SUE: Check Please (Adam and Vanessa)

[Event !]

Adam walks into a bar hoping to shrug off his ill-feelings, but, unfortunately for him, the bartender is in worse condition than he is.

[Deleted]

Adam wasn’t feeling too hot, but then, who would be when they were striking out all night, especially with ill-timed sneezes mussing up his slick-up pick-up lines. The alcohol seemed to be making it better though….or was it making it worse? Adam couldn’t tell, at least he didn’t think he could tell. Didn’t matter, because Adam was going to totally hit a homer at this next place!

The blonde stumbled in, giving a very genial wave to some guy in a ritzy uniform and headed over to the dimly lit bar area. Lucky for him, the hostess was a total hottie so he didn’t have to try very hard to find a good fish to catch. He stroooooode up to the bar counter, using it’s edge to hold himself upright, and managed a lazy kind of smile.

“Hey, there, baby,” he slurred, flashing his pretty teeth. “You mind if I play on your laptop?”

[Vanessa Rodriguez]

Vanessa did not want to be here tonight.

She had tried phoning in sick, insisting that would be gross negligence on her part to show up and serve drinks to people while under the weather. Especially with the painful blisters and sores on her hands, feet and mouth. She was not expecting a good tip turnout tonight.

Behind the bar, the Hispanic girl kept coughing periodically, clutching at her stomach with a groan. The illness that had struck Pilot Ridge hit Vanessa hard. Her coworker had to do everything, as she apologized profusely before running off in fear of throwing up.

Blegh.

Her coworker went on a quick smoke break, leaving Vanessa in the bar by herself. She looked miserable to say the least. Especially when a blonde, already intoxicated, guy sauntered up to the bar and...

What?

"Excuse me?" Vanessa narrowed her eyes, mostly in confusion.
