Third Flower ❀ BBS/Action

[lionesshearted]

I would like to some volunteers in the lounge. While it's not an official job yet that I can pay you for, I'll try and compensate in some way. Rules still apply, and I would ask that only those over the age of twenty-one see me for it.

[Anyone looking for her can find her in the lounge, polishing glasses and tables, generally just keeping it tidy, and chatting with any guests. She's dressed as usual, wearing that smile as she works.]

[What do you do when you're bored? Apparently for Barnaby it's 'answer unusual BBS messages', which is why he's wandering through the lounge, looking out for Raine.]

Excuse me?

[Action]

[lionesshearted]

[Raine will look up from the table she's cleaning.]

May I help you?

[Forever action~]

[itsnotbunny]

I'd hope so - it was you who posted the message looking for volunteers for the lounge, wasn't it?

[lionesshearted]

Oh! Yes, it was. I'm Raine Loire, and it's good to meet you.

[itsnotbunny]

Barnaby Brooks Jr. [Yes, really. 8|] Should I come back when you're less busy?

[lionesshearted]

No, now's fine. It's nice to meet you, Mister Brooks. Do you have any experience with waiting or bartending?

[itsnotbunny]

No, but I've had plenty with organization and responsibility. I'm more than willing to learn the rest, if it keeps me occupied.

[redcinemareel]

Good luck with that.

-Grell ♥

[lionesshearted]

I'm not sure what you mean.

-Raine Loire

[redcinemareel]

Most of us are barely pushing over 21.

I'm sure we don't have an issue with falsifying our personal information to assist you.

[Now that she's finally of age (well, as of mid-December), Sharpay's chillin' in the lounge writing up this quarter's finals. Or, you know, she was, but now she's on a break to check the BBS. Reading Raine's post, she looks up at her.]

I kind of get why the age limit's there, but you're probably really limiting yourself with it. Garden seems to skew young. [Even with the graduation by 26 rule.]

[lionesshearted]

The lounge is meant for older students to have a private place to relax. But maybe it should be lowered a bit...

[Not too much, though, because then it defeats the purpose. Something she will have to think over.]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

I just meant for the volunteer positions. Like, the drinking age back home is twenty-one [it's eighteen here in WR-world, I asked on the FAQ once] but nineteen-year-olds can serve.

[lionesshearted]

Possibly... Honestly, this is something new to me. The pub in Winhill was always quiet so I could always handle it on my own. It's been a learning experience, working here...

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

It's a learning experience for everyone.

[lionesshearted]

I guess it is.

[Tom's not sure how much he'd be able to help out, but he's usually in the Lounge every day after classes end. After a moment, he glances over at Raine in-between sips of beer.]

... Hey, um... I could give you a hand if you wanted.

action

[lionesshearted]

[Luckily, Raine can do some training. So she's relieved at all to get some help.]

Really? ...Thank you, then.

action

[werepanther]

[He gulps the last of his beer, sets it down, and then heads over to where she is.]

I mean, I hang out here all the time. The least I could do is give you a hand every now and then.

action

[lionesshearted]

That's kind of you. Really, it is. I'll have to find a way to pay you.

action

[werepanther]

A couple of extra beers on the house'd work just fine. [Seriously: most of Tom's salary goes towards beer/wine. He'd be grateful if he could get paid in the stuff.] Don't worry about it too much.

action

[lionesshearted]

That might work, then. Or at least a bit of a discount.

[So she nods.]

All right, then.

[espio]

Why 21? You're legally an adult at 18.

[lionesshearted]

The lounge is merely a place where older students can relax. In the future, when I have help, I may lower the age. For now, it is above the drinking age.

-Raine Loire

[espio]

Sounds stupid to me.

[Only because he's 18, of course.]

[lionesshearted]

I'm having trouble keeping up as it is. I wouldn't have been able to handle it had I allowed everyone in at once. Please be patient.

[Squall's known his mother was 'here' for a while now.

It's just that he didn't quite know what to say or how to approach her.

...

He still doesn't actually.

So you'll find him hanging around near the entrance of the lounge.]

[Action]

[lionesshearted]

[Unfortunately, no one has told Raine she even has a son. Oops. So when she leaves for her own break, she's surprised to see someone waiting outside.]

May I help you?

[Action]

[tempest_lion]

Er...

[Squall is very very rarely tongue-tied. He can be blunt to the point of being offensive but generally if he doe say something it's because he means to. Right now, it's like there's a complete disconnect between his brain and his mouth.]

I was passing by and wanted to...

[Action]

[lionesshearted]

Are you here for the job?

[Nope, she really has no idea who he is. But she does find it kind of cute that he seems to be having trouble. Almost like Laguna...]

[Action]

[tempest_lion]

[Squall really has no idea no idea what he's really saying yes to. But he gives a short decisive nod anyway.]

Yes. Something about help for this?

[Action]

[lionesshearted]

First of all, how old are you?

[He needs to be over 18.]

[Action]

[tempest_lion]

[Did the time he spent in time compression count?]

Eighteen.
