BARTENDER - THISTLE

[wooliefrand]

WHO: THISTLE + CUSTOMERS
WHERE: THISTLE BARN
WHEN: BARTENDER GAME

[ Your barn has a new???? (temporary???) addition! One of the outside walls now has a cabinet of various drinks, all of which sits behind what appears to be an L-shaped bar counter, complete with a sink, ice box, and glass cabinet on the inner side, and stools for customers(?) on the outer side.

Posted on the wall is a recipe book, and above it, a big chalkboard listing the various drinks from said recipe book.

Tied to the drinks cabinet are a number of ribbons in your barn's color. Wonder what those are for. ]

So that’s alcohol taken care of, what do we have to do for the other ingredients?

[drifting back to the recipe book]

[survivaltricks]

[reading form the book, tilting it a bit so Yata can see]

For coffee, we have to share a truth or secret. For juice, we share a memory. And for tea, we tie an empathy bond.

[a beat]

Wow, invasive. . .

[pictureimperfect]

…Never mind I’m too young to bartend after all.

[survivaltricks]

[strong drink, strong drink. . .]

What if we give That Guy a really really really black coffee spiked with the strongest liquor we've got? I've got plenty of truths I can confess.

[pictureimperfect]

I like that plan, tell me more of your weak points.

[survivaltricks]

[thinking about the other drinks they need, including Biscuit's macchiato which requires milk, soooo after a moment of quiet contemplation. . .]





I really miss my friends from back home.

[pictureimperfect]

[aw buddy. Pats him on the arm]

Of course you do, you sap.

[survivaltricks]

[a crooked smile]

Yeah. I'm a big sap.

[but that gets them one COFFEE and one MILK, because that truth was full of longing!1 looking at their other orders hm hm what other truths can he confess]

[a truth about conflict for CLUB SODA:]

I've defeated three gods in my lifetime. Each one of them was trying to enslave humanity, so that's why I'm not the biggest fan of supernatural, all-powerful beings. It's also why I believe in everyone's right to choose their own paths for themselves, whether I agree with them or not.

[and a hurtful truth for FRUIT]

. . . I live with my parents back home, but. . . I don't feel like they want me around. So I wish I could move back to Tokyo, where my friends live.

[pictureimperfect]

That’s… a lot.

Er, um, why don’t you move back?

[survivaltricks]

[a small smile, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes]

It's easier said than done.

[. . .]

But when I graduate high school and go to University. . . it'll definitely be in Tokyo.

[pictureimperfect]

[when he graduates… growing up and going to university with his friends and without me- NO DON’T GET JEALOUS]

You all gonna live in the same dorm like a sitcom?

[survivaltricks]

[HE WILL TRY TO TAKE U WITH HIM IF U LET HIM YATA!!]

Absolutely. Our lives will be primetime television.

[pictureimperfect]

I'll have to tune in every week.

[but then his own friends!! What if Minamoto-kun cries again! What if Radish-senpai's life runs out. What if he goes with him and Maid-senpai can't see him anymore. It's too much it's too big to think about it will make him too sad and bitter and he'll start thinking twisted things again]

Senpai show me how to make a macchiato.

[survivaltricks]

[you have SO many feelings Yata]

Are you interested in becoming a barista?

[stepping aside to make room at the counter for Yata. they have enough coffee and milk at this point to make an easy macchiato!!]

[pictureimperfect]

[SHUT UP YOUR FACE HAS FEELINGS]

I wanna try it!

[pouring all the milk straight into the coffee]

[survivaltricks]

[YEAH HIS FACE HAS LOTS OF FEELINGS, HAVEN'T YOU REALIZED THAT YET!!]

-- wait, wait, you gotta foam it up first.

[pictureimperfect]

Foam it? How do you foam it?

[survivaltricks]

By using a milk frother.

[picking up one of these guys and getting to work]

See?

[pictureimperfect]

Ohhhh. That looks easy enough.

[survivaltricks]

Do you want to try?

[holding it out to Yata so he can give MILK FROTHING a go]

[pictureimperfect]

Yeah!

[Takes it and tries to froth up the already milky coffee, he is very vigorous and is going to splash everywhere]

-Oops.

[survivaltricks]

Easy there. The frother does most of the work; you just need to stir it a little bit.

[he seems charmed, but he is grabbing a towel to wipe away the spilled milk]

[pictureimperfect]

Right, easy. Easy...

[frothing slower]

[survivaltricks]

[there we go]

Better.

Once it's all frothed up, then you can pour it on top of the espresso.

[pictureimperfect]

And then I stir it all in?
