CARITAS--Wednesday--OPEN

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod opened the bar, still thinking about the phone call with Parker and his discussion with Callisto the day before.

He waved to the band and picked up a used copy of Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter, thinking about grand gestures. He really didn't want to lead a parade through town on his way to his own hanging. He'd have to come up with something better.

Jarod sighed and took the stage, then signalled the band. Slow, quiet bluesy music started playing. Jarod's voice was decent, but he wouldn't be asked to record anytime soon.

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

(whistle)

Orlin claps, he liked music, but he was not nearly comfortable enough singing in frount of more then one person. He paused, actually, he was not sure he had actually ever sung before period.
Orlin stops clapping, it was enough clapping.

It had been a long and fairly uneventful day, except for the guy who wanted to heat himself with power-rays. She really just wanted to socialize with something that wasn't a metal construct she made herself.

"Hello Mr. Jarod" She totally failed to remember his last name, if he even gave it to her. But at least it was someone she knew for a change.

"Any chance i could get something with a lot of fruit juice and a very very small amount of alcohol in it?"

Re: The Bar

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Just Jarod, Agatha," he said, smiling. "What kind of fruit juice and alcohol would you like? We've got anything you could think of."

Re: The Bar

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

"Alright JustJarod." She smiled back. "Hm. I have no idea. Something citrus-like for the juice, and you know i never know the names of alcoholic things. Something, anything. I have had a mostly boring day, mostly bereft of human interaction." She adjusted her glasses. "One of THOSE days, you know?"

Re: The Bar

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"I do indeed, although I don't mind the boredom after last weekend," Jarod replied, mixing her a weak screwdriver and setting it in front of her, complete with jaunty paper umbrella. "So, what do you know about grand gestures?"

Re: The Bar

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

"All in all, after it is over, last weekend was sort of fun actually. Next time i will be prepared, there will be a flamethrower, oh yes." She looked at the umbrella, took it out of her drink, and having licked any bit of drink of it's stem put it in her hair. It looked exceedingly dorky.

"Grand gestures? Like in theater, or like when you are making a point to someone? Or some other kind?"

Pippi hopped up onto a barstool and ordered a "really long island iced-tea".

Re: The Bar

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? That's a pretty serious alcoholic drink."

Re: The Bar

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I can handle it..." she said quietly. "But you can make it a very small island ice tea if you think it's best."

Re: The Bar

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod mixed a very small long island iced tea and set it in front of Pippi. "Is everything okay?"

Lorne settles down in the lounge and has a long sip of his sea breeze.

Re: The Lounge

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod wandered over. "Lorne, do you have a few minutes?"

Re: The Lounge

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

"Anytime Jerry! What can I do for you my dear boy!"

Re: The Lounge

"Parker's not talking to me," Jarod said, putting his hands in his pockets. "I helped a guy play a joke on her and she took it very personally."

Orlin sat and observed the room, "Can I get another Corona please?" He asked politely as Jarod as he came by doing bar keeping duties like wiping the counter with his bar rag thingy.

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Jarod said, replacing the empty bottle with another one, complete with lime. He was very definitely preoccupied with something.

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Orlin says, noticing that Jared had barely even heard him, "I know I may be crossing some human line, but, is something bothering you? Sometimes an unbiased ear can help." He smiled encouragingly.

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Huh?" Jarod shook his head. "Oh, no, thanks. Just something I'm working out for myself."

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

Orlin smiled sadly,

"I f you are sure, I have all the knowledge of the universe and there is probably something in there that can help..." He paused and mentally re-adgested his mind frame, "Or I did, now its slightly fragmented."

He looked at Jarod hopefully.
