WHO: Gaby + two pests (open to more pests, see notes!)
WHERE: Black Bliss (Gaby's day job)
WHEN: November 21st
WHAT: Gaby's been silent. Loki's a jerkface who stalked her home once, so he's bugging her at work.
NOTES OR WARNINGS: If anyone would like to find Gaby at her day job by chance or because they see her on the streets, hit the mods up on plot engagement so we can arrange a thread or hash out the details! The bar is in the less loved part of New Amsterdam, halfway between the old safehouse and the new on each side. If there's enough interest, we'll put up an open prompt!
[ the sign in the front of Black Bliss is old, a relic of days long past. Gaby's boss insists that it's for irony. so that it stands out. so that people know it's there. as far as she's concerned, something about it doesn't play up. still, it's a bar in the end of the world, and people are messed up. still, they're busy.
of course, Gaby isn't Gaby here. that's a handle. an identity she slides under. her real name is Celine Li – called "Cee" by those who know her. she's not fond of overly long names.
she's in her element as she works. handing out beer. making a cocktail. of course, a time like 2511 doesn't require her to handle cash. it makes all the exchanges a lot easier. it helps her know when someone's money didn't just "disappear" in the EMP. some jackasses have pulled that lately. there's nothing to support it, so out they go.
Gaby spots Jason and Loki as they come in. men of their builds are always spotted. she notes them out of her periphery, turns to grab a beer and then slides over, bending forward like any good barkeep greeting new customers. ]
I'm Cee. I'm holding things down tonight. What brings you here?
[ said casually. but Loki and Jason will undoubtedly notice the tension in her jaw. the rigidity of her shoulders. it's not even just that they're here. it's everything.
but there's no escaping it now, is there? ]

While this doesn't have an underlying effect on us as it may for you, we're still all in this together to some extent.
[ Loki follows up, green eyes half-lidded and looking into his drink. ]
We weren't lying when we said we were concerned. We wanted to lend ... hm, an ear, I suppose?
[ that takes a bit for him to admit, and he sighs and picks up his glass for a drink. ]

( moment of truth over, he slouches back in his chair, purposefully ticks up the gothamite accent, ) An' we're all stuck in this shithole together whether we like it or not. So,
( with a wide gesture, both to loki and gaby. )

[ does she mean the bar or the world? the world is garbage most of the time, but she wants to save it. it's as simple as that. ]
I'm not going anywhere. Not for good.
[ it's the first time she's voiced that. ]
It's not like I can leave you all to ... it.
[ said like she knows that's wrong. like she's more malleable in her thinking than she wants to be. ]
Them.
[ correcting herself. there's a pause before she does, uneasy and unhappy about it all. she rubs her palm against her eye, uneasy. ]

Surprisingly, I'm not all too concerned with that. [ he fiddles with the bottom of his beer, making the beer go swish in the glass. ] If there are any direct nefarious intentions—well, we're already sitting ducks, aren't we? But not just us ...
[ he's implying Morningstar, but he doesn't say it outright, not here. ]
Then we've got a far larger problem on our hands.
[ "our." ]
