(OOC: I decided to start an RP with Sheldon outside work. Anyone can join in.)
Sheldon Hawkes entered the bar and nodded at the other usual customers that were milling around or just sitting. He weaved his way to the bar and sat down, ordering a beer.
He sipped his drink, watching the people moving around. After a hard day working, Hawkes enjoyed taking the time to unwind and have a few drinks. Lucky for him, he lived close to a bar. Not having to travel too far raised the appeal of sitting in the noisy room.
He stared around the bar, sipping slowly, and allowing his thoughts to wander from place to place.

"Well Sheldon, what a day, what a day". Luke Versteeg decided to go to the bar as well. He knew this was Sheldon's favourite place. "This sure is a nice place". Luke ordered a beer as well. "You like you've got something on your mind. What is it, a girl? something about work? Or are you just dreaming away, haha?"

Hawkes looked up as his colleague sat down. He gave him a smile and nodded, taking a sip of his beer. Versteeg was sitting beside him, gazing around at the place. It appeared to be his first time there, and Hawkes smiled to himself.
"Yeah, it's a nice place. Great for unwinding,' Hawkes answered. He skipped over the dreaming question, not too eager to divulge his thoughts.

Just then Doreen Messer came in the bar too, looking confused. She looked around, shrugged, went to the counter and ordered a light beer. Sipping it, she looked around; not aware that her colleagues, Luke Versteeg and Sheldon Hawkes, were there too.

"Hey..I think there is another collague here", Luke Versteeg said to Sheldon and nodded Doreen's way. I've never seen her this dressed up before." He waved her way, but Doreen still didn't see them.

Hawkes glanced around at Luke's words and noticed Doreen. Luke was right, he'd never seen her that dressed up before. He watched as Luke waved to Doreen, seeing that she didn't respond.
"Hmmm. What's up with the outfit?" Hawkes mused, out loud.

Doreen heard a familiar voice. "That sounds like Hawkes" she thought. She turned and she was right. There he was sitting with Luke. She waved at them and joined them at their table.
"Heard your comment," she told them. They looked at her clothes questioningly; looking almost confused. She laughed at them. "For your info, the reason I'm all dressed up is because I just got back from a date." She looked at them and they looked even more confused. She just shook her head in amusement and continued sipping her drink.

Luke could not resist to ask: "Was it a succesfull date? I guess not, since, well, you're here without him." Luke knew Doreen wouldn't take this question as innapropiate.

Doreen laughed a small laugh before downing down the rest of her beer.
"You really wanna know?" she asked them.
Hawkes and Luke nodded.
"Well, that guy was a jerk. He kept on staring at every woman who passes by so I just decided to dump him right there. That's when I decided to drop by this bar since I never really came here." She looked around the bar.
"I like it here," she said. "The beer's great, the atmospehre's warm and friendly. Plus, I get to hang out with my collagues."

"He sounds like a real prize," Hawkes laughed. He emptied his glass and set it down, waiting for the bartender to come around.
"Yeah, this place is fun. If you stay long enough you can watch people stumble outside, or forget that the door's closed," Hawkes joked. He was exaggerating, merely reinforcing his own rule of stop before you can't in his mind.
The bartender arrived and Hawkes got his second beer, sipping it slower than he had the first.

"Really?"said Doreen, laughing. She called towards the bartender and asked for another drink; this time ice-cold mineral water. She drank the water in a gulp and held the sides of her head.
"Eurgh," she groaned. "Brain freeze."

Luke smiled. "Y'know, in Holland we have this saying: 'Er zwemmen meer vissen in de zee'. It means: 'there are more fishes swimming in the sea'. The right guy will bite the lure, Doreen.
Luke was observing the way the place was designed. It's great how they were able to combine the old fashioned with the modern style, without making it look tacky or forced. He also ordered his second drink. Since he had to show up at work the next morning, and did not want his wife to complain about his snoring this night, he ordered a coke.

Sheldon stifled a snicker at Luke's words and continued to sip his drink. He set the glass down for a moment and just stared at it.
"You ever second guess your work?" he asked, to no one in particular. It was a question he had asked himself the day he resigned as a surgeon. The question that had stopped popping into his head since he started cutting up dead people. "'Cause I don't."
He finished with an enthusiastic gulp of his drink and then flashed a smile at his colleagues.

Luke thought for a while. "Always. But I make sure that I stick with the assumptions that I make. In this profession, it's best to assume nothing. But I prefer to believe the science, and stick to the science until it is proved otherwise. But in the back of my head, I go over the numbers of alternate possibilities. So yes, I second guess my work, even though I shouldn't."
Luke took a big sip of his coke and was interested by the subject of this conversation.

Sheldon mused over this for a moment, staring at his empty glass. He ocassionally glanced over at his company, trying to decide what to say.
"Anyone up for a game of pool?" he asked, finally. He jumped quickly up off his stool and motioned towards the pool table at the back of the bar.
