Can I Get You Something To Drink? {Open}

[Natas/Alvaro]

Running a cloth around the inside, then out, of a glass, Natas poured a half-glass of some cheap, non-alcoholic beer for himself as he sat himself at the stool he kept behind the bar. Taking a light sip, he sighs and leans himself into his hand, elbow rested on the smooth black bar-top. "It's almost that time of night, Al. Customers and whatnot." There were already a couple people at their own booths drinking and some playing pool, but it was almost rush hour. Men get off work, women have free time after kids go to bed...

Listen, not that I don't like the free booze, but why aren't we out doing something right now? Remember the days that we used to kill? And Alvaro was already at it. Natas sighs and nods.
"Yeah, I remember. But you got us kicked out of the Royal Guard, Al. And until I find a reason, we're not leaving. We have a better gig here right now than most even dream for." "In fact, --" My speech is interrupted by the bell above the door ringing as it opened. "Hello! Welcome to NatAl's Pub. Can I get you something to drink?" Natas smiles his regular smile to the patron and puts his hand on his glass as he takes one more sip.

[Daisuke Takemitsu]

"Why, yes!" I responded with a smile. "Yes you can get me something." I said cheerily, taking a seat near the friendly man. "The strongest drink you have, please. In alcohol content, in taste, doesn't matter to me. Whatever you think is good, and a lot of ii too please!"

[Natas/Alvaro]

Don't give him everything, Natas! I want some for after! Alvaro complains like a small child.
"Of course, sir." Natas keeps his smile and turns around to his "fine liquors" display. "I recommend a mix of this..." He grabs a red bottle, "and... Hm. This!" A green bottle. Turning back around to the glass, he fills about three-eighths of the cup with the red bottle (which had a clear liquor) and the green bottle (a slightly browner drink) the up to the three-fourths line. There was no real line, but after pouring drinks so long, you learn the math. "This is a house special. Drink up." That same smile stayed as he slid the drink to the patron. "Let me know what you think."

[Daisuke Takemitsu]

I take the glass in hand greedily and start gulping down the liquor. It's... Wonderful! The taste is so strong, and I can feel the booze running through my system! This is a drink fit for a real man; nay, fit for a real GOD! I slam down the now empty glass, with a huge smile spread across my face. "That was one of the most wonderful drinks I've ever had, and believe me I've had many a drink up til now! More, please!" I bellow, pausing to catch my breathe. "What do you call this concoction? More importantly, what do you call you?"

[Natas/Alvaro]

Natas laughs lightly, covering his mouth with the side of his hand. "Looks like we have a fan. I call it 'Nothing Special.' It's true. It started back when we opened. It was something I just threw together. Someone asked me the very same question, and I replied that it was nothing special. And the name just stuck."
Nobody cares about your little story, Nate. Just give him the damned drink. Alvaro snaps.
Natas laughs lightly. "I'll get you another." This happened every time I made this drink, so I kept the bottles. Re-pouring to perfection, I slide the glass back. "I call myself Natas."

[Daisuke Takemitsu]

"Nice to meet you, Natas!" I say, bringing the now full glass to my lips. After a deep drink, I put the glass down and take a breathe. "Name's Daisuke. Not sure how long you've been around Silicis, but if you pay any attention to blood sports you'd know me as the Sauntering Sword." I take the glass up again, empty it, and slam it back down. "More please!" I say with another smile.

[Natas/Alvaro]

"Oh? The infamous Sauntering Sword in my pub? I'm honored." Of course, all who enter here were just money to Alvaro, and to Natas, every person was the same as the others. "I had gone to see a fight of yours two years back. I must say, so young, but so strong. Congratulations." That was back when Natas was still in the Royal Guard. He was only there on a job, and decided to see the local tourist attraction. "Please be easy with my glasses. They're not the thickest glass in Silicis City." Natas laughs somewhat awkwardly as he pours more.
OH, man, Nate! Easy on the liquor! It doesn't matter how much we make off him, I want a few glasses of this! Alvaro was almost begging.
Natas laughs lightly. "Would you like to try another home-brew?"

[Daisuke Takemitsu]

"If it's as wonderful as the first, i'm game!" I reply, with a sneaking suspicion that he wanted to save some for himself. "And sorry for the slamming, it's an odd tradition!" I say, running the back of my head. "I promise to be more careful." I say with a grin.

[Natas/Alvaro]

"Appreciated." That same grin stayed on his face. "Here's an interesting one a customer showed me." Natas pours a clear alcohol into a fresh cup, and lights a match. "Watch this, now." He takes a small bottle from below and drops two small drops in, and carefully brings the match to the drink. It bursts into a small green flame. "Go on, drink it quick. And don't blow the fire out. Just see what happens. Ever have a warm stomach after a good one? It's got nothing on this."

[Kodoku Itami]

The bell rang again as a young man in a black cloak entered the NatAl Pub. A streak of red blood ran down the left side of his face, and his eye on that side was closed, Tami had found that his vision was somewhat disorientated thanks to using Amaterasu, but it was improving steadily again, was this going to be a constant downside to the Mangekyo?

Kodoku Itami had heard rumors whilst he'd been in Silicis City. Rumors that a certain former Ariadelventian royal guard and assassin was in town, and he would be absolutely perfect for what had just popped into Itami's mind. After his fight with Rin, all had suddenly become clear to him in a sense.

Taking a seat next to Daisuke, he briefly recognized the man as the drunk whom had been rude enough to interrupt when he'd been sparring with Rin. He was glad the man had never caught his name. If this former guard caught wind of Itami's clan name, he'd no doubt instantly know whom he was, both Natas and Itami were legends in Ariadelvento.

[Natas/Alvaro]

Natas's ears perk up at the sound of the bell. He waits for the new customer to seat himself before smiling and grabbing a glass from below the counter. "Welcome to NatAl's pub, sir. Can I get you something to drink?" Natas sets the glass down and reaches into his back pocket. Pulling out his lighter, he places the cigarette between his lips and lights it, taking a light drag. "Something strong tonight, sir? You look like you just got out of a fight."

[Kodoku Itami]

"Just water." Itami replied, using as few words as possible. It was basic battle tactics, after a fight you made sure you got water down you rather than anything else, with water in your system the body could still function effectively with little drain, something he really needed now, considering the pain he was feeling across the left side of his face.

Speaking of which, he motioned to the blood down his face. "Can I get a napkin with that?" He asked.

[Natas/Alvaro]

Natas nods once and turns to a tap. "Sure thing, sir." A tap with a blue label was pressed, filling the glass with water. Natas takes his hand off the tap and slides the glass to Itami. Next to the cheap bar food, he kept a stack of napkins. Taking a couple, he placed them in front of his new customer. "Let me know if you need anything else." He replies, keeping that smile. That same smile was always there.
Water? Really? Why would you let him have water? We can't charge for water! Alvaro sounded rather angry.
Hahaha. Relax, Al. After a fight, we needed water, too. Besides, he just wants to hydrate. He'll probably get a pleasure drink after.

[Kodoku Itami]

Itami made no move to thank his benefactor, nor to do anything at all at first. He simply stared down at the glass of water before him as if it would hold some form of answer to the questions that he had in mind. A drop of blood fell into the water, quickly clouding outwards like a virus.

"Amaterasu!"

Black flames suddenly formed around the chains, melting them off of Itami who simply jumped away from the chains which were now a melting, bubbling mess. Itami raised a hand up to his bleeding eye and grunted, covering it. Breathing heavily, he re-opened it, now back in it's normal Sharingan state. Was that it? Had he just touched the power that he could achieve..?

"I refuse..." He said, his shoulders heaving. "To let you walk away from this... Now, stand up!" He was seemingly get impatient, blue lightning crackling up and down his sword.

"STAND UP!"

It was only now that Itami picked up the napkin and dipped it into the water he'd been provided, before dabbing away at his face, cleaning away most of the blood beneath and around his eye. He'd really done it. He'd used Amaterasu, one of his families strongest secret techniques. It took every ounce of concentration to prevent a smile as Itami placed the napkin down and drank what was left of the water in the cup. Only now did he look up at Natas.

"Natas Reficul." He said bluntly. "I can tell it's not Alvaro thanks to the distinct changes, but you're definitely Natas Reficul." His eyes narrowed as he looked across at his fellow royal guard.

[Natas/Alvaro]

For a split second, Natas's hair turned black, his eyes ghost white. Alvaro had taken pver for just a second to show his interest with a wicked, fanged smile. But Natas took back over, his smile returning. Awkwardness is what he was feeling. "Maybe we should talk in the other room." He turns back to his other customer and leaves the green bottle in front of him. "Here. On the house."

Natas turns to the one who had addressed him now. "I don't know who you are, but please follow me." He takes one long drag from the cigarette before tapping the ashes into an ashtray.
Hohoho... Looks like things are getting interesting, eh, Nate?
Natas keeps his smile. Could be, Al.
