Outside the Caritas

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Contractors are hard at work putting together Lorne's new place. Hammering and saw noises can be heard inside. A sign hangs above the establishment that reads:

Caritas!
Grand Opening Friday!

Lorne sits in a director's chair outside of the fracas screaming into his cell phone. He has a cigarette in one hand and a thermos full of Sea Breezes sitting on the arm of his chair.

"Damn it Tino! When I said I wanted red velvet I didn't want something that looks like some sort of brothel house reject! I want something tasteful. Think Norma Jean, not Monroe. Elegant. Not trashy. Get your act together baby or I'm shipping you back to Pittsburgh..."

Next to him is a sign that says:

Now Hiring/Auditioning:
Wait Staff
House Band

Yes! But of course he and Angela can't be in the same place at the same time onscreen, because the space-time continuum would fracture.

*smooches Lorne for thinking of it.*

Bless you dollface! Tino will be my little manservant/whipping boy. If I abuse him in any way, please make sure to tell me so I do not anger the Gods of MSCL]

Drawn by the sounds of noise and construction, Jarod wandered over to observe the activity. He was a bit surprised by the appearance of the man (?) in the director's chair, but decided to go with it until he heard otherwise.

He waited patiently for the green individual to be finished with his phone call.

Lorne clicks off his cell phone and cocks an eyebrow ant the man standing before him.

"About time you got here. Where's that Phad Thai I ordered? And if you forgot the spring rolls I don't care how adorable your eyebrows look, you're going back to get them and you can choke on the tip."

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod was now extremely confused and probably looked it. "Excuse me? What's Pad Thai? And spring rolls? I was here about the job?"

He gestured to the sign, then offered his hand. "I'm Jarod."

After her classes are over, Rogue slips in the bar, looking around nervously. Since Gandalf had left, her TA job was no more, and she needed some extra cash. This seemed like a good place to work.

"Um, Sir? I heard you're taking applications for waitresses?"

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Lorne sizes the girl up and down. "That so? You ever wait tables before sweetie?"

[marieann-d.livejournal.com]

Rogue's eyes go a little wide at the sight of Lorne. Yes, she used to go to school with kids who could turn into organic steel and a blue man with a tail, but it was still a shock the first time.

"Um, yes. Not for too long though. Only for 'bout a month a year or so ago." She smiles, regaining her mental balance. "But I'm a quick learner, and a hard worker. I'm willin' to do dishes and stuff too."

(ooc: Tino's been shopping at Deb's?)

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

((OOC:Deb dropped in on Lorne & Red this morning chatting. I made a joke about Red Velvet and it just went from there. Tino is strictly a never-seen NPC, so I was just playing it.))

[deadly_little]

(ooc: Gotcha. I just thought that brothel-castoff red velvet sounded familiar.)

During his wanderings around town after his meeting with Red, Boone spots the fracas outside what appears to be a new business opening up. Catching sight of a green..skinned..man, Aaron halts in his tracks, trying not to stare, but edging closer in a mixture of curiousity and disbelief.

This town is positively crawling with the Breed, but there's no feeling of cohesion, which puzzles him.

Trying to be unobtrusive, he watches the green man yammer into his cell phone.

After finishing his project for shop class, Bridge wanders downtown.

He spots the "Now Hiring" sign and bounces over to Lorne excitedly.

"Hey-" he stops himself before saying 'dude' "I heard you're hiring?" He pauses for a moment. "Well, when I say heard, what I meant was I saw the sign sitting there next to you, and so really, I saw that you're hiring, not heard, and, um... yes."

John wanders in, conveniently around town cuz the mun likes easy plot points and walks into Caritas. It's a nice homey place, with a bit of a 40s louge vibe. Very nice. He wanders in far enough to see a figure in a director's chair, from behind.

He doesn't yet notice the horns. Or the green skin. Construction's going on and he's distracted.

"Uh, hello?"
