( closed @thatsketchartist )
It was nearing closing time at the Cauldron, which meant less work for Seamus to do and more time to doss about. The blackboard behind the bar needed updating with a new special cocktail - as standard, they did a weekly rotation of the same generic shite ( ʜᴇx ᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴇᴀᴄʜ, ʙʟᴀꜱᴛ-ᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ ꜱᴄʀᴇᴡᴛᴅʀɪᴠᴇʀ ) - but Seamus had wrangled his way into inventing the next great drink: Long Irish Ice Tea. Issue is, he had no idea what was supposed to go in it. And no one to test it on.
He was midway through stacking glasses into a pyramid ( not the best idea for someone with butterfingers as slippery as his ) when his best mate rolled in, practically volunteering himself for the role. It was destiny, deanstiny, that he entered just as the top three rows slipped from their positions and smashed to the floor. Nae bother, there were more important matters. ❝ Dean! Mate, you’re just in time. Have I got a job opportunity for you. ❞ He spread his arms outwards, gesturing to the dusty shelves that lined the walls behind him, as if they were the key to a whole new world of possibilities. ❝ How’d you feel about a little bit of rum and a lot bit of risk? ❞
