Going to the Bar

Amethyst was the one working today. She was slightly annoyed. She despised Amestris, and here she was, working at a damn Amestrian bar. How ironic! She turned at the sound of a voice asking for a drink. Spoinning around to him in her work uniform, she bent down and picked up the ID. She inspected it intently, but it seemed it was good enough. Besides it wasn't her job to check genuity and why should she care if some Amestrian kid decided to get drunk despite the laws. "What'll it be?" she asked in her cold voice, resting her sapphire eyes on him. The room was hot and she was wearing the basic maid uniform. Oh it was degrading, but she needed the money. Bbesides what was a better way to take down Amestris then observing day to day life? At least that's what she told herself. She commenced washing out a glass as she waited for his response.

Amy sighed. A bossy little prick this one. She turned and poured him a glass, sliding it down the bar "You're lucky, today's Tuesday, first one's on the house." she repeated in her sarcastic tone. She didn't want to be here. She didn't want to be around pricks who had no appreciation for one another. She picked up another glass and tilted it, examining it closely. Did these strange people actually enjoy the taste? How gross! It smelled disgusting enough. Her nose wrinkled briefly before she turned and sat at the bar stool behind the bar, crossing her legs, alm ost annoyed. The boy was the only one sitting at the bar, so she assumed she'd have to pay attention for once, "Anything else, kid?" she asked as she looked interested in a neon sign above the door. Exit.. yes that was it and how sweet and inviting it looked!

Amy sighed and rested her chin in the curve of her palm. "Of course, there are ten other places I can think of that I'd rather be, number on eon the list? Jail." Of course she was trying to be funny and the only way you could tell was the hint of a smile curling at the edge of her lips. She really did hate working the bar, just a day ago a man had grabbed her ass. She was about to punch him but thought better of it. However, sitting here now, made her think back and wish she had done something. She could've been fired. With a doubtful sigh she closed her eyes briefly. Getting in a bar brawl was not a good idea, she'd be a criminal then.. that wouldn't be good. She'd be chased about, with a wanted poster over her head. Well maybe that was overdoing it, but still, she could seriously cause some problems in a bar-brawl. "You? You don't look old enough to drink, to be honest." she purred, amused.

Jayden chuckled quietly. "That would be fun, wouldn't it?" He smiled at the girl and took another long swig of his drink. For some reason, this woman didn't seem too excited about working here. He could see why. Drunk men could be awful perverts, and working conditions for women at bars would obviously be hard, he supposed. He'd drunkenly tried to pick up female bartenders a time or two while drunk at bars, much to Sam's displeasure. For some reason, Sam wasn't as fond of one night stands as Jayden was. Jayden sighed quietly. He would never really understand Sam, always wanting people's approval. What did it matter? Eventually, someone is going to hate you, even if you give them a thousand reasons not to. Might as well sit back and let it happen.Glancing back up at the bartender, he smiled. "Sure I am," He lied smoothly, "You saw the ID, didn't you? I look rather young, I suppose, but I'm really 21." Sam groaned at this reply.

Amethyst arched a brow. He was 21? Doubtful. Shrugging it off though, it wasn't any of her business. If the boy wanted to get drunk and he had the 'legal' id on him, it wasn't her problem. If it was, well then she was in trouble. She grinned in a almost seductive way, "Sure you are kid, just do me a favor and don't get raped on the way out, I rather need my job." Her vopice hinted amusement and as much as she tried, she couldn't hold back the smile in her eyes. She enjoyed the kid's company for sure. Even if he was Amestrian, he was like her in a lot of ways. So this meant she knew the perfect ways to tease him. She rested her sapphires on him again and drummed her nails on the bar. She seemed almost wicked, the way she seemed to play with him and in a way she was trying to get him to leave without getting in trouble. Was it possible she felt affection for the strange, Amestrian boy? She sighed. What have I become. The wings on her back (tattoo) throbbed slightly and she winced. It felt as if God knew where she was. A fallen angel, the pain was grimacing and richocetting through the shoulderblades and the vertebrae of her back.

Jayden smirked. "Please," He said, rolling his eyes, "Rape? It's just free sex." Sam groaned, but Jayden ignored him. He wasn't about to start yelling at himself in the middle of the damn bar. Besides, he didn't hate this girl. He didn't want her to think he was crazy like most other people did. Plus, she knew he wasn't 21 but was selling him beer anyways! If he started talking to himself, she may assume the booze had gotten to his head and refuse to sell him more. That would be a thousand times worse than her knowing he was legally insane! He just couldn't live without his beer, he couldn't. He raised his eyebrows curiously as she winced. "Something wrong?" He asked slowly and rather carefully, since it could possibly lead to an actual conversation rather than the usual shallow chat between a bartender and an alcoholic. He wasn't sure if he wanted that or not.

She ignored his comment on free sex, that was uninteresting to her, besides her shoulderblades were on fire it felt. Amy rested a hand on her shoulder and gritted her teeth, her pink lips pulled into a frown as she swore under her breath. "No.. it's nothing." she said softly. "I pulled something is all." A lie that fell effortlessly from her lips. This happened commonly when she was in Amestris, especially when their were alchemists nearby. The strange style they used activated the rune-like scar on her back and shoulders and boy did it burn like hell. She shook slightly, but poured a glass of water. "Migrane from all the lights too." She responded, not opening her eyes. She knew he couldn't see the marks, but they felt like they were making her glow. How disgusting she felt; her body on fire almost, but she had to endure and ignore. Her eyes went back to the kid before she took a new drink. He probably thought she was crazy. How amusing. She straightened her dress and pulled at the sleeves of her fingerless lace gloves, resing her chin in her palms again. "Just let me know when you want another drink."

Amy groaned and rubbed her back. The wings hurt, like old runes glowing from the powers. She stared at the clock and stabbed her card in. She had to go, she couldn't take this pain. Her eyes were scrunched up in pain. "I'm sorry, I need to go ly down." Where though? Where could she go where she could shower away from the magic circles and strange powers? Her home was far away and where she stayed was a good hour's walk. Sshe slumped against the wall and breathed heavily. "damnnit.." She hadn't had an attack in a while, so why now? Why? Her head pounded like a raging fire and her shoulders and back matched. She let out a staggered breath, trying to calm down, she looked crazy didn't she? But it hurt so damn bad... Her eyes rested on the exit sign. If only she could get out of hear and breathe....

Amy glanced at him briefly, but instead of daggers, she showed thankful gratitude. Her body shuddered slightly as she managed to fight her way through the crowd. At the entrance, she waited for her escort, hand still on her back. She grimaced, feeling the wetness of blood. Panic struck. What's going on here? Pulling her hand before her face, there was none. It was a vision... there would be a battle soon.. blood would be everywhere. With a huff, she leaned against the tree outside, looking as iff someone dislocated her shoulder. Her brow furrowed a frown on her mouth. She needed a change of clothes. As he met her back outside, she managed a weak gruin, "My name is Amethyst by the way. Pleasure to meet you 'Jayden'." She remembered his name from the fake ID whether or not that was his real name, she couldn't know, but still she'd tease him once she was up and running completely again.

Amethyst grinned, "Good to know you're at least not a liar." She groaned and rubbed her shoulders. "I'm sorry about this, I'm empowing you're personal space, but my home is about 20 miles south of the middle of nowhere." Which was true. "I don't have my car heresince a friend drops me off at work everyday. And God it's cold out here." She shivered, wrapping her arms around her bossom and staring at the sky. For an amestrian, this kid was okay and it was odd that Amy was accepting him so easily. She knew the kid had a darker secret, but so did she and she was sure hers was far more scary and dark. The fact she was a cold-blooded murderer and yet a light of retribution at the same time. She used to be far more cold-hearted, but lately it seemed strange, as if she didn't hate as much and she was more fearful. How strange... she stared at the boy a moment, unintentiaonally. What was so special about this boy?

Amy looked over and blinked, "What's wrong, kid?" She winced and fell to her knees. "Da-damnit." She shuddered violently and gripped her shoulders hard. Something strong was around. She huffed and looked at him weakly. "I'm so sorry you have to see this." She struggled to her feet. "I need a shower and to lie down." She sighed. "Are we walking, or what?" Her eyes set on the distance, if they walked it would take a while for sure, but a car would rise suspicion. Way to scew things up Amy. Way to stay incognito! She scoffed and looked at Jayden, her eyes soft again, "Hey yui opkay? You look like you lost a fight with a brick wall, kid." She was concerned for an Amestrian? Oh God was punishing her! That HAD to be it.

Amy felt bad when he snapped at her. He obviously took offense to the affectionate term, 'Kid.' Pausing amoment she shook her head, "Don't worry about me, and I'm sorry I offended you Jayden." She rubbed her shoulder and yawned. "I'm not used to people even acknowledging my existence. Most of my life was spent shadowed by others." She looked off and straightened up, the pain in her shoulde dying down. She smiled. "Well the muscle is relaxing a bit, I have no idea why it attacked me suddenly like that, but I'm good." She laughed lightly, seeming like a completely normal girl. "Nonetheless you still owe me a shower, because you just ran off without paying for your drinks and you know what? That's coming from my paycheck!" She gave a playful wink and laughed lightly. I have no idea what happened, but I feel fine now....

Amy laughed lightly and smiled. "Yeah, a shower sounds good." She ran a hand through her hair and rubbed her shoulder briefly. Whatever had caused her discomfort, was gone now. She blinked a few times then turned to Jayden with a smile, "Well, Casanova, lead the way." Again, teasing him, she had a playful grin and her hand held out, offering it to him. She didn't expect him to take it, but more or less was telling him to get moving. Resting her legs a moment, she examined the sky. It wass getting dark and rain was impending darkly. They'd get drenched.. great. She couldn't help but let out a soft scoff. Great, she was definitely not in the clothes forwalking in the rain. Speaking of which. "Shit." she swore softly, "I forgot my change of clothes." She groaned and turned back. "I've gotta go grab my bag. Stay here?"

Amethyst sighed and laughed, half tempted to pull her hand back last minute, but instead, she let him slap it like a highfive. Shaking her head, she playfully ran a hand through his hair before darting back into the building. She struggled through the crowd before finally grabbing the small sling-over back. Grabbing it, she hurried back out, dodging the groups of dancing people and the new bartender. With a sighh opf relief, she grinned, "Well, I'm ready." She smiled, "Wait long?" Again she was teasing. It was a form of affection she showed. It was som much easier to do. Her blue eyes sparked amusement as she surveyed him. He seemed worried about something. However, she didn't ask about it. Just as she stood on the sidewalk, it began to trickle slowly, beginning to drip down slowly. Amy blinked and looked up with a frown. And here comes the rain....
