Caritas, Sunday

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders's last shift, and he was feeling a little bit -- okay, a lot wibbly and sentimental about the whole thing as he came in tonight. He thought he'd even miss Tino's olive-throwing.

And then a hail of olives came flying at him, thereby proving that Tino had actually gone ahead and figured out how to construct an olive trebuchet . . . and he wasn't so sure about missing that bit any more.

At least he had the consolation of making Tino clean up the mess.

[OOC: Up a bit early since I'm hitting the road home now! Will pick up tags from rest stops and such, and SP into tomorrow as needed -- yay for last-minute unplanned trips?]

You don't wanna hear the zombies do "Leaving on a Jet Plane," really.

The Bar

Complete with olive-besmirched bartender!

There was no way Lana could miss Anders last shift, no matter how miserable she felt. So here she was, slipping onto a stool at the bar. "Hey," she said quietly.

Re: The Bar

"Hey, you," Anders said. "What'll it be tonight?"

Was the lightness forced? Just a bit, maybe.

Re: The Bar

She shrugged. "Maybe the mint thing you make for me? Probably won't -"

She cut herself off and made herself smile. "I always like that."

He could guess what she'd been about to say, though, and he smiled gently. "Mint mojito, coming up. Hey, c'mon . . . you can always come visit and I'll make you one."

Re: The Bar

"True," Lana said with a smile. "Phoebe's always after me to come visit."

Savannah knew this was Anders's last night at Caritas, so she had come in to keep him company...

...and drink of course.

"Hey, little sis. How's the head?" asked the boy whose bruises were still pretty colorful.

Wild horses couldn't keep Eve away from Caritas tonight, man. No way she was going to let Anders leave without saying goodbye to him. Okay, sure, she could call and write and all that jazz, but the saying goodbye was something completely different.

Re: The Bar

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Bigger little sis." So to speak. "You look like I'm going to disappear at midnight or something."

Re: The Bar

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"With this place, how do we know you aren't?" she countered, laughing as she took a seat at the bar.

"I damn well better not!" objected Anders. "I only got six more days left here and I won't be cheated out of 'em, dammit."

At some point in the evening Isabel stopped by to see one of her favorite people.

Re: The Bar

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Hey, big sis." Man, it was like a dysfunctional family gathering tonight or something. Not that this was a problem.

". . . it's not like I'm leaving tonight or anything, you guys!"

Re: The Bar

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel grinned. "I know. But if I'm going to stop by for my last drink in a zombie bar, I'd rather do it when someone I know is bartending."

Re: The Bar

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

He already looked a bit subdued at the thought of 'last' anything, so his face didn't fall much more. "You lucked out then, huh? You get a cute and adorable bartender for your last drink in a zombie bar."

Of course Hoshi was there. "I'm not very fond of this people-leaving thing that goes on," she said with a frown.

Re: The Bar

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, me neither," replied Anders, who was a little perplexed and a little -- okay, a lot -- gratified. "'s why I'm putting it off another six days, y'know?"

Re: The Bar

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Well, good," said Hoshi, smiling a little. "I think that makes my night."

Re: The Bar

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Aww. Happy to help," Anders said, managing a smile. "What can I get you, Hoshi?"

Where the olive trebuchet was launched from . . .

OOC

Damn, man, look at the conga line of chicks you got there waiting for you.

Couldn't hear you, was enjoying the smell of cow manure at 80MPH!

And the data network connection speed in central CA sucks ass, dude.
