OPEN

[walkingshitshow]

Who: Everyone and anyone
What: Grand Opening/Gathering post fun
Where: Pour Judgement - Jessica's bar
When: 6-14 night

Pour Judgement is officially open!

Sure, Jessica has been at the bar pretty much every day since receiving the key and has been letting people hang out if they had stopped by but now is the grand opening. Everyone who wants to come in will be allowed to do so since the staff is in place and they are full up on everything they need. Drinks are cheaper, the music is playing, and there is even a dance floor if anyone is so inclined.

For the most part, Jessica is milling about just keeping an eye on things. She will be behind the bar if the bartenders need help or she can be found at one of the corner booths nearby. Mostly, she just wants everyone to have a good time. Except for anyone looking to cause trouble. Those people won't have a good time at all.


[ Go ahead, post your people, and tag around! If you want Jessica, I will have a thread for her below. Feel free to find her anywhere in the bar. ]

“Hey you, what do you think you’re doing? Get out from back there,” he barked at seeing the blonde teen behind the bar.

Never mind that she’d just set down a crate that left a thunk as if it weighed triple what she might. Gravity was weird in Haven, it could be a fluke.

Diego stood his ground with a stern look while watching her.

"Can't. I work here. Jess is paying me to put this stuff away for you," Gwen states, opening the box of beers putting them one by one in the fridge.

"I'm Gwen. Bar-back," she states after a bit, smiling a half-smile.

And she disappears behind the counter to continue putting things away, peeking up at Diego a moment later.

"Good lookin' out, though. There are a couple local teenagers who might try to sneak in. They suck at just all things life-related," she says with a beleaguered sigh. These aforementioned teenagers have clearly been the bane of her existence for a while. "If they come in, I'll point them out. You can glare at them."

He stared and remained silent as she explained working for the bar. Gwen introduced herself, giving him a half smile while Diego didn’t alter his posture.

“Well, Gwen Barback, I’m Diego Hargreeves. Jessica hired me to work security. And as long as I don’t catch you sampling any of the merchandise or passing any to your friends, we’ll be the best of friends.”

Yet her words about pointing out delinquents scored points with him. He gave her a nod. “Are they just typical little shits or assholes who pick on you?"

"Hargreeves?" That name pings as familiar and she lights up a little bit. "I knew a Five Hargreeves. He was here for a short amount of time." But they'd spoken a time or two, and it's impossible to forget a name like Five.

"Typical little shits who pick on anyone they deem weaker than them. Not me, though, because they learned I wouldn't tolerate it. They were at the Caldera a few days ago, trying to kick skateboards out from under people. A couple weeks before that, they delighted in harassing my boyfriend for a scar on his face that he's pretty much had his entire life and got shit for. They even went so far as to throw his motorcycle keys into the sewers. That...didn't end well for them. But the point is, they suck as a whole and if they come in, you'll be the first person I point them out to."

“When was he here?” Diego immediately asked. He’d figured it was Five who had sent him here. He thought the teleporting member of The Umbrella Academy had been responsible for sending them all somewhere out of whack given the circumstances of when he’d last seen his siblings.

Gwen had gone onto ask the question he’d previously asked before the recent question. He gave her a nod. Diego couldn’t stand bullies, having dealt with his own regardless of having abilities. Kids could be assholes. Not that he’d pick a fight with kids but he sure as hell wouldn’t let them be little shits either.

“Working here should come with a few perks. Those assholes come in, they better be on their best behavior or they’ll leave head first."

"The last time I remember him being in this universe was months ago. I think he was here a second time after, but I was also in ice for a couple weeks, so I'm not sure if I'm remembering that correctly," Gwen replies, picking up the box she'd carried the beverages in and breaking it down. It was a simple cardboard box, nothing too exciting.

Grinning at Diego, she decides she kinda likes this angry guy.

"You got it. They're a bit afraid of me, but you might just scare the hell out of them. Hawk already showed them he can't be bullied." It was kind of messy, and really bad, but they haven't bothered him since, as far as Gwen knows. Peeking around Diego as people come in, she looks at the group and shakes her head. Not them.

"Pretty sure the guy in the bright yellow tank top to your six is trying to steal from the tip jar." How's that for something to do, Diego? There is indeed a guy trying to grab tips when the bar tender isn't looking, which Gwen points in the general direction of.

[bargain_batman]

“Months ago? That’s…” Impossible? Diego couldn’t say that with any certainty. He probably should mention that Five is his brother but didn’t see a point in it at the time. Gwen mentioned something about ice but Diego didn’t comment as his thought process attempted to figure out how Five already arriving twice meant anything about his own arrival.

However, Gwen discussed the bullies and brought his attention back to their conversation. He smirked at her words that the bullies were afraid of her. So they weren’t stupid bullies.

She mentioned a guy stealing from a tip jar and in one swift motion, Diego pulled out a throwing knife and pinned his tank top to the bar top. “Try it and the next one will stake your hand to the counter!” he yelled at the thief’s direction.
