Caritas, Sunday

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders so felt weird coming to work tonight with two little girls hanging onto him, but he kind of had to. Luckily, Tino had put a couple of New Kids on the Block beach towels up over the liquor.

"Nostalgia at work there, Tino, or you just looking forward to the reunion tour?" he asked.

Artemis tugged at Anders's shirt. "Those look just like the ones you keep in the back of the linen closet at home, Daddy."

"Uh huh," Pandora chimed in. "You have Hanson ones in the study at home, too."

". . . we don't talk about that in public, girls."

And maybe that was why he threw himself so wholeheartedly into setting up the lounge for playtime before he opened the bar.

Wynter was on the stage, examining the nervous-looking zombies closely.

Victoria came up to take a look at the zombies, too. "Hi," she said to the strange girl.

Faith eyed the Zombies dubiously. It wasn't so much that she was afraid they'd try to eat her, as she wasn't sure something who's limbs didn't work properly would be able to play music very well.

But never the less, with their accompanyment, she began to sing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyaRAu0s0Eg), in a soft, clear and melodious voice, that she could never have inherited from her father.

The Bar

Shirley Temples half off tonight!

Bronwyn was sure there was an ice cream place on the island. Absolutely, totally sure. It had been there before she'd gone through the portal, anyway. So when her daddies took her out to the park, she decided to go looking for it.

Only now the ice cream place *and* daddies were losted. Hrmph. Still, this building looked interesting enough, so she goes inside.

"Uncle Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnders!" she squeals excitedly as soon as she sees who's manning the bar tonight. "Hi hi hi!"

Re: The Bar

He'd know that hyperactivity anywhere. "Bronwyn!" exclaims Anders, and when he does two little heads pop up, one on either side of him. "What're you doing here and where're your dads, huh?"

Brianna had decided to check things out while G'Kar chatted with the other grown ups. She paused as a small girl caught her interest.

"Hi," she said softly.

Matt and Maddie orbed in to Caritas, looking for something fun to do. They had been here before with their parents when they visited the island, of course. And right now, Mommy and Daddy were busy making googly eyes at each other, so they wouldn't notice that the kids took off.

"HI UNCLE ANDERS!" they chorused when the spotted him behind the bar.

"Hi Pandora and Artemis!" Matt added. Even if they weren't really his cousins, they were pretty cool.

Deadpool wasn't pleased by this virgin drink thing. "None of that! Gimme the most alcoholic thing you got and make it a double."

Yes, she's bringing kids into a bar, but Mac just had to spend about three hours outside in the park. Turned out Miles was an 'outdoors type'. There was something so wrong with that.

She lifted Amy onto her knee when she sat down, and watched to make sure Miles could clamber onto another stool alright on his own. He could, and immediately started pulling things out of his hoodie pockets to line up on the bar. Sticks, leaves and one little pot of bugs.

"Hey, Anders. You got plain juice?"

Jenny stomped into the bar, Cissney in tow. Yes, she was bringing her daughter to a bar. She was pretty sure it wasn't the first time. She helped the redhead up onto a stool, sat down next to her, and said, "Scotch, and keep it coming."

Ronan came into the bar with two of his little kidlets in tow, smiling when he saw Anders at the bar. "Hey," he said. He eyed the towels over the alcohol. "... Does that mean I can't get something for myself?" he asked. "After dealing with this little one all day," he continued, mussing Alex's hair a little, "I definitely need a Guinness."

Somehow, Cimorene had not noticed that wee children had invaded. Possibly because she sometimes still forgot about the radio in her room. "Can I have a - why are there small children running around?" Cimorene asked, politely.

Re: The Bar

[harrydresden.livejournal.com]

Harry had seen the kids running around all weekend, but had managed to avoid them almost entirely so far. So he headed to the bar, where of course there wouldn't be hordes of tiny people, right?

"Tequila, quick," Johnny said when he sat down, glancing over his shoulder before he turned back to Anders.

Romeo was fairly certain he was going to hell for taking Juliet's daughter to a bar.

But he was probably going to hell anyhow, he needed a drink badly, and a walk would be good for both of them. "You can even have chocolate milk, if you want it," he told his daughter as he helped her onto a barstool, then looked at Anders to wait for service.

Re: The Bar

[weehalfangels.livejournal.com]

Victoria decided to do a little exploring of her own and orbed into Caritas. "Uncle Anders!" she said.

Re: The Bar

No, Annette probably shouldn't be taking her daughter to a bar, but after a handwavey day of shopping, she figured a Shirley Temple was in order.

For the both of them.

"One Shirley Temple, one Shirley Temple with a little something extra in it," she said to Anders when she had his attention.

Adam only hoped that Eve wouldn't kill him for bringing Kristof into Caritas. It had been one long weekend and Adam needed a drink. He took a seat at the bar, Kristof sidling up next to him, humming happily.

Lana showed up, looking unsettled and rather wistful at the influx of kids. "Hey."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy came in with Faith. Faith was tired, but she was also really enjoying herself. The time she was spending with her teenage father was rather educational.

"Ah Shirley Temples." G'Kar strolled up to the bar. "Now those I have heard of. I'll take one." He glanced behind him at Brianna. "And perhaps a glass of milk."

"Can I get chocolate?" she asked.

"That all depends on if the nice man has it," he replied.

Hey, hey, keep it G-rated, there's kids around!
