glaciers melting in the - - - * * DEAD OF NIGHT[/color][/sup][/font][/right][/size] Elijah, dressed in a black suit and black skinny tie and converse sneakers, moseyed into the Blue Scallop to meet his partner in crime, Lionel Kingsley. The two had been thicker than thieves since Elijah had moved to Scriptor Bay a couple of years ago. Lionel had been the first person to really understand Elijah's mindset at the time, what with Eleanor walking out on him just like his mum had done almost twenty years before. Elijah had needed a friend, and Lionel had been only too happy to oblige. The rest was, as they say, history.
The two gents were meeting tonight for drinks, and because Elijah was big on style and class, they had selected the Scallop as their go-to hangout. The ambience and service were both outstanding, and Elijah had a favorite bar tender there who knew exactly what to bring him every time. Her name was Lacey and she was one of the few women he could actually converse with without breaking out in cold sweats and wanting to punch a baby.
Elijah slid onto a stool at the bar and waited for Lionel to show up. Lacey was, of course, behind the bar, so she came up and greeted Elijah with a smile and a scotch and soda. "This one's on me, Elijah," she said in her southern drawl. "You look like you could use a starter." She winked at him and moved on to her other patrons, and Elijah smiled at her back and raised the short glass in a little toast to her kindness.
Elijah watched the other patrons while he waited. There was a couple at a nearby table who were speaking in hushed tones. Anyone watching might guess that they were whispering sweet nothings to each other, but Elijah, who was very intuitive, knew better: they were negotiating a drug deal, or something equally shady. He was pretty certain it was a drug deal, though.
Another group of people sat at a table behind him, and Elijah could tell simply by the volume of their laughter that they had been drinking for a long while. Lacey would probably cut them off soon, and he didn't blame her.
Elijah checked his watch- it was only just time for Lionel to arrive, as Elijah had gotten there early.

It was an usual day for him at his body shop and tonight was a good night as ever to go for a drink. He wasn't sure about nights that much for the simple fact that he couldn't see as well. But he did make planes with his buddy Elijah for the night. Lionel wasn't that type of guy that would leave a man hanging like that. So before he left he changed his cloths that were dirty with greese and oil to a another teeshirt and hoodie. He washed his hands and made sure he looked clean. Even spray a little body spray on to make sure he didn't smell like car excused either. Slickig his hair back he head locked the place up and headed out for the evening.
He took his car that wasn't brand new but wasnt old either. But a nice decent car, he pulled up to the bar were he promise to meet Elijah. Locking his car he headed into the bar not sure what there night was going to be like. But when he entered the place it was booming and people were singing, dancing, and playing pool. People seem a little blurry because of the lighting but he was able to make out certain people if he squinted enough.
In the distance he saw his buddy Elijah sitting at the bar drinking alone as usual. No tonight he needed a woman even if bit on the ass. After what's her face left him he had been a broken man and totally turned his back on woman all together. Elijah was a good looking man that neededed company of a woman to brighten his spirits even if he didn't want it. When he reached the bar he saw Lacey. Beautiful Lacey he always thought.
"Hey Lacey can you get be a brew please," he stated when he reached the bar. He pulled out a five and when she returned he gave it to her and told her to keep the rest. He took a swig of his beer and placed his hand on the back of Elijah's back and stated, "Hey bro. I hope you haven't been waiting very long?"

glaciers melting in the - - - * * DEAD OF NIGHT[/color][/sup][/font][/right][/size] Elijah grinned as his buddy clapped him on the back, beer in hand and a smile on his face. "Hey Bro. I hope you haven't been waiting very long," Lionel said.
"Not long at all," Elijah said, shaking his best friend's hand in a familiar manner. "Just people watching, like I do." He took a swig of his scotch and soda and sat back down, having risen to greet Lionel.
"How was the shop today? Lots going on? I need to bring my car in at some point- it's making this awful grinding noise when I accelerate. It's driving me crazy more than anything."
Sometimes Elijah wished he had a more hands-on job, like Lionel's, but other days he really enjoyed his work as an administrative assistant. He got to be off his feet during the day, which was nice, because it left him with enough energy in the evenings to go out and enjoy himself. Not that he went out much, unless he was going with Lionel. Elijah wasn't exactly a social butterfly.
Elijah gestured with his drink toward Lacey. "You gonna talk to her tonight? I still say you need to ask her out. She's as close to a good woman as you can find, I think." Elijah, though he didn't date himself, would happily egg his friend on. Lionel was a flirt, and they both knew it. "Come on, ask the lady for a date," he urged.

"How was the shop today? Lots going on? I need to bring my car in at some point- it's making this awful grinding noise when I accelerate. It's driving me crazy more than anything."
Taking another swig of his beer he nodded his head before he replied, "It was good. Business is good as usual. You know the same old stuff just a different day." Then he heard about his troubles with his car and he soon finished, "Yeah bring her by and I'll see what I can do for you. Tomarrow any time would be fine."
Then he took another swig of beer and he listen as Elijah tried to set him up with Lacey. Soon Lionel shook his head and stated, "No Lacey isn't that into me. I know strange right. Good woman that she is I think you should do that honors. When was the last time your courted a woman?" He knew the anwser to his own question and he knew Lacey had the hots for Elijah even if he was blind to the fact of it.
He found is amusing that Elijah would pin her off on him. As if he knew what woman wanted and who they liked. But he couldn't help but find it cute and sadly he had more of an edge on him then what his bud thought.
