Caritas - Monday evening [Open]

Jolee had officially discovered the game of darts. This troubled Tino. Not the fact that he was playing, but the fact fact that the dartboard was in the lounge, Jolee was behind the bar, and he wasn't touching the darts.

Still, this was Fandom, even that wasn't too bad. But every now and then one of the mysteriously thrown darts would go way off target. It was bad when the bass player took a dart to the forehead. It was worse when the glass Tino was drinking something very strong out of shattered as a dart flew through it. If Tino didn't know better - and he didn't, actually - he'd think Jolee was doing that on purpose. The laughter the accompanied the occasional wild throws didn't help that thinking.

Jolee would probably stop when a customer entered. Just to keep messing with Tino.

Leo gave the Zombie a double take. "You need that taken out?"

After a brief conference with the band, Leo began to sing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EdngnDdjCo).

In May of 1941 the war had just begun
The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns
The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea
On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees

Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship the Hood
And every British seaman he knew and understood
They had to sink the Bismarck the terror of the sea
Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees
We'll find the German battleship that's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us
Yeah hit the decks a runnin' boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down

The Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal day
The Bismarck started firing fifteen miles away
We gotta sink the Bismarck was the battle sound
But when the smoke had cleared away the mighty Hood went down
For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail
Churchill told the people put every ship asail
Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be
We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea
We'll find the German battleship...

The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the morning sun
Ten hours away from homeland the Bismarck made its run
The Admiral of the British fleet said turn those bows around
We found that German battleship and we're gonna cut her down
The British guns were aimed and the shells were coming fast
The first shell hit the Bismarck they knew she couldn't last
That mighty German battleship is just a memory
Sink the Bismarck was the battle cry that shook the seven seas
We found the German battleship t'was makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a runnin' and we and spun those guns around
Yeah we found the mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down
We found the German battleship...

Leo had more songs in his repetoir so he sang another (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaCLHZGTuhc).

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.

[Chorus:]
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin' on
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

We looked down the river and we see'd the British come.
And there must have been a hundred of'em beatin' on the drum.
They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring.
We stood by our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.

[Chorus]

Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eye
We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well.
Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... well

[Chorus]

Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.**

We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down.
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.

[Chorus]

Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.**

Oh, look, a customer.

"...You."

Squall wasn't sure whether he was amused or annoyed.

"Well, then, don't just stand there. Get me a drink."

Squall shrugged. "Do I look picky? Just get me something cheap but drinkable."

After a short pause he added, "Please remember, I'm human, not a tree."

Squall took a swig and grunted. Eyeing Tino, he muttered, "So, in addition to annoying complete strangers, you also enjoy scaring the piss out of the hired help?"

"Somehow, I doubt that," Squall observed.

Squall raised an eyebrow. "Really? I'm not."

"So, losing your hair makes you charming?" Squall asked, trying to figure out what the hell kind of twisted logic the old coot was using. "Have you ever considered that you might be going senile?"

Squall stared at Jolee a good, long time. And then slid the half-empty beer bottle back across the bar. "I'm gonna need something stronger."

"Evenin'." Leo nodded to the barkeep. "How's it going tonight?"

"Rum and coke please." Leo said. "You been working here long? I don't think I've seen you around before."

"I'm in here from time to time." Leo nodded. "Sometimes it's nice to get out of the house you know?"

"To get out of the house? It's just kinda empty these days."
