Bartender

The smell of alcohol was strong but the first few drinks was great, but every drink seemed to have got weaker to me. "Berry what's the strongest drink you got?" The burgundy mare just shook her head.

"You had six of them already Banjo." Sighing I slammed my head on the counter. "Want another one?" Nodding I listened to the shot glass slide across the counter. The darkened bar was nice to come and enjoy your own company. The other ponies did there own thing
leaving me alone. "You do know I should call the guard on you. Right?" Chuckling I lend back on the bar stool.

"But I'm your best paying ex guard." Berry only nodded walking away taking care of a bat mare sitting next to me.

"What would you like?" The mare hung her head.

"What ever he's having." The mares soft voice rang in my ears.

"Will do." The mare went to put her bits on the counter before I stopped her.

"Its on me, hell its not like I have any other way on spending them." We shared a laugh before everything got serious.

"You said you was a ex guard. What happen?" I downed my shot and looked at the liqueur bottles on the maple shelves behind the bar.

"Well got tired of Celestia's shit so I told her to buck off. Literally, and I left leaving my weapons at the steps of her thrown." Looking threw the mirror hidin behind the bottles to see her head tilt. "I was a ex NLR knight for the untold wars, killed so many changlings and griffins. It was nice." My face was filled with a smile thinking about all the lifes I took.

"So you was night guard? So was I, but times changed and I left." I gave her a simple nod. For a bat pony her gray fur was nice.

"You're not bad looking for a bat pony if I say so myself, but I'm tired of talking proper. Ah don't like this shit." Her face was priceless when my accent came out. "Yea ah ain't from Ponyvile. Ponies call my Everfree." Offering my hoof the mare gave a strong shake.

"Silva." I smiled.

"That's a mighty fine name ma'am." She blushed lightly but it was hard to tell by the way the lighting is.

"Thank you." Turning back facing the bar I saw I had a new drink waiting for my throat.

"Thank ya Berry." Downing the drink I pulled out my dagger and made a small cut in my hoof.

"What are you doing?" Ignoring her I placed my dagger back and grabbed a napkin and started to draw a diagram of a pony.

"What's the place ya would go for?" Silva pointed to the throat. "Good choice."

"What is the point of that?" I quickly ate the napkin making Berry laugh.

"He asks everypony that." Silva nodded. "Want another one Banjo?" Raising my hoof I yelled.

"Bring me two bottles so ah can maybe get drunk for once!" Silva giggled as the two bottles of my moonshine slid to me. "Thank ya my ma'am." Popping open a bottle I started to chug it down making it half way before taking a breath of air. "So want some?" Asking Silva.

"Why not." Holding out her glass I filled it to the rim. "Cheers!" Clanking the glass and bottle together we drank till they where empty. "Gaa!" Silva stuck out her tongue shaking her head.

"Moonshine made by yours truly." I opened the next bottle only to have a hoof stop me.

"Banjo Everfree you are under arrest for the treason of the royal sisters and is sentenced to death." Hearing the guard made me sick.

"Ok this again? Well than." Standing up I broke the empty bottle over the lone guards head knocking him out cold. "Bullshit motherbuckers." Sitting back down I started to drink my next bottle to see Berry staring daggers at me. "He did it! Buck I just want to get drunk and look these assholes come and harass me." Slamming my head on the counter I let out a sigh.

"Banjo you know the rules." Berry said in a gruff tone. Giving a sly smile I gave the best come back.

"Ya know that tone turns me on." Winking to Berry only to have her point to the back room. "Maybe when ah am done talking to miss Silva hun." She gave a nod making me laugh.

"Are you two a item?" Looking back at Silva made me go back to a straight face.

"No we're good friends." She nodded to take a sip of her drink. "Ya have anypony in ya life?" She gave a laugh.

"No I killed him." This made me listen.

"Do explain." She downed her drink and got closer.

"Well he beat me so I." She pulled a dagger to my throat only to have me give a wicked grin.

"Don't play around, if ya are going to do it, do it!" I moved my neck making it cut into my throat. She pulled the knife away with a smile.

"Is that you or your booze?" Sighing I looked at my bottle.

"Oh that's all me." Taking a drink I looked back at Silva. "So you slit his throat. Not bad, personally I would have cut him limb for limb." She laughed.

"We have our own ways I guess."

"But if any creature or pony ever beats ya just come here and I will be more than happy to remove your problem." Her smile was worth everything I just said.

"Who would I ask for?" I gave a simple laugh.

"Banjo, Banjo Moon." Standing up I walked past her to the end of the bar to get Berry's attention. "Ya ready?" She smiled and guided me behind the bar to the back room.

"Banjo Moon?" Silva said before the door shut to the dark room.
