Caritas - Monday evening [Open]

[all4thewookiees.livejournal.com]

Jolee understood that today was Memorial Day on the island and in the country Fandom used to be attached to. In that vein, Jolee took a moment to think of all the people he had known in wartime.

That moment became a minute. That minute became a half hour. Then he started writing names on a bar napkin because he thought he was repeating some. As time went on, Jolee came to a conclusion. "Dammit. I really am old."

[OOC: Bar's open, I'm around, and Jolee's old.]

If you count the people who died in battle...

The Bar [5/26]

Amber plopped down at the bar. "Hi. I'm boooored. Make me somethin' fun and fruity that'll make me happy?"

"I won't be doing anything of the sort," Jolee said, trying to figure out how to spell some Wookiee names. He had to do those phonetically. That wasn't easy. "But don't worry, Tino will."

Sure enough, Tino brought over a banana daiquiri. "There you go," Jolee said.

"Oh, I thought you worked here. Sorry for bein' all demandin' like," Amber said, managing to look sheepish.

The banana daiquiri was good. "Thanks."

"No apologies necessary," Jolee said. "I own the place. But unless you want to risk a trip to the clinic, you're better off getting anything that needs to be mixed from Tino."

"I'll remember that next time I come in and you're in and I want a mixed drink. Usually it just doesn't happen often 'cause I don't come in often." Amber paused, took another sip of her drink. "Lately I've been comin' in more so disregard that last sentence."

"I think I'll remember it just to be contrary," Jolee said. "I'm old. I'm allowed to do that."

Re: The Bar [5/26]

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Are all old people contrary?" Amber asked. She didn't have the first clue about old people. Not unless they were dead and she was having to make them look pretty. Or about as pretty as you could make a dead person look.

Jack waved at Amber.

Amber waved back at Jack.

"Hi! How's your summer?"

Re: The Bar [5/26]

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber raised her brows. "Jack? I just talked to you the other day. But my summer is goin' great. How's yours?"

Re: The Bar [5/26]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. But that was then. Things could have changed. ...you haven't turned into an animal lately, have you?"

Re: The Bar [5/26]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack wandered into the bar. "Hi. Beer me?" That's pretty much how he think it works.

Re: The Bar [5/26]

[all4thewookiees.livejournal.com]

"That's a drink I can serve by myself," Jolee noted as Tino brought a beer over. "Not that I'm going to. Thank you, Tino."

Re: The Bar [5/26]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Thanks, Tino. Thanks, Old Man." Jack started sipping his beer.

"You have a mullet," Murdock pointed out as he strolled by.

Re: The Bar [5/26]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"I have a what?" he asked, looking for the commentmaker.

Re: The Bar [5/26]

[crazypilotman.livejournal.com]

"Your hair," he replied.

Re: The Bar [5/26]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"I like my hair. Why does everyone talk about my hair?" he asked, checking to make sure it was perfect. It was.

"I didn't say there was anything wrong with it," Murdock rolled his eyes a little. "Just pointing it out. Ain't exactly seen too many of them 'round here, ya know dude?"

The Lounge [5/26]

[all4thewookiees.livejournal.com]

... Jolee really knew a lot of people who are now dead.

Re: The Lounge [5/26]

[crazypilotman.livejournal.com]

Murdock snagged a beer from Tino and claimed a chair in the lounge by merely flopping himself into it. Just sitting back and watching the other patrons.

But unless you're a Skywalker, it's not like anyone can have the same name twice, so he has to remember all of these unique names. That hardly seems fair.
