The whistling didn't distract the man as he went about setting up the scene in the bar. White hair swayed along his back, the band wrapped around it keeping his longish ponytail tight. Perhaps he shouldn't have rebuilt the Obsidian Dagger in Durskim, but it was as much of a home as any place in Godai could be. Gloved hands placed chairs in their rightful positions and wiped down tables as he went. He tapped his foot to the tune of whatever he was whistling.
The Obsidian Dagger was in the satan strip, it wasn't a problem if people got rowdy or broke things. It was a financial problem anyway. If someone broke anything he'd send them to- ah, but now wasn't the time. The club was light dimly, but it was bright enough to see within even without the windows. A custom chandelier hung from the ceiling and kept things lit. When Lavistio finally unlocked the doors, most of the employees weren't present save for one. Lisha was a bouncer there, he only stepped in if Lavistio needed it but his face was enough to scare off trouble makers if his firsts weren't.
Finally he opened the door, propped it wide with a door stopper and waited for his first customers.
The sound of footsteps could be heard as the first customer of the evening stepped through the door. A fairly pretty woman were it not for the bandage covering her left cheek appearing to be in her mid-twenties with fair lightly tanned skin. Soft long pink hair just a shade too light to be bubblegum was drawn up in a ponytail accentuating rich turquoise blue eyes. She wore tight fitting black athletic wear pants, comfortable boots, a white tank top, and a jacket made of light material. The pocket belt studded with pokeballs and the travelpack on her back gave her away as a trainer even if the snoozing Larvesta draped across her shoulders like a large fluffy ruff didn't give that fact away. How she wasn't sweltering under the furry firetype was anyone's guess.
The woman stood for a moment in the doorway giving her eyes time to adjust to the buildings softer lit interior before flashing Lavi a smile she headed for a stool at the bar. Unshouldering her pack as she took a seat. "Hello? Do you serve food here as well as drinks? Looks like a lot of the other restaurants are closing down for the evening." She questioned with a tilt of her head, something slightly off about her appearance until the gesture drew ones eyes to her earrings and... there was something in her ears. Two small devices shaded to match her skin that appeared to be hearing aids. At the mention of food the Larvesta stirred blinking open blue eyes the almost exact same shade as it's trainers.
Lavistio tilted his head back from behind the counter as a voice reached his ears. Oh, a customer! He finished what he was doing swiftly and made his way from behind the counter to greet her. Ah, that's right- he should've released Noiz so he knew when people entered.
"Yes, of course! Were you hungry for something particular?" He said, his voice easily floating through the bar. He couldn't help but wink at her, part of his persona really. He reached for the Zubat's pokeball while he waited for her answer, releasing him in a burst of light. Noiz screeched lowly, but went about doing his own thing as soon as he oriented himself to his surroundings.
Lucia blinked in surprise cheeks coloring the barest touch as the wink surprised the usually practical researcher. Her mind briefly reeling until... ah no it was probably just a business tactic. Flirt with the ladies and they order more drinks and come back with their friends. Letting out a soft amused snort her lips curving into a wry smile the Woman tugged the Larvesta off her shoulders and onto her lap. Stroking the large bug type like one might a cat as the pokemon propped it's front legs up on the bar counter to peer around in open curiosity. It's eyes briefly following the zubat as it made a hissing chirp spinning a bit of web from it's mouth. Whether in greeting or in territorial warning not to get too close to HIS human one couldn't be certain.
"I think I'd like something hardy. Maybe a stew or shepherds pie if you have it?" She requested with a apologetic smile hoping she's not putting the man on the spot. Still heavier food made for easier drinking and after so long in the hospital she could use a drink. "Do you have pokemon food here as well?" Lucia questioned knowing Solaris, her Larvesta, would just steal her meal if she didn't get him something of his own to munch on in the meantime.
