[003] Was sober, now drunk?

[brynkitten]

[Bryn found the alcohol.

How she managed to only discover it only now was a mystery. After all, she had gone through several buildings and rooms of the Keep during the last month or so. It wasn't as if she wasn't passably familiar with the layout of her new environment

[Look out, Bryn. It's your favorite 'Bot at the Keep.]

[He's stalking toward the alcohol himself, looking for a very specific kind of cube. He doesn't appear to notice her, short of brushing roughly past her. And he doesn't care. The human is just an obstacle in his path.]

[brynkitten]

[Bryn had never seen Sunstreaker in person before, and she was intimidated before, but now? Now she was more than a little alarmed. He was huge, and almost ran her over. She jumped back several steps and stared up at the Autobot with wide eyes.]

...was there something in particular you were looking for?

[Maybe she had seen it and could help and then he wouldn't be so mean to her?]

[gditsideswipe]

So what if there is?

[He glances down at her, his expression the one a person tends to wear when they're regarding some sort of annoying insect that's just crawled into their path.]

You have a problem with that?

[brynkitten]

[She blinks and shakes her head immediately.]

Of course not. I was simply going to offer to help you locate it if it was something specific.

[There. She can do it. Talk to the giant robot and do so without sounding afraid. Great.]

[Kevas doesn't look good at all at the moment, but after being attacked by a seven foot leopard who would? A bandage is set on the right side of his face, another is wrapped around his neck, and another around his torso though his tunic hides it well enough. After that mess Kevas could really use a drink.

Looks like he's not the only one either, but when he sees who it is he does a double take. Bryn?

...No, just another look alike just like the others.]

I recommend da whiskey.

[brynkitten]

[Bryn turns as she hears someone speak behind her. She recognizes the troll from a brief glance she had at the trial, but she's sure they haven't been introduced.

Of course, what concerns her more is all the bandages she's sporting. Eyes large with concern, she takes a hesitant step forward.]

Thank you for the suggestion of course but...are you alright? Do you need some help?

[drinkuntilidie]

[Yep, definitely a look alike.]

Wid what? Drinkin'? Relax I t'ink I can handle it.

[Kevas smirks and his tone is playful. Why is he not surprised to find her again in a bar?]

Don't worry, dese just be some scratches.

[brynkitten]

[Sorry Kevas. Bryn would be so pleased to see you if she were the same Bryn.

She looks him over with some doubt when he says they're just scratches, but not one to overstep her boundaries, she drops it.]

If you say so.

[She pauses a moment, then offers him a small smile.]

My name is Bryn, by the way.

[before_wisdom]

[Oh hi, Bryn. While you were busy mulling over the choices of liquor, Asma walked in to have a look for herself.]

I see we're spoiled for choice.

[brynkitten]

[That voice sounded familiar. They hadn't spoken all that long ago. She looked up to the older woman with a quizzical expression.]

I'm afraid I wouldn't know.

[Pause.]

...are you Asma?

[before_wisdom]

I am. And you're Bryn, correct?

[brynkitten]

[Bryn immediately looks relieved.]

Yes I am. It's so nice to meet you in person.

[She turns back to the alcohol briefly, then to Asma again.]

Is this all really so much to choose from? I've never really had anything before...

[Technically Bryn's not even allowed to have anything legally for months still, but she doesn't think the laws will really apply here. They would have notices posted, right?]

[dontgiveafock]

[There's a man behind the bar, crouched down while he checks out a lower shelf under the bar.]

Oh c'mon. I know I put it in 'ere...

[Listen for the sound of someone rummaging around, Bryn. That'll be your Irish buddy.]

[brynkitten]

[The voice sounds familiar, so Bryn draws closer to take a peek to see who--]

Oh! Hello, Joe! Didn't expect to see you here...

[Bryn smiles openly, curious to see what he's up to.]

[dontgiveafock]

[Joe looks up at her, stands and dusts off his pants.]

Miss Bryn. Wasn't expectin' to see anyone around.

[He leans on the bar.]

Since I'm 'ere though. Hello, m'name is Joe. I'll be your bartender this evenin'. What can I get fer ya lass?

[brynkitten]

I wasn't expecting to be here, to be honest. I just stumbled upon this place...

[Bryn takes a seat across from Joe.]

Uhm, is there anything you recommend? I don't really...drink. Or haven't. Not really.
