Caritas - Saturday evening [Open]

After last night, GOB was all set for a quiet night behind the bar. Nothing was going to make tonight too interesting.

GOB opened up the cash register and broke open a roll of pennies. His change launcher had been acting up recently, so he needed to test it out. He was being smart, though. It would be annoying to have Tino clean up the pennies around the bar - Tino would surely get in his way while he tried to sit around - so he moved to the stage, bringing his drink with him.

He set his glass on the edge of the stage and cued the zombies to play The Final Countdown.

After some prancing around, GOB knocked over his glass, which spilled onto the dance floor. He didn't notice this.

And then, when it was time to test his change launcher, a flame shot from his other wrist. "Dammit. It was the fireball I was having trouble with, not the change! Dammit!"

While GOB cursed himself, the flame hit the whiskey on the dance floor.

After much flailing and Tino using the fire extinguisher to clear the fire and cover GOB in foam, the threat had ended.

The dance floor, however, had burned down. Again.

"Tino, get the tables and chairs set up."

Sorry about the burnt wood smell from below.

Don't ask why GOB is covered in foam unless you want him to hate you. He very possibly hates you anyway, though. After all, you've seen him covered in foam.

"Is that disinfectant?" Hannelore guessed as she stared around at the rest of the bar.

She carefully pulled a wet nap from her bag and wiped down the barstool before sitting down.

"Fire foam stuff. There was a minor incident with the dance floor," GOB said. "What can I get you?"

"Dry martini? In a clean glass," she requested. "There was a dance floor?"

"Tino! Dry martini, clean glass," GOB ordered. "We had one installed yesterday for an annoying girl's birthday party. It burned down."

Tino brought over Hannelore's drink.

"Is this like, straight-from-the-washer clean?" Hannelore asked Tino, eyeing the drink. "And how did it burn down?"

"Tino, is it?" GOB asked. Tino nodded. GOB was pretty sure he was lying. "Yeah, sure. Perfectly clean."

"And it burned down because my stupid fireball isn't working right."

"Fireball?" Hannelore asked, discreetly wiping a napkin around the rim of the glass.

"I was trying to make it rain pennies, but I used the fireball trick instead," GOB explained.

"..."

Hannelore just stared at him before asking, "Can you recommend your therapist? I haven't found a good one."

"I don't need a therapist," GOB argued.

"Oh. Of course."

Clearly GOB was not ready for therapy. Hannelore understood this. She'd have to subtly encourage him to go, however, since he obviously needed it.

"What I need is a mechanic or something to get these stupid things to stop misfiri--" The pennies launched off to the side. "Dammit!"

Hannelore watched the pennies, and replied, "Do you know how many people touch money before it passes into your hands?"

"These were fresh from the roll, so nobody, right?" GOB asked.

"Tino! Pick up the pennies!"

"What are you going to do with those now that they've been all over the place?" she asked worriedly.

"Put them in the register, maybe load them back into the launcher later on," GOB said. "Why?"

"You should wash them first."

"Yeah, that's going to happen," GOB scoffed. "Hey, Tino! Throw those in the washing machine! Get them nice and clean!"

"You could put them in a sanitized container with a soapy disinfecting solution," Hannelore said, as though this were the obvious thing to do with coins.

That didn't take long.

*cries*

There there.

Hold a tribute for the dance floor on the radio! :D
