Going out for a drink

[Marik]

It was nearly midnight and Marik couldn't sleep...so he walked down to the bar down the street and found himself a seat at one of the tables. Looking around, he saw not one person from the school and it was more depressing to drink alone.

"Heifer!" Marik growled to one of the waitresses walking around the room. "Bring me two pina colatas...and step on it!"

[As to why Marik had decided to order two pina colatas, he had been channel surfing and came across CMT's music video for a song which had lyrics that included "Bring Me Two Pina Colatas." His mind is very easily influenced, after all... ]

Marik then walked over to the jukebox and began flipping through the songs to find one he liked, as he waited impatiently for his drinks. His all black ensemble had seemed to fit his mood quite nicely and it was the one thing he thought he wouldn't be recognized in...

Lunar walked in, half bored out of her mind. She had decided to go chill out at the bar. Not that she was going to drink anything, Lunar didn't drink alcohol. She was just there because it was mainly quiet. She chose a nice, quiet table in the back. The waitress handed her a coke. "Hello, Ms. Shinobi." I glared. "I thought I told you, not to call me Ms. Shinobi." She faltered a bit. "but, um, that's you're name." Lunar took out a thin knife. "I... don't.. .care.." Another waitress came by, shoved the other waitress out of the way, took away the coke, and set down a shirly temple [[cherry syrup, 7 up, and some other stuff. no alcohol]].

"Sorry, Ms. Lunar. she's new." The waitress said. "I could tell. She seems annoying." Lunar said, sipping at her shirly temple. "well, she's flustered. Some other customer called her hiefer and ordered two pina coloadas." The waitress said. Lunar raised her eyebrows. "Really? meh. She does remind me of that one really annoying girl. Whoever said that must be able to read personalities well." The waitress just nodded and scurried away, leaving Lunar to sit there, sipping her Shirly Temple.

Marik had finally found a suitable song for the evening and decided that he was going to get someone else to pay for it. After all, why should HE have to pay for anything? He walked over to a table left unattended with the tip money on it and stole every cent on it. He counted his prize to be a mere four dollars.

"damn cheapskates!" Marik muttered to himself, while sliding two quarters into the jukebox and pressing the button. "This better be a song about what I think it is!"

As Marik sat down at his table and the song 'I've got friends in low places' filled the air, he noticed that someone familiar had settled into a table six feet from him. He was trying to see who it was when the 'heifer' waitress brought him the drinks he ordered.

"Here you go, Mr. Ishtar." The waitress chirped. Marik glared at the waitress and rapidly stood to face her. "Let me tell you something, bitch. No one calls me the same thing they call my pathetic uke-like hikari. I refuse to let you call me anything, except Master Marik, King of the Shadows!" Marik raised his millennium rod and the Eye of Anubis glowed visibly on his forehead as he banished the girl's mind to the shadow realm.

He then looked around at the other waitresses staring at him and growled, "Let that be a lesson to all of you minions. Call me by my title, or end up like your co-worker over here. Got it?" Everyone nodded and quickly got back to the other customers. Marik then picked up his drinks and made his way to the table where the familiar woman was sitting. When he recognized her face, he softened his snarl into a smirk and murmured a low "Hey Lunar."

[lunar]

Lunar smiled. "Hello Marik-sama. Waitress mess up your name too?" She sipped at her Shirley Temple. "I hate new people... They're so annoying." She pushed a chair out with her foot. "Wanna sit?" She said, and continued to sip her drink while listening to the music.

Lunar watched the waitress scurry around. Marik's little speech freaked a lot of them out. Lunar half thought about setting a pack of squirrels loose on the waitress, but then she decided that she didn't feel like hearing a bunch of hyper-sonic screaming.

[Marik]

Marik nodded and sat in the chair across from her. He took a swig of his first drink and looked at the one waiter trying to move the 'new girl' out of the way and back behind the counter. Apparently, they didn't want to discourage anyone from sitting in the same area as Marik and Lunar.

"The mortals today are so predictable." Marik sighed. "I just wish that they'd stop letting the newbies come in without knowing OUR names, you know? I mean, how hard is 'Ms. Lunar' to say?" Then with a chuckle, he commented, "I know that maybe 'Master Marik, King of the Shadows' is slightly hard, but c'mon!"

Marik smirked and waited to see if Lunar would laugh at that too. Then a random thought crossed his mind, "Was it me, or did that waitress look like Anzu?"

[lunar]

Lunar chuckled. "Yes. It's creepy. They're probably related or something" Lunar shuddered. "ugh. Like we need more Anzu's in this world... If anything, we need to downsize on Anzu's." Lunar took a few minutes to imagine various ways to kill Anzu. Guns to the head, mallets to the spine, burning alive... Lunar had a very sadistic edge to her after all. Then she took a sip of her Shirely temple, and looked back to Marik.

"Couldn't sleep either, Marik-sama?" Lunar said. It was common for people with insomnia to come to the bar this late. Either that, or they were drunk and bar hopping.

[Marik]

Marik had to take a moment to think. Why HAD he come to this place again? Then, he remembered.

"I'm an insomniac. I swear that the lines around my eyes are the reason I still wear my eye makeup. If it wasn't for that reason, it was probably because of the fact that the makeup and glowing forehead make the children fear me!"
Then Marik sported one of his trademark evil laughs and made half the crowd back away a great amount. He then decided to tell Lunar about Kasumi's newest way of driving him more insane than he was already.

"Kasumi," he sighed, "has been driving me crazy with this new habit of setting my alarms to go off every time she has a random obsession moment. Like the other night. She had a fit at three in the morning over a lack of sour punch straws!" He growled in anger and took another drink.

[lunar]

Lunar raised her eyebrow. "You have to admit, as stalky-fangirly as she is, she's still an okay psycho." Then Lunar thought about something for a few seconds, smiled and pulled some stuff out. "Here. earplugs, and some special sleeping pills. They'll help you sleep more." She handed them to Marik. " But I suggest either using one or the other. You want to be able to hear if Kasumi crashes into your room."

[Marik]

Marik took the pills from her and tucked the earplugs in his jeans pocket. He noticed the music was about to change, so he got up and quickly made his way to the jukebox. He waited as some man put in his money and then Marik shoved the man aside and pressed another button, which switched the song to "Falling Under" by Evanescence.

He sat back down while ignoring the random man's complaints. He then started to reply to Lunar. "Thanks. Kasumi might do something next time to really tick me off and maybe make me change my locks into laser defense. I think she's alright for a fan girl, but there are times that I wish I had more of a mellow stalker, you know?"

Marik took another swig of his pina colata and looked at Lunar some more. She reminded him, at that moment, of an old classmate from a school he attended two years ago. He heard someone switch the song again to something slower. He had a strange notion to do something really unusual. He outreached his hand and said to Lunar, "So, you wanna dance, or do I have to drag you over to the jukebox to change the song?"

[lunar]

Lunar tilted her head slighty to the side. Marik couldn't be drunk, because he was really weird when he was drunk. As in creepy weird. She placed her hand in his and smiled. "Well, I'm not quite sure. It would be interesting to see you dancing halfway sober." She said with a playful grin. She stood up. "Why don't you decide, Marik-sama?"
