[02] Second job

{Action - Open to housemates and neighbors}
-- location: 848 Goldberg Street
-- time: Backdated to Mother's Day, late morning

[Climbing out the window to escape the drones in the house has become a regular thing for Mal and he's now reaping what he's sowed by repairing the gutter, half dangling off the edge of the roof. His tailbone remembers that fall well.

He's hoping no one saw it when it happened yesterday but there are just so many neighbors around. Fat chance.]



{Action - Open to all}
-- location: Olney's Tavern
-- time: Backdated to Mother's Day, evening

[Now the real work begins. Mal's serving up drinks at the tavern, and to be truthful, he rather enjoys his job. The only downside is the strange people he sometimes has to be friendly with.]

Howdy. What can I get for you?

That's real sweet and all but... ain't it a bit over the top?

[personal profile] wrench_and_ruffles 2012-05-17 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Well... I guess if ya really want to.

[The captain is acting strange]

Thanks cap'n. Just what I wanted. Told ya you knew.

[Cade has had a super awesome day of pampering every single desire of every single woman he's met in town and is now working the bar at the same time as Mal. Mal may notice that Cade is giving free drinks to every woman that comes in today.]

[personal profile] adventurerextraordinaire 2012-05-16 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
"They're mothers! And its Mother's Day! And they wanted free drinks! So of course I gave it to them. That's what you do on Mother's Day, give mothers what they want!"

[Cade says this all as if it's the most obvious thing in the world and you are very silly for asking.]
adventurerextraordinaire: (surprised)

[personal profile] adventurerextraordinaire 2012-05-17 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey, I am mixing them damn good drinks! I think you are just jealous that I'm taking better care of them then you are!"
adventurerextraordinaire: (careless)

[personal profile] adventurerextraordinaire 2012-05-17 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Cade doesn't look intimidated. He looks pissed.]
"You would recklessly risk the lives of all the women in this place!? VILE CUR! TAKE THIS!"

[And with 'Take this!' Cade throws a mean right hook at Mal! Look out captain, Cade may be a fop, but he's been in no shortage of tavern brawls!]

[Unfortunately, Mal doesn't just have to deal with Cade, he has to deal with Cade's absurd luck. As Mal wrenches Cade around, Cade tries to get his footing and steps in a small puddle he carelessly made just moments ago. Cade's feet slip out from underneath him and his head drives back towards Mal's nose as his whole body falls backwards on top of the good captain.]

[Death's been known to wander in now and then. Usually to chat with Crowley, but really, she'll talk to anyone]

Could I get a fuzzy navel?

[personal profile] bread_goes_bip 2012-05-17 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
I come by pretty often. It's a good place to meet people, and Crowley works here.

[personal profile] bread_goes_bip 2012-05-18 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

[She takes the drink with a smile.]

I've always liked meeting people. What did you do at home instead of tending bar?

[personal profile] bread_goes_bip 2012-05-19 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm Death. Needless to say, Mayfield has been a whole new experience for me.
bread_goes_bip: (Yep definitely Death)

[personal profile] bread_goes_bip 2012-05-21 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Trust me, if I were on duty here, things would be very different. But I'm not. So I sell makeup. And bake a lot. It's kinda fun.

Well... that depends. The different places the town takes people from seem to have their own Deaths sometimes.

Give me a scotch.

[Jenny offers a slight smirk back. She appreciates subtlety.]

Straight up. Ice only dilutes the liquor.

[Inara's eyebrows raise a little.]

Something sweet would be nice, Captain.

[Yeeeeeeeah still a little ver awkward.]
companioning: shindig (you have got to be kidding)

[personal profile] companioning 2012-05-17 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[She blinks, staring at him for a moment. Truly, she doesn't know what to think... This really doesn't sound like Mal at all. Not when he's dealing with her.]

Um, all right. Thank you... [She hesitates for a moment before blurting out:] Are you all right?
companioning: shindig (you just did not even)

[personal profile] companioning 2012-05-18 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?

[She swallows and then carefully climbs up onto one of the bar stools and soothes her skirt around her legs.]

So... [This was a little awkward.]
companioning: shindig (pretty smiles)

[personal profile] companioning 2012-05-22 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Honestly Inara's really not sure what to think of Mal or his most particular behavior. Sure, he had on occasion been pleasant to her, but this? Was just down right strange. But she was not about to complain.

She smiles at him as she rests her hands on the bar.]


Well I'd be lying if I said this place wasn't at all disconcerting... But it could be worse. We could all be beating each other for no good reason. [She's teasing him, she only hopes he gets that.]
companioning: shindig (oh yes indeed)

[personal profile] companioning 2012-05-24 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Inara ducks her head a little, almost as if she's suddenly fascinated by her hands. This is a whole different side of Mal, one she hasn't had the oppurtunity to witness often.

Slowly she looks up again.]


I believe we both could have handled things differently. [She smiles softly.] I... I shouldn't have avoided you for so long. That wasn't fair to you, I'm sorry.

[Mara pauses on her way into town, planting her hands on her hips as she squints up at Mal.]

So you're a repair-man as well, are you?
redhandings: (☠ Watching you.)

[personal profile] redhandings 2012-05-18 01:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[She frowns, giving him a look of suspicion.]

...No.
