The Bad Apple ~ A traditional British pub... with a few kinks.

Glances at the tankard.

Well, yea, but....

Blushes.

I don't drink much actually.

Shrugs.

Still not allowed, in the states. So... As you know i'm starvin Marvin... You serve anything delicious in here, sides carrots?

Ah, but you're not in the states now and what happens in The Bad Apple stays here. Drinking age in the UK is 18 anyway. Um... how about chicken wings with fries? I can do a steak and put cheddar on it? :confused:

You wouldn't have a bottle of perry behind the bar? Gotten rather fond of that.

Pops open a bottle of Weston's Perry

Glass and ice?

Glass but no ice, thanks. If it's too cold it doesn't taste of pears anymore.

Mmmm... that's refreshing.

Just popped in because my active threads are on someone else's turn.
 
That would be nice. All my threads are on MY turn right now, hence the note in my sig, but it's late now and I won't write anything worth a damn till I've had a decent night's sleep. I'm jotting a few things in notepad as they occur to me but I'm not going to put together anything decent so there's no point forcing it.
 
I only have three active threads, plus one that might just stutter back into activity. My favourite at the moment is my Viking thread. I do like ones with a historical background.

What about you?
 
I've bitten off a bit more than I can chew lately. I had about half a dozen threads active but previously dormant ones have come to life on me and I like the concepts and writers too much not to start posting on them again. RL is also being difficult as I had expected to get quite a bit done this weekend and then wasn't able to. I know the SRPs are just supposed to be a bit of fun but I don't like leaving people hanging and I haven't been able to get online since last thur. I didn't have any warning of that either, so people have assumed I've gone awol. It'll all come right over the next few days but for now it's more than a little tiresome.

Speaking of tiresome, I'm going to have to toddle off to bed. My herbal Nytol is finally kicking in and I badly need some downtime. Help yourself to drinks and snacks hon :kiss:
 
Thanks, but I'll be logging off and nodding off myself.

Beastie buttons his coat and heads off into the night.

Sorry I missed you, but for what its worth, I wasn't worried. By now I've gotten used to your posting habits, not that mine are much better. If you weren't worth the wait I wouldn't bother.

Hope your absence means that business has picked up!

Hey Master squeezes Litshark impulsively before skittering away warily

Business is doing better thanks but I managed to get away for a few days and leave my minions in charge. I was supposed to be contactable by phone but got no signal where I was so the poor darlings had to manage without me. The place is still standing though, which is cool.

How are you doing? What's happening on the job front?
 
Speaking of sleep... that's something I really need more of at the moment! And I only have the one active thread (with the good sir LitShark, no less).

Tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow.

But sleep first. G'night all.

Runs the back of his hand gently over Vice's cheek before she flees out of reach.

The job is good. They did another BIG luncheon thing for the warehouse workers (300+), and this time got it catered by Panda Express *gag*. It worked out great for me though cause I got to supervise without cooking anything. HA!

Still its long on work and short on appreciation but I'm getting the hang of things and my benefits kick in Feb 1st.

Don't worry flame, as I've mentioned I can barely update anything during the week anyway so get your rest.

Bar-wench, is there any of that buttered rum left?

hastens to pour Litshark a brimming tankard of foaming buttered rum

I always thought this must be where J K Rowling got her idea for butterbeer from. Obviously you can't ply magically gifted minors with booze and not expect the armageddon to ensue but this is always what I imagined it tasted like.

I'm glad you're settling in ok. You definitely sound more upbeat and that can only be a good thing.

lingers shamelessly, leaning over the bar a bit too eagerly but not caring

Night NLF. I'm liking Reflective Inverted btw, will have to follow along.

Sips the hot drink, still maintaining purposeful eye contact with the eager young bartender. He lets out a long warm sigh that smells delightfully of caramel as he sets down his mug.

That's good stuff. Really warms the cockles doesn't it?

Absently takes a lock of vice's hair between his index and middle fingers, slowly trailing his thick, heat worn fingertips down the silky strands until his fingers reach the collar of vice's shirt where they slip gently inside, pulling the fabric down enough for his eyes to greedily look over the merchandise with a distinct air of entitlement.

That's not half bad either. ;)
 
*sends a package to the pub*

Dear Vice,

Awesome post! That's its, have a great one!

The_PG

ps. the soaps good!

*out drops a pink bar of sweet smelling soap*

stands still and compliant, enjoying the feel of his hand on me and the thrill of having him so close. blushes at the compliment, looking far too innocent to be shameless cunt

Thank you Sir.

moves reluctantly out of Master's reach in order to accept the package. smiles at the note and the contents conspiratorially. Tucks the soap away safe behind the bar and returns to Master.

Looks like I'm a popular little bitch today. I murmur, teasing him
 
Thank you, both.

It's been a hard week but I'm pretty much done with the difficult bit so hopefully it'll be a bit calmer for a few weeks.

And I've got to posting too. Hope you enjoy. :)

That said, the only problem with SRP (as opposed to simply writing) is that you really do have to take a pause to offer the scene back to the other person... but I want the rest of the scene right now! (Not chasing, Shark, just eager!)
 
I like the look of this place. The fire is welcoming after the bitterness of the day. I order a pint of London Pride as I wonder whether here would be a good place to write my next Lit story. The shape of the landlady's arse distracts me as I pull out my notebook, but it is a good distraction: one that gives me the idea of quite a different story to the one I was thinking of.
 
brings over a foaming pint of London Pride and looks over fridayam's shoulder casually to glance at his scribbled notes.

I love stories, especially around here and everybody's got one.

What are you planning on writing about?
 
I stride in from the cold and order a large scotch, checking out the barmaid as she moves back behind the bar to pour it.

'Yeah, everyone's got a story. I wonder what yours is.'

I hold her gaze until she breaks it to focus on the scotch bottle and then ensure my fingers brush hers as I take the glass.

'A pub and a shop of horrors, you're quite the entrepreneur.'
 
Well I do my best.

replaces scotch bottle on rear counter before turning back

I think at present, you're the enigma here. What's your story? Are you really a roadie? Are you travelling now?

I take a long pull of the beer and wonder what time she finishes work. A story starts to come into focus: the pub is empty, she is alone, we begin to chat, she ponders closing early. Promising.

Ponders how to react to being deliberately teased and provoked, sipping his drink as his eyes stray to the still unused dungeon on the other side of the bar but realizes that punishment is what she's really trying for and to oblige her would only encourage such behavior. As the drink pulls away from his lips he opens his mouth to make a comment about the soap being a hint about her hygene, but before he can speak the fan club walks in and he finds himself outnumbered and realizes that claims of her popularity were hardly overstated.

Thanks for the drink.

Pays, stands, leaves.
 
Wanders in, clearly already drunk. Stumbling.

What ever happened to that bar bitch? I hope she's okay.

Sits at the bar, waiting. Reaching over to serve himself a bottle of Newcastle.
