Utopia II discussion

~rp area~

Tara leaned across the wooden bar. It was empty to night and the sparse tables made her wonder what the point was. She poured herself a whiskey double and necked it. She heard the swing of the bar door as the large shape that was Ghost padded through. She scratched him behind the ears and sighed.

((Yeah sure :) ))

( okay )

(No problem :) )
Tara smiled at the newcomer. There was indeed no drunken men. One man in his 60's was leaning morosely over an untouched whiskey in the corner but apart from that the bar was empty. "Hello" Tara said, her words expressing gratitude at her presence "what can I get you?"

Ellen looked at Beatriz and then leant over the bar, leaning on her elbows "I tell you what, you come sit here, order a drink, and I'll pop out back and see if I can dig up this jacket. When I get back, you can tell me what's bothering you're pretty little head." She said with a promiscuous twinkle in her eye "now what'll be?"

(Haha woops, different roleplay character)
Tara smiled seeing her flushing, looking down at Ghost she said "yes, big lad isn't he?" She stroked him "he keeps away the drunkards" she said with a wink

Ghost licked Beatriz and nudged her happily "he likes you" Tara said "cats are okay, dogs are better" she smirked "now about that drink? You are in a bar after all"

Tara smiled at her confession "I do have non alcoholic drinks... But I'm not the strictest of bar owners" she said with a wink

"I'll hold you to that" Tara bent down and began to rummage around. Not finding what she wanted she turned around and stretched up to reach some higher cabinets. Her short top rode up and revealed her lower back and her waistline. "Ah!" She said, coming down and placing a can of Lemon & Lime soda in front of Beatriz. She reached down and got a glass from the shelf and put some ice in it. She half filled it from the can and then slid it to Beatriz. "For you, my lady" she said with a twinkle in her eye. As she passed it to Beatriz, their fingers brushed and Tara blushed. "I'll go seek out that jacket" she said, turning and going into the adjoining house.

Ghost looked up at Beatriz and nudged into her thigh. After a moment, Tara re entered carrying a brown jacket and a necklace with a small wooden cross on it "is this the jacket?" She asked "also this?" She held up the cross "It was with the lost property I got from last night.."

Ellen looked both ways and then slid the necklace across the Beatriz. "No one will miss it" she said. She bent and poured herself a double vodka shot. She tipped her head back and downed it. "Now, tell me all of these troubles" she whispered

Tara blushed "Tara! Sorry, I thought that was erm... Obvious. And you are sorry? And yes, parents are funny ones!" She chuckled "you take care of your family?" She asked, sincerely touched

(Just going to presume she said her name was Beatriz haha)
Saddened by what Beatriz said, Tara put her hand on Beatriz's and gave it a squeeze without thinking. She suddenly realised what she was doing and quickly pulled away as if to wash a cup "my home life?" She stuttered "you're looking at it! Me, Ghost and this bar is all that's left"

Tara looked at Beatriz, at her eyes, beautiful eyes. She felt she could stare into them for hours... But that would be creepy so she soon stopped. She blushed again at letting her thoughts run away. "Ghost is my American White Shepard you seem to have grown fond of! And I mean what I said, we have no family, it's just me and Ghost. This bar is my livelihood, through that door is my 1 bedroom flat. That's my home life!" She said, rather unphased

Tara reached over and held Beatriz's hand in her own "Thank you." She said, looking into her eyes "it's not been easy, but we're though the worst of it.. But come! I'm not being a very good barmaid am I!" She cried "here" she poured Beatriz another drink and herself a whiskey. "Tell me about the gorgeous boyfriend you're sure to have, bound to be taking you out for dinner each night before taking you home and making rampant love to you" she said, happily changing the subject, her voice full of mirth and promiscuity

Tara joined in the laughter and giggled all the harder to see the old man disgruntled. "A hit catch like you? I will not believe it!" She said, playing. "Love is for times of peace and calm you're right... Not for now" she said, suddenly turning rather morose. After a silence she but her lip and turned to Beatriz "you really are quite beautiful you know?" She said to the girl. What was she doing? The drink was affecting her and and blushed, turning away to pour herself another whiskey.

Tara let out a shy laugh "one or two yes" she admitted "but it's not really the boys that I'm interested in..." She said, letting it trail off

"Woah hey, you okay?" Tara said concerned. Once she made sure she was she quickly tried to make the best of the situation "I just mean you know.. Oh god" she failed and laughed loudly "I don't mean to come on to you" she said, turning beet red "you're just very attractive, don't take it personally" she said, with a smile, regaining her confidence. "You know, my mother had a friend like you, into all the crosses and things. She was a good woman... She gave me that necklace long ago" she said, pointing to the one Beatriz was wearing "I lied earlier, it wasn't lost property, I just never liked it and you know, it kind of looked liked something you might like..." She laughed nervously

(Haha sorry myself, had to do sleeping)
Tara froze, eyes wide "... Shit." Quick as a flashe she was around the bar and kneeling by the body "Beatriz?! Can you hear me? Wake up now! Crap, come on Beatriz" Tara felt her pulse and her forehead and kept getting more worried

Tara heard what she was saying and leapt across the floor to grab her bag. She tore it open and inside she found...

(Insulin injection I'm thinking?)

(Woops sorry!)
Tara pulled out the injection lid off with her teeth and flawlessly jabbed it into Beatriz's (stomach I think it is??). She dropped the used injection and held Beatriz's hand with one of her own, the other she used to cup her cheek "please please be okay!"

Tara was on the edge of sobbing as Beatriz came around when she opened her eyes and sat she pulled her into a tight embrace "oh my friend, never has anyone done that in my bar before!" The old man in the corner had looked up during, but had since turned back to his drink.

Tara was still very worried but she calmed down for Beatriz's sake "don't be silly! Here, have some more soda, it'll help" she said passing her the glass "don't worry, I'm here"

(Seriously my customers are rotten)

Tara laughed "oh good I'm glad! Yes, I'm glad I didn't mix it up with my glucagon injection" she said, sticking her tongue out. Anyway, will you, sit down? Or come take a comfy chair in my back room?

Tara laughed "okay soldier lets go" she put her arm around Beatriz and helped carry her towards the bar door "Ghost keep the bar and bark if someone comes in" she pushed open the door and led Beatriz into the adjoining house. The room was a small stairwell, another door leading off it, and some stairs going up. It was dingy. "Through here" they went through the door and into the sitting room and kitchen. The sitting room was a second hand couch and one plump chair around a fire. An empty doorway led to the small kitchen, white and tiled. Tara sat Beatriz down on the sofa and sat down next to her "how are you feeling?"

"Yeah you're right, you scared away ALL my customers" she said slyly and her, and then they both laughed "don't feel bad, truly, I'm just glad I was there to help you"

Tara's brow furrowed and she shifted her position "what is it?"

Tara's voice was full of sympathy "that's terrible" she said "what do you mean? Is there something else wrong?" She asked, putting her hand on Beatriz's knee

Tara took her hand off Beatriz's knee "a... Glitch...? Are you sure? How do you know?" She asked, not unkindly

Tara leant in closer to Beatriz, she could smell her scent, sweet and homely. "No.. Tell me"

Tara went down on her knees next to Beatriz and put her hand on her chin "I'm real" she said before leaning in and kissing Beatriz full on the lips. It wasn't so much the passion, she just wanted to help this poor girl so much, wanted her to have something less crazy in her head, wanted to shut the voices from her head.. And feel something real. She hoped Beatriz wouldn't hate her too much.

"Shut up, like I care, Ghost is here to protect me" she laughed "I'm not scared easily!" She suddenly looked abashed "I'm sorry for.,, that.... I was just trying to clear your head"

Tara stood up and looked at Beatriz with her large doe eyes "Beatriz... My mother was a glitch, and my father, me and my brother always presumed we'd start to glitch sooner or later..." She looked down ''my parents both died in a house fire while I was... Out... And when I came back the government were there. "There has been a terrible accident Miss Scott" they said "fireplaces should not be left unattended" they said... I believed them, but deep down I knew my father would never be so stupid as to let it burn. Never." She raised her head, proudly "I really like you Beatriz, and I will do all in my power to help you, and the glitches to fight against this purge"

Tara smiled at the compliment. She blinked away tears and moved her head down to touch noses with Beatriz "let me be strong for you then, please" she looked into her eyes

Tara giggled "I was talking about this necklace" she said, holding it in her hand and leaning closer

"It used to be hers.." She liked that kind of thing like you do

Tara merely smiled "where do you work?" She asked

Tara smiled "I might just do that!" Suddenly she blushed and words blurted out "ineedtoseeyouagaincanwepleasegetanicecreamonedayorsomething?" She said them so fast she wasn't sure if Beatriz understood

Tara let out a huge beam of relief "great, good yeah same I've heard it's good too!"

(Oh I know haha. God Tara has such a crush on Beatriz)

Tara suddenly looked very sad "yes yeah, I'll be in that bookshop soon enough! Or well, you know where i am.." She said holding her hand. Ghost came up and nudged into Beatriz's leg

Tara smiled sadly and rubbed Ghost behind the ear "what was that all about lad?" she asked "oh god" she stop up and surveyed the bar, the man in the corner was gone. Another busy night.

((Cuties :) ))
