Alone but Sane

[Normally Johnny's the one doing a bar takeover, but he's glad to be the one stepping up as the customer today. Why not? He works hard enough to have earned a break, and someone else doing the same work might have a similar mindset behind it.]

Good afternoon.

[ That's right, he is often in here, isn't he? Hiyori smiles as he sees him come in. He's not one to take up the role of another without reason, but it is calming. ]

Good afternoon... Ah, I haven't taken your shift now, have I?

[businessorlibation]

On the contrary, you've given me the opportunity to play customer--if you're serving and not just making drinks for yourself. Either way, I hope you don't mind the company.

[Johnny's smile is warm and easy as he steps up to the bar.]

Not at all, I'm happy to be able to afford you the opportunity! It's been a long time since I've been able to enjoy myself like this... Now then, what will it be? ♪

[ It's always a delight to hear of another's preferences for these things. ]

An Irish Mule, please.

[He relaxes, taking a seat.]

How have you been keeping yourself busy beyond slinging drinks?

Of course.

[ He nods once, collecting what he needs. He sets a copper mug with ice on the counter first, lifting a jigger to pour in a couple of ounces of whiskey, followed by lime juice, topping it with ginger beer and stirring. ]

Hm... I'm used to spending my days working, so I've been finding myself restless since coming here... [ Though that's a simple consequence of working such long hours. ] ... But it's afforded me the opportunity to catch up on my reading, and to pick up new hobbies... I've been trying to see if I can modify the phones given as well, though I haven't met with any success yet.

[ It really is difficult to get anything done around here. It's a consequence of being on a "vacation" he supposes. ]
