Midnight walked along the path her cart creaking a bit behind her. Using her horn to illuminate the path before her as she went towards a building. She could hear rowdy ponies loudly voicing opinions on being tougher or better. Some whistling at her as she went towards a place to park her cart. A stallion coming up to ask her to help "Oh come on sweetie let a tough stallion help you with your cart. I am sure you could repay me with a kiss." he chuckled a bit as Midnight twitched some. Just cause she was a unicorn didnt mean she was weak or couldnt handle a fight if need be. She learned fighting at the kingdom to help Arid with...unwanted guests and when Defiant wasn't around
"Oh how sweet of you...here let me show you my appreciation." she got to a spot, unhooked her cart and looked at the stallion "Pucker up and close your eyes...I'll give you a kiss to remember." the stallion in his drunken stupor did so puckering his lips as he closed his eyes. Midnight rear back her left hoof and belted him right in the face before turning and using her right to belt him again sending him to the ground hard "Anypony else want a kiss? Noo?" she moved a bit of her mane from her face smiling sweetly as the other ponies were laughing at the stallion "Anypony touch my cart...you'll be in the ground." she wasnt having a good day at all from the sound of it. She hit a limit of ponies ridiculing her tarot readings, giving her weird looks, and avoiding her. There were a few nice ones but, it was getting on her nerve at how piggish the stallions were towards her
Walking into the bar she looked around as there was music in the air and ponies chatting away...some playing cards as others drank. She went over towards the bar getting there she rested her hooves on it as she laid her head down "I only have 7 bits..what would that get me?" she said moving her saddle bag up to get them out as she didnt see who was around her "Just want something if that would be alright it's been stressful today."

Low Key took out a damp rag and began wiping down the counter. With the money earned from the other night, management had bought a whole bunch of new equipment that made his life many times easier. For one, he now had a uniform. It was just a simple bow tie and waistcoat, but he enjoyed the fallacious air of class it gave him. Fortunately, he had been able to avoid getting too much on it, so he still enjoyed wearing it.
Hearing the door creaking, he glanced up to see who it was, expecting a regular. Instead, it was somepony new. In fact, it was the fortune teller pony that he had talked to the other day! As she approached, Low Key flashed her warm smile, "Hey there! I didn't expect to see you in here."
As Midnight placed the bits on the counter and stated her predicament, Low Key gave her a good choice, "Well, lots of things, actually. A basic, non-cocktail drink is two bits, so it all depends on exactly how drunk you're planning on getting."

Lifting her head a bit to see Low Key there, in a waist coat and bow tie? He was a bartender not a musician no wonder his life spiraled out of control lately "Oh it is you, see you tidied up quite nicely." she began to lift up a bit before readjusting herself at the bar "The day I had was worth the trip. I should be using these bits for food. You were generous in your tip funny how it seems to have made it back to you." she grinned before looking towards the door a second "By the way one of your patrons had...a nasty spill outside. Likely concussion or broken bones. I do hope the poor dear is alright." she giggled before looking at Key
"Non-Cocktail? No no sweetie I want straight up whiskey." she began to sigh a bit rubbing her temples a bit "I am more of a wine fan personally but, when things stress me out the nice taste of whiskey helps me unwind." she set her hoof atop the bar looking at Key's outfit in it's whole before shaking her head "You should untie the bow tie."

Low Key cocked his eyebrow at Midnight's critique of his outfit. He rather liked it, thank you very much, and nopony short of management was telling him otherwise. Bow ties were classy as fuck and he was going to wear it until everypony agreed.
As she told him about the patron outside, he shook his head, "Happens all the time around here. I'm sure he can get himself to the hospital."
His horn then lights up as he plucks a bottle of Applejack Daniels off the wall behind him. He also brings up a shot glass and puts two cubes of ice in, filling the glass with a full shot of whiskey. He places it before and logs her order on her tab.
"So, I guess it's my turn to hear your insecurities," Low Key teased, smiling warmly. "What happened that made you require a shot of whiskey?"

"You would look cute with it untied you know. Or with a tie..." she leaned over the bar and reached a hoof out "So a cute mare could grab it and pull you close." she grinned a bit before sighing moving her hoof down to the whiskey. Using her magic to take the ice out of it, lifting the glass up she took a sip from it enjoying the taste of it "Sorry just..teasing. The bow tie is nice you clean up very well." she began to move the glass around letting the whiskey swirl around in it "After your reading I was worn. It takes a lot out of me mentally sometimes to the point of wanting to sleep an entire day."
She began to look at her drink as her eyes seemed to be lost thinking bout the day "I began to pack up..and a pair of ponies came over calling me names. That didn't bother me, never did never will. They tried to take my box with my tarot cards and necklace. I fought them and got it back...but, I am sure it wasnt very welcoming of a new pony in town beating up a couple of residents."

Low Key recoiled and blushed at Midnight's flirting. Sure, more than a few mares had tried to promise him sexual favors in exchange for free drinks, and in spite of his physical needs and submissive nature, he was able to keep professional and turn them all down. The thought of having a mare forcibly grabbing him by his bow tie and pulling him close, though...No! Professionalism, Mr. Key, I insist!
He listened to Midnight tell about getting assaulted by the hooligans and shook his head in disgust. When she was done, he said, "You did what you had to do, I just hope they don't try one-upping you."

"Well you know if they try they will regret it when I am not mentally numb." she began to chuckle a bit before tilting her head back finishing off the drink in one large gulp "May I have another shot please?" she began to lean over the bar towards Low Key "How have you been since your reading? You left in quite the huff about Claire and not getting to be her knight." she began to smile as she leaned her head to the side looking into Key's eyes careful not to read him "Your eyes though...seem more clear then they did earlier."
As she waited on her drink she began to use her magic to cast magic to levitate the ice up and rub it on her temple a bit "Owie..sorry if I seem a bit..off. I have a rather large headache and need to unwind so much. Perhaps you could help?"

Low Key picks up the bottle with his magic again and refills Midnight's shot glass. As he adds another tick to the tab, he says, "Don't worry about me, I've gotten over it. I thought about what you said, and I realized that you were right about Claire - there really was no way it would have worked out. At most, I would have been merely an accessory to her." He sets the bottle down and looks away, careful to hide his eyes from her as he says this, "I guess it's back to square one for me, then."
When he notices that she is in pain, he asks her, "Oh, sure, what can I do?"

Getting the whiskey she began to sip it before looking at him turn away saying square one "You know that if you went with her you would of ended up dead before your time. Missed the path that was opened to you." she smiled a bit as she stayed leaning on the bar as she moved the ice along her temple still "Well you could help me if you had some quarts crystal. Also if you took break soon you could show this mare a nice time by offering her a dance." she giggled as she moved the ice down to the bar top
Inside her head she was tossing back and forth between just...having a quick fling or flirting with this bartender. Then again it had been a bit but, he was a horse that seemed fragile when it came to things

Low Key's eyes went wide when he heard Midnight's proposition. It was just going to be a single dance, right? His mind was currently in turmoil trying comprehend any hidden agendas behind her words. Assuming that what he assumed she was asking of him was something more than just a dance, his heart started pounding, his ears started to blush as well as his cheeks, and the entire bar seemed to warm up by a few degrees. His mind was quick to reel his body in as he assured himself that it was just a dance and nothing more.
Low Key remembers that she had asked a question earlier and focuses on giving her an answer, "Well, uh, we do have glasses which may possibly be made out of quartz? Otherwise, if you're looking for actual crystals, we don't have them here."
Just as he is about to go back into silence, he tentatively says, "And, um, I'm taking a break in a few minutes."

"Oh yes please one of those at once.." seeing his ears and face turning red she began to grin leaning back down from the bar as she drank down the other shot of whiskey in a gulp "Well fetch the glass if you please then a dance..perhaps you could put on a show with your bass I am sure there are other musicians around tonight." she moved her hoof up to the counter and tapped on it a bit "I havent had a night like this in a bit."
As she closed her eyes a bit she visibly twitched at the pain in her head "The glass though...fetch it for me quickly. Otherwise how can I enjoy being treated to a dance if I am holding my head the entire time?"

Low Key reached under the counter and pulled out crystal champagne glass. It obviously looked like it was meant for the more expensive cocktails. He places it on the counter and chuckles, "I'll need to wait to find a band first before I go up on stage. I might put my name in as a freelancer for any bands starting out, but I don't know of many."
Then he remembers the glass and looks at Midnight quizzically, "If I can ask, exactly what are you going to do with it?"

"Send a letter to your friend and ask how they are holding up. You may get an answer faster that way remember." she began to look at the champagne flute and grabbed hold of it with one hoof "I promise it will be safe to use after this. Crystals are so much better cause all I need to do let them sit in the full moon light a night. This will take a soak in salt water and a night in the moonlight."
Holding the flute up to her horn she began to move it down it as it sparked a bit. Getting to her forehead she held it there as it began to change from crystal clear getting a bit darker in color. She softly spoke out "oscuridad" meaning darkness as she did the glass turned black as she set it down on the counter before Keys "Do be careful with this, dont break it just let it soak in salt water if you can get it from the ocean or sea be the best. Or a cup of salt dissolved in a bucket of water...let it sit in the full moon's light and it will dispel."

Low Key took the flute from her with his magic, holding it at arms length as he sets it off to the side, "I have lots of salt for making margaritas, so I'm sure I'd be able to do that tonight. Anyway, what exactly did you do?"
He also spares a look around and says, "Also, if you're looking for a dance, we're not that busy right now, but explanations first."

"Hmm oh I took the negative energy and dark thoughts and released them into the quartz. It takes away my headache and is basically clearing the mind of all the negative energy around me. When your reading happened and your soul was stifled and your thoughts were dark I felt it. Not your fault it happens in readings, this is just a way to release it safely and dispel it." she watched as he was using his magic to keep it away and set it aside "You could touch it, it wont do anything it is trapped. Break it or crack it and it releases." she began to get up using her head to point at the floor "Well shouldn't the gentlecolt take the new girl for her dance?"
