Blessed by the water
Black night, dark sky
The devil’s cry"

Hey, it's not the most typical for a jazz club, but Jo's not getting any serious complaints as she winds down her latest piano piece. All but one or two drunks in a corner who don't seem to like anything that's been played.

	Greg sat at the bar and was enjoying a beer while Jo played. It was a busy night and the place was crowded. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Jo allows herself a break, walking over to join Greg and getting herself a water with lime. "Enjoying yourself, handsome?" She smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Greg gave her a smile. "Always. I have beer and music." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She nudges him, grinning. "Hope I'm living up to expectations. All the jobs I've worked to get through music school, I better be keeping my skills up to spec." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks boss. Let me know if you have any requests." She finishes her drink and heads back towards the piano. "Hey baby! Maybe if you flash some more cleavage it'll make up for how bad your music is!" A slurred response comes from the drunken corner, accompanied by equally slurred laughter.

	"I will," Greg said. He frowned when he heard the drunks in the corner. He would have to keep an close eye on them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jo gives the drunk a forced smile, adjusting her skirt as she settles onto her bench again. "PIANO MAN!" He and his buddies make a demand. Steady on, Joanna. Steady on. She takes a breath and starts on Girl From Ipanema. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Greg stood up and moved closer to the piano and put himself between the drunks and Jo. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes
Goes "A-a-a-h""

She's spot on for each measure and word, smiling as she's clearly enjoying herself, too.

Up until she has to stop playing to catch a glass that comes flying at her, managing to keep it from shattering.

"We want PianoMan!" One of the drunks stands up, irate.

	Greg stood up and walked over to the group of men. "Please leave," he said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jo tries not to stare, but her breath tightens a little bit as she sees Greg coming to the rescue. She keeps singing and playing. "Shut it, yuppie! This is America; we're paying customers!" The lead hooligan reaches for another glass. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm the owner of this place and you're no longer welcome here," he said with a half-growl. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The bitch won't play the song!" One of the other drunks protested. "It's a bar! You're supposed to play Piano Man!" The one who threw the glass starts getting up, lurching towards Greg. Jo's jaw locks as she comes to an instrumental, ready to move from her bench. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Get out!" Greg yelled. He motioned to the two bouncers near the door and stood his ground. He wasn't going to let them reach Jo. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the bartender grab the phone to call the cops. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	One of them stumbles up as well, apparently ready to back up his friend. DUNNNNN An incredibly loud note issues forth from the piano, seeming to rattle bones more than glasses. The man getting to his feet abruptly clocks the lead drunk across the jaw with a mean right. Jo's skin is starting to tighten and pale. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Greg was a little surprised by that, but hey whatever worked. He moved in toward the guy who had hit the lead drunk. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	devilonstrings 2012-04-15 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	"The hell's going on?!" The lead drunk continues being tugged about as if on strings, attacking his table-mates as Jo continues playing. She gives a dry laugh that echoes through the bar. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-04-15 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	Greg reached the guy and threw a round house right. It connected with the guy's jaw and he went stumbling backward. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Between Jo's music and Gregs fists, the men are laid out in short order. Jo manages to stop playing before she transforms any further, waiting at her bench to turn back to normal before she joins him. "How're the knuckles, boss?" She checks his hands over. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Greg shrugged. They hurt a little from the punch and when he looked down at them they were bloodied. "They'll heal. Are you okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	devilonstrings 2012-04-18 09:15 pm UTC (link)
	She rubs her throat nervously, then looks at her hands, then back at the piano. "I'm okay... stupid cabrones can't throw for shit. Just... worried I enjoyed that a little more than I should have." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-04-19 01:23 am UTC (link)
	Greg nodded. "Good." The police arrived and Greg took a few moments to explain what happened. The cops picked up the drunk men and dragged them out. When he was done with the police he grabbed a glass of water from the bar and brought it over to Jo. "Some water," he said. (Reply to this)(Parent)
