(no subject)

I thought I should introduce myself before I went out and got myself a job. The name's Lockon Stratos. You might've seen me commenting in Setsuna's post. If you're worried about that guy, you shouldn't be. He's trying his best. If you don't see him at the school, though, let me know. A guy like that needs time to adjust.

I suppose that places me in odds to a lot of you. I don't think anyone really wants to do school all the time, if I'm right. I sure as hell didn't want to as a kid.

All the same, I'm not a kid anymore, and I'm looking for a place where I can tend a bar. I figure that if I'm Irish, I might as well be able to add some atmosphere to a place like that. I can't say I have any experience, but I'm a good worker. I've been poking around myself, but if anyone's willing to point me in the direction of a good place, I wouldn't mind. Swayze's isn't that far from the buildings, so I'll be checking there tonight, before you ask.

You're getting a job.

Do you want one, Setsuna?

There's another bar over on the edge of town, near the cut-off. Bit dilapidated, you get a mixture of folk in there, mostly the hardcore drinkin types. Since a girl got layed off it's near enough just me most days.

There's nothing else to do.

Dante.

Stratos-san and Setsuna-san. Mm! My name is Aya Natsume. I think I'll be going to school with Setsuna-san.

Go to school and I'll find you a job.

I've got to admit—that sounds a little too rough for me. But I might drop in and check it out for a beer or two.

Is the beer here any good?

It's a pleasure, Dante.

I spoke to you the other day. Let's just hope he'll actually go.

Mm! I thought I'd introduce myself.

I hope so, too.

sure, don't hear that often.

Why's that?

Of course, Aya.

Think you could keep an eye on him if he does go? I don't think they'd like a guy like me loitering outside of the school.

i have a bad attitude.

Yeah? You don't seem so bad to me. You're actually introducing yourself, for one thing!

i make an effort to introduce myself to all the new bartenders.

i'm strawberry sundae.

I'll keep an eye on him. Maybe I can learn a little more about him, too.

You've got your priorities in order, then.

Yeah? I'll keep that in mind.

You'll find that Setsuna's a little more open about himself than you first think.

yeah, that's how i think of it.

make sure to keep it stocked. i get cranky otherwise.

It's a good way of living. I'd probably have dedicated myself to such a life, if I'd had the chance. It's a little too late now.

We'll see if they hire a guy like me, but I'll keep that in mind.

I haven't quite met anyone like him.

I never went to school.

Bad is a bit of an understatement.

(Don't drop the soap around this one, Stratos-san!)

jealous.

Just returning a favor.

favor?

dude, what'd i do?

Oh (http://community.livejournal.com/indesolution/21531.html), nothing (http://community.livejournal.com/indesolution/114687.html)!

man, you can hold a grudge.

I do it because I care.

how the hell is that caring?

One day you'll understand.

hey, don't pull that shit on me.

Maybe when you're older!

hey.

no.

Is something wrong?

stop treating me like a damn kid.

That's how I treat everyone, darling.

well, don't treat me that way.

Special treatment, hm?

if you wanna think of it that way.

I'll think about it.

First get me another bottle of gin.

i have a lot of shit i need to get. got some cash?

Ask Mokona.

sure.

It's beer. Them what make this stuff are better at spirits, but most of the booze is fair to drinkable. Look forward to seein you at the bar, Stratos.
