Caritas, Wednesday Night

[neverfaithful.livejournal.com]

Last night's radio broadcast had given Faith an idea, and Faith and Ideas were dangerous things. So there was a huge jar on the bar countertop that said:

STRIPPER POLE FUND

with a little disclaimer at the bottom:

If Faith's boss don't go for the idea, Faith's keeping the money.

Caritas was open.

Wouldn't the zombies look nice with a stripper pole up there?

Barney was exhausted after spending the last night or day or maybe two - it was hard to keep track - with some exceptionally buxom island natives.

That didn't stop him from reading the sign and loading the jar with cash. "If the old man puts in a pole, I expect a private show," he told Faith, slumping onto a stool.

It was hard to keep track of that kinda thing. Faith sympathized, there.

"Old man puts in a pole, you can hang out and watch like everyone else," she snickered. "You get your own pole, and you can get a private show. Deal?"

"You drive a hard bargain," Barney mused. "There would be many benefits to installing a pole in the house." He wondered how Vala would feel about private shows.

Or Harriet. Mmm...Coog!

"Pretty sure I ain't the only girl who could get talked into that kinda thing," she grinned. "Get a pole, you might have all kinds of private showings going on. Most girls like the thought of struttin' their stuff and don't got the balls to do it in public."

Dawn bounced into the bar, grinned at the sign, and dropped in a couple of dollars before plopping herself onto a stool.

Faith cracked up. "Hey, kiddo. We get a pole in here, you ain't allowed to dance on it. What're you drinking tonight?"

Re: The Bar

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"How come?" She asked, having no intention of dancing on it until Faith said she couldn't. "Um...surprise me?"

Renee put down five dollars for the fun.

"I'll give more if it's in your apartment instead."

Re: The Bar

[neverfaithful.livejournal.com]

"Wonder if Xander would let me install one," Faith smirked. "If I get one, do I get a show, too?"

Renee dancing on a pole, that'd be worth the whole price of getting one.

Re: The Bar

[not-an-answer.livejournal.com]

"If you do first."

Sokka had heard radio last night, yes he had. He dropped a ten in the jar and tried to pretend like he wasn't looking around for anyone who might be going for the advertised free drink.

"Something fun and exciting," he ordered, giving Faith his smoothest grin.

Re: The Bar

[neverfaithful.livejournal.com]

"You okay there?" Faith asked, raising an eyebrow. "You know the pole ain't gonna magically show up when I get enough cash, right? And how fun and exciting we talkin'?"

The kid did not have the aura of a big drinker to him.

Re: The Bar

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I'm just contributing money to a worthy cause," Sokka insisted. "I'm not expecting magic, just hoping your charity raises enough."

He shrugged. "Give me a... I don't know. Something fruity, something fizzy, something with umbrellas and a twisty straw...?"

"Yo, Faith!" Reno grinned as he sauntered over to the bar.

It was his favorite bar ever, after all. Even more than that one with the cheap booze in Wutai that he liked so much. And it was a good night, and he was going to make this quick, because he had a Rikku in the Lounge, but the sign was worth investigating.

"How's the pole fund goin'?"

Re: The Bar

[neverfaithful.livejournal.com]

Faith picked up the jar and rattled it. "'S not bad," she grinned. "Dunno if Jolee's gonna go for it. But the hot cop says she'll dance for me if I get my own pole, so if he don't, I'm blowing this on one for me. Either way, gonna be some hot pole action."

Faith never met an innuendo she didn't like.

Re: The Bar

[raspberryturk]

"A pole's a pole," Reno mused, then reached into his pockets. "Your pole fund take checks?"

What? A pole was totally worth it. Even if Jolee didn't go for it and he never got to see the damn thing.

The Lounge

[neverfaithful.livejournal.com]

Especially if Jolee decides to fire Faith's ass for asking.

Re: The Lounge

[raspberryturk]

Hey, a lounge!

Hey, a Reno in said lounge! Waiting for a Rikku!

And nobody would blame him one bit if maybe he'd started on the drinking early. Beer. Nothing hardcore. Yet.

Mmmm. Booze!

Re: The Lounge

[the_merriest]

Hey, a lounge!

Hey, a Reno in said lounge! And a Rikku bouncing in to greet him!

She'd stopped to get a fuzzy navel from that bartender chick first. Mmmmmm, self-modding. And dropped a few bucks into the jar, because really, stripper poles, that seemed like a cool thing to support.

"You're alive!" she grinned, sliding into the booth next to him. "And not buried under paperwork! I somewhat remember you, you're Rocco, right? Ringo. Hmmm. I know it started with an R."

Re: The Lounge

[raspberryturk]

"R-somethin'," Reno smirked. "Been so damn long since I heard someone say it, it's gettin' fuzzy. I think I seen Rude on some paperwork somewhere. Maybe that's my name. Or Rufus. Or Razor Weed. See, I got options, yo."

Okay. So maybe he wasn't a Razor Weed.

"How you been, Rikku?"

Gimme your best stripper moves, people. I'll even go first (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y107/pizzaweasel317/lj%20stuff/dancingeliza.gif).

(Also: sorry this is late, RL ate my head.)

Re: The OOC

[needsaparrot]

Xander would totally let her install a stripper pole. After someone cleaned up the mess from his skull exploding.

Re: The OOC

[the_merriest]

THAT IS SO COOL. BEST LANDLORD EVER.

THIS REQUIRES DROPPING FAITH IN TO THE PARK-RENOVATION-POST-THING.

FOR GREAT SKULL EXPLOSIONS AND STRIPPER-POLE JUSTICE.

EVENTUALLY I WILL TURN MY CAPSLOCK OFF.
