Wined @ Rabbit Hole?
"The fuck you mean by 'Angora's ordered two pallets consisting of white wine', Basilio?!" Casque snapped, pure disbelief evident on his face as he stared at the pricky Pride bun scowling while standing on top of the counter; a clipboard in his hooves.
"Exactly what I meant, Mr. Brandy" He snipped back and Casque's cheeks reddened in embarrassment.
"It is for the The Rabbit Hole. Apparently Angora is scouring around for high quality alcohol and it's our turn. Why she did not also order our whisky, rum or other hard liquor I have no idea. She also wants you to personally deliver the pallets. I have already alerted the employees that we need two pallets since Peach Hellini uses sparkling wine while the Shardonnay favors dry wine variant."
"....I presume they already know which label specifically?" Casque sighed as another employee came into the tasting area to inform them that they had finished loading the pallets into the truck and that one of the employees would be accompanying to assist in the delivery.
"....Well then. Thank you, Basilio. Get your damn bun self back to your place; you're supposed to be resting!" Casque chastised the Pride who scowled then glared at his snickering co-worker who scampered off. The Envy groaned as he departed his property to go deliver the pallets. How fucking irritating. Perhaps he could grab a drink or two from the bar while he's there?
It wasn't a long drive as the roads were quite empty due to the late hour so Casque was able to park behind The Rabbit Hole near the employee entrance. He stared at the door that ALSO led to Wonderland Casino. Of course they would be attached. With an irritated sigh he loaded the pallets with some help onto the trolley and wheeled it inside toward where they kept ingredients in storage for the bar's usage. Once the pallets were unloaded, Casque had his employee head home as he went searching for Hops.
Luckily she wasn't too difficult to find as she was speaking to few of her coworkers while on her break.
"Hops?" Casque called out and continued "The two pallets Angora ordered with the red wines for Peach Hellini and Shardonnay; they're in the storage now and unloaded. Mind if I head to the bar and grab few drinks to unwind?"
"Huh? OH! Sure you can~! I'll be right there in a bit~" Hops chirped cheerily and Casque gave a quick nod as he headed toward the bar to settle in. His tail curled in distaste as his ears picked up on sounds of arrogance coming from the casino nearby. Great, Casque wasn't in the mood to deal with Prides tonight. Hopefully he'll be left in peace? The Envy checked his phone for messages as he waited for Hops to come out from her break since the other bartenders were occupied with customers and he had gone for a quiet corner.
"Hello~!! Did you decide which drink you want to start with tonight?" Hops's chirpy voice reached his ears and Casque glanced up with a nod.
"Distilled Spirits please, Hops" He politely requested, his four spirit motes weaving through his large antlers as Hops raised an eyebrow before her her pink eyes caught onto his spirit motes and nodded. Some murmuring rose up among other patrons and staff as Hops began to mix the cursed drink then they quickly died down when the Gluttony slid the drink his way. Casque rolled his eyes at the silence from others once they had realized that he had ordered the drink and would manage fine since he had the trait the drink frequently awarded.
Casque breathed slowly with each long sip taken, allowing the sensation to remove the stress and agitation off his body and letting him gradually relax.
"Thank you, Hops. It's been a while since I've had Distilled Spirits." Casque spoke up as Hops returned to check on him with a smile.
"Oh? Why's that?" She inquired and Casque shrugged "I usually favor drinking wines or on rare occasions one of my harder spirits. Besides, your speciality drinks are difficult to replicate." That had Hops giggling
"Some of them are easy but you are right there are several that are difficult. I'm glad you're enjoying this one. Do let me know if you want another drink?"
"Keratini next please?" Casque nodded as he continue to sip at his Distilled Spirits while watching Hops hop off to mix up the dry martini known for Grand Horns. It wasn't his favorite but sometimes he craved a good dry martini. By time the drink was being set in front of him, he had drained his glass of Distilled Spirits. It was easy for him to settle into a state of calm as he watched Hops bustle around the bar serving both drinks and conversations with other patrons.
When his Keratini had been finished, Casque called for a Dracquiri and for his tab to be closed so he can pay for his three drinks.
The Rabbit Hole could be quite a good place to grab few drinks at, Casque mused before snorting to himself. Yeah no, only on good quiet slow nights.
