estdeus_innobis[Day 227, 22nd February]
[Monday night]
[Whitechapel Bar]
Monday nights always seem slow after the weekend, but we’re doing well enough tonight, steady but not bustling. Maybe it’s on account of the cold. No one’s ordered more than three drinks at a time for a while now, and we’re halfway through the night. There’s no one in I know well enough to talk to about anything of substance, so I’ve been making the rounds with a little small talk every half hour or so, working on some stubborn spouts behind the bar the rest of the time. Not many people sitting up here, either, and the ones that are seem more interested in their drinks than in talking to me. That’s just as well. I’ve got enough to think about from the end of last week.
Spent Thursday and Friday nights down at the brothel trying to look intimidating when I wasn’t making conversation with some of the nicest prostitutes I’ve ever had cause to be around. Their cook insisted on feeding me with the rest of them at midnight, even though I told her that wasn’t part of the deal I’d set with Miao. Not that the food wasn’t welcome: the woman can cook as well as anyone I’ve ever known. I’ve broken bread with odd groups of people before, but none quite so interesting.
Had to set straight a few customers making demands for things that weren’t up for sale, and redirect another who seemed a little too happy to be in the wrong room. A couple more didn’t want to leave when their time was up, but helping them out the door was no great hardship. Miao doesn’t let anyone in who sounds drunk or violent, which makes my job a lot easier. Not a bad way to make a living, all together, and I can’t say I was shocked by anything I heard or saw. Still don’t like it as much as tending bar, but I’ve worked places I liked a lot less. Glad to be back here for a couple days, though. Looks like we’re going to have a quiet night, as well, which is just fine with me.
