Caritas [Sunday Evening]

Greg opened up Caritas, mulling over the conversation from earlier in the day with his school-appointed and very grumpy little brother.

He whistled as he started to reassemble the band, and then took his place behind the bar and waving cheerfully to Jarod on the other side of the bar.

[Wait for OCD threads! Threads are up and Caritas is open.]

Oh hell no, there would be no singing, but there would most assuredly be drinking now that he had a home, and he was fairly sure, with judicious use of the Word, a job.

Jesse ordered a beer from Tino and looked around to see what sort of people ended up in a karaoke bar hereabouts.

El sat next to Jesse after his set and ordered a soda. "Buenos noches," he said. "Nice outfit."

Jesse glanced over at the newcomer and nodded. "Evenin'."

El accepted his soda from Tino and popped the cap on the bar. "Are you from around here or are you as confused by this place as I am?"

"If you're wondering how the hell you got here and what the fuck is going on, you'll be catchin' up with me in no time," Jesse said, waving Tino over for a shot to go with his beer.

"Oh, I know that. I got here on my motorcycle and I'm here because a piece of shit CIA agent sent me here." He sipped at his soda. "I was talking about the things on the stage."

"No fuckin' clue. I thought it was some sort of new punk thing. I got a friend'd love 'em." Or an ex-friend.

"No, I played up there with them. They're defnitely... decomposing."

Jesse glanced back up again. "Huh. Zombies. I met an alien earlier and some kid with cat ears. I thought I knew crazy shit, but...." he shook his head and downed his shot.

"...Come again? My English isn't amazing, but did you just say that you met an alien?"

"Your English is fine, amigo. I said an alien. Two hearts, he said. Crazy shit."

"... And this doesn't bother you?" El asked.

Jesse shrugged. "I've seen worse."

Rosette blinked a few times, her eyes a little blurry from her catch-up drinking marathon, but she was pretty sure she was seeing things right. She scoffed. What, did some one now think they could steal her bit? She was the drunken clergy member around here, thank you very much!

But she had to admit, the eyepatch was a nice touch. She had to give him that.

She was pretty drunk, though, and feeling whimsical because she'd missed being drunk. She plopped down, uninvited and with her legs flying a bit as she crossed them in a very unladylike display of stockings and boots, and smiled as she slurred, "Heyyyyyy, there, Padre!"

Jesse looked over at the drunk nun and raised an eyebrow. "Reverend, Sister."

"Oh! So you're one of the lucky ones." Rosette gave him a wink, and would have nudged him, but she was much too busy giggling and nearly falling over.

Re: The Bar [08/27]

"How's that?" Jesse leaned away a little, not wanting the soused sister to fall on him.

Rosette promptly facepalmed, shaking her head. He was gonna make her say it? A sweet, little innocent nun like her? For shame!

She started giggling again, a little uncontrolably. She cracked herself up. But she soon recovered enough to explain. "Reverends can get married, can't they? And thaaaat means they can, you know, have a wiiiiife, and, in having a wiiiiife..." She turned a little pink, squeaking as she held back a very niave sort of laugh "...have SEX."

But she couldn't hold the the laugh back. It burst out of her, and she slapped the table.

"Yeah." Jesse couldn't help laughing at or maybe with the drunken nun. "Reverends can get married and have wives and all that."

Not that he had since before... scratch that. "Yeah, we can have wives."

"See? Lucky." Rosette grinned, glad that the preacher was laughing, and not getting mad at her, or something. He was no Father Remington, that was for sure, but she always did have a weakness for a man of the cloth.

"Not that I'd want a wife or something, but, ya'know. Ya definately got the better deal on that side of the theology."

She gave him a thumbs up and then offered her hand. "Rosette, by the way. We can't very well go 'round call each other 'Sister' an' 'Rev'rend' now, can we?"

"Jesse," he said, taking her hand. "Jesse Custer."

Rosette gave his hand a wobbly shake. "Nice ta meet'cha!" She was slurring a little again. "I work over at the...the, uh, Our Lady of...Well, the church, anyway. Ya should stop by, give a sermon or two! Unless you're here to do just that...regularly?" There's no mistaking the pure hope in her voice as she asks. 'Bout time someone who might possibly know what they're doing showed up and she might be able to slack off even more!

...But they were meeting in a bar, so there was a good chance Reverend Custer here was no holier or pious than she was. Drat.

Jesse thought about the last sermon he gave in Annville and shook his head. The entire congregation going up in flames was definitely a once in a lifetime event, but still.... "I'm not a sermonizing preacher. I'm going to teach religion up at the school, though."

Re: The Bar [08/27]

[identity profile] nun-better.livejournal.com 2006-08-28 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Double drat. Rosette snapped. "That's too bad. Uhhh, not about the teaching religion, that's pretty nifty, but about the sermonizoning-oning..." Slurring out the word, she paused, considered it. Close enough. Rosette forged on. "But yer still welcome to stop by whenever! And meet Chrono! Oh, you'll like Chrono. 'Less he plays the organ." She made a gagging gesture, sticking out her tongue and wrapping her hands around her neck.

Jesse looked nonplussed. This was hardly the behavior he expected of a nun. "Uh huh. I'll do that."
