Caritas, Thursday [8/30]

[sensethevisions]

It was Phoebe's last shift at Caritas and she was feeling a bit mopey about it.

She wandered around the club, making sure everything was in its rightful place for the last time. She helped duct tape the zombies back together and she even hugged the leader.

Back behind the bar, she straightened things up, and she and Tino had a toast... or two.

Caritas is open.

The Stage [8/30]

[sensethevisions]

Sing. Dance. Be cheerful.

At some point, Phoebe took the stage and talked to the zombies. After some conferring, the music to a song started playing... and then Phoebe started singing.

If you need a friend,
don't look to a stranger,
You know in the end,
I'll always be there.

And when you're in doubt,
and when you're in danger,
Take a look all around,
and I'll be there.

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.

When your day is through,
and so is your temper,
You know what to do,
I'm gonna always be there.

Sometimes if I shout,
it's not what's intended.
These words just come out,
with no gripe to bear.

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.

I gotta tell ya, I need to tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell yaaaa ...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you...

I promise, I promise you I will ...
I will...
I will...
I will

Lana let Phoebe pull her up onto the stage. "Partners, right. Through thick and thin."

Phoebe was grinning. "Night and day!"

Anders should never be allowed to sing coffeehouse-style women's acoustic folk songs, but that didn't stop him tonight.

It wasn't exactly cheerful, but then again . . . it was a slow Dar Williams song.


The summer ends, and we wonder where we are,
And there you go my friends with your boxes in your car.
And you both looked so young and last night was hard you said,
You packed up every room
and then you cried and went to bed,
But today you closed the door and said
"We have to get a move on,
It's just that time of year when we push ourselves ahead,
we push ourselves ahead."
And it was cloudy in the morning
and it rained as you drove away,
And the same things looked different,
It's the end of summer, the end of summer,
When you move to another place.

And I feel like the neighbor's girl who will never be the same,
She walked alone all spring,
she had a boyfriend when the summer came,
He gave her flowers in a lightning storm,
They disappeared at night in green fields of silver corn.
And sometime in July she just forgot that he was leaving,
So when the fields were dying, she held on to his sleeves,
She held on to his sleeves.
And she doesn't want to let go,
Cause she won't know what she's up against,
The classrooms and the smart girls,
It's the end of summer, the end of summer,
When you hang your flowers up to dry.

And I had a dream, it blows the autumn through my head,
It felt like the first day of school,
but I was going to the moon instead,
And I walked down the hall
with the notebook they got for me,
My dad led me through the house,
my mom drank instant coffee,
And I knew that I would crash,
but I didn't want to tell them,
There are just some moments when your family makes sense,
They just make sense.
So I raised up my arms, and my mother puts the sweater on,
We walked out on the dark and frozen grass,
the end of summer.
It's the end of summer,
When you send your children to the moon.

The summer ends and we wonder who we are,
And there you go my friends with your boxes in your car.
And today I passed the high school, the river, the maple tree,
I passed the farms that made it
through the last days of the century.
And I knew that I was going to learn again,
again in this less hazy light,
I saw the fields beyond the fields, the fields beyond the fields.
And the colors are much brighter now,
It's like they really want to tell the truth,
We give our testimony to the end of summer,
It's the end of summer, you can spin the light to gold.

To tell the truth, it was more spoken-word performance art than singing, but his singing would have sounded pretty bad with his voice as choked up as it was anyway.

When he came back down, Phoebe hugged him.

The Bar [8/30]

[sensethevisions]

Drink. Tip. Talk.

After her shift at the hotel, Mary didn't feel like retreating to her lonely hotel room. Besides, going out gave her an excuse to put off making a phone call to Las Vegas.

"Club soda with lime, please."

Re: The Bar [8/30]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe smiled and fixed up her drink. "Here you go."

Bel was there, of course, nursing a drink.

[tagging in to establish, have appointment tonight and will tag back when I return at 8:30-9:00 ESTish.]

Phoebe smiled at Cole and leaned over to kiss him.

Anders eventually moved over to sit beside Bel. He didn't say anything at first, though he did reach out and nudge Bel's foot lightly with his toes.

Lana had got in from Vermont with Jim, dumped her stuff on the bed and hurried over to Caritas. "Phoebe!"

Re: The Bar [8/30]

[sensethevisions]

"Lana! You're back!"

Re: The Bar [8/30]

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders was here, in his usual spot at the bar, but not so much with the talkative. In fact, he was pretty damn quiet, staring alternately into his drink -- which he wasn't really touching -- or at Phoebe, or at Bel.

Re: The Bar [8/30]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe was aware of the mood and that would be why she was standing close to him.

"Hey Man." Leo smiled at her as he sat down. He might smell of something. Smoke most likely. And nothing else.

Re: The Bar [8/30]

[sensethevisions]

"Hey Leo!"

Eve was sitting at the bar, quietly emoing to herself.

Yes, emoing could be done quietly. In fact, it was best when done quietly.

The Lounge [8/30]

[sensethevisions]

Lounge. Snuggle. Talk.

The OOC [8/30]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe's last Caritas post! *woes and sniffles*

Gimme pretties?!

Re: The OOC [8/30]

[stykera]

*has no nekkid icons to give*
*because that would be slightly disturbing*
*uses pretty Starkozu instead*

I don't have naked -- shame, really -- but I do have Mila and her cleavage of doom. That's pretty, right?
