				It was stormy night and most people were wisely staying at home meaning Windhaven's was fairly quiet with a few regulars enjoying drinks and the usual bar food. Alexis was sat in the corner nursing a bottle of beer from Chicago that was very popular in magical circles. The new girl <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Penny</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p662/Elvenkitten/tumblr_m8k6ok3Zgm1qbz1e5o3_250_zps6dae1827.png)</div></div> was tending bar tonight and not doing too badly though she looked nervous as hell. The bar was a warm quiet refuge from the storm and certainly one of the safer places to be.

				Penny moved about the place with a practiced grace despite being new to this job, it wasn't her first bartending gig. Shirley Temple's were easy and Penny remembered reading somewhere that Shirley Temple was not at all fond of the drink. The hot chocolate was easy as she had been making some for herself. She liked Grace and Bren and to some extent Alexis, and all three looked like they had been through a war zone though Bren just looked like she had been out in the rain too much. "Rough night?" She asked as she put Bren's drink down.<br><br>Alexis saw Grace&nbsp; enter the bar and noticed her walking with a limp. She downed her drink and limped to the booth to check on her. Alexis had a complicated relationship with Grace, sometimes friends who worked together and sometimes sleeping together. Neither one ready for the relationship to become any more serious and Alexis had been with others since her first time with Grace. She approached her and sat in the seat next to her. She didn't ask Grace how she was, they were too close for that sort of bullshit to be necessary. "The other bench broken?" She said with a grin making reference to the first time they met. <br><br>

				<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f1/23blonde3_zps656a14ef.jpg)</div>Grace pushed a small smile as Alexis came over.&nbsp; Many of the bits about their meeting were kinda fuzzy - Grace had let herself drink that night - but the soulgaze and other important things remained.&nbsp; <br><br>The bench question was a bit iffy, but probably talked about how Grace used to pick out booths with a busted seat.&nbsp; It allowed her some degree of privacy, especially when she was getting used to Seattle.&nbsp; Nowadays, though, it was nice to have someone to talk to when she was healing up, and she'd gotten much more used to her role as a Champion of God.<br><br>"It's a little funny," she said.&nbsp; "I was just thinking about how I need a car for these types of situations, but I'd probably just head home and be bored while I healed up if I did."&nbsp; It had sounded a bit wittier in her head.&nbsp; Deep down, though, it was to keep herself from hating not having a vehicle anymore.&nbsp; <br><br>"Anything fun going on that I missed?"&nbsp; With Bren back out of the bathroom, Grace threw a polite wave.

				<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/17/LucasDeviRP.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Jacob Scars<br><strong>Location:</strong> Windhaven’s<br><strong>Time:</strong> A dark and stormy night.<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Penny, Bren, Open<br><strong>Mentioned</strong>: Grace and Alexis<hr><br>Cue the random wizard wandering in out of the rain to screw up people's electronics, but at least Jacob had the foresight to travel Seattle with an umbrella. Of course, that didn't mean that it hadn't blow inside out at some point during his nightly jaunt around town, but it was nothing that a warming spell or a nice pint or five of beer couldn't help with. The dark haired wizard deposited his umbrella at the door, but kept his trench coat on for the hell of it. It concealed his blasting rod and whatever else the man might have had tucked away from prying eyes, and wore it more as extra security even though it was unlikely for something to happen in a place that acted as a safe haven for the Accords. One wrong move would have a half a dozen kinds of beings pissed all ways to&nbsp; the Nevernever with you. And worse, probably banned from Windhaven for life. The idea set a small shudder through Jacob, but to someone looking at him from a distance they would probably just think he was cold, and not entertaining grim thoughts.<br><br>Thankfully, unlike the other recent patrons, Jacob entered the establishment was a reasonably normal person and surprisingly without a bang that was almost common place with him. But perhaps he found the bartender - well, one of them - pretty easy on the eyes and didn't want to land himself in a bad spot if she had some information to peddle like the man that used to won the place. To say he was a little disheartened at her absence was an understatement, but at least he didn't blanch as badly as he thought at spotting Grace off in the distance. He offered a noncommittal nod from where he stood and entertained the thought of joining the group while his feet were already drawing him closer without him realizing it. <br><br>Jacob changed course to the bar counter at the last moment however, about when he noticed that grace already had company, and found himself a stool or three away from Bren. She was just telling Penny about how a duck was seeking sanctuary from the rain under an awning as he reached inside his coat for a ten in his wallet. <strong>"Rum, tall, no lime,"</strong> Jacob order mechanically, only to smile wryly while he slouched in an attempt to 'blend' in with the other barflies. Given his height - at six foot four inches - the man was hard not to notice even when it depended on his life. <strong>"Maybe it didn't know how to swim,"</strong> he finally added conversationally to Bren when his drink arrived, enjoying the burn it left as he drained the highball glass. He was, of course, talking about the duck. But then again, it could have been a metaphor even though it really wasn't.

She smiled at Jacob shyly finding him more than a little attractive. He seemed equipped for the weather and noted Alexis had been as well and Jacobs umbrella now seemed to keep the one Alexis deposited there company. Penny poured herself a hot chocolate and fixed Jacob his drink. "Well looks like we got a wizard convention, at least for this town." She looked toward Alexis, she detect the power coming off them. This was one of the bonuses she inherited from her father though Nephilim unfortunately for her mother weren't big on paying child support. <br><br><br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p662/Elvenkitten/tumblr_inline_mi9xegRqA21qz4rgp_zpsfb9f5e5d.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Alexis Walker<br><strong>Location:</strong> Windhaven’s<br><strong>Time:</strong> A dark and stormy night.<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Grace, Jacob<br><br>Alexis felt her bracelet tingle as Jacob walked in, he was a wizard or something in the same weight class. He was about to come over but instead made a turn to the bar. She wondered if he knew what she was and if he was a Warden, She gathered his coat hid at least a blasting rod. She idly griped her own magic foci in her hand as she talked with Grace. "Ghoul tried to kill my employer, bit of a fight, Ghoul looked like a pin cushion by the end the tough bastard." She had a particular dislike for Ghouls these days and was always looking for better ways to dispatch them. "Looks like you had an eventful night too" <br><br>

But it was always Ghouls she hated and she thought back on the weaknesses of the common Ghoul. "Sever the head or destroy the brain stem, that's the only way to be sure" She had seen Grace shoot and knew she was very good, not that Alexis was that knowledgeable on firearms. Alexis took a drink and noticed her left wrist was heavily grazed and bruised. She had forgotten to put her arm guard on and with the adrenaline and pain in her knee hadn't felt the minor pain from the bowstring catching her wrist. <br><br>She thought of something more cheerful to discuss "So, I was thinking of getting some firearms training, maybe we can hit the range some time? Could give you some archery lessons too if you want." She wasn't sure if after their night together they were close enough and she knew a relationship was out of the question for both of them but they could be friends.&nbsp; <br>
