There's an old man sitting next to me Making love to his tonic and gin
[Thomas is standing behind the gleaming mahogany bar, a Boston shaker at his elbow as he watches the bar with a lazy, indulgent smile. Every so often, the light catches in his eyes with a gleam of silver, but for the moment he's content to just watch. And pour a drink for anyone who happens to pull up to the bar.]

Come here often, handsome?

What're you in the mood for, Jack?
no subject
A martini sounds lovely.
no subject
[A low, sexy chuckle escapes Thomas' throat at Jack's words.] So of all the gin joints in all the cities in all the world, you had to walk into mine.

I suspected, but I thought I'd give you the excuse.

Thoughtful of you.

He slides up to the bar and watches the bar tender for a moment. He then picks up a menu and points to a fruity drink with an umbrella sticking out of it.
He's had a long day, thwarting his nemesis was extremely trying today and Major Monogram made even more ridiculous jokes than even he had patience for...not to mention that BACKSTORY from Doof. Ugh, don't ask him about THAT.]

Thomas looks at the platypus that just walked in, then glances at the door to see if any stray cameramen are lurking, and then looks at the platypus again.]
I have not had enough to drink to be hallucinating platypi.
no subject
He'll wait, but seriously if you're going to take this long he'll hop back there himself and do it. He makes a mean martini after all. He drums his fingers to make a point.]
no subject
What's your poison, duck boy? Gin and tonic? Rum and Coke?
[He gestures behind the bar at the rest of the selection for good measure. Playing charades with an imaginary platypus was not going to work out well.]
no subject
He sighs and points to the menu again. The fruity drink with the umbrella.
Also he is frowning at you for calling him Duck Boy. Does he LOOK like a duck? Sure the bill might be misleading but, come on, he doesn't even HAVE feathers.]
no subject
[He eyes the platypus as he adds ice to the bottom half of the Boston shaker, then a glug of passion fruit juice. One of light rum. One of dark rum.] So are Tiki drinks a platypus thing or you just special?
no subject
He shrugs, he doesn't drink that often anyway. It wouldn't do good for his cover as an ordinary platypus if he was drunk]
no subject
Pick your favourite, chief.
no subject
He plucks out a blue one with orange flowers and holds it up to Thomas.
Thanks]
no subject
Enjoy.
no subject
Thanks.
He starts sipping it through a straw. Yes, that's the stuff]

Um... is there any tea or coffee back there? I only have a fifteen break.
no subject
Not unless you like your tea the Long Island way. Soda or Red Bull I've got.
no subject
One soda please.

[Ivan drops his head. He takes the glass, wounded pride is not new to him. Someday he hopes he'll be a strong, manly Hero... but now he's just a waiter.]
Thanks, I thought I'd be used to the workload by now.
no subject
Comes and goes. Today was busier than normal. Even I noticed.
no subject
[He takes a sip of soda. If there is something, Ivan didn't get the memo]
no subject
Although the room wasn't full or anywhere near it, she still managed to find all the crowds to pick her way through as she made her way to the bar. Leaning on the bar, she gave the tender a slow smile.]
Evening.
no subject
badbeer, and looks up at the woman who'd approached.]Evening, darling. What can I get you?
no subject
How strong can you make my cosmo?
no subject
no subject
Surprise me?
no subject
Cosmo for the lady.
no subject
So he's still in the customary coat of the Organization when he slides up to the bar, although he's got his hood down. One odd patron here won't be out of the ordinary.]
Long day?
no subject
no subject
Surprise me.
no subject
If everyone were so easy to please I'd be out of a job. Usually it's "make my martini with vodka, not gin, and no vermouth but just a little cranberry juice." Might as well order a Cosmo at that point.
no subject
Ah, you can't expect everyone to know the right names for things.
no subject
How have things been tonight, Thomas? Not too many problem customers, I hope.
no subject
Nothing I couldn't charm my way out of, sweetheart.
no subject
Hopefully not too much charm. We don't need another...situation like we had last month.
no subject
Come on, Rarity, even you had to admit last month wasn't my fault. I was just pouring drinks.
