The Band - [12/22]

Sing your heart out

Re: The Band - [12/22]

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

The song is one of his favorites, and it is highly appropriate for his mood of late. He's working his way out of that somber mood, but it still lingers in spots.

He enjoys Lorne's performance just the same, and taps his foot with the beat, mouth moving with the words he knows well.

The Bar - [12/22]

Have Tino get you a drink

Angela can't think of anything better to do in town, so she finds her way to the barstool again and orders a Cosmipolitan.

Tino gives her A Look and refuses to serve her the drink.

She settles for a diet Coke.

Rory strode in with a bag over her shoulder, and spotted the...odd-looking Angela.

"Angela?" she asked, approaching her.

Re: The Bar - [12/22]

[chasingangela]

"Yes," said Angela, who was starting to get used to being recognized by people she didn't know, almost.

"Rory, right? Is that my stuff?"

Re: The Bar - [12/22]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"It is," Rory nodded, handing over the bag. "And yeah, I'm Rory." She frowned. "So, Marty told me you're not...our Angela. Which makes sense, because you look different. But you know who I am?"

Re: The Bar - [12/22]

[chasingangela]

"Kind of," Angela explains. "I'm from a different ... universe, or stream of time, or something. I don't know the science bit."

"But in my world, you're someone I went to eleventh grade with for about three weeks. I remember that you were really nice, and I kind of recoggnized you, but as far as I know I hadn't seen you in ten years."

She sighs, playing with her straw. "None of this makes sense to me."

"Yeah, that's bizarre," Rory said, arching a brow. "Because you - sixteen year-old you, I mean - were just here yesterday. And now you're older and..." She bit her lip. "What's the first thing you remember after...um, getting here, I guess?"

GOB walked into Caritas, figuring that he might be able to get in some practice with card tricks at the bar. Or, more likely, he might just get drunk. Both were fine by him.

And then he saw the woman at the bar. "Hello there," he said, walking up to Angela.

Re: The Bar - [12/22]

[chasingangela]

Angela smiles. "Hi."

She is looking to Rory for some clue as to whetehr she ought to know this guy.

Re: The Bar - [12/22]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory shrugged. She didn't know who this weirdo was either.

Re: The Bar - [12/22]

"My name's GOB. I'm the club's entertainer." GOB pulled a deck of cards out of his pocket thin air and fanned them out. "Pick a card."

Re: The Bar - [12/22]

[chasingangela]

"I'm Angela," Angela says warily. Maybe this is a custom here?

She pulls out a card.

Re: The Bar - [12/22]

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"Let's see..." GOB said, holding the rest of the deck to his head. "Is it the Queen of Hearts?"

"GOB! Look at you standing there without a drink in your hand. I'll have to fix that for you right away..."

He'd done a little shopping in town, and decided to stop by Caritas before heading home. He'd heard good things about the bar, but hadn't found time to drop in. Tonight seemed as good a night as any, and he went to the bar, ordered a glass of the finest scotch, on the rocks.

He settled in a chair to nurse his drink and soak in the atmosphere. He's pain free and feeling pretty good in general, if still a little out of sorts about certain things.

Lorne enters the bar, late as usual and starts checking in on his customers.

"Evening good sir! Can I freshen your drink?"

Re: The Bar - [12/22]

[gotcanewillpoke.livejournal.com]

He take the final sip to finish off his scotch. "I'll take a coke, if it's not too much trouble."

Re: The Bar - [12/22]

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

"Coming up. Don't believe I've seen you in here before. The name's Krevlornswath of the Deathwok clan, though I just go by Lorne. I'm the owner, lead singer and head bartender here at Caritas."

Lorne offers up a coke.

"Most of the kids go for a couple of cherries in their drinks, but you don't seem the type."

Re: The Bar - [12/22]

[gotcanewillpoke.livejournal.com]

"No, cherries won't be necessary. Greg House. I work at the clinic at the school. First time, tonight. I don't make it in to town after dark very often." House takes a sip of the coke.

The Lounge - [12/22]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Relax. Hang out. Mock the singers.

Re: The Lounge - [12/22]

[flash-serpent.livejournal.com]

A wee girl with wings and scales slips inside the door and sits quietly in a corner by the entrance watching the people drink and smile and sing. Some faces she recognizes. After a while, she turns and leaves, satified that this is a haven of safety and chalks it up to the angel's active influence.

OOC - [12/22]

Veronica isn't working tonight - but since I know Lorne is afk and he didn't put up the OCD threads, I'm helping out ;)
