    "'Pretty lady?'" Jezebel repeated, raising an eyebrow and giving the Oni a skeptical look. "Yea, now I know you've had too much."

    Or he's got a fetish for gas masks and necrosis.

    She shook her head slightly at the idea and stood back as Rook moved in to resolve the situation. Jezebel hoped the guy wouldn't get angry and make an idiot of himself by taking a swing at the Red Victor, though it wouldn't surprise her if he did. Things could go sour very quickly when dealing with someone as drunk as Leon was. She'd been in that position more than once herself.

    "Whatever they need doing, really." Jezebel said, turning back to Smudge. "Most of the time I'm behind the bar. Did it back in NY. Think they want me to patch the sound system up again tonight, though. Bastards are too cheap to buy one that isn't falling to bits." She laughed and cocked a leg, looking down at the platform heel on her boot. "Don't reckon these'd be the most practical for working the door. Ain't gonna look too good if your security gets knocked on her ass after a good shove, right?"

    Morgan wasn't doing anything important. No courier job, no parkour, no exciting chases. She'd just gone out for dinner and was having a nice walk home when she spotted a large, red, familiar changeling staggering down the street. She was sure she recognized this stumbling drunkard. He looked an awful lot like that Leon guy from the Halloween party. He'd said nice things about her. So if it was him, she couldn't just ignore him when he was THAT bad.

    Didn't need him showing off powers or blabbing about stuff, she seemed to do that stupidity enough on her own. He was drunk enough that any words could be easily ignored. She wasn't fast enough to catch him before he went into the bar though, having to wait at a crosswalk slowed her down. She did get inside the bar in time to hear Leon's rant about tasting everything. She was halfway to the bar before stopping to hear what he said, and then got worried Oh, oh boy. Not good. He sounds REAAALLY wasted. Not the best at talking, hope he doesn't get angry. This jacket is good for falls, probably not for fights. If only...there...were...others... She then noticed all the other Lost in the place. She gave a nervous smile and wave towards the largest grouping. She motioned with her head towards Leon, hoping to convey signal for a little help here with the motion. She then proceeded towards the bar, hoping to get Leon away from the booze.

    She waved hello to him, trying to get his attention, "Hello, you're Leon, right? Hi. Um, I think maybe I saw you at that Halloween party. And, heh, well, you maybe, sorta you might want something, er, different than beer? Maybe, uh, something with--well you know, NOT alcohol. Soda? Or snacks? And, I, uh, think you wanna go to a chair maybe, heh, not a stool."

    Mark nods, understanding the elemental's mission. He'd had similar jobs in the past. "The Four Seasons?" Mark asks Magnus with a hefty dose of skepticism. "You 'aint pulling my leg with that name, are you?"

    He keeps an eye out on the Ogre Rook was taking care of. The last thing a drunk wanted was someone stopping him or escorting him out of a bar. "Is he going to need any help?" He referring to Rook, of course. The Oni needing help was a foregone conclusion.

    To a more aggressive drunk being approached from both sides by people would have probably brought on an aggressive act. However with Leon it was the polar opposite.

    The appearence of two familier faces plastered a goofy grin across his face. He looked at them both, swapping from one to the other constantly "ohhhh helloooo, its the nice peoples, its little Morgan, your pretty without your big suit of armour on i like it, and, and, and, Chessman, Rooky Rook Rook, how you doing, hows the ivory these days? eh? aww this is nice, friends beside me and stuff, beer, thats hear too ohh lovely" upon addressing each of them he patted Morgan on the head ruffling her hair a bit before turning to look at Rook to do something similar before noticing that it would be a bad idea and stopping himself from doing so. Just.

    Upon hearing the two of them he looked back to Morgan, she had the best offer, granted he would prefer to drink beer but he would prefer more to not be out in the cold air. "Morgy Worgan, i would love a snak and if i get to sit with you then sure ill give up Mr.Stool, Rooky can join us if he wants, ill be good. The call out from the other Ogre also peaked his attention, "you wanna help, aww shucks thats nice of ya, you can buy me a drink if you want"

    Rook stared flatly at Leon from behind his sunglasses. Seeing that he'd been pretty much right as the Oni started babbling about chessmen in public, he reached out one rigid hand and put it on the Ogre's shoulder. It wasn't a cruel gesture, but it was firm. Since he clearly hadn't gotten through the first time, he dropped his voice. Steel threaded through it.

    "Maybe I wasn't clear. Let's go. Now." Rook's voice was firm, and it was a clear command, but there was a definite impression of 'I'm doing this for your own good'.

    Morgan shrunk downwards a little when Leon patted her on the head. It wasn't a wince induced by fear or worry, it was just the sheer SIZE difference between the short Beast and the Oni that caused her response. She also finally noticed Rook on Leon's other side, apparently he was trying to get Leon away from the bar as well. Good-good-good-good-good. If Leon falls down I can't pick him up, but Rook, is that his name? Well he can...probableee--shit. Rook doing the bad-fae cop thing? Should I do good cop or play along? Shit, Rook is big n scary. While intimidated by Rook, she does try to give him a friendly grin as a greeting.

    "H-hello, um, Rook is it? I didn't see you there, heh, sorry. I agree. Er, I agree that Leon probably really has had a bit too much already. Yeah, heh. He shouldn't be having anymore alcohol, maybe water or soda but no, not alcohol."

    She turned back her focus to Leon, "Hi Leon. The, uh, armor was just for Halloween, but I think maybe Rook is really right. You kinda-sorta-really-truly have a had a bit of a lot already. Heh. Soooo, maybe it is time to call it a goodnight already? Or if, uh, if you are having trouble with walking maybe..." She looks over at Rook, worried how he'll react "maybe sit with us at a table for a while? We can...get a cab for you in a bit. 'Cause can't, you know, have you getting hurt from drinking too much, nonono. I'll even pay for it-the cab. Friends help each other and all friends here. Gotta make sure everyone is a-okay, right?"

    Tries to keep things "friendly"

    The hand on the shoulder and the firm voice got to him, he had been thrown out of bars and clubs before and by people less scary than Rook. He decided against that next pint and opted to be lead out by the man. Morgan, bless her, had a point, i was being a bit stupid about things so her idea was also good but he wasnt going to deny either of them right now but rook was caught his attention more.

    " i think you guys are right im, im sorry, i-i just... yeah" his voice trailed off, he looked up at Rook as he stood up and let out a final line as he caught his balance, "You want me to go outside? ok. He head for the door, holding onto the stools as he hobbled.

    Magnus watches the exchange at the bar impassively. He pours himself another finger of the whiskey and throws half of it back. Turning back to the new Lost he raises the glass. "Welcome to town."

    "So. Obviously he does not need help." Mark says, shaking his head. "This happen often? At the Four Seasons?" And no, he didn't believe them. It had to be a joke. The Lost aren't going to camp out at a place named The Four Seasons, for God's sake. That was... Mark didn't have a word for what that was, but whatever it was, he didn't believe it.

    That would be like Mark getting an apartment over some 24-Hour-All-You-Can-Eat-Ribs/Topless Waffle House place. That would be the first place anyone who knew anything about Mark would look look for him.
