FoE Tavern #2

[08:32] * Keiru sighs, "I can't leave well enough alone. I'll deal with this, Scrap." She stands and trots over to a booth next to Rough's, and peeks over the edge of the booth.
[08:34] * Aperture_Flash had been getting ready to flip the table, and start shooting, but he relaxed at the last second. this was no Enclave officer. he sighed, relaxing and taking another Swig of whiskey. 'easy aperture' he thought.  "Howdy." he replied. "Oh? do you play?
[08:34] * Rough_Waters still just has her head leaned back, a little smile on her face, completely oblivious to all
[08:34] * Scrap_Metal snorts, and rolls her eyes. "No, that's alright. I didn' need ta know what's goin' on anyways. I like bein' way confused.." She watches to see what Keiru is going to do.
[08:35] <Keiru> "...... Rough?"
[08:35] <Swept_Wing> "Only have been for the last 17 years." He chuckles.
[08:36] * Rough_Waters blinks, opening her eyes and looking to Keiru, smile faltering "O-oh, uhm, hey Keiru"
[08:37] * Aperture_Flash grins softly. "Oh.." he said, half chuckling. "I have only been at it for a year.." he said. that Uniform was still making him nervous. "Names Aperture."
[08:39] * Swept_Wing nods. "Ahh. Heh, just something I picked up to keep myself occupied." He offers his hoof. "Staff Lieutenant Swept_Wing."
[08:40] * Keiru frowns, "Sorry to crash your mood... Just... has Blackout proposed yet?"
[08:41] * Rough_Waters shakes her head, smile gone, replaced by a simple blank face "No, not yet" she doesnt mention what Swept_Wing told her
[08:42] <Keiru> "Okay..."
[08:42] * Keiru slinks back down in the booth, breaking conversation with Rough.
[08:43] * Rough_Waters blinks as Keiru slinks into the booth, just loud enough for her to hear, saying "Y-yeah... okay..."
[08:44] <Keiru> "S-sorry... for everything..."
[08:45] * Aperture_Flash reaches out to shook to stallions hoof. he smiles. "nice to meet ya." he said. just looking at that uniform made the Dashit scars on his flank itch. "Staff Lieutenant for what exactly?" he asked, pouring two shots, one for him and one for Swept_Wing
[08:45] * Rough_Waters sighs quietly "I.... I know..." she says, still talking just loud enough for only Keiru to hear
[08:46] <Swept_Wing> "DCR, or Dead City Rangers. I'm the commander of the Steel Wings, best damn Vertibuck squadron on both sides of the apacolypse."
[08:47] <Keiru> "N-not sure if you can forgive me or not. Even if not, just... I hope you're happy with Blackout..."
[08:48] * Scrap_Metal can't hear anything. She frowns, and watches the two talk about... whatever?
[08:50] * Rough_Waters sighs quietly "I c-can Keiru, but... I w-wont let anything get in our way anymore... if... I... just dont touch me..."
[08:51] <Keiru> "I-I won't... I... can't... there's too much regret there..."
[08:51] * Rough_Waters snorts "What /is/ there?"
[08:52] * Aperture_Flash breaths a deeper sigh of relief. “Oh good.” He grinned. “I am former Enclave, I was reporter, and was just starting my correspondence work when I was….Kicked out for traitorous ideals I think is the way they put it… and your uniform looks pretty similar..” he said, knocking back his shot. “just had to make sure. What Key is your Harp in?”
[08:52] <Keiru> "Just... there. Everywhere, I can barely look at you without feeling it... touching you would just kill me..."
[08:53] * Swept_Wing would also kill Keiru if that happened.
[08:55] * Swept_Wing nods. "No worries, though, I do have a few former Encalve pilots in my squad that I shot down." He chuckles. "Key? Uhh, not sure, actually. I play purely by ear, mind you. Never read a piece of music in my life."
[08:56] * Rough_Waters sighs quietly "So what, Im walking regret?"
[08:57] <Keiru> "No. You're a walking pony. You can't be an emotion. But I feel what I feel. So that's that..."
[08:58] <Rough_Waters> "I meant to you"
[08:59] * Aperture_Flash Laughs lightly. “oh, allrighty then.” He said, before looking at the ponies instrument. It was beaten up for sure. He couldn’t see the key letter though. “I’ll tell ya. Give me a 5 note.”
[08:59] <Keiru> "... that's not so easy. I don't want you to feel like you're anything you don't want to be to me. I just don't want to cause any more trouble."
[09:02] <Rough_Waters> "You didnt answer me"
[09:02] <Keiru> "Because no matter which answer I give, yes or no, you won't like it."
[09:03] <Rough_Waters> "Maybe Im not /asking/ for an answer that I would like" she says, volume increasing
[09:04] <Keiru> "I'd rather give you an answer that you'd like. Even if you aren't asking for it."
[09:05] <Rough_Waters> "I /am/ asking for it"
[09:05] <Rough_Waters> [redact]
[09:05] * Swept_Wing nods, and plays the requested note for Aperture_Flash. His harmonica was keyed in C#.
[09:06] * Rough_Waters rolls her eyes "Why not just tell me, if I wont like either"
[09:07] <Keiru> "Then, yes. I hate it, but to me, you're effectively a large thing of regret, and I don't want that."
[09:07] * Aperture_Flash grins softly. "You are in the Key Of C. Just like me." he grinned, playing that same note. "The more ya know eh?"
[09:08] * Rough_Waters hmphs "Woulda been easier to just be honest with me..."
[09:08] <Keiru> "Then there. I was."
[09:09] * Swept_Wing chuckles, nodding. "I suppose." He twrils his harmonica in his hoof. "You know anything good to play?"
[09:09] * Rough_Waters sighs "Good night Keiru" she says simply, not looking to her, trotting upstairs
[09:10] * Keiru thunks her head on the booth. "Fuck. That went well. I hate myself sometimes."
[09:11] * nomad is now known as nomad_the_tired
[09:11] * Aperture_Flash grins, nodding and starts to play. he was bending his notes plenty giveing http://www.harptabs.com/song.php?ID=9616 more of a blusey tone
[09:13] * Keiru groans again, "Ngh... FUCK!" She stands and trots out of the tavern glumly.
