Sabrina spun the tunes, but who made Immi cry?

It's been a while since the folk who call Hale's Moon home have had a chance to have a party. Most of the time, people are too busy to think about it. They drop into Fook's pretty regularly for drinks or a bite, but the townsfolk usually don't have the time or inclination to stay there and be social.

Last night, we gave them a party. Or, rather, 'Brina did. Set up her portably music rig in Fook's and started feeding it into the bar's sound system. With Speaker off doing, well, whatever the hell it is he does when he's not on Hale's - probably Jade - Lilia set up behind the bar and got a wave out on the Cortex for anyone in the area to come on by and enjoy the impromptu show.

Fook's isn't Firefly's. Never will be. Much different atmosphere, and their claim to being the Friendliest Bar in the 'Verse is safe. They really are like the spirit of Cheers. Only with guns. Fook's caters to a different crowd. More bar and grill than bar and strip club, but it's the folk that make a place, and a lot of the folk that showed up to hear 'Brina's set were the same folk who make Firefly's what it is.

Even Nack turned up, and it's a rare sight to see him off Blackburne.

Was pretty pleased with the turnout. Brought in a little coin, and people seemed to have a lot of fun. Even Jin got out on the floor and Danced with Imrhien for a bit, and I danced with 'Brina like I always do. Even Lily got out on the floor to do a bit of dancing.

"Yes, Ben. My little sister is hot. Be nice to her."

Immi, dear Immi, spent a chunk of time trying on dresses to get our opinions for an upcoming date, and then changing frantically back into her usual clothes when Td showed up. I was pretty much ignoring them, dancing with 'Brina, when Td pulled out a ricepaper scroll with a couple staple holes in it and showed it to Immi before reading the Haiku on it aloud to the bar.

Precious perfect soul
If you ever make her cry
I will make you cry

Td figured it was someone warning him off Imrhien, while Nack figure it was more of a traditional warning than a note of disapproval. I just danced with 'Brina, not figuring it was my place to comment.

It was a fun night, though by the end, when 'Brina and I were getting ready to head off to the boat for bed (if not sleep), Td and Immi exchanged some words none of us were ken to. Few minutes later he took off, and not too long after Imrhien left Fook's in tears. I don't know what was said or done to cause it, and we couldn't do anything to try and make it better before she was gone. But it left me with one burning question.

Did you make her cry?
