Hola amigos,
Un shot of Ron. Please Asesino. I had to dock the Correo to get some repairs. Bounty hunters are swarming the Omegas systems. Lucky for me I have plenty of cargo space to pick their helpless bodies as they drift in space. I store them along side Xenos and Hassians. I am sure they get an ear full of what is waiting for them once delivered to Battleship Fess.
Jose had been promising to stop by Asesino's new bar for a little while and since he had a few spare moments on his way home it seemed like as good a time as any to put in an appearance.
Jose found the street that the bar was located on and walked along it until he saw the brightly illuminated sign outside declaring the fact that the retail unit underneath it was in fact Asesino's bar.
Pushing the heavy door open Jose entered into the dimly lit room. Walking across the room he took a seat at the bar and looked around to see who else might be in the bar.
Recognising a couple of the faces of pilots that at one time or another he had flown alongside in battle, he acknowledged their presence with a small nod, before turning his attention back to the bar with a view to ordering a drink. Looking along the bar he saw Asesino walk into view from a back room.
"Good evening Aseseino", said Jose. "I'm glad to see that business seems to be going well".
Asesino smiled and walked along to where Jose was sitting. 'This looks like a nice place you have here, but I hope it won't impinge upon your combat readiness'¦..?' Jose asked raising an eyebrow, 'and before you ask'¦. Yes. I will have a drink. Rum preferably. You don't happen to have any that special reserve rum that the Sails so often seem to be able to get hold of do you? If you don't I'll have whatever you've got that is not likely to double as paint stripper'.
Pouring the drink Asesino put the glass on the bar top in front of Jose. Taking the glass Jose said 'that looks like just what I need right this moment. Thanks.'
Lifting the glass Jose takes a moment to savour the aroma before emptying the glass in a single swallow.
'Very nice. I'll have another one please'. Whilst Asesino is busy pouring another glass Jose turns his attention back to the room and takes a long look around whereupon he is heard to mutter to no one in particular 'Best of all there is no damn parrot in here'¦..'¦'
After serving Jose's rum Asesino looked about in case anyone else wanted anything. After serving a few more drinks Asesino dropped by Jose again. "Hey Jose. Try this stuff, its apparently the reason everyone comes here." said Asesino as he dropped a mug of dark, aromatic rum in front of him before going off to the Tunecube'¢ with a holodisk and set up the Space pirates to play their number one hit "Pirating You".
The bar adruptly broke into a sing along with much laughing and rum being drunk.
"Hola again amigos, Im sorry for having left without saying adios last time, I was quite drunk" Diego walked hurrily into the bar, as he greeed evryone, he called a glass of iced rum and said: "I think I have good news for you Asesino. Mateo of the Black Sails is getting married, yes for the 7th time. He trusted me to prepare the drink, so of course I think about you and your iced rum. We'd be very happy if you could keep everyone drunk". He smiled.
Asesino lifts his head up from his ship computer analysis system to listen to Diego before shutting it down and saying. "Hmm, Mateo wants to get married AGAIN? Whatever, his life, just get him to sign this." Said Asesino as he handed a holodisk to Diego. "The moment that is signed he'll have enough Iced Rum, served by yours truly of course, to keep 2000 people drunk for a month."
It's was Diego again, looked like he just managed to make himself look good after waking up from a long sleep... "Hola again amigo, thanks a lot for your drinks. Bandito's wedding was flawless, and well, we was drunk and hangover for nearly a week... Ooh, I still have headache...". He sat down and looked around. "Aye, still quiet... Asesino, can I have a glass of water please. I like your grilled swine too, one dish, as usual. We must do something to make this place noisy."
Diego came back to the bar and noticed a deathly silence. Looked like Benitez's business is not always working out. He saw Asesino standing at the end of the bar, murmuring with the music played by the good old junkebox...
Diego came by Asesino and gave him a cup filled with Iced Rum taken from the freezer. Asesino smiled at him and nodded as the two raised the cups: "Vivan los Imperio!". Leaving his cup on the bar, Asy reached for the junkebox and switched to another song... It was a very old one, old as Earth...
"Like a dog without a bone
and actor all alone...
Rider on the storm...
Riders on the storm...
And let's ride! Yee!"
The two sang like the old friends in a lonely house, and their song was the only thing to broke the silent. The Corsairs were lost in the hangover of past glories...
