Caritas, Sunday

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

There were new kids on the island now, but Anders had barely noticed, worried as he was about his best friend's continued MIA-ness. In fact, he was pretty lucky to remember he had to go to work tonight, and on time at that. The zombie band got a pretty sub-par tape job tonight, which in the context of an Anders-style tape job meant that it didn't include layers of foam pre-wrap and a sports training lecture, so they weren't complaining.

Tino was pretty gleeful, on the other hand; Anders spent so much time staring at his phone, hoping a text or call would come through from Bridge, that he didn't notice every time Tino flicked an olive at the back of his head.

What would you do if I sang out of tune?

Harry had heard there was a bar that didn't card here. Naturally he had to check this out.

Re: The Bar

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Well, y'know, when the bartender was underage, that had to add to the effect.

"Hey," Anders said, waving the bar rag at him. "New guy?"

Re: The Bar

[harrydresden.livejournal.com]

"New guy," Harry confirmed. "Harry Dresden. Hi."

Re: The Bar

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Samuel Anders, but just Anders is fine." He set down the bar rag and wiped his hands on his jeans, then reached over to offer a handshake. "Nice to meet you. Don't mind the zombies, they're just the band."

Re: The Bar

"Zombies?" Harry turned to stare at the band before taking the offered hand. "Actual zombies? Walking dead people? You got a necromancer running your bar or something?"

Re: The Bar

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Nah," Anders said with a shrug, ducking the olive Tino chucked at his head this time. "I think they got left behind from the huge zombie invasion a couple years back, and the old owner hired 'em on. They're really kinda harmless unless Zombie Yoko over there is in one of her moods."

He paused and took a good look at Harry. "Necromancer, huh? You know your magic."

Re: The Bar

[harrydresden.livejournal.com]

"Zombie invasion?" Poor Harry. So clueless. "And yeah. 'm a a wizard."

Reno required booze. Hard booze. He was fairly certain that he was being stalked, and he'd heard that this place didn't card, and that it had a zombie band.

He decided that he had to witness both.

Also, booze.

Re: The Bar

"'nother new guy," Anders said, because he was certain he'd have remembered seeing this guy around before. "What can I get you?"

Re: The Bar

[raspberryturk]

"Not sure if this place has the same stuff I drink back home or not, so I'll make things simple and ask for something that burns on the way down, yo."

Simple was good.

Re: The Bar

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders had not known Logan Echolls and Dick Casablancas without learning a few things, and promptly put a shot of tequila down in front of Reno. "If that doesn't burn enough for you, let me know. I might be able to find a couple of things."

Re: The Bar

[raspberryturk]

The shot of tequila was gone pretty quickly, and Reno took a moment to appraise it before shrugging his shoulders and motioning for another.

"It'll do, yo," he replied with a short nod.

Re: The Bar

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Tequila very rarely lets you down," Anders noted as he refilled the shot glass. "It's kinda early in the semester for this, though, isn't it?"

Re: The Bar

[raspberryturk]

"Never too early for this," Reno commented, idly knocking back the second shot. "The fact that there's a decent bar around here makes up for the fact that I have to even be here in the first place."

Tamaki was actually sort of tired from handwavily following Reno all over campus since they woke up in the morning. He hadn't even eaten anything, and this research of his was hard work! He'd hardly found out anything about his roomie, save for the fact that he enjoyed commoner ramen, may or may not be an evil alien who hid ray guns under his bed, and was probably now going for that booze he kept mentioning. This was, so far, almost completely fruitless.

Stifling a sigh of despair, he quietly slunk along several paces behind Reno.

Re: The Bar

[raspberryturk]

Reno, of course, continued to pay no attention to the crazy person who may or may not have been following him.

He was in a bar. If something were to jump out at him in here, it'd be a great excuse to bust a chair across someone's face. Good way to vent pent up frustration and all.

As it was, he was mostly just interested in the booze. And the musical zombies.

Re: The Bar

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

Deciding that he was tired of skulking around, he opted to slip into a shady booth in the back corner in order to observe his roomie. As far as Tamaki was concerned, Reno didn't seem to care about anyone or anything anyway, so why would he notice that his roomie was in the same bar, let alone at the very back where he wasn't in Reno's line of sight to begin with?

He considered that perhaps it was time to take a break from the mission. Research was fine, but he was really hungry! That and he kind of wanted to see if they'd make him a fruity tiki drink or something.

Re: The Bar

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Anders said when he noticed yet another new face. A new face attached to someone who was acting a little oddly. "Can I get you something?"

Re: The Bar

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

It occurred to Tamaki that he was in a bar. A bar that did not card. While he'd never actually considered underaged drinking, he was sure that if he got into any trouble he may just be able to buy his way out. Of course, then his cover would be blown! He wanted to learn more about "commoners," not frighten them away from him.

"When in Rome..." The words touched in his mind and in that moment he made it up. "Yes! Yes, that would be great. A tropical Mai-Tai, my good man! Please." Fleetingly, he wondered if this bar served the "nachos" that his new friend Ferris had mentioned the night before. He opted not to ask, since he didn't want to disappoint Ferris by trying nachos when not in his presence. No, he would just - hey, did they serve any sort of food in here? "Is there a menu," he asked warily, wondering if he was going to be ridiculed for what he thought was such a simple and silly question.

Re: The Bar

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Tropical Mai-Tais were a bit outside of Anders's expertise, but he snapped his fingers and yelled, "Tino! Get the man a Mai-Tai, would you? And put those damn olives down!"

In a possibly whiplash-inducing reversal, he turned and gave Tamaki a friendly, if apologetic, smile. "Far as I know since I've been working here, we don't have a menu, but we might be able to whip something up. What did you have in mind?"

I . . . really have no idea why the TV theme songs.

Re: OOC

[princetragique.livejournal.com]

Because TV theme songs are awesome and sometimes nostalgic?
