Robins Academy Years Let's Fall In Love for the Night

Lexi sat at the bar sipping her beer slowly. It had been an insane week. All she wanted was to get to the weekend and blow off some which is why she was sitting on a barstool at the Bouncy Albatross. The bar was not a place the trio had ever been to before however as the walked down the street heading to their typical watering hole, Lexi saw the sign and pulled them in. The Bouncy Albatross sign was not the typical electronic display but a hand-carved slab of wood with a wild-eyed bird wearing a pirate hat. As the sign swayed in the night breeze, it produced a small squeaking sound which when bounded off the various buildings on the street made it at times far louder than it should have been. Lexi used this fact to claim it was a sign that they should go it. Not only was the bar physically calling them to its doors, Lexi declared that the very name was proof that they should hang out here tonight.

Entering the bar, the trio was surprised at the decor. Every inch of the establishment was covered in wood giving the place a feeling of being on an old sea vessel. The interior felt almost oppressive when compared to the sleek and modern bar they had been heading towards. The room was a long rectangle with the bar along one wall and a small stage at the end opposite the entrance. The stage was simple with just an elevated dias, stool, and microphone. Obviously the entertainment tonight would be acoustical music. Lexi wasn’t overly fond of the style but it beat the funky pop tempos of the popular clubs most cadets frequented.

Spying a small bar height table, Lexi grabbed Chris’ hand weaving them through the small crowds of people mingling about. Taking a seat, she beamed a smile at Chris and Ian. “Oh my God, this place is great! Past the bird, the word albatross is something or someone that is causing you great problems you can’t avoid. Luckily Noah would not be caught dead here so maybe I can do what I actually want to rather than worrying about him popping up.” Rising up on her stool she held up three fingers and yelled out to the waitress for a round of shots.
