Please let [me] worry about [me]

33; All I want is to have my peace of mind.

2008-03-28T01:42:23Z

Akula, I need to talk to you.

Gunfire and soldiers patrolling around day in and day out... how's anyone supposed to get any rest? ~~I really wish we would just refuse service, but I don't want to cause any more trouble...~~ I hope this ends peacefully.

~~Erika, Kage, I won't forgive you two if either of you get caught.~~

32; Complicate this world you wrapped for me/ I'm acquainted with your suffering

2008-03-04T06:01:21Z

...Oh no...

31; Someone like you could be with someone like me

2008-02-15T00:22:02Z

Akula, Sam, I left you both some chocolate in your respective rooms. I hope you like them. There's a card too. ♥ Happy Valentine's Day, you two. And Sam, thank you very much for the flowers. They're lovely.

I hope everyone else is having a good day! Give your loved one a hug. ♥

Erika, Kage, I hope you two are doing well too.

....

I want my own momonga now.

30; Work it harder, make it better

-Notice to the general public-

With our new stage ~~finally cleared off and set up~~ in place, we'll be hosting open mic nights every Tuesday and Thursday and performances from local groups every Friday and Saturday. If you are interested in performing, please email me and we'll set up an audition.

Open mic nights will begin next Tuesday and drinks will be half off after 9 PM.

Also please remember to check for all of your belongings before leaving the bar. There have been several coats, purses, wallets, and other items left over the ~~months~~ past few weeks. We will attempt to contact you when possible. Otherwise, all items will be kept for a week before ~~we keep the items we like~~ they are donated.

February already? Time moves quickly these days. Though hmm, between the new workers and Akula taking over as a bartender, I have more free time now. I think it's time I pick up a hobby. Something productive. Maybe knitting. I could always use more scarves.

Though it does feel odd to have days where I don't have to work.

((ooc: Strikeouts so not there.))

29; It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

2008-01-14T02:26:50Z

-Message to Akula and Sam-

I think now that we're into another year we should sit down and discuss things. And I think it's time you two got a raise. ♥

Let me know when will work the best.

-Private message to Akula-

Can you pick up some chips and soda from the store and keep an eye on Sam?

28; What are you doing New Year's Eve?

2007-12-27T05:42:12Z

Merry Christmas everyone! Or day after at least. Thank you to everyone who attended the party, I hope you all enjoyed yourself! There's plenty of leftover cookies and egg nog if anyone wants some. Hope you all come back for our New Year's and Bar Solana's one-year anniversary!

Akula, Sam, thank you for helping me get everything set up. And taken back down. And I hope you two enjoyed your presents. That goes to everyone else too!

Though I can't believe a year has (almost) gone by. Where does the time go? So much has happened to. But it's been a good one. I think in the end, I wouldn't have it any other way. :)

27; Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?

2007-12-02T04:57:34Z

Almost a year now. But it's been a good one. And so many things to celebrate too... Christmas, the New Year, ... the reopening of Bar Solana...

WELL! No time to waste! Sam, Akula, you two get to help me decorate. I'm thinking nice winter colors. Also some holiday themed drinks. What do you two think?

26; This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.

2007-11-02T05:56:50Z

Thank you everyone for coming! I'm glad all of you had fun! Maybe we should do it again sometime, just for the sake of it. Costume parties are fun after all. ♥

Though I don't think I'll ever get glitter out of my hair.

But thank you all again!

And Akula, Sam, you two make wonderful familiars. ♥♥

~~Mister Raaz has a very nice body.~~

25; With disappearing clouds the sun arrives within a mile of home

2007-10-21T18:42:14Z

Mister Raaz, Ms. Farinox (or should I be calling your Mrs. Raaz now?), I know I've already said everything at the ceremony, but I hope the both of you have many happy years ahead.

And the bouquet is still looking beautiful. I'll dry it out so it'll last forever.

...Halloween is next week. I think a party is in order. Akula, Sam, both of you are helping out. :)

24; Let's see how far we've come

2007-10-02T01:02:26Z

...You.

...

...

Thank you.

23; Today is gonna be the day

2007-09-06T03:02:25Z

However, Bar Solana will be opening this weekend! All drinks will be half off after 9 PM. We hope to see you there. ♥

Sam, after talking things over, we've decided you're hired at Bar Solana. Welcome aboard! I just need to know your shirt size so I can order an uniform for you (or you can come by and try them on yourself) and for you to fill out some forms. Also, do you have a place to stay?

But welcome to the staff of Bar Solana. ♥

22; I've been too long I'm glad to be back

2007-08-30T06:20:50Z

We apologize for the long closure, but Bar Solana will be opening next week. Thank you for patience, we hope to see you again~ ♥

21; Disappear by train, cut my signal chain // Find a stable world and fill it up again

2007-08-09T03:44:51Z

I'm going over to Mister Raaz's Ametition estate for a vacation of shorts. I'll be taking Akula. I think the relaxing environment will be good for him. The bar will be locked up, but let me know if anything happens to it? Not that either of you need to watch over it or anything, but if something does happen in the area... let me know.

Thank you.

Akula-

Mister Raaz has been kind enough to let me stay at his Ametiton estate for a few days in order to relax. Obviously, since I can't leave you alone with your injuries, you're coming with me. Pack enough clothing for a few days.

-Ginia

2o; And this is why my eyes are closed // It's just as well for all I've seen

2007-08-03T07:49:03Z

I'm sorry to bother, Sir, but may I use your estate in Ametiton to relax? ~~I need to get away.~~

I'm glad all of this is over. Such a horrible month to live through for everyone...

19; I'd be right if I said // You're not my biggest regret

2007-07-13T05:20:41Z

Akula... I hope you're all right. Erika... she told me about your injuries. I just...

I can't see you anymore. And sometimes it feels like you never existed, but then I walk into your room and I know you're real. But I can't see you.

You're not a monster, but my mind is telling me otherwise.

I cleaned your room. I hope you don't mind. I didn't really touch anything; just dusted everything off and changed your bedsheets. And the bar is clean and already set up, so you don't have to do anything when you come home.

All you have to do is come home now.

...Akula...

...I'm getting worried about Akula. Things have quieted down a little, but still.

When can we begin to look for him?

We apologize, but Bar Solana will be closed for an indefinite amount of time. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

18; Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep // Disorder, disorder, disorder.

2007-06-22T05:57:51Z

...I knew them.Not personally, but they came by the bar. They were nice to me. They used to laugh. They were... they were... ~~they used to be alive~~.

Bar Solana will be operating from 6 PM to 12 AM on weekdays, and 5 PM to 1 AM. I We apologize for the change in hours, but in light of current events, it is for the best.

Akula? Where are you? You should be home now.

Please don't be a body on the news. PLEASE.

17; Time passes and it tells us what we're left with

2007-06-10T05:09:24Z

Almost summer? I think this calls for some changes. From now until the end of summer ~~or whenever I decide to change the hours again~~ Bar Solana will be open for two additional hours, so drop on by for some drinks~

...It's lonely around here.

Akula, I hope you're okay...

16; There's things I'd like to do that you don't believe in

2007-05-25T03:51:17Z

...Akula? I'm going on a trip this weekend. I'll be back Sunday evening. I know it's our busiest time, but you can leave the bar closed. It wouldn't be fair to make you work alone.

I'll be waiting outside with my suitcase tomorrow morning.

The weather these days has been absoutely gorgeous. I love it. Maybe it's time I go to the coast.

...Yeah. I think I will.

15; Here we go, life's waiting to begin.

2007-05-13T22:55:10Z

Sure, dinner sounds nice.

That was a really nice concert. I'm glad I went.

...I love you, Momma. ~~I'll visit you later today.~~

14; All roads lead to home

2007-04-30T00:49:02Z

... Well, that was a nice vacation. Much longer than I expected, but very nice all the same.

... It's so dusty around here.

But, well! No sense in delaying things now. I'll need a day to get everything back in order, but I should have the bar up and running in no time at all. It'll be nice to be working again, as odd as that sounds.

13; I'm tripping on words, you got my head spinning

2007-04-13T08:00:12Z

... That was my first kiss. My very first kiss.

....... It wasn't bad.

Akula? Would you like to go on vacation for a few days?

12; Adding up the checkmarks

2007-03-30T06:31:29Z

Dear Mister Derrick Raaz,

Forgive me for the informality, but I couldn't think of any other way to contact you.

While I understand you are a busy person, I was wondering if it would be possible for myself and my ~~brother~~ ~~companion~~ friend, Akula, to be able to visit you? Akula works with me at Bar Solana, and he's been a little stressed lately, and I thought a chance for him to visit you, seeing as you were once his mentor, would be a nice change.

And I'm sorry if this request sounds very forward, but... I'm worried about him.

And I'm sorry to ask so much, but could you tell Miss Farinox hello? She was friends with my sister.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Auberginia Solana

1o; Life is not what I thought it was// Twenty-four hours ago

2007-03-21T05:39:04Z

Why? WHY? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? Just...

I'm so tired of this fighting. Of everything. Of living in fear, of slavers, of being seen as a slaver, of, of...

I'm so tired.

I never asked for this. I didn't want this at all.

I'm sorry everyone, but Bar Solana will be closed for a few days for maintenance. We hope to be up and running as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding! ♥

((OOC: Mood reads as calm, icon appears as her default icon))

o9; You realize that some times you're just not okay

2007-02-17T05:07:15Z

... I'm sorry. That was wrong of me to accuse you without any proof.

Thanks for taking care of me, though you shouldn't have had to.

Seems like things have calmed down a little. It's always nice.

Wonder what everyone else has been up to?
