A Dark and Rainy Evening, (fresh start)

[Lady D'win]

Gwen stood up and streched, he back was killing her. The table she had just been scrubbing was finally clean, it had been filthy fifteen minutes ago, but now it was clean.

"Thank God."

She threw the bar rag into the now cold hot water bucket and went to the bar. Grabbing some lotion hor her very wrinkled hands she headed out onto the bar floor to take the order of the newest patrons. Taking the drink orders she noticed that it was raining and also that it had finally gotten dark.

"Oh great...It's going to be a long night."

Tucking her long jet black hair behind her ears she headed back to the bar to get the drinks, pushing her order pad into the back pocket of her leather mini skirt.

[Lady D'win]

"Good Lord! Am I going to get any help here tonight?" She had just looked up from ringing up a tab to see at least 20 more people come through the door. All of them soaked from rain and half of them either thirsty or wanting food.

Grabbing a fresh order pad and pulling her hair back into a very messy bun she began to wade through the throngs of people that were beginning to form.

[Wraith]

the door opens to admit a large figure. He nearly has to duck as he enters the building. His skin is a deep, dark brown, with equally dark eyes peering out through a pair of small wire rimmed glasses. He wears a dark grey three piece suit, with a blood red silk tie. He looks around as he steps in, shedding his soaking wet black trenchcoat. He drapes it over a chair at an empty table and sit, running a hand over his wet bald pate. He motions for a waitress.

((Same as last time, with what she may or may not see...your call))

[Lady D'win]

Gwen continues to wade through the sea of drunk guys and loud women, until she notices the man. Grabbing a fresh glass of ice water she headed toward him.

"What can I get for ya hun? And be quick 'bout it, I'm kinda busy."

[Wraith]

The dark man unbuttons the jacket, letting it hang open slightly. He reaches into his vest pulling out a silk cloth and cleaning his glasses as he eyes a group of patrons at a table nearby. He places the glasses on his nose and looks up at the waitress and speaks. His voice is deep but well articulated.

"Scotch, neat. Make it a double, and a menu please."

[Lady D'win]

"Sure thing Hun."

Gwen disappears into the crowd of people, neatly missing the table of guys who attempt to grab her butt. She arrives back, ten minutes later, with his drink and a menu.

"Tonight the special is the Philly Sandwich with any of the tap beers we have. Smiling down at him she looks around the room, shaking her head. "Tonight is going to be a wench." Her help still had not showed up.

[Wraith]

the dark man knocks back his scotch in a single gulp, then sits the glass on the table. He examines the menu, then motions the waitress back.

"I'll take the steak, rare, and a bottle of the Cabernet Sauvignon."

[Lady D'win]

Nodding Gwen headed to the kitchen, in search of a steak that the cook had not yet touched. She also had to head to te celler to find the drink that the man wanted. Finding both she headed back to his table, unable this time to avoid the hands that grabbed for her butt.

"Here ya go Hun, one steak rare and Cabernet Sauvignon. Anything else you need?"

She stood and tapped her foot, eyeing the guys that had grabbed her butt.

[Wraith]

The large man had been eyeing the table of drunks as she approached. He looked at her as she set his food before him.

"Yes. Tell me of that one" he motions towards the one with the grabby hands.

[Lady D'win]

Gwen shook her head and took an extra step away from the table.

"His name's Aaron and a grabby one at that. In here every night and grabs at all my girls, I though seem to be his fave. I've kicked him a couple of times, but he don't seem to get it.

Are ya sure there's nothin' else I can get ya?"

She shifts and looks around the rest of the bar. "I am goin' to kill the other girls!"

[Wraith]

Shakes his head

"no thank you. I'm fine for now."

He pulls out a small handheld and taps a few buttons with the stylus, then sets it on the table. as he eats, the handheld hums softly as it scans the net.

[Wraith]

((Are we dead again?))

[Lady D'win]

((No, I've been busy))

"Alright Hun! Just flag me down if you have a problem or if you need anything."Gwen again began wading through the sea of people and avoided many of the hands that sought to patt or squish her tush. "Oh Lord! Why aren't my girls here!"

[Wraith]

((okies---am thinkin we need more peoples!!!))

He eats his steak and drinks his wine as he watches the patrons, in particular Aaron's table. Occassionally, he makes a note or two in his data pad.

[Ruthia]

Gine is seen running in from the employee entrance, her hair tied up in a hastiely applied braid and frantically trying to put her apron on. She cast her brown eyes around the big crowd tonight and groans as she pushes a stray brown hair out of her face. "Gods Gwen is going to kill me for being late again. I'm gonna casterate Jarrod for turning the alarm clock off again!" She grabs an order pad and begins taking orders as quickly as she can, also avoiding grabbing hands a the few cat calls that being a waitress seems to bring with it.

[Lady D'win]

Gwen had been waiting all the tables by herself when she saw Gine come in through the backdoor. Looking murderous she waded through the hands, neatly backhanding one patron who grabbed her butt.

"Gine!!! Where the Hell have you been!? Aaron and his bunch are here tonight and they keep callin' me back! I can't keep up with the other tables! You take the left half of the bar tonight and I'm goin' to take the right. I won't give you Aaron and his bunch."

Gwen went back to her tables and slowed down just a touch, she now had almost everything under control. Sighing she headed back to Gine.

"Hey make sure you keep an eye on the single guy in the red tie. I don't know why he's here, but just watch him 'k." Gwen then went back to waiting her tables and avoiding the hands that reached for her backside.

[Ruthia]

Gina nodded, glad all Gwen had done was yell at her today for being late. SHe looks at full tables on her half the bar and gets to work quickly, occasionally glancing at the man with the red tie as she does. Durning one of her glances on patron pinches her rear rather hard and she yelps, smacking the laughing man across the head with her order pad. His buddies laughing at him as she walks away, gathering and delivering drinks quickly as she can to keep the patrons happy.

[Wraith]

the large black man (with the red tie) looks up from his meal as Gine enters and makes he way through the throng of patrons. He nods slightly should she make eye contact, then returns to his food. He seems completely unaware of the girls or anyone else, though he does make a notation on his data pad when one of them pinches her arse.

[Lady D'win]

Gwen worked away like mad, not stopping once. Her patrons would notice that she seems to be on top of her game at the moment, but if they looked into her eyes they saw concern.

"Gine! Get over here!"

[Ruthia]

Gina had been working hard, almost keeping pace with Gwen, but not quite. But so far no patron had complained, though a few had made some rather rude marks about how they felt they could get her legs to move faster. She sighed and worked on, not giving a moment to even catch her breath let alone take a break.After awhile of working Gwen calls to her. She looks up from the order she was taking and nodding, weaving her way through the busy tables to Gwen's side.

"You rang boss?"

[Lady D'win]

Gwen pulled Gina in close, the look of worry still in her eyes.

"Really keep an eye on that guy, I've been watching him and each time either of us end up with someone grabbing our backsides he puts something in his notebook thing. He might be a cop or an assassin, not sure which."

Gwen then walks away smiling at the next table, there must have been a big college game of some sort cause the bar was crawling with frat boys and other sports fans.

[Gerik]

Kaden laughed with his buddies as Randy told yet another of his cheerleader stories. They had just finished playing a great game of La Crosse and their team had won, tonight was a victory night and what better place to spend it than at the The Harliquinn's. They pushed their way through the door, the place was crowded, and made for their favorite table close to the bar, the center of the bar. It was the best spot to see the TVs. At the game had been many channels taping so Kaden hoped to see himself.

There were only two waitresses working and Kaden and his bunch were hungery. "Hey guys! Bang on the table, the wenches are slow tonight." Kaden began to pound on the table, good thing it was made of real wood or the team would have broken the damn thing.

((noticed that this bar didn't have a name so i called it the harliquinn's if no one minds))

[Wraith]

After he finishes his meal, he leans back in his chair, savoring the last of the wine. As the rowdy kids bang on the table, his facial features shift to a glare briefly, but it vanishes as his data pad begins to beep. He picks it up, and pulls an earpiece from the side, and sticks it into his ear. He speaks softly as he looks at the display, nodding occassionally. He glances towards the door a few times as people enter and leave.

Gwen noticed that Gina was not going to take the table. "Great just what I need...athletes." Grabbing a fresh order pad and some coasters she made her way to the table.
The leader of the bunch seemed loudest so Gwen smiled, she'd attack him first.

"Hey guys, what can I get ya?" She leaned over the table and put the coasters down. "Tonight we have 50 cent taps and the special is the Philly sandwich."

Gwen stood there waiting as the guys did their thing.

[Ruthia]

Stuck getting drinks for several rowdy regualrs, Gina could only sigh as she makes her way through the crowd. "shoulda tooken that job at wal-mart...but nnnooo, I wanted to be a waitress." She looked around her half the room, noticing the guy Gwen wanted her to watch was done with his wine. Chewing her lip slightly she makes her way to his table, then pauses noting he seems to be busy talking with someone. Not wanting to interupt she side steps to a table of regulars who were clammering for more drinks.
