A Night a Finnegan’s(Open)

So far it had been a slow night the bar of the authentic Irish pub that Casey worked at. If any of his family and friends saw this place they would laugh their arses off but they were paying him extra to work here just because he had a real Irish accent.

He was hoping that the action would pick up here so he could get more tips and there was not much more cleaning and restocking he could do. Still the night was young and business could definitely still pick up.

Despite his favoring his mother's coloring, Jack's blood ran 50/50 with the Murdock Irish edging out the Natchios Greek on a cold day like today with a few hours to kill with a sketch pad. He wasn't much of a drinker, not with his enhanced senses. It had to be the good stuff and he was on a limited budget to enjoy it often.

Today he made the exception. He was still enjoying the thrill of winning the design contest and treating himself to a Guinness. The pub was fascinating to his artist's eye. He sat at the bar and idly sketched the architectural details.

	Casey was wiping down the bar again when the bar doors opened and a new customer came in and sat down at the bar. Walking over towards the new customer with the drawing pad Casey asked him, “Hello, is there anything I can get for ya?” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack looked away from the beams overhead to focus on the bartender. "Hi. Guinness will do it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Right, one Guinness coming right up,” says Casey as he goes to grab a bottle from under the bar. Bringing over the bottle and a glass Casey asks “Admiring the architecture are ya?” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's what I do," Jack said with a chuckle. "Places like this should be admired, as much for builders as the stout." He put his pencil down and reached into his pocket for his wallet to show his ID. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bornlucky 2010-01-27 12:42 am UTC (link)
	Casey puts the bottle and the glass down to check the ID and as he does so says, “The stouts grand but this place is a fake as Joan Rivers.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You have to look at Joan's bone structure to really appreciate her. Structure is where the true beauty is." He opened flipped through a few pages to show sketches from one of his favorite subjects, the brownstones in the Village. "They last because they're well built. It's up to us to do justice to the bones." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Casey gave a small smirk saying looking at the very well drawn buildings, “That’s very wise statement, but what I was says was you’d never find a pub in Ireland that looks like this, but rather it’s an American vision of what an Irish pub should look like. Put silk on a goat and it is still a goat.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"As my mother is fond of saying, you have to 'repackage' things for the Americans to make them think it's authentic." He closed the sketchpad and reached for the bottle and glass. "Then you're not someone the owner is paying to affect an accent?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bornlucky 2010-01-27 01:48 am UTC (link)
	“No just getting paid a bit extra because I already have it. But I think that any culture gets repackaged when you send it out of its native land,” says Casey reflecting and what was just said. “I take then your ma’s not form the states then.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Greece, but ouzo isn't as good as stout." He raised the glass in salute before taking a drink. "How do you like New York?" He picked up his pencil again and began sketching on the paper napkin sitting in front of him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bornlucky 2010-01-27 02:09 am UTC (link)
	“It’s different, New York kinda reminds me of a much bigger Dublin and the people here aren’t anywhere near at friendly as the people at home,” says Casey contemplatingly, “and personally I like the whiskey better than the stout.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-01-27 02:21 am UTC (link)
	Jack only smiled at that. He couldn't drink whiskey, not when he could taste every single flavor that was supposed to blend and didn't on his taste buds. He couldn't drink American beer either. "I know what you mean about the people. I've met some nice ones, but the city isn't anywhere near as friendly as San Francisco." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bornlucky 2010-01-27 02:43 am UTC (link)
	“I’ve met some nice people to but I haven’t spent much time here out of the city so I can’t say too much about how nice people are around the country. But I suppose my view are colored by the village I’m from,” says Casey. He was almost daydreaming about home again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2010-01-27 04:04 am UTC (link)
	"Well yes, a village." Jack grinned. "Cities are a bad place to find a village, no matter what the government says. But add me to the list. I'm Jack Murdock." He held out a hand to shake. Knowing a bartender could come in handy later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Marcia is arguing on her cell phone in the door way before she comes in. Her pitch is up in the highly passionate yet thoroughly annoyed spectrum. The social worker wasn't the type to grab a drink at one of the ultra fake looking 'Irish' bars but after a long day of people who were so thick headed she needed something different and this was what she had found.

So she flipped her phone shut and swore she would try to go a few more days before she had to replace this latest phone. She moves through the bar and grabs a seat and takes a look at the labels they have. She might just go for whatever is on tap.

	Seeing that he had a new customer sitting at the bar Casey starts making his way over towards her. “Hello is there anything I can get for ya,” Casey asks as he gets closer to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She peers at him from under her hair. Then she reaches up to smooth it back and us very purposely watching his body language. "What do you guys carry on tap?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Em, let’s see we have Guinness, Heineken, Harp Lager, Budweiser and Bud Lite on tap,” says Casey with a smile, “Do you need time to think or do you know what ya want?” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll go with the Harp Larger." She's quick when she decides on something. And she really doesn't want to wait around either. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Right, one Harp Lager coming right up,” says Casey who grabs a glass and fills it up with the order at the tap. “Here ya go,” says Casey as he brings the filled glass to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	needsmorecoffee 2010-01-28 07:22 pm UTC (link)
	She smiles at him and accepts the glass taking a moment to let the drink settle. She isn't really watching him anymore. She takes a sip and pulls a thick note book that is filled with all of her appointments. She is checking to see what she has to do over the next few days. Looks like she'll be busy.

	Having given her her drink Casey saw that she looked busy and walked away. After she look finish with her notebook he might ask her about how busy she was but for now she looked like she didn’t want to be disturbed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She's taking her time. She is about a quarter of the way into her drink when it goes into her purse. She might be dressed pretty professionally but her purse is a bright vibrate thing that is huge for her it works though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bornlucky 2010-01-29 01:25 am UTC (link)
	Seeing her put the notebook back into her oversized purse Casey walked over to her. “Ya seem really busy got something important going on,” asked Casey as he got closer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not really." She shakes her head. "I'm just busy at work. I'm a social worker so my day gets pretty packed." She has no idea how she fits crime fighting into her day but it happens. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I get mad sometimes," she admits. Then she shakes her head. "I go through four cell phones a month on average." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bornlucky 2010-01-29 02:31 am UTC (link)
	“That sounds a bit expensive four phones a month,” says Casey a little stunned but curious about how she broke them so fast, “but at least you’re not bottling up your anger.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	needsmorecoffee 2010-01-29 02:35 am UTC (link)
	"It's why I go for the cheap ones. It's still bad but not as bad as it could be," she says making a face. Which she really should go easier on her phones but with her mutation it was hard not to kill things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My father used to si... say that it was the husband's duty to make sure their wife gad plenty of shoes," Marica says carefully dancing around the subject of her father being deaf.

	“I suppose it’s a universal trait of fathers to have a saying for every occasion” says Casey assumedly. He da’s sayings always sounded better in Gaeilge but he had not met anyone in the city who spoke it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She could see why it looked like there were a few more women in this bar. His voice was easy on the ears. "Lots of fathers do and our mothers indulge them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“That is also very true,” Casey says, “But relationships are always two way streets.” Casey thinks of the sacrifices that his parents have had to make over the years but he knows that his family has had it easy compared to others. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A wise man," Marcia complements tipping her glass as if saluting him. She wonders if it comes with the job. Everyone tells their woes to whoever is pouring the drinks. Not a problem for her really. She is used to feeling out other people's problems. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bornlucky 2010-02-03 12:55 am UTC (link)
	“Thanks,” said Casey for the compliment and the tip of a glass. “Right, let me know if you need anything else or if you have any questions,” Casey said as he started walking away. (Reply to this)(Parent)
