1st Drink

[She's been here a few days. Castiel knows she's here. That girl who had helped her to the dugout and given her a little bit of help knew she was here, but had no idea who she was.

That didn't help.

She's got a bruise along her jaw and a scrape on her right cheek. And she's got a shot glass in her hand. There's a distinctive bottle close by, but she's not drinking it. It's too early for that. No matter how much she might want to.

Also, she knows her boys are here.]

I got the welcoming committee talk. Don't want to hear the rest of it.

[She rolls the shot glass along the table.]

I know there are folks from my world here. Appreciate it if they'd speak up.

[Another roll of the shot glass.]

If anyone's looking for a bartender, I ran my own saloon back in Nebraska and don't mind knocking heads together no matter how much more testosterone than brains they've got.

[And if you boys don't contact her, she will come find you. You really don't want that, do you?]

I'm from Oklahoma, originally. Nebraska, recently.

[A weak smile. She certainly belongs to a band of misfits.]

Winchesters and I are old friends.

I haven't met any Winchesters [which is a surprise since they're accident prone and he works in a hospital], but I'm not exactly a veteran here yet myself.

[And since Chuck filled him in.] But you're from the place that's spilling in some sort of Biblical convention? I don't know if you've ended up some place better or worse.

Heard they were around. They'll call soon enough.

[They always do. Or at least they'd better.]

Something like that.

Leonard McCoy for the record. [He doesn't introduce himself much due to the strange looks he usually gets.]

Usually I warn people to watch their asses around here, but judging by where you're from, I doubt I need to waste my breath with you.

[ellen_harvelle]

I got the warning when I first got here.

[Her fingers roll the glass again.]

Ellen. Nice to meet you.

[doctor_mccoy]

Same here.

[Honestly too. But you're no-nonsense and sharp, so that's earned you points.]

You know a good place to go drinkin', McCoy? Think I might need one today.

Merlotte's is usually where I end up. The owner has a soft spot for other newcomers so you'll probably get yourself a free drink out of the deal.

A lot of people seem to be recommending the place. May have to check it out.

[doctor_mccoy]

Do that. I'll buy you a drink myself if I ever catch you up there, ending up in the port earns you two or three at least.

[That gets a weak smile.]

Sounds better than back home. I wasn't that kind back at my saloon.

If bars make their best money from another guy's shitty day, then the places around here never worry about going out of business.

Sounds like paradise.
