*The bar had only been open for a couple weeks and business was still fairly slow, leaving Rakki to sit rather lonesome in the empty bar, upon his stool behid the bar with his feet kicked up onto a shelf beneath the bartop, leaning back against the opposite counter against the wall.*
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 9:15:33 PM)
Ceilidh has decided to try a different bar for the evening and so she arrives in something that might make her stand out more than she really intended to, this dark grey/silver strapless dress with the distinctive cut before it and flat slip ons beneath show off her efforts to have a full tan and her dancers figure. She could maybe be mistaken for a sportswoman or maybe a cheerleader.
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 9:19:13 PM)
The dirty blond haired man would scratch lightly at his well-trimmed beard before peering over as the door chimes. Eyebrows perk up high before one furrows in a curious expression. He would whistle lowly, and perhaps somewhat audibly, at the sight with a beaming playful grin before he slips up to his feet, his tan boots clomping to the floor. He was dressed in casual country, a pair of well-worn and slightly faded bootcut jeans that conform to long, toned legs and a blue and white plaid button-down with the sleeves rolled up his forearms. He wore a straw cowboy hat atop his head, with he would remove as he nodded in greeting, speaking with a distinctive Texas accent, "Evenin, ma'am. Hope it ain't too crowded in here for you." He eyed the three other patrons with a light chuckle.
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 9:21:51 PM)
She looks around the bar, noticing all the memorabilia and then the large man that has stepped up to meet her. A purse draping over her shoulder, she looks him up and down quickly, trying to get the measure of him. "Not at all ... I had heard this opened not too long ago, but perhaps I came to the wrong place...."
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 9:24:22 PM)
"Ehm! Sorry if I came off as abrasive, miss. I certainly didn't mean to offend you....or perhaps you mean you didn't know it was a sports bar? If so, I understand...this scene isn't for everybody." He chuckles again softly as he reaches up to scratch at the back of his neck, looking slightly worried that he may've just chased off one of his few possible customers.
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 9:25:57 PM)
She laughs and shrugs her bare shoulders a little. "Honestly? I'm thinking one of the girls might've pranked me good and proper tonight. Well ... it happens."
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 9:28:51 PM)
"Ha, must be jealous cause you're such a looker." He winks playfully with that wide, warm smile before he glances back at his liquor shelf before looking to her, "Tell you what, how about the first drink is on the house? You came all this way, after all."
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 9:31:56 PM)
"You're the manager?" A pause, thinking this had justbeen someone trying to hit on her, though perhaps it is in its own way. "Sure, why not. I would be foolish to pass that up..."
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 9:33:55 PM)
"Yeah. I used to run this place out in Houston, but the competition was so stiff. I figured...place like New Orleans, there is never enough places to get booze." He grins lightly before rubbing his hands together as he stands behind the bar, "What can I get ya?"
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 9:35:01 PM)
She moves to walk towards the bar with him, looking up and along its options. "Any recommendations? Surprise me?" Standing for just a moment longer before sliding onto one of the stools.
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 9:35:03 PM)
(Rakki can't help that he's flirty. It's a genetic affliction! :P)
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 9:37:10 PM)
"Hm, I've been experimenting with house specials...try this and let me know what you think," He would grab various bottles and expertly pour up a concoction of coconut rum, peach and mango liquer, and Sprite. He slides her the glass with a slice of lime on the rim.
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 9:39:24 PM)
Accepting the drink, he'll likely notice her peach hued nail polish, rising it to her lips and then taking several small sips. "Whos this for exactly? I can't imagine its for your ... regulars."
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 9:42:48 PM)
"Well, regulars have girlfriends, and you would also be surprised how many woman enjoy sports." He shrugs his shoulders lightly as he sits back upon his stool, removing his hat and setting it aside, "It any good? I'm not exactly an expert on fruit-based cocktails."
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 9:46:11 PM)
"Its ... well, I'd say its very dangerous." Smiling to him and looking down at the drink before a few more sips of it. "Its very drinkable and doesn't taste overly alcoholic so yes, you might be on to something."

Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 9:46:58 PM)
(my post came through alright?)
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 9:47:01 PM)
(Yep)
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 9:49:04 PM)
"That's good! Deceptive drinks work well...eases up the girlfriends so that they aren't as insistent on leaving despite the game still being on. Should be a hit." He chuckles softly with a joking wink, standing up long enough to cash out a man's tab before returning to his stool, "So you lived here long?"
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 9:50:33 PM)
"Mmm, about two years now? I'm a Louisiana girl though, family live a ways out of town." Adjusting her skirt just a little and placing the drink down. "What made you come to New Orleans, other than the bar?"
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 9:54:10 PM)
"Well, the bar and a good friend of mine lives around here. He mentioned that I should try moving over to try my luck. I've been here a few times from when I used to play college football...always liked the area. Just gotta deal with all these Saints fans." He sticks his tongue out in playful disgust, making the sports comment with the knowledge that she probably will have little interest in it. He can't help it; like flirting, it is second nature.
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 9:55:21 PM)
No, she clearly doesn't have the first clue who he might've been from the look she gives and offering an apologetic smile immediately after. "Who is your friend? Maybe I might know them ... though I sorta doubt it."
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 9:57:52 PM)
"Small little one by the name of Adom. Quite the sweetheart." He laughs softly while grabbing himself a beer from the ice bath under the counter, wiping it dry with his bar towel before twisting off the cap and taking a swig.
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 9:58:44 PM)
"Adom?" Pausing and then a small smile. "Yes, I know her. Though I haven't seen them in months. But I don't keep the same circle of friends I did for a while... people drifting away and the like, you know how it is."
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 10:00:16 PM)
"Oh, you know Adom? That's awesome! We met in Houston and she would stop by and visit when she traveled through. Haven't gotten to hang out much with her yet since I moved, though."
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 10:02:04 PM)
"I helped her with a series of pills a while back, though haven't really seen her since. I'm sure they helped though." Another small shrug and then moving to lift her drink and finish it off.
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 10:04:51 PM)
"Small world, though. Pretty cool...you would happen to be in the same...club as her, would you?" He made sure to add plenty of inflection on the word 'club'. He would also say it in a slightly lowered voice to, peering at her closely.
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 10:07:18 PM)
"Not ... exactly. But sorta? Thats how I know of her." Giving him a smile and then looking him up and down again. "Not the sort I'd expect for it, but ... we're all different in our own way."
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 10:09:28 PM)
"Yeah, I get that alot from the community, honestly. We have to play the cards we're dealt, though." He would shrug softly and take a swig from his beer, smiling back warmly and supressing his desire to make a flirty comment about her appraising eyes.
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 10:11:04 PM)
"Yeah, I mean, I get all sorts of comments when people find out exactly how I do things too, but what can you do?" Laughing to herself and shrugging. "Their loss if they don't enjoy it."
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 10:13:07 PM)
"Would you mind if I asked you to elaborate?" He wold say as the other two patrons headed out the door, leaving them at least temporarily alone in the bar as he finishes his beer and throws the bottle into the recycling bin, opening himself another one.
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 10:15:45 PM)
She looks around the bar before seeing its safe to talk for now. "I'm a witch, like ... you know, the cauldron, flying through the sky on a broomstick type?"
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 10:18:16 PM)
"Huh. Well, I've never heard of anyone specifically doing it like that, but I certainly don't find it that odd. The stereotypical witchcraft image had to start somewhere, right? I'm fairly vanilla...mostly dealings with spirits and the like." He would lean forward on the bar as he looks at her attentively.
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 10:20:00 PM)
She watches his manner and how he looks at her. "You know about Adom's ... condition yes?" Her eyes watching his, wondering quite what he might be thinking. "And I'm sure you're hardly vanilla."
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 10:21:31 PM)
He grins perhaps more than one should at her question, nodding lightly, "Yeah, I'm aware...and hey, I'm quite vanilla! At least, as far as my mama knows." He lifts a finger to his lips and makes a soft shh, chuckling softly.
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 10:23:27 PM)
A giggle which rises to twinkle in her eyes. "Right. Well, I made some pills so she could have some times where ... there was no condition? If you take my meaning?"
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 10:25:35 PM)
"Huh...like, turn the plug into a socket? Fancy stuff right there...I think I know what kind of practitioner you are then, cause if you were one of us...something like that is just asking for a whole mess of dox down your throat." He would chuckle lightly, reaching up to scratch at his jaw.
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 10:28:14 PM)
"Yes ... a linear. If you want to be ... set on things. Though my family don't really care about categorising outside of our potion work." Seeming to not mind the allusion that shes not a full mage, though hoping he doesn't look down on her because of it. "I could show you some things, though I imagine a big man like you would hardly want a socket, mmm?" That twinkle in her eye, teasing him.
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 10:30:55 PM)
"Huh...you know, for a week that might be interesting, but I would dreadfully miss my plug, for sure." He snickers helplessly to her with a wink, taking a swig of his beer as he comments on her first remark, "Yes, a linear. Hell, doesn't really matter how one gets their gifts, just matters how you use em. I met some damn fine linears during my time in Houston."
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 10:33:21 PM)
"I could show you, if you wanted to come round to my place... though I guess you're tied up with running the bar for the evening." A pause and then smiling at his latter words. "I'm glad you're open minded like that. Some ... really aren't and its frustrating."
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 10:35:24 PM)
"Well, the great thing about being the owner...is I can make my employees come run it for me. Give me about an hour and I can take you up on that offer?" He would reach under the bar and pull out a pad of paper and a pen to get her address, helplessly smirking as the sorcereress had grabbed his curiosity, for sure.
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 10:37:00 PM)
She reaches over and takes the pen, writing an address that he might recognise as being on the edges of the garden district, one of the better areas in the city. "Sure, I'll see you then I suppose? Get out of your hair?"
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 10:40:18 PM)
"Sounds like a plan to me, miss. See you in round an hour?" He would take her empty glass, rinsing it out and setting it in the sink before folding up the address and sticking it into his back pocket.
Ceilidh Bain (Sep 13, 2011 10:41:09 PM)
A nod and she gives him a smile and then starts out of the bar, a wave over her shoulder before she heads out the door and off towards home.
Rakki Hamilton (Sep 13, 2011 10:42:48 PM)
He would wave back to her before he grabs out the bar phone and begins to call up his employees, finding a couple who wouldn't mind coming in and working the night shift. Once they arrived, he lets them settle in before heading out to his truck. (Jump to private room?)
