[Action] / SPAMS THIS BITCH UP

[onebluebamf]

[Kurt may be too young for beer in America, but in Germany, he's of age! Not that he drinks or anything, he just happens to wander in because this looks like a fun place to be and takes himself a seat with his back to the bar, watching everyone around him.]

[Action]

[sixwayheart]

[And one of the bartenders is just here... well, she just finished mixing something together and turns to stare at the new guy... just a little. She's curious but wishes she could greet him but- Buffy's not in the vicinity so she can't associate him]

[Action]

[onebluebamf]

[He spots that eventually and gives a small wave.]

Hey.

[Action]

[sixwayheart]

[PING! Well not a real ping by right int he middle of the bar programming takes over:]

Do you want to be loved?

[Action]

[onebluebamf]

[Shouldn't she be asking him what he wants to drink? Weird...]

Yeah, sure. But don't you think we should take this one step at a time? We just met!

[Action]

[sixwayheart]

[...DING! And now the voice, still flat, proceeds into stage two:]

Pick my personally: one, two, three, four, five or six?

[Action]

[onebluebamf]

[... okay, he blinks at that.]

... say what?

[Action]

[Buffy, watching from afar in order to keep tabs on her rookie, has seen this before. The day she met Heart.

Concerned, she makes her way through the bar and interjects herself into the silence.] Sorry about Heart, here--she's, uhm. She's clearly had way too many cappucinos today. You know how a caffeine high can be, right? [She speaks quickly, trying to get some grasp on normalcy in the conversation.] Maybe I can help you, Mister--?

[Action]

[onebluebamf]

[Kurt gives Hear a strange look, but then shrugs it off.]

Uh... right, sure. Wagner, Kurt Wagner. Just a soda? Do you have those here?

[Action]

[sixwayheart]

[Heart, meanwhile, just keeps silently focused on Kurt. Now that Buffy's here should could talk (when Kurt's not around) probably but her programming is still trying to make sense of it. ...Plus she's locked in]

[Action]

[slaying]

[Buffy remembers how this went. In her own experience, Heart had remained rather blank until she had picked a number. So...]

S-soda? Of course. We've got all kinds of flavours but I'd probably recommend the cherry. How many sodas would you like? Just...let Heart know, and she'll fill the order. Lickety split.

[These last two words directed someone direly at Heart. What are you up to, girl?]

[Action]

[onebluebamf]

[Kurt just gives Buffy a weird look, wondering why she's acting so weird.]

How many sodas do I want? Am I supposed to drink several at a time?

[Action]

[slaying]

[Spluttering.] Th-they're just that good! Unbelievably delicious. You'll definitely want more than just one!

[Then, she looks sideways at Heart. God, she didn't know what the numbers were for. Maybe--] Or--or, just one. Whatever. No pressure.

[Action]

[onebluebamf]

[Kurt is a little suspicious now. Why is the redhead silent and why is the blond trying to give him so much to drink?]

Uh... actually, I'm not sure I'm all that thirsty anymore... [It could be POISONED.]

[Action]

[sixwayheart]

[Heart blinks once at this, actually, and then shakes her head. She's still locked in silence but she tries to get Kurt's attention to look imploringly at her. ...She wants to try to get him to pick a mode but there's no good way she can portray this, probably]

[Action]

[slaying]

Wait! You can't just leave. [Because what if Heart just...stays this way? You broke her robo-girlfriend, Kurt. That is unacceptable.

She eyes Heart's blinking with a kind of helplessness. Oh dear.] Well, you can. After you just..randomly pick a number of sodas. Then you're totally free to go.
