Caritas, Thursday [7/12]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe had been trying to hide from the random soundtracks popping up all day. It wasn't going so well.

So taunt me and hurt me,
Deceive me, desert me,
I'm yours 'til I die,
So in love,
So in love,
So in love with you, my love, am I.

"Couldn't you have followed me around with a better damn song?" she demanded angrily.

So taunt me and hurt me,
Deceive me, desert me,
I'm yours 'til I die,
So in love,
So in love,
So in love with you, my love, am I.

She got the zombies put together and unlocked the doors. Once behind the the bar she looked at Tino.

"Quarters?"
"Can we pretend we're using quarters and just drink?"
"Good plan."

It was going to be an interesting night for the patrons of Caritas if this was how the two of them were starting out the shift.

The Stage [7/12]

Sing... before the random soundtracks drive you nuts.

The Bar [7/12]

[sensethevisions]

Drinking... for the dealing with of the insane soundtracks.

Prue was getting really tired of "Witchy Woman" following her around. She was almost to the point where she was going to find all the members of the the Eagles and TK them into oblivion. She definitely needed a drink.

Phoebe recognized that look. It was the same look she had been wearing all day. She downed her shot and as Tino poured them another, she looked at her big sister. "What can I get you, sis?"

"The Eagles, bound and gagged." said Prue, propping her head up with her hand. "And a rum and Coke."

Troy was practically bouncing when he came into Caritas that evening; he'd been lucky all day with the songs that followed him around, and had spent most of the day singing along. Still, he was in the mood for a little karaoke.

Maybe the weird stuff at Fandom wasn't all bad, after all.

He made his way up to the bar and sat down. "Hey!" he said, smiling brightly.

Re: The Bar [7/12]

[sensethevisions]

"Hey there."

Jack settled himself at the bar with a very purposeful air and gave Tino a grin he in no way felt. "Scotch, thanks, double on the rocks."

Tino grinned back - which didn't really surprise Jack; it had been an excellent date - and set it in front of him.

"Thanks." He drank it down quick, then signalled for another, and when it arrived, he sipped it slowly, eyes scanning the bar intently. His personal soundtrack had, thus far, been mercifully quiet.

Some people's lives fade like their dreams
too tired to rise, too tired to sleep
And some people laugh when they need to cry
and they never know why

Lana waved a glass at him before downing it. "Drinking, not thinking," she said cheerfully to Jack. She was clearly putting her words into action.

Re: The Bar [7/12]

"I can see that," Jack replied, lifting his own glass in response.

Very faintly, music started to swell...

Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party-time necessity
Alcohol, alternative to feeling like yourself
O Alcohol, I still drink to your--

"Don't even think about it," he muttered through clenched teeth and it stopped abruptly, leaving an offended silence in its place. "Better."

Isabel had told herself she wasn't going to talk to Jack, that she'd ignore him because it seemed like that's what he wanted. Unfortunately that was easier said then done. After finishing her conversation with Bel, she walked down the bar. "Can we talk?"

Re: The Bar [7/12]

[demonbelthazor]

Bel was at his usual seat.

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

And the damned music was still following him.

After class, Isabel had handwavily gone to the gym and beat up the bag for a while. It hadn't done much to improve her mood. Particularly since she was being followed around by a soundtrack of decidedly mopey music.

It was Thursday, which meant Bel and Anders would be at Caritas. Maybe if she drank herself stupid the music would stop.

Will you remember me when I'm gone
Will you remember me at all
I tried to be kind, I tried to be good.
But Will you remember me?

God only knows why we try and fail
Through my broken heart, rain or hail
I tried to be honest, it's hard not to lie
Will you remember me after I die

"Sometimes I hate this place," she muttered as she slid into the seat next to Bel.

Phoebe tried to smile at him as that stupid song started playing again.

So taunt me and hurt me,
Deceive me, desert me,
I'm yours 'til I die,
So in love,
So in love,
So in love with you, my love, am I.

"I tried vanquishing spells."

Anders waited until Bel was done talking to Isabel, then came over and sat down beside him.

So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

"Make the music stop," he whimpered.

Re: The Bar [7/12]

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

It's years like these
that make a young man old
bend his back against the promises
that life should hold
It can make him wise
or it can drive him to his knees
And nothing comes for free
In years like these

"Drinking, not thinking," Lana said to Phoebe. "Or singing."

Re: The Bar [7/12]

[sensethevisions]

"Join the club," Phoebe agreed making Lana a drink.

So taunt me and hurt me,
Deceive me, desert me,
I'm yours 'til I die,
So in love,
So in love,
So in love with you, my love, am I..

Re: The Bar [7/12]

Anders made his way into the bar like he did every Thursday night, this time still accompanied by the soundtrack coming from nowhere:

"
Hey!
C'mon, take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough . . ."

He sighed. "It's like it knows what I want or something."

"Hey sweetie," Phoebe said as she handed him a drink.

No problem, can be solved
Once I get involved
I try to be delicate
Then crash right into it
My intentions are good
Sometimes just misunderstood

Re: The Bar [7/12]

Squall walked into Caritas without any music.

... No, wait, it was just a moment of silence in the song

...Cuz this is my United States of Whatever!
And this is my United States of Whatever!
And this is my United States of Whatever!

And then it's three A.M.
And I'm on the corner, wearing my leather
This dude comes up and he's, like, "hey, punk!"
I'm, like, "yeah, whatever!"

"A drink," he said, sitting down at the bar. "I don't care what."

Re: The Bar [7/12]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe poured him a shot in sympathy.

The Lounge [7/12]

[sensethevisions]

Sitting... or for the trying to hide from the random soundtracks following you.

Re: The Lounge [7/12]

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack didn't sit, just turned to face Isabel, arms crossed in front of him, waiting, expression absolutely neutral.

Re: The Lounge [7/12]

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel tried to stay relaxed, but it was hard when all she wanted to do was shake him and ask why he was doing this.

"Tell me again. Why did you come back here?"

The OOC [7/12]

[sensethevisions]

OOCing... for the preventing of explosions.
