Sunae smiles and waves at them to get their attention

"Ah! There you are. About time!"

With his friendliest manner, Ken comes up to the bar and orders another beer, then looks to the six-fingered man. "One for you, too, buddy? Looks like you could use it, don't mind my sayin' so."
The man instinctively hides the extra finger. "Yeah, I'd like that." He starts to offer a handshake and then realizes it's his right hand with the extra digit. He reaches for the beer with his left. "What brings you here?" he says without conviction.

Corat barges in just ahead of Glen, half-carrying Ryuki like a wounded soldier.

Acting drunk was not difficult for Ryuki just now. Not only did he have plenty of practicing crawling through bars, but whatever celestial was in there had him swooning by its mere presence. Mr. Muscles and his chess partner look up a second at the spectacle coming into the bar.

"Bathroom?" Corat asked the bartender, trying to project desperation. The bartender pointed to a door and Corat dragged Ryuki into it.

Muscles and Friend don't give them much thought, but lower their voices for their conversation. You can only catch words here and there.

Muscles is clearly teasing his friend. "--God---not you---winning!"

Friend banters, though with an edge. "Shall we play a game?" he says in a robot's voice. There's more after that, a chess player trying to provoke his opponent into a bad move, but it's hard to hear.

Sunae see Ryuki leaning against Corat and rolls her eyes

"Kono yōna dorama no joō wa..."

Translation: You are such a drama queen...

And she turns to the bartender and starts to drink her beer

Mitch joins Sunae at the bar and orders a beer once he has the bartenders attention. Glancing over at where Corat and Ryuki are heading into the men's room he chuckles "They'll join us in a minute." He lets his gaze wander around the room trying to spot Kane.

Kane sips the beer, shakes his head with a regretful smile. "Well, it ain't the Dos Equis, that's for sure." Despite the words, he takes a longer pull. "Music ain't bad, though. 'Least I don't have to bust heads to get a good Johnny Cash here instead of some teeny-bopper crap."

He sips again, leans back a little. "How 'bout you? What's got you parking your carcass in the honky-tonk garage?"

Glen approaches the bar on the far side of Mitch from Sunae. He glances at the bottles behind the bar and grimaces before ordering a "eugh...bourbon, I suppose." When the drink arrives, he downs it with a visible shudder.

"Sure thing, city slicker." The bartender has a little fun at Glen's expense, pouring a Kentucky bourbon from the bottle. Mr. Hard Luck laughs at Glen too until the bartender turns his attention to him. "Something wrong with that there hand, Billy? Some kinda lobster claw or something?"

'Billy' curses under his breath and continues to hide his right hand tucked under, drinking with his left. "You don't know who you're dealing with," he says darkly, but the bartender is not impressed.

"The music's a little loud," he says as quietly as he can, hoping the bartender doesn't take that as an invitation to turn it up. He does not--the bartender is canny enough to tease a guy but not to run him out. "I'm supervising someone, but discreetly, so I can't make small talk. Now if you have a deal," he says meaningfully, "maybe I can let my guy on his own for a few minutes."

And she turns to the bartender and starts to drink her beer
Corat walks Ryuki out of the men's room and while he looks better than when he walked in his face is still a shade paler than you're used to seeing. Twice he starts for the exit, and twice Corat pulls him back in, never letting go of the arm that's supposedly holding his supposedly drunk self up. He parks them both at a table near the rest of the party. Again Ryuki tries to get up, points at a further table and pulls at his friend like an impatient child, and again he's shot down. "Bartender? Coffee?" It was a thunderingly bad idea for someone whose heart was running as fast as Ryuki's right now, but it would support the sobering-up story that allowed him in a bar feeling like he did just now.

The two chess players are terribly amused by all this for about a second, but then they return to their game. Clearly each considers the other more important than the barflies around them, especially since Suit has Muscles a bit angry. "Figh--ing ... lord," something inaudible. "Nothing else....seeds....eyes." He slams down a chess piece, barely noticed by most folks in the room.

Suit speaks loudly and jovially. "You really don't care for Hnefatafl, do you? David says it reminds him of the Vikings."

Remiel had been patient, sitting in the van. But it was starting to get curious. And it really really didn't feel comfortable in just one hostess. Oh sure, Nicole was a very nice hostess and it was concerned for her well-being, but its' friends were going into a possibly dangerous situation and it couldn't just sit here! So it began looking around for a little bird or something it could possess and maybe peak into the bar through the windows, just in case the big angels and Soldiers needed it for anything.

Mitch takes his beer and joins Corat and Ryuki at the table. "Feeling any better?" he ask Ryuki "Maybe some ginger ale to settle your insides." He looks over as the chess piece is slammed down on the board and raises an eyebrow "Seems like a serious game is going on over there."
