Caritas, Monday Evening

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam showed up ten minutes early for her shift, drink mixing book in hand and a little anxious about filling in for the night. Tino made very clear that he was watching every drink she mixed, and if she didn't make them properly he was going to dump it and make it himself.

This actually made her feel a little better, but she was still going to encourage drinking soda, beer, wine, and mixed drinks with a 'n' in the middle.

The Band

Yeah, they're okay with the exchange. Plus, the brain on this one may be especially tasty.

Jack jumped up on the stage, and whispered in the ear of the lead zombie - which was made much easier by the fact that the zombie was holding his ear out in front of him - then turned to blow a kiss to Sam and grabbed the microphone.

"I have no idea where I learned this, but it's one of the only ones I know from this time period," he said, then launched into his song.

I was born in the wagon of a travellin show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of doctor good

He was swaggering across the stage, and it turned out Jack could sing. Very well. Even the zombies looked impressed. Or they were hungry.

Gypsys, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsys, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down

Picked up a boy just south of mobile
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal
I was sixteen, he was twenty-one
Rode with us to memphis
And papa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done

Gypsys, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsys, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down

I never had schoolin but he taught me well
With his smooth southern style
Three months later I'm a gal in trouble
And I haven't seen him for a while, uh-huh
I haven't seen him for a while, uh-huh

She was born in the wagon of a travellin show
Her mama had to dance for the money they'd throw
Grandpad do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of doctor good

Gypsys, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsys, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down

Out of breath and grinning, he leapt down and made his way back to the bar.

Sam hooted and applauded wildly. "Which one are you?"

Re: The Band

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Which one do you want me to be?" he asked, waggling his eyebrows at her.

The Bar

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Seriously, she's being watched like a hawk. It's safe to order.

Jack wandered into Caritas after leaving the park - hey, he was already in town, and a drink on a Monday was always a good idea - and did a double take at seeing Sam behind the bar.

"Are you trying to earn money so you can escape Fandom and live a life of luxury on a tropical island somewhere?" he asked as he leaned across the bar, eyeing off Tino, not sure how he felt about anyone besides him keeping that close a watch on Sam. "And does dating the bartender earn me any special privileges?"

Re: The Bar

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, I hadn't thought of that," Sam grinned, then leaned over the bar to kiss Jack hello. "I got recruited to fill in for Jarod, and it does, but nothing I can offer you in public. Or that I'd charge you for."

She grinned again. "Want something to drink?"

Re: The Bar

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack happily kissed her back, pointedly ignoring Tino. "As long as you take me with you," he laughed. "And what time do you finish tonight? Because suddenly I feel a burning desire to experience those privileges first hand." He settled onto a stool and rested an elbow on the bar. "Surprise me? I'm sure anything you come up with will be exactly what I wanted."

Elizabeth moved to slip her arm around Jack's shoulders and squeezed. "Hey, you," she said.

Re: The Bar

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack turned and grinned when he saw who it was, immediately wrapping one arm around her waist and pulling her into a hug. "Hey, Liz. How are you doing?"

As if out of nowhere, a water balloon flew at Sam.

Re: The Bar

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam, who hadn't been expecting anything of the kind, took the hit full in the face and commenced sputtering as she picked water balloon corpse off her shirt.

Peter was feeling kind of thirsty, so he decided to stop by Caritas and see if anyone was making a fool of themselves on stage. That wasn't happening, but Sam was behind the bar. It could still be interesting.

"Hey, Sam," Peter said. "Could I get a Coke?"

Re: The Bar

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Peter, and absolutely." She filled a glass with ice and grabbed the soda gun. "Thank you for picking something easy. What's up?"

Re: The Bar

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Not a problem. This is also cheap and alcohol-free, so it works nicely for me," Peter said. "But not too much is going on right now. Just getting used to classes and looking forward to clubs starting up."

Re: The Bar

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"This is a new side of the bar for you," said Elizabeth, grinning as she slid up onto a stool. "New job?"

Re: The Bar

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I got drafted," Sam grinned back. "Want something to drink?"

Re: The Bar

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Sure," said Elizabeth. "What can you give me? Will you hurt me if I tried to order something complicated?"

Chad stopped in later after closing up Empire for his usual after-work beer before bed.

Re: The Bar

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam smiled at him. "Hey, what can I get for you?"

Re: The Bar

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Coro--" Chad started, and then his lip curled up a bit in a faint sneer as he changed his mind. No. No Corono tonight. He thought quickly. "Guinness."

The Lounge

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

For lounging.
