Nightingale has posed:
     With Nick and Megan on their way out to their respective lives outside the club, and Bean back to work somewhere in the rafters, it's left to Shannon to get back to work. Thankfully, no more customers try to get handsy with her--especially not after having seen Four-Arms escorted so unceremoniously and swiftly out the back door with the rest of the trash. She seems to be less a few flight feathers, but those also seem to be part of her hair ornamentation for the time being. Hey, no littering here!

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie had the night off, and had some things he had to do. He decided to come in and see how things are going. He looks around and heads for the bar, checking to see how it seems to be going.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon nearly runs right into Sam as she's heading to check on customers out on the floor. He gets a goofy grin and a hug from her. "Hey you. Thought you had the night off, don't you ever get a chance to rest?" Her tone is lightly teasing, but also tinged with concern as she peers up at him.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Yea, but I was in town, so figured might as well check in on things and also grab a drink maybe some something to munch out of the office or something"

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon chuckles, and nods. "Well, if it's anything non-boozy I can get ya that. Been wondering, too, if I should run a few more new recipes by the line cook, since those potato skins went over so well. Remember the ones I made for the pool party on one of the first days I moved into the area?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well anything we serve food wise has to small, and not very messy, remember people wearing their party clothes and such." He will walk with her towards the bar "So anything going on tonight?"

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon shakes her head, heading back towards the bar. "Not too terribly much. Had a customer get a little handsy with me but Bean took out the trash." She chuckles lightly and can't help a little bit of a grin. "I'm glad he's on our side."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie 's brow raises a bit and says "How violent was it in here?" He will ask her. He orders a ice tea, and looks to Shannon "Want to take a break and have a seat?

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon smiles and settles down on a stool at the bar. "Guess another root beer float wouldn't hurt me. Good thing I go for morning runs at this rate! And yeah, I hear you. Finger foods. That's why the potato skins worked out so well." She peers up at the rafters and chuckles to herself. "It was surprisingly non-violent, all considered. Bean just had a big, burly, four-armed guy in an arm lock, and escorted him out the back door. No brawl or anything."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods his head a bit to this and says "Ah had wondered if ah needed to make sure he saw Road house, cause oddly enough even Hercules has seen it." He smiles and says "sounds like he learned a nice bit.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon just gets a completely blank look on her face. "Okay. Just what is Road House and why haven't I seen it?" Le gasp! Has she truly not seen something that both Bean and Hercules seem to know about?! The very thought in of itself is sacrilege!

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie sighs and looks at her "Ok, lets start have you seen dirty dancing?" He will ask of another movie, and sips his tea waiting to see her answer.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon just grins from ear to ear, and gives Sam the classic 'Duh' look. "Yeah, seen that one. That's an 80's classic. Wish I had even half the moves they did in that movie. Instead, I have two left feet."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Ok, you have seen it and no you don't seen ya dance." He grins "Well Patrick Swayze plays a bouncer who has to clean up a bar and stop a bad guy who it controlling the town.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon laughs, and just grins right back. "Pfft. You want to talk about me dancing? Big brother, I have seen you dance and holy hell's bells, you have got moves that would put Swayze to shame! You and Alexis both!" She tilts her head and seems to consider the movie as he describes it to her. "Think that one would make good material for movie night?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well, we would have to consider who we let see it, does have boobies and swayze's but. He grins over at her, and says "Might have to talk to someone about it only one boobie scene, but is boobies"

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon laughs and turns a little bit pink. "Well, it can't be quite as bad as 'Best Little Whorehouse In Texas', could it? I mean come on, that one's full of butt and tata shots. But hey..." She grins and sings a few bars. "There's nothin' dirty goin' on!" Yep. She knew at least a few of the classics.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie smiles a bit and says "Well lets be honest movies showing boobies is a different thing for you to see than say Jay or Sam. You know what I mean?

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon shrugs and turns a bit more blushy. "Yeah. Basic biology 101. Enough said." No need to get into detail on the subject matter! "Still, that one's got some classic songs in it, hard to beat the original versions from the movie." She chuckles, and tilts her head. "Maybe I'll have to just get a copy of the movie for myself and see. But yeah, Bean did a pretty good job of protecting my honor."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Good good, and the reference from it, is a bouncer is supposed to be nice till it is time not to be nice." He will tell her "Good to hear he did it without bood spilling least in here

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon smiles rather proudly, her wings ruffling behind her. "Mmhmm. Just had the guy in an arm lock, and tiptoed him out the door. I think that's one customer that won't be back anytime soon."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well hopefully he will be back, but has learned his lesson and will know where his hands belong and where they don't. He will order a combo appatizer platter, and says "So anything else go on tonight?"

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon smiles and nods, slipping a business card from her pocket and offering it to Sam. "Yeah, actually. I was volunteering in the New Hope shelter just before the holidays and there's this pretty damn good musician named Nick that was there. He came by here earlier, and I offered to pass on his business card for him. He wasn't looking for a gig, but I've heard him play. And his piano skills put mine to shame." Nodding towards the card, she adds, "He said something about the folks who handle his gigs might be able to find acts for here, too, if we're in a bind and need someone on short notice."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and says "Well I will call him, and see what will come of it. Alexis plays at one of the local ones as well. So piano still your prefered instrument?

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon nods, and smiles. "Yeah but I wish something more would come of guitar lessons. I guess Alexis is focusing a bit more on Bean for that and that's fine, I can try to learn on my own some. It's all good."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "So, you would rather play the guitar more than the piano in general?"

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon chuckles, and shakes her head. "I'd like to gain equal proficiency. At least I've been building up the calluses on my fingertips for it, but wow, I have got a seriously long way to go skill-wise."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well I am sure if you put the effort in it you will excel you do well when you try something. How did your conversation with bean on your session ?"

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon shrugs. "Hasn't happened yet. Guess he has his own idea on the timing of things. Honestly, though... I have a funny feeling that conversation is going to be a long one so it may be just as well."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "I am pretty sure it is going to come down to him telling you you did well, and you saying no I did not, I could have did this or that"

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon grumbles and nods. "Yeah and the thing is, both of us would be right. So where do you go with a talk like that? Though I think maybe I'm just a bit more right than he is. But yeah... maybe this is a talk for home and not in the middle of the club."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks at her, and says "He is right, you have the right idea, you will always think you can do better and most times yea you can. But you can not obsess on on it. You should always try to do better, but you can't always be I did shitty, i didn't do good. You can do god, and still could have done better.

Nightingale has posed:
"And I can't be blowing smoke up my own behind, either, or letting others blow smoke for me. That's just as bad." Rubbing her temples, Shannon just grins a bit lopsidedly at Sam. "You're as stubborn as a mule. And so am I. You sure I'm not actually a Guthrie and I was switched at birth or something?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie chuckles a bit and says "Perhaps, but you didn't do bad." His phone rings and he looks down "I need to take this kiddo."
