Caritas - Open [6/13]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica was in a strange mood when she got to work and it was only made stranger by the fact that the zombies had re-doubled their protest efforts and the whole stage was plastered in signs. She shook her head and wondered if GOB was going to give in to their request for a sax.

She set about getting things ready and tried to quell her nerves. She had no idea if Archie was going to remember the conversation they had the other night.

Tim took the stage, looking rather nervous, partly stage fright, and partly, y'know, zombies.

Elle bounced along behind him, blonde hair swinging as a seperate, near sentient being. She didn't notice the zombies, she only saw the spotlight.

"Ooh, Tim, you wanna go first or me?"

Re: The Stage [6/13]

Having been sucked into her studies, literally, Elle emerged from her attic apartment on a Tuesday and decided that she needed a drink and people.

She smiled at Tino and got him to put a little rum in her diet coke, then she spun around to watch for anyone she knew.

Re: The Bar [6/13]

"Hey, Elle," Veronica greeted with a grin. "How's your workshop going?"

Re: The Bar [6/13]

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

tim's mind flailed when he saw Elle, seeing as how he'd thought she was a student when they first met, but he was endeavoring to be more outgoing these days, so instead of hiding, greeted her.

"Hi, Elle right?"

Clark, in his confused state had not paid much attention to his wardrobe of choice before he went out that night. As such he was wearing a blue t-shirt, with dress slacks, and sneakers.

It was Tuesday night, of course, and so Archie made his usual trip down to Caritas. There was an inexplicable urgency to his walk today, though; almost a vague sense of increased concern for Veronica, even if he couldn't explain where it had come from.

"Hello, Veronica," he said as he sat down at the bar. The greeting was a bit more cheerful than was his habit, as if he felt the need to prove something. What, he didn't exactly know.

Re: The Bar [6/13]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Veronica said, leaning across the bar for a kiss.

She was trying to figure out the best way to gauge if he remembered anything. Though she was guessing he probably didn't, since she hadn't until she'd read the email she sent.

Re: The Bar [6/13]

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Tim didn't have to get up tomorrow so he decided that a late night in Caritas could be fun.

"Hey Veronica." he smiled.

Re: The Bar [6/13]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Tim, how are you?" Veronica asked with a grin. "What can I get you?"

Nadia's weird mood had been, for the most part, gotten rid off after lunch. She was still feeling like she was forgetting something, though, and though she knew she wasn't the only one, she figured she should go find the person who generally seemed to have answers about stuff.

Thus, she was looking for Veronica. "Hey,"

Re: The Bar [6/13]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Veronica greeted back. After running into Bel and talking to Piper, she'd completely forgotten about talking to Nadia. "How are you?"

Re: The Bar [6/13]

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler gave Nadia half a wave. He had a dim feeling he'd had a few long conversations with her over the weekend, but he had no idea what they'd been about.

Funny.

Re: The Bar [6/13]

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler had hoped a drink would center him.

Apparently half of campus had the same idea.

He ordered a beer from the blonde girl behind the bar.

Re: The Bar [6/13]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica gave him his beer and smiled. "I don't think we've met," she said. "Are you a new student? I'm Veronica. I just graduated in May and I'm teaching the Photography workshop."

Re: The Bar [6/13]

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

Clark entered, looking somewhat dazed.

Re: The Bar [6/13]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Evening," Veronica greeted. "Can I get you something to drink?"

Tim relaxed and people watched, and tried to ignore all the signs that seemed to be hinting at Zombie dirtiness.
