Utopia: Bar and Lounge

[Ambrosia Faustus]

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Description & Goal:
--What is it:

• Utopia is simply the best bar & lounge that resides within the walls of the Gotei/Seireitei. There are many places to enjoy a drink around the area but there is honestly no place that could be compared to Utopia. One does not simply come to Utopia for "atmosphere". Do not get me wrong; Utopia is a beautiful sight to behold but that is not why you walk in the front door. It isn't the friendly staff or the private rooms. Simply put. You come for the drinks and food. Utopia does not focus on any atheistic but on the ideal that "every customer enjoys what they consume." The Bar and Lounge is owned by the Spirit Blossom enterprise. Therefore, the real owner of the bar is Soraea Shigure himself. This establishment is one of the most prosperous within the Spirit Blossom dynasty.
  
  Hours:
  --Hours of Operations:
  
• Another thing that separates this lounge from the others is that Utopia is open 24/7. Utopia is staffed with such an honorable and friendly staff that manages to run smoothly, twenty-four hours a day. Monday through Saturday. Unfortunately, Utopia does close on Sundays. Don't worry though! If you're not loved; have no one; or if you are just plain boring...UTOPIA IS OPEN ALL HOLIDAYS! That is right! Utopia does not close for holidays! If a holiday falls on a Sunday; Utopia manages to open for that Sunday only! So pay attention to the Gotei calendar! If Utopia is open on Sunday you can bet there will be some type of special that day! I promise!
  
  --Staff:
  
• Soraea Shigure - Owner
  General Manager - Nona Kamuya
  Associate Manager - Sao Kamuya
  Night Manager - Sumara Fuhua
  Day Manager - Eiji Kagemiya
  Day Mixer - Magatsuhui Kamiko
  Night/Associate Mixer & Main Bartender - Yulan Hua-Tao
  Waitress - May - Rin
  Waiter - Ren Kaiyotome
  Waitress - Granny Cho
  Co-Operating Partner & Book Keeper/Waitress - Kiyomori Fukunaga
  Bouncer {Night Time Only} - Naraku "The Mysterious"
  
  
  --Atmosphere {Interior}:
  
• Utopia does not put its atmosphere in the first priority. However, the staff does manage to keep the up-keep done. When one manages to enter the building, the main room is what is seen first. When looking to the left, the bar & lounge become visible. The unique design gives the atmosphere that the drinks and food come first. The bar takes the entire wall and when busy it requires two mixers or bartenders to hold down the position. It has been seen that sometimes it requires three during holiday specials. The lounge has nice furnishings for one to relax and talk while enjoying one of the listed menu items. Although, what if you have some information to spill? Perhaps a little gossip? Or maybe some top-secret information to relay to another guest? Then a private room is just for you! The private rooms are hidden on the right-wing of the building. They allow parties of five to seven have conversations without being disturbed by the public outside. There are currently five private rooms available for rent. They are paid by the hour. If that is not enough for you, Utopia also has an outside bar located on the rooftop. If you want to enjoy a nice beverage while gazing at the stars, this is the place for you! Lastly, there is the cellar hidden underneath the actual bar and lounge. The only way to get to and from the cellar is a hidden door on the floor beneath the actual bar. This room is by far the most hidden and sacred at the bar. Only the Owner, General Manager, Co-Operating Partner, & Associate Manager have the key. The cellar holds all of the alcohol. It's also the most secretive room within Utopia. The owner has been known to throw secret parties for his staff as well as very special guest down here. This is also where top-secret information is usually passed with the discretion of course.
  
  
  --Rules:
  
• Utopia is pretty relaxed about the rules on what people do within the Lounge. However, there are a few rules that should be addressed. The staff has the right to cut off the customer from any alcoholic beverage at any time they seem fit. The customer may not flirt or harass the staff in any way. If that rule is disregarded; blacklisted shall be your reward. If you have no money, do not try to purchase. No physical fighting is allowed within the Lounge. Lastly, you break, you buy. Or perhaps your superiors would like to hear how you represent your squad when you are in public? Someone will pay for the broken furniture. Simply put...DON'T BE STUPID.

Bashmu was not at the festival activities? Nor was he bothering about the apparent fire? Was squad 12 t the cause? No, they weren't. While he would of loved to help play fire patrol, what exactly was he going to do? Poison everyone to death? He stayed out of it. The others had it plus it wasn't something he really needed to get involved in. A fire? Such childs play. He needed a drink though, thinking about the day it was and all this celebration he realized he had no one truly to celebrate with. Well he had the rugrat but she was no Perseus or snack.. Better than nothing though? At last, that was what he liked to tell himself when all else failed. Ignoring the information about the fires, Bashmu would head over to Utopia. It should be fine. Drunkards would fight even the mightiest hollow to keep their alcohol locations intact. He did wonder something. It seemed that it wasn't an accident. At least, not from his point of voice. If it was, no one would of let it grow this wild right? Did it truly matter? He could speculate but what was that going to get him?


Entering the lab area, he would see his lieutenant was focused on something and he was going to do the responsible thing by taking her away from concentration and making her follow along and be his plus 1 so when he gets ******** up she has to take care of him. The benefits of having a daughter, you always have a designated driver. He wasn't taking back the idea either. Bashmu would wrap an arm around Arty and cause her to literally almost jump out of her skin. Like a kitten trying to escape but you have them too high in the iar, Bashmu caught her and threw her over his shoulders with ease. He wasn't going to ask her about the fire. He doubted she started it. Not while bing so quiet and unmotivated to look at the end results. With the brat in hand, the bar was there.


Upon making it to the bar of Utopia, Bashmu was already getting some weird looks but some major vibes that he could hang with. A smile would grace his lips as he put the child down and return back a famous grin. OH, He was going to be getting some tonight. He could feel it in the air. He probably wasn't going to be the only one either. There were some hookups going on, Bashmu could smell it. Going to the bartender, he would order a blackout. His alcoholism levels he felt he could take it. He wasn't going to black out no matter what!!1 As he waited for his drink, he glanced around some more. It as tamed for now, but Bashmu wasn't there to socialize. At least, not with his words.

Bashmu knew well the mindset Artemis was in, and being the responsible parent he was, he abused it. A sly smile of satisfaction from scaring his precious niece that lead to a small raging tantrum. Were it not him, he might have ended up getting hurt. Being who he was as well, he was quick to whisk her away in the middle of her flailing. They were going out whether she liked it or not. She needed to get out a socialize normally more! He was such a bad example! But, he needed her sober anyways.

Puffed cheeks marked her face as she still hung off Bashmu’s shoulders once they walked in the bar, only then did he set her down. Her eyepatch was back in its position indicating a “calmer” Artemis, at least one that wasn’t in deep thought. Sticking her nose up in the air she waltzed off to the bar not noticing the other two that were already there, a male with quite the “rebel” look and a woman that was bound to catch Bashmu’s eye. Although she was Lieutenant of Squad 12 she was not familiar with every single shinigami in the Seireitei. She had no clue who Isaac was, did Bashmu? If he did that was none of Artemis’ business, she just wanted to get a drink. Her uncle and captain was already off to a good start! Oh he was going to make her miserable tonight wasn’t he!?

”Pass me a Deep Blue Sea,” the young lieutenant asked the bartender, a woman. Oh great…. Female bartenders and Bashmu were not a lovely mix! Now this wasn’t necessarily Artemis’ favorite drink but it was blue, the color attracted her more than the actual flavor. A nod of the head the drink was mixed and handed towards Artemis but as the liquid passed her lips a look of shock painted the girls face. That burning sensation that showed she was drinking alochol was missing. ”Wait this is virgin!?” She complained quite loudly at the bartender, not out of anger but the music in her earbuds was quite loud.

”No need to yell child!” The bartender stated with a hand on her hip.

”Oh right…” Raising her hands she popped out the small speakers in her ears. This was a bar, it wasn’t going to be quiet, she didn’t need her music for the time being. ”As I was saying. I didn’t reques…”

The woman cut her off. ”He told me virgin’s only for you.” Artemis’s eyebrows lowered as her eyes (although only her left was visible) scowled. Was this some twisted joke on behalf of her uncle? Then again it was probably a simple matter of making sure he had someone to baby him once he got “s**t” faced.

Leaning back in her seat, almost risking falling back on the floor, she held her body with one hand on the bar counter while the other slapped herself in a slow facepalm that slid down her face dragging her eyelids and lips as her fingers trickled down her skin. A loud audibly annoying UUUUUUUGGGGGGGH left her lips. ”So Imma have to watch him woo mindless tho...ahem… women… while sober!?” ARtemis uttered to no one in particular. She had a habit of talking to herself outloud. Leaning forward again she brought herself to the counter as she took a sip. Sure it lacked the booze but it was still good, and blue. ”Now…. hmm…. I could play the cockblock game. If I must suffer so shall he! Then again…. he easier when content…. hmmmm” Artemis debated how evil she was going to be towards her uncle that night. She cared not if he overheard her “plans”. He should know by now the risk of making her tag along.

With puffed cheeks, Artemis took another swig of her alcoholic free drink, her mind still debating if she would give her father a hard time. It was… always awkward for her to see him in such situations. It was not because she was naive and innocent (alright she was but it didn’t disgust her) but, he was the man that raised her. The way she looked at him was well, different from the way others did. Besides was it not always disturbing for children to think about their parents’ love life? Not that it was a bad thing, just some things you did not need to have to see!

The redhead woman not far from where Artemis was drinking walked in Bashmu’s direction. So…. it begins…. she thought to herself musing what to do. Sadly she would not be given much time to think things through as the man that had been with her slid close to Artemis asking about her captain. Lips against the glass as the rest of her liquid was poured down her throat she set her glass down and turned her attention to him. Before she could answer however he moved onto another question. ”Ahem… unfortunately,” she stated staying just as unclear as him, a finger tapping at her glass giving a bit of a hint she was perhaps referencing the drink, however, the statement was true when it came to herself. She did not want to be the type of woman Bashmu mixed with. Learning by bad example was the case here.

Turning her attention towards his first question she swiveled in the bar stool turning around, her back leaning against the counter as her rested her elbows on the surface for extra support. She wanted to watch the situation somewhat unfold as she answered Izzy. ”Sadly, hair color isn’t what he looks at…. a** check…. chest… double-check. Possibly already taken so he doen’t have to worry about commitment himself… oh.. that is the delicious cherry on top.” Artemis commented as she tilted her head to the side to gaze at Issac wondering what his reaction would be. She had no idea the woman was, in reality, a zanpakuto spirit… which if she did Artemis would be quite intrigued at one manifesting itself so physically and interacting with them normally, while also being concerned on its…. doll-like uses…

”If by chance she is yours, I hope for your sake she loyal,” Artemis commented. The fact Issac was not showing anger or jealousy yet led her to believe they weren’t a true couple, or that he knew something about her. For all, she knew she was just going to toy with Bashmu for the fun of it. There were some people that flirted around by stayed loyal to their significant other, all it ever was were words.

Swiveling in the stool again she turned back to face the bar as she rose her cup for the bartender to give her a refill. ”Name’s Artemis Hydra” she pointed her thumb out at Bashmu. ”That b*****d over there is Bashmu Hydra…” With her virgin drink topped off again she took a sip as she continued to converse with Izzy. ”You?”

Did Bashmu do it? Yes he did. He knew how he was and being an offspring of him, even if not biologically, he didn't need the thought of Artemis being out here having a hot girl summer. The fires were hot enough already. So he cut her off early so she be unable to get drunk. Easy when the Bartender is easy to tip-off with money. The Deep Blue Sea was nothing more than a fish tank of broken dreams. He didn't mind if she was upset or being a brat about it. She understood her place did she not? Be a good girl while Bashmu.... go to his evil ways. The surroundings of who was there did not phase Bashmu. He was not one to care of his notoriety or to care about his surroundings. Opps will die. Others will leave him the hell alone and if you cute, then they can talk. The feminine voice would awake him from his focus of thought. When did she get there? Looking her over, she either was not really the man's woman or she wasn't loyal. Both was good in his book. A smile would creep on his lips as he took in the sight. He didn't know she was a zanpakutou. Spirit? Form? Manifestation? He didn't think to either check. Though, would it had mattered to him? Bourbon and coke would be placed infront of the Taicho and he would grab it to take a sip. “I wouldn't say water, I am far from basic~ And too toxic “ He admitted before knocking back his glass.


His hairpiece would dangle, making the dice swing as he continued to take her in full stride. Oh, she was definitely warming up to be his type. The twerp may have to run away early this time. “The real question is, are we going to continue with games of flirting or get to the good part? Names Bashmu Hydra, the DTF Taicho of the 13 Court Guard Squads” His introduction was short sweet and to the point, but that also how Bashmu liked it. He could call her beautiful and charm a woman but what was the point? Is it any different than what poor simp state that doesn't have a chance with the woman? Did Bashmu feel he had a chance? Everything in life was a gamble and this woman was about to be his game. His prey!


His violet eyes would await an answer as he motioned for another drink at the bar. His mannerisms seemed delicate but hiding that of someone wicked. Let the games begin because he had all intentions of ending the night with a victory.

It was a good thing Artemis decided to focus her attention on the third seat rather than his red-headed female companion or was it experience? It was due to experience. Artemis had seen her uncle flirt with enough woman to know full well it was not a sight she wanted to watch. She found herself feeling shameful for sharing the same gender as them, and well, she’d rather not witness the man who raised her in a certain light. Artemis was more than glad to have someone chat with her to serve as a distraction. It meant a lot, not that he would know.

As the man complimented her on her last name she smiled, which only grew brighter and wider as he slipped a flask to her. Oh yes! She could burn the sight out of her mind! Her fingers brushed against his own as she sneaked the flask over in front of her pour a good chunk of the liquid into her cocktail. Her eyes shifting from side to side constantly watching to see if Bashmu would show up out of nowhere. Doubtful when he had such eye candy in front of him. Chances were the man forgot Artemis was even there!

”Why thank you~” She hummed at him as she slid the flask discretely back to him. ”For the compliment and the booze. How can I thank you?” This was mostly a joke, but, if asked for something she probably would. Quid Pro Quo. Within reason. ”Pleasure meeting you Isaac Rockford.” She stated raising her corrupted virgin cocktail in the air towards him before taking a sip. This time a new sensation came to her lips as the corruption was noted, the burn to the inside of her mouth gave away the fact it was loaded with booze, and from the taste it was the strong type! Oh… well… he was going to learn she was a lightweight herself. There was a reason Bashmu kept her from drinking, for everyone’s safety (mostly his own though). It was going to take a bit for drunk Artemis to kick in.

Sip soon turned into a gulp, her head tilted back as she let the rest of the drink fall down into her, a mild shake occurring of her head as she straightened herself to gaze at Isaac, a soft “woo” escaped her lips. Her face however showed visible disgust as he spoke about her being Bashmu’s escort. Her mind going to the “bad sense” of the word. Could she be blamed with the type of man he was?

”Uuuugh… nooo… well. Yes to being his Lieutenant but ewwwww. He’s my fathe---- er…. uncle technically.” Artemis explained as she looked at the flirting duo as Isaac did as well. The shift to technology made her eyes brighten as perked up with excitement. ”OH its very fun. Things blow up alot buuuuuuuuut thats the fun part no! Little bit of this and an little bit of that and booom.” It seemed that the booze was beginning to take effect, or well, it could seem that way. ARtemis was like this naturally, booze just made it worse. Oh so worse.

Latching onto Isaac’s arm a bit playfully she looked up at him. ”I could take you sometime. Shhhh… Well show you enough. Some things our for certain eyes only.” Her face frowned though as he stated he was teasing. ”oh… so you aren’t interested.” She pouted as the attention of the red-head was called over. Artemis being the little annoyance she was stuck her tongue out, though it was mostly intended towards Bashmu than it was for the woman.


”I… yes he does alot…” Artemis shuddered as she let go of Isaac’s arm. ”How often not something I try to actually know.”

Artemis did not want to spend the evening talking about her uncle’s conquests. No. She wanted her own fun! She deserved that herself. Why couldn’t she be the center of someones attention? Placing her elbows on the counter she rested her chin in her palms and tilted her head at Isaac. ”Are you a shinigami? I haven’t seen you around so… hmmmmmmmm…. And you don’t know me when I lot of the Seireitei flees at my presence… You aren’t one of the Kenpachi’s officers.” She was trying to get there on her own. Being raised by Bashmu she was quite familiar with quite a few of the squads. There were however a few that were difficult to prank and sneak into.
