 This little bar downtown contains a little irony inside its name. Owned by a demon named Riad, it provides a safe haven for all non-humans, and even humans, to get away from the world. The drinks range from mundane to otherworldly, especially with a demon running it. Holding both good and bad memories, the Devil's Tavern is an excellent place to curve your demons-- or be them, within a contained area. Don't want to return home or hit the road? There's some lodging in the back that's nice for a cheap price. Whatever it is you're craving, you can choose your fix of poison here without judgement. |

Riad cleans a few shot glasses, setting them on the display. Quietly, he hummed to himself, eyes flicking around to the others that had stayed late. The upside of Devil's Cavern, it never closed and never slept.
With a heavy sigh as he felt a weight appear in the world, he sat the glass down with a soft click. Tonight was going to be a long night.

Walking through downtown, Carter makes a right at the intersection, heading for the bar. Once there, he pulls open the door and slips inside, keeping his hood up to hide his face halfway. Sitting on one of the stools at the bar, he waves his fingers briefly at the bartender
"I'll have the usual, if you don't mind." he replies quietly, eyes down on the counter in front of him, shadows beneath them, hasn't slept much since Rima's death two months ago. And that was after the week long investigation where the police considered him one of their top suspects

Cerria walked down the road, eyes flicking back and forth to take in every building. Almost as she was mapping it out, no memorizing the place. Her head lifted up when she spotted the place that she was looking for, and steered in that direction. Reaching out she slammed the door open before walking inside.

"I'll have the usual, if you don't mind."
Riad watched the nman sit and gesture, offering a nod as he recognized him. "Coming right up." He turned around to begin making his drink, though he looked towards the door when it was slammed. "Hello, miss," he greeted kindly before returning to make Carter's drink. "Can I help you?"
He made Carter's drink, taking note of his tone of voice, as he always does. Something for the last few months had been bothering him; he just didn't know what. He remembered when he started seeing Carter two months ago, out of the blue, distressed and gave off the darkest and most sorrowful aura. Now it all seemed numb, and Riad didn't even know his name.

"Coming right up."
"Thanks man." Carter mutters quietly, eyes closing as pain flashes across his face a moment as memories try to invade his brain "Actually. Make it a double, would you?" he corrects, not giving a damn about self control tonight
"Hello, miss. Can I help you?"
Eyes flying open when the door slams, his hand automatically reaches for the inside pocket of his jacket for the knife he realizes a moment later isn't there, exhales shakily before sitting back and trying to relax, hoping no one noticed his actions

"Can I help you?"
"Evening."Cerria replied shortly as she walked in, shutting the door softer than she had before. Sighing she walked over taking in the two males at the bar. "That depends on if I am in the right place. I was told by a client that there was lodging here. I think the words he used we're let's see..."The best lodging with a out of the world experience. Am I wrong to take their word?" She performed a half turn to the other customer quietly, studying his composure.

Riad added a shot of double and passed it to Carter, eyes flicking to his face, violet eyes not missing much. They flick to the woman and he smiles, hands resting on the bar as he leaned against it. "No, not wrong by any means. We have a few rooms free." He paused a moment, taking in her appearance. "A little late to be traveling, don't you think?"
He dug under the bar on a shelf and pulled out a small worn note book and a key, scribbling in the lodge entry.

Taking the glass when it slides towards him, he tosses it back immediately, breath hissing out as it hits tbe back of his throat, sets it down softly, starting to get a buzz already, ignprant to the fact when his hood falls, ignoring the others "Bartender. Another." he mutters, hair brushing his ears, blue eyes clouded, only shown his face but a few times

. "No, not wrong by any means. We have a few rooms free."
"Good. If I was told otherwise that would be most unfortunate for both parties."Cerria shook her head before looking around sharply.
"A little late to be traveling, don't you think?"
"Maybe but then again it's early for others. As for your earlier question, you can help me by showing me the room. Also the strongest thing you have would be much appreciated. " she stared back at him before closing her coat better. She had been in enough trouble tonight. Knife wounds rubbed her in more ways than one.

"Good. If I was told otherwise that would be most unfortunate for both parties."
"Of course," Riad replied, looking towards Carter as he spoke.
"Bartender. Another."
He paused long enough to quickly make another drink, resting it in front of him without question. Though, his eyes linger on the man's blue ones for a moment before he stepped over to the notebook. "For you, it'll just be twenty for tonight. May I have a name for the receipt? And would you prefer a shot or a whole bottle?" Riad met her gaze, eyes knowing and not accusing.
Tonight was definitely becoming interesting.

Throwing back the second shot quickly, he grits his teeth a moment before sighing, tongue brushing the edge of his bottom lip where the ring is, eyes close a moment, alcohol's effects starting to take effect "Another. And bartender?"

Cerria nodded in response, relief flowing through her. "Thank you." Says sliding the bill over. She watches him before answering slowly, eyes calculating. Should she lie or tell the truth? "You may call me Sarah. And a whole bottle will do. Just send someone up with it to my room if you don't mind." She leans over and reads the number on the directory before making towards the stairs. "A boy named Abel should be asking for me. If he does I'm not here."

"Thank you. You may call me Sarah. And a whole bottle will do. Just send someone up with it to my room if you don't mind."
"All right, Sarah," Riad wrote the name on the recipt, passing the original to her and keeping the carbon copy. "I'll send someone up with that bottle." He smiled, gesturing towards the stairs.
"A boy named Abel should be asking for me. If he does I'm not here."
He nodded with a small wave. "Your presence will be left unknown."
"Another. And bartender?"
Riad looked at him as the woman walked away, straightening from leaning on the bar. "At this rate, you're going to kill your liver," he commented, though he fixes up another shot. "What's on your mind?"

"At this rate, you're going to kill your liver. What's on your mind?"
"I wouldn't care if I killed my liver, I don't even want to be here." Carter mutters quietly, throwing the shot back like it's nothing, already under the influence as he laughs bitterly "What's on my mind?" he echoes, barely audible, tongue loose "I suppose it's the fact that I'm alone, I haven't been laid in months, my last relationship ended with a bang three months ago, and my aunt was murdered not a week after. Not that I can prove that, of course."
"But." He chuckles heartlessly, slamming the glass down "I'm bored now, and that's enough talking. I think it's time I walk home." Standing, he salutes mockingly, tipsy "How much do I owe youuu"
