Caritas -- Open [2/23]

[superartie]

Artie set himself up behind the bar and juggled turnips, much to Tino's dismay.

Veronica was on hand as well, to help get the drinks to actually be correct.

Re: The Stage [2/23]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe whispered something to the bqand and they started playing.

Hey little sister I heard you went to Mr. Sawyer, knocking on his door
again last night, said you needed him bad -
you know that he ain't right
Cause you've come to me crying
trying to stop, you said it hurts so bad
But please don't let you
go back for more

My little sister is a heart trapped in a body
with a loving soul a role she has learned to play
in a world today where nothing else matters
but it matters, we gotta start feeding our souls

Not our addictions or afflictions of pain
to avoid the same questions we must
ask ourselves to get any answers
We gotta start feeding our souls
have been lost to the millions with lots
who feed on addiction selling sex and what's hot

I wish I could save her from all their delusions
all the confusion
of a nation that starves for salvation
but clothing is the closest approximation
to God and
She only knows that violence
Is all he shows of love

Every day we starve while we eat white bread
and beer instead of a handshake or hug
We spill the pills and sweep them
uner the rug

My little sister is a heart trapped in a body
with a loving soul a role she has learned to play
in a world today where nothing else matters
but it matters, we gotta start feeding our souls

Hey little sister I heard you went to Mr. Sawyer's
Knockin' on his door again last night
Said you needed more
Well you kow that ain't right...

Paige really doesn't know what to say to that, she knows the whole Sawyer things messed up, but he's so broken inside.

So she doesn't say anything, she just wipes away a tear.

Piper looks at both of sister before singing. The song? Not well known. The lyrics? Perfect.

It's been a long time
Since I've seen you smiling
As you walk across this room
I sense your spirit slowly dying
And there's something in your eyes
That you're trying to hide
But you seem to forget

I've known you all my life
And all the joy that you bring
But the light in your eyes
Is slowly darkening
And it seems to me
His words are so unkind
He's messin' with your mind
It's so strange
How he is changing you
Where is the girl that I know?

Sister, Sister
Don't let him steal you away
Don't let the fire burn out
Fill your head full of doubt
Be brave

Now weren't you the one
Who always told me
Not to let anyone
Capture or hold me
And you have all your dreams
And all your desires
Now fading away
His words
They keep you and weaken you
Wearin' you down at the soul

Sister, Sister
Don't let him steal you away
Don't let the fire burn out
Fill your head full of doubt
Be brave
My sister, sister
If you could see what I see
A girl who's so strong
But a little lost for too long
Its okay

What I wanna say, hey
Is that I feel your pain
When I see the change
It's so, so strange
How he is hurting you
And you keep playing his games
His words
They keep you and weaken you
Wearing you down with the blame

Sister, Sister
Don't let him steal you away
Don't let the fire burn out
Fill your head full of doubt
Be brave
My sister, sister
If you could see what I see
A girl who's so strong
But a little lost for too long
Its okay

Sister, Sister
My sister, sister
Sister, Sister
Its okay

Veronica looks up from where she's talking to Nadia and smiles at her roommate. That song was so perfect for her to sing to her sisters.

Re: The Stage [2/23]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe dropped into a chair nearest the stage when she heard the song. Tears welled up in her eyes and slipped down her cheeks.

Did Piper really think she was losing her?

Re: The Stage [2/23]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe still had tears sliding down her cheeks, but there was a song she had wanted to sing for awhile, and she knew that her sisters and Kiki wouldn't condemn her for her feelings. Besides, the person the song was for wasn't likely to come in.



If a love as strong as ours
Couldn't make it all the way,
Can anything make sense at all?

If a love so deep and true
Couldn't stand the test of time,
Then mount everest could slide,
And jeruselem could fall.

Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?

If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,
Is nothing sacred anymore?

If we can say good-bye
Is nothing sacred anymore?

I can hear the final words
Every sentence that was said
Don't know what turned our lives around.

It doesn't matter who was right,
There's no justice in a dream.
Never thought a heart could break
Without making any sound.

Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?

If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,

Is nothing sacred anymore?

If we can say good-bye
If we can say good-bye
Is nothing sacred anymore?

Our love was as certain as the dawn,
As solid and save as any love could be.

Our love was the star you wished upon,
And you thought that i saved you,
Could've sworn that you saved me.

Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?

If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,
Is nothing sacred anymore?

Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?

If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,
Is nothing sacred anymore?

If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye...

Is nothing sacred anymore...
Is nothing sacred anymore...
Is nothing sacred anymore...

I miss you
We say goodbye
It's empty now

Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?

Cole heard the singing begin and realized it was Phoebe. He stepped away from the bar and into a shadowed alcove, watching her.

Re: The Stage [2/23]

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia wobbled only slightly on her way to the stage. She knew just what she wanted to sing. She gestured to the zomband and whispered the song title to them, then turned to the mic.

Last week I had the strangest dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Where there was never any mystery of who shot John F. Kennedy
It was just a man with something to prove
Slightly bored and severely confused
He steadied his rifle with his target in the center
And became famous on that day in November

Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in

Again last night I had that strange dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Where concerns about the world getting warmer
The people thought they were just being rewarded
For treating others as they'd like to be treated
For obeying stop signs and curing diseases
For mailing letters with the address of the sender
Now we can swim any day in November

Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
(now we can swim any day in November)
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in

Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
OOo oOo oOo

Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
OOo oOo oOo

Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping
OOo oOo oOo.....

Walter might have been paying attention when Nadia went up to sing. He might have been crossing his fingers that it would be something innocuous.

He was definitely relieved when it was and clapped for her as she finished.

Re: The Stage [2/23]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica heads up to the stage and makes sure to smile at Nadia, Piper, Phoebe and Paige during her song.

This is for all you girls, about thirteen.
High School can be so rough; can be so mean.
Hold onto, onto your innocence.
Stand your ground, when everybody's givin' in.

This one's for the girls.

This is for all you girls, about twenty-five.
In little apartments just tryin' to get by.
Livin' on, on dreams and Spaghettios.
Wonderin' where your life is gonna go.

This one's for the girls,
Who've ever had a broken heart;
Who've wished upon a shootin' star:
You're beautiful the way you are.
This one's for the girls,
Who love without holdin' back;
Who dream with everything they have.
All around the world,
This one's for the girls.
(This one's for all the girls.)

This is for all you girls, about forty-two.
Tossin' pennies into the fountain of youth.
Every laugh, laugh line on your face,
Made you who you are today.

This one's for the girls,
Who've ever had a broken heart;
Who've wished upon a shootin' star:
You're beautiful the way you are.
This one's for the girls,
Who love without holdin' back;
Who dream with everything they have.
All around the world:
This one's for the girls.

Yeah, we're all the same inside (Same inside.)
From one to ninety-nine:

This one's for the girls,
Who've ever had a broken heart;
Who've wished upon a shootin' star:
You're beautiful the way you are.
This one's for the girls,
Who love without holdin' back;
Who dream with everything they have.
All around the world, yeah,
This one's for the girls.
(This one's for all the girls.)

Yeah, this one's for the girls.
(This one's for all the girls.)

Nadia applauded happily for Veronica. She'd have to get her hands on a copy of that song. . . .

Re: The Stage [2/23]

[absolutesnark]

Piper grinned at her roommate and applauded.

Re: The Stage [2/23]

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

Kiki steps uncertainly up to the mike.

"Um," she begins unceremoniously, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'm not good at singing sad songs. Actually, um, I'm not good at singing anything. But this one is for my girls - for Phoebe and Paige and myself, and anyone else here who's a little miffed in this month of Valentine's Day."

She nods to the zombies, who strike up a jazzy funk piece with great brass and sax, and grabs the mike. Kiki's no fantastic singer, but she carries the tune well and she gets into the spirit of the fast-paced music enthusiastically.


You said you wanted to see Paris
So I took you to the movie
"Bon Amie" or something French like that

Then you said you were embarrased
Because I never bought you jewelery
Television shopping fixed all that

Funny thing is that I haven't seen you lately
When I called your house it wasn't you who told me
I heard it all from your dad
I used up all my money on you, baby, now I want it back

I want it back
I used up all my money trying to please you and I want it back!

Do you remember late last winter?
You said that you had nothing to wear
Those fake fur pajamas looked real nice

I couldn't take you to Miami
But took you to the ocean and we
Had some blue Hawaiis on the beach

Let me think -
If I add up all you owe me
And include my time
I might make it through the summer

And I guess that ain't too bad
I used up all my money on you baby and I want it back!
I said I want it back
I used up all my money trying to please you and I want it back!

Want it all back
I said I want it all back
Gimmie my money all back
I want my money all back! Yeah-yeah!

Kiki looks out at the audience as she finishes, blushes wildly, and hurries off the stage.

Re: The Stage [2/23]

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige looked a little nervous as she went up the stage, but since everyone else had done it she figured she might as well try.

So she grabbed the microphone and started to sing, a slightly angry song

I'm not sure
What I'm looking for anymore
I just know
That I'm harder to console
I don't see who I'm trying to be
Instead of me
But the key
Is a question of control

Can you say
What you're trying to play anyway
I just pay
While you're breaking all the rules
All the signs that I find
Have been underlined
Devils thrive on the drive
That is fuelled

All this running around
Well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe
All the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve
Something that rings true

There's a hole in your soul
Like an animal
With no conscience
Repentance unknown
Close your eyes
Pay the price for your paradise
Devils feed on the seeds
That are sown

Can't conceal what I feel
What I know is real
No mistaking the faking
I care
With a prayer in the air
I will leave it there
On a note full of hope
Not despair

All this running around
Well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe
All the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve
Something that rings true

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe gets there early and takes a seat at the bar. She's waiting for Piper and Paige and perhaps Cole Kiki.

"Hey Artie!" she greeted her friend and kisses his cheek.

"Tino? Can I get an iced tea... regular kind, please?"

Yeah, she doesn't want alcohol...yet.

Re: The Bar [2/23]

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia was just a touch anxious as she came into Caritas. She'd spent the afternoon bouncing back and forth between anticipation of picking up Bel's "present" tomorrow and worry about what Lucas might have in mind for her.

A drink was exactly what was called for. Possibly several. She didn't have classes tomorrow, after all.

Re: The Bar [2/23]

[demonbelthazor]

Bored, Bel wandered into Caritas for some entertainment for the evening. He walked up to the bar and ordered a beer.

Re: The Bar [2/23]

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter took a seat at the bar with a couple of take away packages from Cafe Fina in a bag next to him. He'd had enough of the Swedish Chef's cooking for a while.

Re: The Bar [2/23]

[fh_jackass]

Logan sat down at the bar. "Hey, can I get a whiskey?" he asked.
