Alright, for future reference, please please do not use asterisks to indicate an action within speech. This is advanced RP. I mean, I don't wanna be a dick GM, but if any of us are grammar nazis we all ought to understand that "*sigh* (speech)" is not quite as advanced as we can be - especially not if our characters are into discussing advanced philosophy in pubs.
Without warning, but not very suddenly, the door to the back rooms swung open; Daniel and the other agent, Lucy, staggered out, feigning tipsiness convincingly.

"Same time next week, handsome." She slurred quietly, pecking him on the cheek as she turned to leave, almost falling over in the process.

"Only if you can hold you liquor better by then, hot stuff." He chuckled, before turning drunkenly to the bar, and sidling up to it.

"Don't you think you've had enough?"

"Ah come on, John. I'm just getting started. Gimme the green one, please?"

The bartender frowned at him for a moment, pausing from polishing a glass that had already been polished more than enough when he started. Reluctantly, he sighed and grabbed his shaker.

"Fine. Last order for you - and this is a pub, not a brothel. Try to avoid screwing that floozy in my conference room any more, y'hear?" He shook his head as he began to add liquor and liqueur to the shaker - a shot of Gunnar's Export Strength gin, a shot of cheap vodka, a dash of citrus bitters, and half a shot of bright green lime syrup - before topping it up with a sour, sugary soda mixture.

"Ah go on, hit it with the good stuff, will you?"

The bartender sighed again, sighing being one of his most regular activities when dealing with drunks, and held the shaker up to a small tap in the wall at the back of the bar. For just a second, he turned the tap on, and a few drops of something thick trickled into the cup - which immediately lit up a far brighter colour of green.

"You keep drinking like this, you'll fall off the edge of Solace before you even wake up, you dumb shit." The bartender huffed as he slammed the lid on the shaker, gave it a nice, hard shake - including a frivolous twirl in the middle - and strained it into a glass of ice.

Bright - borderline fluorescent - green.

"Cheers, Mike." Daniel flashed the barman a wink, before slipping him a note of currency, and raising the glass to the rest of the bar.

"And here's to you, arse holes!" He laughed at the lot of them, before turned back to the rear of the bar, and heading into the back rooms again, gingerly sipping his drink. If all went well, he'd be followed shortly by a team of mercenaries.

First time in his life that had been a good thing.
@CollectorOfMystIt is also 1:30AM. I'm heading to bed, chaps and chappettes. Good night to you all, i look forward to seeing new things here in the morrow.
@CollectorOfMyst Taking shifts. Dunno why I didn't think of it.
@CollectorOfMyst Actually, that makes perfect sense. I stand corrected. This gent is a genius.
AHEM - although, when the RP has been developed a bit more, I assure you that Ariah will get his chance to fly our ship - and possibly more, depending on what mischief we get up to in the Iron Dominion.
@vietmyke@Deos Morran Actually, I'm afraid Sam is more likely to be the pilot. We'll assume he's being modest about being a novice, for the RP's sake - but there's a reason he was already working with the IRIO, and this is it. Additionally, Daniel will like Sam just fine - they're not likely to talk about anything particularly deep until Daniel can stop speaking so proper-like, but Daniel likes the kind of man that Sam is.
@CollectorOfMyst Eh, no need. Just have the two blokes you've mentioned be random guys, unrelated to the plot. Cole's smart, and analytical, but no spy - he could easily have misidentified them.
@CollectorOfMyst I wasn't really referring to your character with that comment, to be honest. Cole fits the setting excellently, and is a better depiction of your typical elvish scholar than I could ever write.
@vietmyke There are many types of IRIO agent. Sam's no spy, that's true, but he would do well as support staff for the rest of the IRIO - such as, flying their ships, maintaining their ships, operating safehouses etc. Daniel is not really a spy either, he fulfills a tactical role for the IRIO - but if you'd like Sam to be a part of the IRIO crew before the RP begins, that is entirely your prerogative. I trust your skill enough to make it convincing.
