Caritas--Wednesday--Openish

After receiving an early morning phone call from a traumatized Tino about Lorne's abrupt departure, Jarod made his way over to Caritas, where he spent the day trying to understand the bar's recordkeeping system, the ordering and bookkeeping, and the magic.

$400 a week to keep the zombie band in fresh brains? He had no idea whether that was expensive or not. Maybe he'd ask Veronica. $1000 a quarter for sanctuary spell maintainence seemed a bit steep as well. Hmmm.

As for the bar itself? Without Lorne, it seemed to have lost some of its sparkle and luster.

[ooc: No readings, obviously, but anyone who wants to come in and drink, sing, hang out, or ~~buy something for shop class~~ is welcome. Also? This is a morning/afternoon/early evening post. I'll make another Caritas post later. ~~Fear the OCD.~~]

It's acapella until the band shows up later.

For drinking, either alcoholic or non-alcoholic

Because sometimes people just need a place to hang out, you know?

For pinging, questions, or OOC commentary.

After sixth period, John heads into town in attempt to find some of his survival kit stuff. Caritas might have the first thing he's looking for...

"Afternoon!"

Jarod looked up and smiled. "Afternoon! What can I get you?"

"Hmm." John pulls out his gift card thingy. "I'm doing this thing for a class and was wondering if you sold matchbooks? Maybe?"

"Sell them?" Jarod shook his head. "No, but we've got some extra ones behind the bar, if you want a couple." He slid a couple across to John.

"Oh, thanks!" John takes the packets and pockets them. "I owe you one, dude. And your singing rocked the other night."

"If you don't mind my asking, what do you need them for?" Jarod grinned a bit sheepishly. "Thanks. It was more of a last resort kind of thing. Parker's stubborn when she wants to be."

"I don't mind," John says. "Class project thingy. Gotta find five things to put in a survival kit. I figure I bring matchbooks so I can have fire until, if I was stranded, I could learn to make fire without the matches. Kind of a crutch."

"And yes, she's definitely stubborn. You doing anything for her for Valentine's Day?"

"Survival kit, huh? What class is this for?"

Jarod looked a bit confused. "Why would I do anything for Parker for Valentine's Day?"

"Shop," John tells him. "With Professor Macgyver who used to have a mullet."

"Um, because you care about her?"

"I don't think I've met him yet. What's a mullet?" He considered John's statement as he poured himself a soda, offering one to John. "I'm not sure. Well, I mean, I know I care about her, but isn't Valentine's Day more for people who love each other? Which, I guess we do, but not like that...at least I don't think so, despite what that British radio woman had to say on the subject..."

It was possible he was now a little flustered. "I'm sorry. What was the question?"

John nods when Jarod offers him a soda.

"A mullet's this really awful haircut. Short in the front, long in the back. Really, really bad. Never grow one," John says. "As for Valentine's Day, I think it's not specifically for those who just love each other. I always thought it was just about those you love in anyway. Friendship, parents, yadda yadda yadda. Also, that British radio woman? A raging hose beast."

"No mullets. Check." He placed the soda in front of John. "Maybe I will get Parker something, then. And I'm sorry, but hose beast? What makes them rage?"

"Heck, I'll probably get Parkie something just because we're friends. Sometimes. When we're not fighting."

John sips his soda. "She's not really a hose beast, she's just very..ornery. And old. She doesn't like me much."

"Parker doesn't make it easy, does she?" Jarod shook his head, automatically assuming that any fighting was her fault. "Why doesn't the British woman like you?"

"Because I uncovered lurid details about her personal life," John says. "And before you say I shouldn't have done that, she calls herself a celebrity and encouraged investigative reporting."

"I thought other people had to call you a celebrity? And investigative reporting has its place, I guess--what are you being taught to investigate?"

I am so glad "raging hose beast" finally got used in a conversation.

"Not Professor Skeeter, man. She's got an ego and it's the size of a small continent. Apparently, Parker hates the woman too," John says, nodding. "Basically, th assignment was to investigate someone. I chose Skeeter and investigated her. Found out stuff and now she has it in for me."

Jarod raised an eyebrow. Unfortunately, Parker hating someone wasn't enough to make him dislike her--Parker hated a lot of people. "So she's angry with you for doing a good job on an assignment? What kind of instructor does that?"

"Dunno man," John says, shrugging. "I talke to Parkie the other day and apparently she doesn't like Skeeter because Skeeter makes wild assumptions about her love life...with, um, you."

"Parkie?" Jarod grinned widely in anticipation of the next time he saw her. "Well, I'd say that assuming we have a love life is a hell of a thing, since we don't. Have one. Together. At all." He was flustered again. Weird.
