Caritas - Monday evening [Open]

By some calendar timing, today was Jolee's birthday. He hadn't shared this with anyone because it wasn't their business how old he was or how old he was now.

He was still taking the night off, though.

[OOC: Please mod Tino tonight, thank you!]

Robin ascended the stage and gave a nostalgic sigh. "It's been great being back in Fandom. I spent so many years here, and I find I miss it and the people. Hopefully this time we'll stay in touch better. In the meantime, I have a little ode to High School."

And so he began to sing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU10HsLvp5s).

Meg sat down at the bar and ordered a martini from Tino. She wasn't drinking it as much as she was seeing how fast she could swirl the olive around without spilling it. She still wasn't much of a drinker.

Dean had decided that after the last week, he deserved a drink so he headed down to Caritas. He ordered a beer from Tino then glanced over at the really hot blonde sitting there. Even with being aware of the whole older student thing happening, it took him a moment for him to recognise, "Meg?"

"Hmmm?" Meg turned her head and smiled when she saw who was talking. "You better still be a teenager because you look exactly like you did in high school."

"Still a teenager," Dean confirmed with a grin. "Though I suddenly have a 35 year old sasquatch for a brother."

Meg laughed. "I saw Sam this morning. I didn't think it was possible for him to get any taller. I was afraid I shrunk there for a minute."

"Nah. He's just overachieving about everything."

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
"There's nothing wrong with being an overachiever." she said. At least that's what she was trying to tell her daughter.

"As long as you remember to have a little fun every now and then," Dean allowed. He looked at her and grinned, shaking his head. "You're still really hot."

"Ah, Dean. You still know how to make a girl blush." Meg said, smirking. "Thank you."

"I'm an expert at seeing things how they are," he teased. "So what are you doing now? Highly paid supermodel?"

Re: The Bar [11/19]

Meg chuckled and shook her head. "No, I'm working for my father. Actually, I've become somewhat of a workaholic ever since my daughter became too old to hang out with her mom."

Re: The Bar [11/19]

"You got a kid?" Dean grinned. "How old?"

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
"She's seventeen, a junior." she said. Even she couldn't believe had a kid that old. "I actually think that makes her older than you, right? That's weird."

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Depending on how you count my age, yeah," Dean said. "But it's Fandom. When is it not weird?"

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Good point." she said. "I should have known coming back here for a reunion wasn't going to be normal."

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
"That's all part of what makes Fandom great," Dean said knowingly. "So there's a mini-Meg. Is there a Mr. Meg?"

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
"No, I never got married." she said. She took a sip of her drink and made a face. Whether that was from the drink or the fact she wasn't married was up for debate.

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Marriage isn't everything," Dean advised. "As long as you're happy."

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I know that." she said. "It's just this isn't exactly where I wanted to be at this point in my life."

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Where did you want to be?"

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't know exactly. I guess I thought I'd be working less and have more of a social life." she said. "Having a social life would be nice. God, I can't believe I resorted to Johnny of all people..."

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Dean blinked. "Johnny... Storm?"

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeeeeeah." Meg scrunched her nose up. "I'm not sure if I'm regretting that or not."

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Was there large amounts of alcohol involved?"

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm afraid not." she said. Yeah, she was regretting it now. "Just a moment of weakness. Not that Johnny isn't a great guy, I mean. It's just not something I'd usually do."

Charlie had had an enjoyable day catching up on the Island, and decided to skip the big gathering in favor of hitting seeing who was around at the bar again. She smiled wide when she got there, recognizing another face that hadn't changed. "Hey, Dean."

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Dean was getting better a this recognise the age extrapolation thing. "Charlie," he said with a big grin. "Okay, apparently everyone I know has gotten older. I bet wherever Alec is right now, he's suddenly in his 30s too."

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] girlzippo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
"It is disgusting that you're still seventeen when the rest of us are *old*," Charlie said, sitting down and signaling Tino for a drink. "So, what's happening here? I haven't gotten a good handle on what date it is, or -- hey, am I still here? Can I run into myself here today?"

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
"You're still here, though I think someone would have ran into themselves by now if it was possible. Maybe your young selves are at the actual reunion boggling about everyone else being old," Dean said. "And the plague was last week."

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] girlzippo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay, now you're really messing with my head. I can suddenly see 16-year-old me around older Dean, and being completely tongue-tied and overwhelmed. At least Rodney's the same age there." She sobered and said, "Wow, the plague. That's... okay, even after twenty years, I still remember that."

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, it's the thing that's kinda hard to forget," Dean agreed. "And I have it on good authority that older me is awesome."

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] girlzippo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Which authority is this?" Charlie teased, taking a pull from her beer. "And is older you still hunting up bogles and boogeymen and bad guys?"

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Dean nodded. "According to Sammy, yep. Which is also my good authority."

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] girlzippo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
"So no matter what kind of risks you're taking, you're still kicking? Good," Charlie said firmly. "I haven't heard from you guys in a while-- more my fault than yours, I don't have a permanent address. But I'd like to keep in better touch."

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm sure older me would like that too. Talk to older Sammy -- I'm sure he can give you any contact info you might need. And perament addresses are overrated. Just get a bunch of PO Boxes in the areas you travel and you're set."

"I've been using friends as mail drops, but why do I get the idea you're way too experienced at this already?" Charlie asked, greatly amused. "Did I ever thank you guys for helping me get over being freaked out about being a freak?"

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
"You probably have in the last 20 years that I don't know yet, yeah," Dean said with a grin.

Re: The Bar [11/19]

[identity profile] girlzippo.livejournal.com 2007-11-20 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Probably," Charlie admitted, then grinned. "But thanks again for that. It made things a lot easier back in my world."

No way was Robin going to pass up yet another opportunity to perform at Caritas. "Aha! A new face at the bar!"
