tune

(Okay, well I'mma just enact an idea here)

Jessie looks up at the bar; its lights were still on, so they assumed it was still open.

They push open the door.

"Hello?" they call out in their quiet voice.

Oliver looked back when he huard the door shake and the soft 'hello?'
Crap he thought to himself. He could close and leave at 2, but if anyone saw him leave and stopped him, he could turn them away, but did he want to do that? He turned around and looked at the girl. "Hey." he said walking back towards her. "We're closed, but if you want, I could maybe make you something. It is pretty late though." He stopped next to her in front of the door.

(I'm just gonna make a quick post to show where lex is until it's morning for them)

Lex is at home in her bed sleeping soundly she'd gotten out of work pretty late the following day and was exhausted

Jess pauses.

"If you're closing, I don't want to be too much of a burden. I just need something to drink." they reply.

"Oh, Love, you're fine." Oliver said, unlocking the door and turning on the light. He walked behind the counter and thew a towel over his shoulder. "What were you thinking you wanted?" he asked smiling.

"Literally make me something strong enough to knock me out when I drink it." Jess sighs, sliding onto a stool in front of the bar.

"Bad day?" he asked grabbing several different colored bottles from behind him and setting them on his work counter.

"Oh god, you don't know the half of it. . ." Jess huffs.

"'Go a bit higher!' they said. 'A little bit lower!' they amended. 'A little less breathy!' they added." they groan, their voice slipping up and down as required of the impressions.

"So you're a singer?" Oliver asked as he poured the contents of a bright blue bottle into a steaming bowl.

"And a voice actor. Jessie Bardeigh, pleasure to meet you!" Jess says, imitating Alastor from Hazbin Hotel for a moment before eyeing the bowl.

"Any chance that's my drink?"

Oliver nodded. "Nice to meat you too, and yes." he said taking out a chunk of dry ice from the bowl and pouring the steaming drink into a glass. He handed it to her smiling.

Jess tips the glass back, shuddering at the taste but draining the glass.

"Oh, shit! That was pretty good." they laugh, eyes sparkling.

"You been mixing drinks for long?" they ask, resting their elbows on the counter.

Oliver smiled when she laughed. "Glad you like it."
"I guess. I finished my apprenticeship about a year ago, and have been doing it ever since." he said putting bottles back

Jess raises a perfect eyebrow.

"Apprenticeship, huh? Sound like a fun story. At least, compared to mine."

"Not really." he said looking at her. "Just a lot of paperwork."
"What's your story?"

Jess snorts.

"My story?I went to college, got a degree in performing arts, and now here I am, in your bar, after a long day of reading off voice lines in Japanese and being told that I need to control my voice more."

"How is that not fun?" he asked sarcastically.
Oliver grabbed a green bottle of whisky and two shot glasses.
"you speak Japanese?" He handed her one of the cups after he filled them up.

"Because I spent four fucking years of my life learning voice shit, only to be told I'm not doing it right." Jess sighs.

"Yep. I grew up learning it, as well as German and Spanish."

Oliver nodded and shot his cup.
"Fun. I wish i could speak two languages." He said smiling. At this point he was determined to cheer this beautiful lady up.

Jess drains the rest of their drink, then sighs.

"I know little bits and pieces of Gaelic, Russian, Mandarin, Ukrainian, Dutch, French and Latin. Enough to be able to order food in each, or hold a conversation about the weather for two minutes. That's about the extent of my languages, though. I learned all of them because I needed to for my job. I speak Japanese, English, German and Spanish fluently, and that's about the most I can handle learning how to properly speak."

"Nice." Oliver said refilling his drink. "I tried to learn german in high school, but failed dramatically." He smiled. "So why are you out so late?" he asked curiously.
