Staff Meeting

[Victor]

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--

Dominique walks in and gives a wave and takes a seat.

Kenlie: ... Figures he'd be the late one.
Kenlie hoisted herself up onto the bar.
Kenlie rubbed her eyes.

Dominique looks around. "More coming?"

Kenlie: Yeah, Ven should be.

Victor flicked his lighter to ignite the fading glow on his cigar.

Kenlie slid a pack of menthols from her jacket and picked one out with her front teeth.
Kenlie snagged Vic's lighter so she could spark up.

Victor smirked at the woman.
Victor: I want that back.

Dominique slid into a seat giving Kenlie a wink as she pulled off her jacket.

Kenlie eyed him as she took a long drag, then gave the lighter back to him. By putting it in his back pocket. And pinching his ***.

Dominique: "Ven, Vic.."

Mkvenner: Dom, Vic. Blinky. Good to see you all. As you've probably noticed, the bar's now... well, furnished.

Dominique took a look around and behind then looked back at the ones gathered. "Looks amazing."

Mkvenner: And well furnished

Kenlie turned her gaze to Boss and grinned around the filter in her mouth.

Victor grinned, folding his arms over his chest. He looked to Dom then to Ven, nodding. "I still don't see the stripper pole."

Kenlie: That is going downstairs.
Kenlie: With two cages.

Mkvenner: Yeah, that

Victor: I'll be a happy man.

Kenlie: ... Three cages. Two for dancing, one for fighting.

Dominique perked up and took a quick inventory and found the man was right.
Dominique smiled at the mentioned additions.

Kenlie: I figured we didn't really need one with the bar up here, because...
Kenlie: Well, there's the bar...
Kenlie: And we can go all Coyote Ugly with it, right?

Dominique smirks.

Victor nodded.

Dominique: Hell yes.

Victor: What are we doing for tomorrow night?

Kenlie grinned at Dom.

Kenlie: We said **** Halloween and skipped straight to celebrating Dia de los Muertos.
Kenlie: I did, actually... Ven just signed off on it.

Victor: Sounds good. All I've been hearing is Halloween this, Halloween that...it's old already.

Kenlie: Exactly.
Kenlie: Every ******* venue in town is doing something.
Kenlie: So we should stand out.

Dominique: I have been watching those videos and practicing. Can spin a bottle without breaking it. Drink recipes are coming along nicely.

Victor nodded.

Mkvenner: Good times all round, really. And yeah - Halloween is so overdone these days

Kenlie: You need to help me master that.

Dominique: Just like juggling. We can practice.

Victor grunted.
Victor: Who is working where anyways?

Kenlie eyed Vic. "You okay?"
Kenlie: Oh...

Victor winked slyly at Ken.

Mkvenner: Well, Blinky's on security. Everyone else, myself included, can just... fit in wherever, really. We all know roughly what needs to be done

Kenlie: People seem to think I look like a sexy bartender? So I just... shove beers at people, and make sure fights don't break out in the process.

Victor: You stay away from the bar, woman...I can handle those assholes. You keep post at the door and I'll sling beer. I wanna watch you handle the fights.
Victor grinned at her.

Dominique chuckles. "I have a feeling no matter what Kenlie does it will be handled well."

Victor nodded. "I agree. She was a good choice for security."

Mkvenner: It's always nice to see someone truly enjoying their work, too

Kenlie smirked brightly.

Victor: I'll be barback..make sure we stay stocked up.

Kenlie: I wouldn't lose an arm for just anything.

Victor: Keep the bar clean and do dishes and ****.
Victor: Keep the tenders jobs easy...taking that green.

Kenlie: So that leaves Kleo, Dom and Cat, right?
Kenlie: And if Rose tries ****, I can kick her ***?

Mkvenner: Well, you are security

Kenlie: Excellent.

Victor just toyed with his cigar.

Kenlie: I work on a no-********, one warning basis.
Kenlie: So hopefully she's not as daft as she seems.

Victor: Pretty sure she's had her one warning.

Kenlie: She has.

[Dominique]

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--

Victor cracked his neck and shifted around to lean against the bar.

Kenlie curled a set of fingers around Vic's shoulder, massaging absently while she ashed her cigarette.

Victor: I'm sure Kleo wouldn't mind doing some slinging. Could keep her moving around the tables.

Victor: She'll be good at keeping the tension down and the party going.

Dominique listens while folding her legs up beneath her.

Mkvenner: Works for me. Just need to make sure everyone stays up top. Basement's off limits for the duration and obviously so's Church
Mkvenner: And keeping the party going is a solid plan, to my mind

Kenlie: And Cat can take the booths. Though, if neither of them can make it...

Victor nodded.
Victor: Then we'll just work double time.

Kenlie: Yep.
Kenlie: And Ven?

Mkvenner: I'll be wandering around making myself visible, so I can cover stuff as and when I'm needed

Kenlie: Want me to put some cameras on the stairs?
Kenlie: Catch any nosy shits.

Mkvenner: I like the sound of that

Dominique nods. "I can do whatever. Can make traps and security systems just get me the parts.

Kenlie: Alright. Make sure you lock the doors up before then.

Mkvenner: Yeah, I'll be doing that later on
Mkvenner: Oh, and Dom, I have something for you somewhere
Mkvenner pats his pockets

Kenlie: Me too, actually.
Kenlie laid herself across the bar so she could stretch for her bag. When she got it, she wiggled a hand inside to retrieve a gun part she'd found.

Victor ashed his cigar and dug into his pocket, pulling out a square of aluminum. "****...I still have this on me."
Victor: Been getting a lot of meth off these shitheads lately.

Mkvenner: That's a point, need to make the rules known to the people coming in tomorrow. Don't give a damn what you do outside the bar, but in here it's clean. Don't need trouble from the law busting up a good thing

Victor nodded and replaced the square. He'd flush it when he got back to Kenlie's.

Kenlie nodded.

Kenlie: It's illegal to smoke in a bar, actually... but...
Kenlie: Do we think anyone's going to ******* bust us for a cigarette?

Mkvenner: Oh, smoking's fine

Dominique nodded as well in agreement.

Victor: When did that happen?

Mkvenner: Don't give a **** about that. But like... narcotics is another thing

Kenlie: About four years ago, Vic.
Kenlie: Smoking cigs is banned from all public venues.
Kenlie: It's ********.

Victor: ****...guess I never got the memo...
Victor chuckled and replaced his cigar to his lips.

Kenlie: So no narcotics. I'll check the bathroom from time to time.

Mkvenner: And if they really want to fight, they can take it outside. We don't have the cage set up yet

Victor: I'll do my best.
Victor grinned.

Mkvenner: You two put a lot of effort into... acquiring... the furniture. Don't want any of it getting broke first night out

Kenlie: You know... this place has come a long way from when Dom and I stumbled in here almost a year ago.

Mkvenner: It really has

Kenlie: It's like a second home.

Dominique looks to Kenlie and smiles. "You guys made it a home. It has so much history yet to come."

Victor: Mhm...I like being here.
Victor: When I'm not with her.
Victor: nodded to Ken.

Kenlie messed with her sister's hair, kicked Ven lightly in the side with the toe of her boot, then kissed Vic's cheek.

Victor: Or killing ****.

Mkvenner: Ow.

Kenlie: Pussy.

Victor grunted.

Mkvenner: *****

Kenlie: Old fart.

Dominique wrinkled up her nose and returned the ruffle to her sisters head.

Kenlie grinned.

Dominique chuckles. "Sounds like love."

Mkvenner: Strumpet

Kenlie: ...
Kenlie: The **** is a strumpet?

Victor laughed.

Kenlie: Is that like a pastry?

Dominique: Goes with soup or something...tea?"

Kenlie: It sounds like a pastry.
Kenlie: Exactly.

Mkvenner laughs, "No, not exactly... "

Dominique looks more than curious at Ven.

Mkvenner: I think you two are thinking of ‘crumpet’

Kenlie: Ah, that's the one.

[Kleo]

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--

Dominique shrugs lightly. "Must be it."

Kenlie slid her phone free and Googled this ****.
Kenlie: ... Oy!

Victor laughed again

Dominique: Strumpet & Pink. They make underwear."

Kenlie snorted.
Kenlie: A strumpet's a whore, Dom.

Dominique looks at them pulling out her phone.

Kenlie: Don't wear their undies.

Dominique shoves it back in her pocket. "Well alrighty then."

Mkvenner: Or do. I mean, it's up to you at the end of the day

Victor puffed a few times, a smile behind the plumes.

Kenlie: Or you do what?
Kenlie:Wear whore's panties?
Kenlie blinked.

Victor looked at Ven. "TMI, brah..."

Dominique smirked. "Wearing 'em doesnt make you a whore."

Mkvenner: I was just saying in general, man

Kenlie wiggled a finger in her ear. "I must be hearing ****."
Kenlie: Oh!
Kenlie: So speaking of parties.
Kenlie: Since we're a pair, and you two are a "pair".
Kenlie made air quotations with her fingers.
Kenlie: What are you wearing?

Victor leaned against Kenlie with a smile as he eyed the other two.
Victor: Good question, Scully.

Kenlie beamed.

Mkvenner points at his scars, "I'm the Joker obviously. Costume done."

Victor: Does that make Dom Harleyquinn?

Dominique: "Scars add character. Nothing should be pretty about a man's face."

Kenlie: We have to bring, uh... treats.
Kenlie: So I'm bringing books.
Kenlie held up one of her tomes.

Victor blinked.

Kenlie: Don't need them anymore.

Victor: Mm.
Victor turned to Ken. "Fae?"

Kenlie: Um...
Kenlie: No one told you about the fae?

Victor just gave her a blank stare.

Mkvenner: They're assholes.

Kenlie: ... Okay.

Victor: I've gotten fadebeasts, zombies and vampires...what the **** else is there?

Kenlie: So basically.
Kenlie: They're worse than fadebeasts.

Victor deadpanned.

Kenlie: They hate vampires.
Kenlie: And they live in the woods.
Kenlie: They find you resting around out there? They'll take limbs.

Victor: Great...

Dominique: Mean bastards.

Kenlie: But they're nifty for performing rituals.
Kenlie: Which is what I did.
Kenlie: I healed people, secured homes, made people stronger, located enemies...
Kenlie: By trapping a fae in an arcane circle and using their energy to do it.
Kenlie: scratched her head.
Kenlie: So they probably hate me more.

Victor: Well damn....
Victor had a whole new respect for Kenlie's ability to take care of ****.

Kenlie smiled softly.
Kenlie: S'the thing about sorcerers. We're... They're good with magic.

Victor: I'm just trying to stay alive...

Kenlie: Anyway.
Kenlie: You're doing a good job.
Kenlie: If I do say so myself.

Mkvenner: Other than the whole... being the walking undead thing
Mkvenner: Aside from that, you're doing well

Victor: Yeah...that thing.

Kenlie growled.

Victor: Just wanna be able to remove a situation before **** gets out of hand.

Kenlie: That won't be happening again.

Victor: Says you...you're capable. A man has to have his dignity, monster. I need to be able to do so as well.

Dominique chuckles.
Dominique: We are all walking dead.

Kenlie: You're plenty capable... just haven't seen it yet.

Kleo appeared
Kleo: Hey y'all

Mkvenner: Evening Kleo. We were just talking through how tomorrow's going to go down

Kenlie: Oh? How's it gonna go down?

Mkvenner: About the same as it has been so far, really. Us staff taking care of business and making sure nothing gets out of hands
Mkvenner: or hand
Mkvenner: Whatever

Kleo: Great, and if it does, I'll uh...do what I've got to to help get it under control again

Mkvenner: That's the spirit, right there

Kenlie: Hey, Kleo.
Kenlie: And... you mean the day after tomorrow.
Kenlie: Right?

Kleo would be willing to kick some ***, but didn't say that aloud
Kleo: Hey there Kenny

[Kenlie (DELETED 4989)]

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--

Victor bumped Kleo.

Kleo pretended to lose her footing
Kleo: Ahh! >.>

Mkvenner: Vic, how could you

Kleo cackled
Kleo: Yes, how could you?!

Victor grunted and shrugged. "I'm heartless. Women..so weak." Poked at Kleo's ***. "It was probably this catching her off balance."

Kleo: ...WEAK?

Kenlie: ...
Kenlie pressed her lips together.

Mkvenner: Mistake, lad.

Victor grinned.

Kenlie slid down from the counter.

Victor: Yeah...I'm surrounded by women that could easily beat the **** out of me.

Kenlie pushed the sleeves of her shirt up.

Kleo swatted at his hand. "I'm ticklish..."
Kleo: I could whip your ***, true

Victor looked at Kenlie. "Oh ****..."

Kenlie wrapped her arms around Vic's waist and hauled him over her shoulder.

Kleo snorted

Mkvenner: Told you.

Kleo: Time for spankins

Kenlie: Yep.
Kenlie: Everyone gets five in!

Kleo: Can I have 8?

Kenlie: Go for it.

Kleo: That's my favorite number

Victor blinked and flailed. "Hey! I swear woman..I will hide your pink shoes so you'll never find them again."

Kenlie: ...
Kenlie: You will not!

Mkvenner: Mistake numero dos

Kleo gave a half hearted thwack to Vic's ***

Kenlie: Eight bare assed spankings.

Victor slapped Kenlie's *** from upside down. "I mean it!...AH!"

Kleo: Take it!

Victor: No bare *** until you wine and dine me.

Kleo: I've given you wine
Kleo: Or somethin like it

Victor: Whining is not the same thing.

Kleo: You must really want that *** beat
Kleo | wouldn't blame you

Kenlie: Kleo.

Kleo: I don't whine...

Kenlie: Wanna open up the freezer for me?
Kenlie: Back there.

Kleo: Is he goin in there?

Victor: Don't make me perv this up. I swear..pink shoes gone and I'm smoking a cigarette while you guys ice your hands.

Kleo: Ice my hands?
Kleo: They're already cold...

Kenlie: Yep!

Kleo stared at her tatted palms

Victor continued just grabbing Kenlie's *** and glaring at Kleo

Kleo blew Vic a kiss

Victor: Put me down, zombie...

Kleo: Why you cuttin' them eyes at me darlin?

Kleo tried very hard to look sweet. Demure, even

Kenlie: Fiiine.
Kenlie sat him back down.
Kenlie fixed his cut >.>

Victor smirked and reversed them, grabbing Kleo as well over the other shoulder.

Kenlie: ***!

Kleo: *** *** ***

Victor hauled them both to the freezer, laughing the whole way.

Kleo didn't mind the postural change at all
Kleo: Hey now!

Victor: Karma, women.

Kleo: You wouldn't dare
Kleo: Nobody puts Kleo in the freezer >.>

Victor: I'm the heartless ******** with the very deep grave.

Kenlie punched one of his asscheeks.

Kleo clawed at Vic's back

Victor tossed them in the freezer and checked out, hiding behind the bar.

Kleo: VEN

Victor cackled.

Mkvenner: It's a door. I'm sure you can negotiate your way out
Mkvenner chuckles

Kleo: I'm a weak woman!
Kleo exaggerated

Kenlie: I got this.

Victor snorted and offered Ven a cigar. "It just got quieter in here, right?"

Kleo: Save me, Kenny >.>

Mkvenner: There's a... thing... inside so people can't get locked in
Mkvenner takes it, lights up. "Give it a minute"

Kenlie pulled a hairpin from her bandanna and started picking the lock from the inside.
Kenlie: ... Oh.

Victor smirked behind his face fur and puffed on his stogie.

Kleo: **** that
Kleo shoved the door open

Kenlie gave the door a good, strong kick.
Kenlie | Door went FWOOM.

Victor: I'm not paying for that...

Kenlie | TEAMWORK.

[Mkvenner]

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--


Kleo burst out like a genie in a bottle
Kleo wanted to be rubbed the right way
Kleo: Vic....tor

Victor looked up as the women returned. "Yes?"

Kleo: You owe me $500,000
Kleo: For my pains and suffering...

Victor: I'll give you some pains and suffering.
Victor just looked at her.

Kleo stared back, non-blinking

Kenlie fixed her hair back into place as she walked out and glared at Vic.

Victor grinned at them both.

Kleo: Will I still get the five hundred thou after?

Victor: Pfft.

Kleo was persistent

Kenlie: Kleo... >.>
Kenlie: We aren't... strumpets.

Kleo: Wi?
Kleo: The **** is a strumpet?

Victor: You'd have to give it to Ven afterwards...to pay for that door.

Kleo: You callin me a whore?!

Kenlie: I'm doing the opposite!

Kleo: Oh yes. I'm a classy lady
Kleo: I cross my legs...or whatever classy people do

Kenlie: I don't wear dresses.
Kenlie: So I don't.
Kenlie: ... But I have to tonight, I guess...
Kenlie: Scully wore those pencil skirts and ****.

Kleo: I wear dresses on special occasions

Kenlie: Or dress pants..

Victor: You have to wear the giant shoulder pads.

Kleo: I need an outfit...
Kleo: Costume...whichever. Guess it's time for me to think

Victor: You bringing anyone?

Kleo: Ummm...hadn't planned on it. You know me. Anti-social.

Victor: Get on that ****, woman.

Kleo: Might try though, I dunno. I'm usually a solo bird

Victor: Unacceptable.

Kleo: Bite me

Victor smirked.

Kleo: I need to make sure my costume is on point before I go bringin someone

Victor tapped his cigar over the ashtray.

Kleo: Do I gotta follow a theme?

Victor shrugged. "Ken and I are going as Mulder and Scully. Ven and Dom are going as the Joker and Harley.

Kleo: I don't wanna wear what I wore last week. Though it turned out great...
Kleo: Couples!
Kleo: Well ****.
Kleo: Who the **** do I even associate with

Victor: Oh! Your *** could be in a whole other costume.
Victor moved so as not to get hit.

Mkvenner snorts

Kleo eyed Ven
Kleo took a step toward Vic
Kleo: Maybe I'll be something modest, in that case

Victor grinned.
Victor: That would be scary...

Kleo: I know, right?
Kleo: I'll come up with somethin, single or coupled

Mkvenner: Could be a ghost and just wear a sheet with eyeholes

Kleo: A fitted sheet

Victor: King sized.

Kleo: Are you calling me fat?

Victor: Just your ***.

Kleo stared him down
Kleo: HA!

Victor smiled at her, winking.

Kleo: I really do love costumes though...I'm gonna have to go out tonight
Kleo tried hard to hold her stare...and failed, grinning
Kleo scrolled through her phone, looking at costumes online
Kleo: I'm gonna head out....do some exercises and try to piece together a costume...maybe snag me a date, too
Kleo: I'll see you later, Ven, Kenny
Kleo: Vic, I'll be kickin your *** later

Mkvenner: Laters, Kleo. Have a good one

Kleo smirked

Victor: Yeah yeah...promises.

Kleo: Thank you much
Kleo: You know I keep my promises!

Kenlie: See ya, Kleo.
Kenlie smiled.
Kenlie shoved Vic into a stool and slid into his lap.

Victor grunted, smirked and tugged her close.
Victor: Fuckin zombie..

Kenlie: Yeah, yeah.
Kenlie pushed his hair from his face and kissed his forehead.
Kenlie: Well... we have some costumes to get together.

Mkvenner: Mine's done
Mkvenner beams
Mkvenner I knew these things would come in handy someday

Kenlie: Gives ya character.
Kenlie: Though...
Kenlie: I'm bringing some spray temporary hair dye. Green.
Kenlie: You're welcome.

Mkvenner: Oh dear
