Caritas: Open

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Lorne opens up the doors for Caritas and takes his position behind the bar.

The Zombie Band is in rare form tonight... especially since the drummer got a new head.

Bar: [1/9]

Drink up!

"Bloody Mary, please," Darla requests.

Lorne turns and sees Darla and scowls slightly. "I've only got the kind with Tomato juice. Plus no one who works here is named Mary. You still want it?"

"Excuse me, Darla, I have a delivery for you (http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/8797/1120z3mj.jpg)."

There is no card attached.

Nadia, deciding she needed a reward for surviving her first class ever (and shop class, to boot), headed for Caritas once she'd finished going back to her dorm room and crashing and watching tv.

A girl needs to take time to relax as well as drink, after all.

She waves to the green guy. "Rum and coke?"

Lorne gives the new girl a smile. "Hey there Kitten! First day of classes? How'd they go?"

Ivanova would have preferred Spike's, but it was closed. So after a very long, brain-hurting day of classes, off to the bar it was. No singing for her tonight.

"Vodka, please. In any way, shape, or form."

Re: Bar: [1/9]

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

"One vodka pumpkin..." Lorne pours a shot of vodka that he pulled from the freezer. Ice cold, undiluted.

"Gimme a beer, please," Logan said.

Re: Bar: [1/9]

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

"Welllll.... My favorite singer. You here to favor me with another tune?" Lorne asks as he pulls a beer from the tap and places in front of Logan.

The Doctor wanders in, hair slightly askew, and orders his usual whisky.

Re: Bar: [1/9]

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Lorne served it up in his usual chipper manner. "Evening Doc. Haven't seen you in a while."

Lounge: [1/9]

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Sit! Snuggle! Snark!

Re: Lounge: [1/9]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica smiles as she leads Weevil into Caritas. "So this is it," she says.

Re: Lounge: [1/9]

[dontcallmeeli.livejournal.com]

Weevil glances around the bar. "Interesting place..."

Re: Lounge: [1/9]

[fh_jackass]

Logan sat down in the lounge with his beer.

Re: Lounge: [1/9]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

After leaving Weevil and Lorne to talk, Veronica noticed Logan and went over to talk to him.

"For someone who doesn't ever sing, you spend an awful lot of time in a karaoke bar," she said, sitting down next to him.

Re: Lounge: [1/9]

[vampire-darla.livejournal.com]

Darla lurked in the lounge all evening, but since Veronica was always called "V" or "Rhonda" she never recognized her as the girl Bel had told her to keep an eye out for.

Sing!

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

The band knows every song...

Re: Sing!

[spoken]
Is she really going out with him?
Well, there she is. Let's ask her
Betty, is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing?
Mm-hmm
Gee, it must be great riding with him
Is he picking you up after school today?
Uh-uh
By the way, where'd you meet him?

After the intro, Veronica begins to sing, grinning at Weevil with a mischevious glint in her eye.

I met him at the candy store
He turned around and smiled at me
You get the picture? (yes, we see)
That's when I fell for (the leader of the pack)

My folks were always putting him down (down, down)
They said he came from the wrong side of town
(whatcha mean when ya say that he came from the wrong side of town?)
They told me he was bad
But I knew he was sad
That's why I fell for (the leader of the pack)

One day my dad said, find someone new
I had to tell my Jimmy we're through
(whatcha mean when ya say that ya better go find somebody new?)
He stood there
and asked me why
But all I could do was cry
I'm sorry I hurt you (the leader of the pack)

[spoken]
He sort of smiled and kissed me goodbye
The tears were beginning to show
As he drove away on that rainy night
I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard, I'll never know

Look out! Look out! Look out! Look out!

I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we'd been through
In school they all stop and stare
I can't hide the tears, but I don't care
I'll never forget him (the leader of the pack)

The leader of the pack - now he's gone
The leader of the pack - now he's gone
The leader of the pack - now he's gone
The leader of the pack - now he's gone

Weevil couldn't believe he was doing this. All because of Veronica's damn head tilt. He shook his head and grinned at her before beginning.

On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder, at the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up, and she said leave this one alone
She could tell right away, that I was bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone

I broke a thousand hearts, before I met you
I'll break a thousand more baby, before I am through
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone

I make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman squeal
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone

Logan's eyes widened when he saw who was on stage. Then he started laughing.

Re: Sing!

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

Lorne hops on the stage and the lighting immediately changes to suit his clothes and skin tone.

He bows to the crownd and then announces: "Para mi pequeño amigo querido Nadia!"

He motions to the bad, and a latin rhythm begins...


Mi Buenos Aires querido,
cuando yo te vuelva a ver,
no habra mas penas ni olvido.
El farolito de la calle en que naci
fue el centinela de mis promesas de amor,
bajo su inquieta lucecita yo la vi
a mi pebeta luminosa como un sol.
Hoy que la suerte quiere que te vuelva a ver,
ciudad porteña de mi unico querer,
y oigo la queja
de un bandoneón,
dentro del pecho pide rienda el corazón.

Mi Buenos Aires
tierra florida
donde mi vida terminaré.
Bajo tu amparo
no hay desengaños,
vuelan los años
se olvida el dolor.
En caravana
los recuerdos pasan
como una estela
dulce de emoción,
quiero que sepas
que al evocarte
se van las penas
del corazon.

Las ventanitas de mis calles de arrabal,
donde sonrie una muchachita en flor;
quiero de nuevo yo volver a contemplar
aquellos ojos que acarician al mirar.
En la cortada mas maleva una canción,
dice su ruego de coraje y de pasion;
una promesa
y un suspirar
borro una lagrima de pena aquel cantar.

Mi Buenos Aires querido...
cuando yo te vuelva a ver...
no habra mas penas ni olvido...

Nadia, still seated at the bar, grins openly and applauds with great enthusiasm.

The Doctor licks his lips and starts...

Took a look down a westbound road, right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two wheeler, I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains and just rolled that power on

Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks and I told her what I'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing, I knew what she was thinking

Roll, roll me away, won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed, and I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
We never even said a word, we just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight

We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin' free
Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone, oh

Stood alone on a mountain top, starin' out at the Great Divide
I could go east, I could go west, it was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flying and my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singing

Roll, roll me away, I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rolling, gotta keep riding, keep searching 'til I find what's right
And as the sunset faded I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time
We'll get it right

Roll me away
