't do the love thing at all in high school, so you don't know what you're doing in college, so you're not enthusiastic about something you've never done and have no idea how to approach?

Then that's even better!

Eh. Well, one way or another, I'm a little lost here. So all those stages are kinda moved back a bit. I'm in the "what am I doing, I don't even know what I want" stage at the moment. That'll probably be followed by the "whoa, this is amazing" stage, then the "I can't make this work" stage, and then the "why am I still doing this" stage.

Part of the reason those stages go like that's 'cause yer young and stupid. But you? You're youngish and less stupid than most first timers! That means you're smart enough 'n ready enough to mix and match!

It's like drinking. Younger kids are just happy to swipe a beer or a hit off one of Mom's bottles figuring she won't know if you water it back up. Then you get the college kids who have all the fancy-pants drinks with the silly names putting everything together tryin' to get it all and look cool. You get to combine those like some kinda hard-core alcoholic! You won't bother mixing in some kinda ginger-ale or a spritz of lime or a twist of cocoa powder, you'll go right for the adult cocktails! Highlight the booze, the good stuff, but with enough frills to have some style! And you can pick how you want it, different with every pour!

[The cogs are clearly turning in Itsuki's mind as she processes this.]

Maybe... maybe you're on to something there. Maybe I can do this a little differently; take chances, really go somewhere with all this. Maybe when I find someone I want to give my heart to, I can be ready, and not fumbling like an idiot.

...or maybe I can just keep rambling on like a fool. That works too.

[But Greed's into it now even if he started as a joke. He reaches out and pats a hand on her shoulder.] That rambling fool part's important! It's taking a chance! It's not fumbling, it's feeling it out and grabbing [Greed gives her shoulder squeeze and jerk, as his other hand gesture flashily out into space as if outlining some visible scene in front of them.] what'cha like! You can have fun with it for a little while and throw out whatever you get bored with! The "what do I want" phase's fun, it's the "I want it all!" phase! The Greed Phase!
