September AC 255 Odeon sat at the bar, something which he had never done. He swirled the liquor in the glass, a pale green concoction that the bartender said was 'to die for'. It tasted like grease cleaner, Odeon thought, but worked to help him relieve his stress. It was building ever since the encounter with the Lightning Wave, and so now he sat at this bar. The bar was in Emerald City, one of the Seven Jewels of Mars. Although technically part of the Martian Confederation, it was neutral territory. Because of this people from all other gathered to these parts. He looked up to the waitress, smiling slightly. "May I have a Coke, please?"

It was odd of course for a girl that young to be in a bar, however she had simply followed her superior and and there were no questions asked. Too easy! Imagine if she had come alone, maybe it would've been much more nerve-wracking. The girl with the adorable panda backpack had always wondered what it was like in a bar, and so far, aside from dim lights and smokey atmosphere and light jazz music floating about, it wasn't all that interesting-yet. I don't see why people like to come to these places...it's not very interesting. But the music is nice...

He wanted a drink maybe a smoke, and a half naked lady. Hell if it got the last one, he would be fine without the other two, but that might have been reaching a bit. striding up the bar Jason leaned in determined to get at least the drink in case the lady did not come through for him. "Gimme some scotch." Jason ordered a half smile on his lips. Mars was not so bad, he made a mental note that once the EFF took all this crap over to maybe get like a summer home or something around here. Yeah that would be real nice.

Jarryd's cold, even voice came from behind Odeon, as the SpecOps captain moved to sit down beside the Legate, invited or not. The Martian spook was surprisingly dressed in civilian garb, though the suit was of a conservative cut and drab color that seemed to match perfectly with his perpetually business-like personality. "I admit, though, I'm surprised to find someone of your..stature at a place like this." Gesturing to the bartender, he said simply, "Buffalo martini."

Odeon was a tad annoyed at her intrusion. She was definately too young for this place, and maybe he was too. Her presence was a tad comforting in an environment such as this, and while wanted to drink to forget he would have to chaperone her in this place. Jarryd's appearance was surprising, "Why hello there. I was here meeting with the Governor. Apparently there's going to be another Gladiator tournement and I was looking to get my pilots put into the Emerald City division, since their competitors all... well suck. No offense."

Jarryd sipped his martini for a moment, before adding, "No great loss, I imagine. Mostly rabble, perhaps a few disgraced soldiers fleeing the noose." Ivar Jarryd, humanitarian. The Martian captain glanced briefly at Kari, arching his brow slightly at the young girl. Though he said nothing about her presence, he agreed with Satoki: the bar, like the war counsel, was no place for a child.

A look of confusion from the small girl for a second and then she narrowed her eyes. It was as if ironic content had crossed her mind. Even if it was true, Kari seemed a little annoyed by it either way. She hated being her age at times, that way she could delve into her curiousities without a problem. "You're not an adult either Odeon-sama. Besides, I followed you. No one said a thing." Besides, it wasn't as if there had been something terribly interesting here. Adults were weird in that way, she supposed. Her violet eyes stared over to Jarryd and flashed a breif smile. It did not take a mind reader to see he echoed her superior's thoughts. The feeling had been present in meetings, eyes that scorned her presence: too young to belong there. Forget that her mental score was higher than most, her age seemed to be the factor others seem to emphasize! I wonder sometimes...

Odeon sipped the glass of the green liquor, noting it's bitterness. The waitress arrived with the Cokes, which he nodded happily for. Grabbing the cool glass, he brought it to his lips. The cool, bubbly soda washed down his throat. "Regardless, you shouldn't be here. You're what, 10?"

Baka! "I'm twelve Odeon-sama. And you're not 21, so you're not an adult either." And with that she turned away, quietly sipping her soda. The fact that no one had thrown her out yet gave her a little bravado for speaking to her superior in that manner. She felt a little bad about it...but that didn't mean it was right to treat her like a little kid!

Odeon grinned, feeling a tad tipsy. He had drank too much and now was feeling the inebriating effects of the booze. The green liquor was Absinth, brewed in Wormwood for special properties that Odeon did not know about. He slammed his fist into the bar, "MORE DRINKS, 'TENDAH! I AM FEELING GREAT!"

He slipped into the stool next to hers and nodded to the bartender. "Dihydrogen Monoxide, on the rocks." The bartender just stared at him, a bit confused. Matt sighed. "Water, man. Water. With ice." Matt was dressed in his finest - that is, his t-shirt wasn't wrinkled and his jeans weren't torn or stained. He turned and smiled at the girl next to him. "The name's Matt, by the way."

She sipped her soda, trying to ignore his drunken outburst when a friendly stranger sat next to her. Casting her violet eyes at him, she flashed a cute smile back, pleasently surprised that there were friendly people in a place like this...or at least didn't give her the strange "you should not be here" look. "Nice to meet you, Matt." Kari's tone was mature, despite her youth. She could be more grown up if she wanted to! "I'm Kari. What bring you to this place?"

Matt studied the glass the bartender brought him for a moment, then took a sip. "I don't really drink, and I don't much care for the music." He took another sip. "I guess it's just...escapism, mostly. Needed a place to chill. You know - a quick vacation from reality." The sides of his mouth turned up in a sly little grin. It wasn't a lie, per se, but it wasn't the whole truth either. He needed a place to get away from all the salutes and 'Sir, yes, sirs' for a while, a place where he wasn't Commander Burroughs, or a Gundam pilot, or a soldier. A place where he was just plain ol' Matt. "What about you, Kari?" he said, his grin deepening. She didn't look like the kind of girl who'd frequent a place like this, but Matt had a suspicion that she'd resent it if he pointed that fact out. "Surely you've got a better reason than me."

The youngster was a boy, small in stature but a special creature nonetheless. He wanted along the walks, quietly shifting through the shadows of the late afternoon sun. Once reaching a side door, he vanished behind it. He grinned now in the back room. Before him was a plethora of alcohol. The bar's storehouse was well supplied, filled from A to Z of every kind of liquor imaginable. He pulled out his list, the one written for him. He was not here to steal a bottle to indulge his own appetite, rather he was acting on the orders of another. "Ah, MacCutcheon whiskey. I wonder who would ever drink this swill. Oh well, two bottles, just like she said." Tom grinned, swiping the two bottles and hiding it under his robes. He heard a noise behind him and stopped. His eyes were wide as he could hear someone exhale. He turned to see the bartender, red in the face and exhibiting a great anger to the thief. "YOU LITTLE PISS!" The man swung a fist at the young boy, inadvertently crashing into some cheaper vodkas. Tom skirted to the side, trying his best to evade the sore merchant. It's not like he could ever sell this expensive booze in such a piss-poor town. Tom was performing a service to this man by relieving him of this alcohol. Tom hopped out to the bar, confronted by the patrons. He grinned, holding up two fingers in a V. "I come in peace?" Last Edited By: tomduo 04/30/07 23:04. Edited 1 times.

"Damn kids, sit and shut the bloody hell up." The bartender made a quick enough recovery, and stormed through the same doors, looking to kill the little pipsqueak. He scanned the room and quickly saw him. Eyes enraged, he made a move to probably strangle the thief. Wes stood up in front of the bartender quickly though, stopping him from proceeding with the murderin'. "Get the FU-" A spread of credits appeared in Wes' hand, in front of the tender's face. "I think this'll remedy the damage done mate." The bartender looked him up and down, then took the money from his hand, glaring at the boy as he returned behind the counter. Wes adjusted his jacket and sat back down, filling his glass with jack.

What was he doing here and what did she do to get himself into trouble? Maybe it was sheer luck that one of the men had swayed the bartender with credits, thus momentarily absolving the boy from trouble. Now for the better question: why wasn't the boy being told that he didn't belong there? The girl frowned in a cute way and turned to her inebriated senior, Odeon. "See? He's about my age and he's in here too." And with that, she would return her attention to Matt. "I never been in a place like this until today, but I've always seen ad- other people, soldiers and such come in here. It feels like a mystery, so I wanted to see what was the big deal." She sips her soda politely, the way a little lady of class would ven in a place such as this. Her violet eyes would look up to him again after she settled her glass on the counter. "Why would you need to escape?" She hesitated near the end of her sentence, maybe gauging if it was all right to ask such a question. The girl hated to be nosy but there were some topics that needed prodding, especially when it came to uncovering a mystery.

Odeon eyed the kid, and scowled, "Well neither should be here. This is a messed up place. I guess the saying is true, whatever happens in the Jewels stays in the Jewels." Odeon paused, only now realizing the the double entandre. He snicked into the glass of coca-cola and swirled the caramel liquid in the glass. The atmosphere of the bar was warming, but something was definately happening if the patrons knew or not. Odeon was oblivious, enjoying his departure from protocol. "That kid's got the right idea, anyways. 'TENDAH! A strawberry daquiri for the young lady. Easy on the rum, but give her enough to know what we're doin here!" Odeon pulled out a rather large amount of credits, slipping it into the tip-jar. The Bartender was annoyed by some of the patrons, but money talks. He grinned, if not disingenuously, and started up the blender.

I know what goes on in Martian dives like this, it's bad enough we got a Lolicon over there gettin drunk." Tom smiled, and then kicked the man across from him at the shins and dashed for the exit.

A voice entered his mind. ((If its not me, it'll be someone else. Someone worse, believe me.)) He finished the glass in that one swig, and after laying the glass on the table, he looked back to the boy. ((.. Epsilon, Thomas.))

The kid stole something. The guy at the bar paid for it. The bartender liked money. It was almost an odd sort of capitalistic allegory, but Matt didn't want to bother trying to sort it all out. He was here to relax. "Why would you need to escape?" The question was a sudden shock, and his grin faded a little. That was just the kind of question he was hoping to avoid. But he didn't want to be rude to the girl. That meant he'd have to lie, or at least only tell her a half-truth. "Well," he said with a sigh, "sometimes life just gets you down." Suddenly, he broke into a wide smile. Matt got taken by strange fancy's sometimes, and this was definitely one of those times. He stood slowly to his feet. "You see, Kari, life is like a....um," he scanned the room for something to use as a metaphor. His eyes fastened on a mop in the corner. He snagged it and ran back to the bar. "A mop. Yeah. Life is like a mop." Matt's smile had a hint of madness in it - feigned, but present nonetheless. "And sometimes, it gets all filled with dirt, and crud, and little hairball things..." He picked a few pieces of grossness out of the mop and tossed them to the floor, as if to emphasize his point. "And you gotta take it," he continued, his voice gaining strength, "and rinse it off and wring it out." He wrung out the mop, splattering a few drops of grimy, black water on the floor. "And maybe the floor's still not clean, so you gotta get down on the floor with maybe, like, a toothbrush!" He pulled a travel-size toothbrush from his pocket and began scrubbing the floor vigorously. "But if that doesn't work, you can't give up!" He was shouting now, his voice filled with conviction, as though he truly believed every word he spoke. "You gotta run to the door!" He ran to the door. "Throw it open!" He did. "And scream, 'THIS FLOOR'S DIRTY AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!" An awkward silence hung over the room as he returned the mop to the corner and went back to his seat at the bar. "I guess you could say that's why I'm here." Matt took a sip of his water and sighed, hoping that his little display had put an end to that line of questioning better than any lie he could've concocted on the spot. KIRBY GODDAMMIT

Any memory of his proper name was clouded by years of living with others, being only called Tom. He dashed out into the street, vanishing to relevance. Odeon, however, did notice the one-sided exchange between the shady man and the street urchin. He stopped drinking, and set the glass on the bar. Despite others thinking that he was some kind of lolicon with a thing, the exchange between the other two was real. The boy clearly did not know who the man was, but the man seemed to know alot. When Odeon felt the exchange, he felt something sinister beyond normal psychic exchanges which he had gotten used to. This man gave off a vibe similar to the one he experienced near Neptune with the mysterious suit in the deep dark. While it was not the same person, they were related somehow, which meant that he was a part of the Lightning Wave. I think you've had too much to drink, and you should go outside. Now.
