8TH BARK | TASTE TESTING | VIDEO/ACTION

[nofortunateone]

[Toby flicks on the screen standing behind what looks like a rustic bar.]

Hey. [He sort of sucks at using these stupid video things and he'll always forget to introduce himself.] I'm about to open a place and we're going to have custom beers.

Before that I need people to come taste them and tell me what they like or don't like about them. [He likes to get straight to the point.]

Address is listed below.

[Without much more to say the video flicks off.]


[OOC: Toby will be at his unopened, unfinished Tavern. For those who come to taste you'll find him standing behind the bar with an annoyed look on his face. There are also a few papers out with menu's listed on them and puns scratched in messy writing next to each item.]

Whoa whoa whoa. Is it free beer or do we have to pay? Because I'll never pass up free beer.

Video

[nofortunateone]

Free but you'll be limited and you need to tell me what you think.

Video

[burnwithawesome]

Limited to like, 40 beers?

[Belle had seen the post, but didn't reply. Instead she had found herself going there in person. Not to taste test but to actually see what he was up to.]

Nice place you got. I thought I would come see how you were doing.

[nofortunateone]

[Toby looks up as Belle walks into the Tavern. It's still under construction and there aren't any chairs except those lined up around the bar.]

I'm fine... are you here for beer?

[He sounds skeptical, not that she doesn't drink but he doesn't remember her drinking beer.]

action;

[namemeansbeauty]

No, I just wanted to check things out. It looks like it's coming along.

[She can drink beer. It just kind of reminds her when she was Lacey. That was not soemthing she wanted to reminded herself of at the moment.]

So have you had people try thre beer?

[Right now, fai was in a foul mood, but was trying his hardest to not show it and just continue to get the job going. But the thought of even having a tiny portion of drink seemed like a good enough idea.]

Can I volunteer?

video;

[nofortunateone]

Yeah. I'll have some samples ready for you.

[It isn't hard to tell that Fai needs a drink and while Toby doesn't know the man well, he has been working for him for some time.]

video;

[truesmiles]

[Fai can't help but smile. He was glad of that at least, even though it doesn't always get him drunk. Which he wondered if that would be a good thing this time or not.]

Just give me an hour, okay?

[And he would be there within an hour.]

[She might be at work, but Tony can suck it. She's too proud.]

Look at you.

( video; )

[nofortunateone]

[Toby's lips twist into something that might look like a proud smile.]

Surprised?

( video; )

[justalittlerunaway]

[She shakes her head.]

Nope. Just proud. [And really happy for you.]

[Clay doesn't feel like dealing with the world, today.]

Place looks good.

[The look on Ronan's face says he's impressed, even if his tone is teasing.]

He's a damned good investigator and he makes beer. What do you know?

Video;

[nofortunateone]

You don't have to sound surprised.

[Toby's reply is gruff and standoffish but it's just how him and Ronan talk to each other.]

Don't expect any discounts if you stop by.

[whatsbackup]

[Ronan raises an eyebrow as he leans back on the bench outside the flower shop, lighting a cigarette.]

Jesus, and he's charitable, too.

[professorrieben]

[This feed doesn't come until the evening, and the man on the other end, usually reserved and unable to be ruffled at all, look surprised and isn't doing a very good job at covering that up.]

...You're Tobias Allaway, aren't you?

video;

[nofortunateone]

...

Don't fucking call me that.

[He doesn't usually swear, the habit that been worked out of him after being around his siblings all the time but his siblings were older and he'd been hanging out with Clay to much.]

Who are you?

video;

[professorrieben]

Easy, lad. I meant no offense.

[He doesn't look shaken, though. If anything, he looks amused.]

Charles Rieben. I know your father.

[mechanica]

No constructed human language can express how direly I need beer right now. I'm in.

[text]

[nofortunateone]

I'll have one ready when you stop by.
Do you have a preference?

Action

[lunarlegionnaire]

[Who's Jake Lockley not to see a buddy through? The streetwise oddjobsman will be rapping on the tavern door before stepping on through, throwing the joint an appreciative glance.]

Heard a wolf was openin' a den t'the big wide world. Hadda see it for m'self.

Action

[nofortunateone]

[Toby recognizes the scent of the man who steps inside and turns his head to take a look.]

A wolf huh? Where you hear something like that?

[He can't help but feel snarky while standing behind the bar. It's having that effect on him.]
