Caritas, Wednesday 10/8

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

Penelope was in a very good mood when she came into work tonight. The band singing 'Take a chance on me' only had her skipping behind the counter.

Aside from her very nice conversationn with Dean yesterday, she had a date to the Homecoming dance with someone she actually knew and liked. She was practically giddy over this and wondered what someone wore to these sorts of dances. Maybe Claire would know; she'd have to ask her.

She started wiping down the already clean counter, singing as she went along, "If you change your mind, I'm the first in line. Honey I'm still free..."

Tino just stared at her. And he might have been smiling. But it was highly doubtful.

Caritas is open.

Ned realized that if he spent anymore time in his room thinking about Homecoming, he might go insane.

So, he'd actually gone out. He peeked inside Caritas, checking for familiar faces and actually came inside when he saw one.

"Hi, Penelope," he said. "I didn't know you worked here."

"Good evening, Ned," she replied with a bright smile. "This is my third week, maybe my fourth, but yes, I am employed here and I really enjoy it. May I get you something to drink?"

"Um, hmm." He hated that simple questions sometimes stumped him. "Do you have hot chocolate?"

Re: The Bar

Penelope glanced over at Tino and he nodded ever so slightly. "Yes, Ned, we do. Would you like whipped cream too?" Mmm, hot chocolate and whipped cream.

"Oh, sure, thanks," he said, nodding. "Whipped cream sounds good. Figure I'll get a start on winter drinks."

Claire waved a little to Ned. "Hey, I haven't seen you except class since Blair's party thing. What's up?"

Re: The Bar

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"I've been a little anti social," he admitted. "Mostly been trying to figure out what to do at dances."

Re: The Bar

[swipedthatfoot.livejournal.com]

Claire made a little face. "Homecoming, right? I think I've decided not to go."

Jack...was enjoying the music, oddly enough. Very catchy.

Must be some new stuff. "Hey! How's it going?" he asked as he approached the bar.

Re: The Bar

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

"Good evening, Jack!" Penelope greeted cheerfully. "It's going very well, thank you. May I get you something to drink?"

Re: The Bar

"Beer would be good," he said. "This is great. What is it?" he asked, headnodding at the band.

Re: The Bar

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

Penelope fixed him a draft beer and placed the chilled mug on a napkin in front of him. "It is ABBA! I like them very much. Tell me how you've been, Jack."

Peyton stopped in for a drink and was surprised to see Penelope there. "Hey, I didn't know you worked here!"

Re: The Bar

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Peyton!" she grinned wide. "I do, yes! This is my third or fourth week now; I've lost track. How are you tonight?"

Re: The Bar

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Good," Peyton said. "I'm glad I ran into you. I wanted to make sure you were okay after Ethics class. You were gone so quickly, I missed you."

Re: The Bar

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

Penelope instantly looked contrite and hung her head. "I'm so sorry, Peyton. That exercise frightened me terribly. I didn't mean to leave it all on you, taking care of us like you did."

Claire climbed up on a barstool and spun a little as she waited for Penelope to notice her. "Hey."

[OOC: Still wanna do the thing with the scarf tonight?]

Re: The Bar

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

"Claire! Hey!" she grinned wide. "How are you tonight?"


[Yes!]

Re: The Bar

[swipedthatfoot.livejournal.com]

Claire tilted a hand back and forth in equivocation. "Eh. Done with classes for the week, but now I have all this time to kill. And the whole school's all wrapped up in Homecoming."

"You?"

Re: The Bar

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

"I'm in a very good mood, Claire. I have a date for Homecoming!" Yes, she was pretty excited despite Claire's so-so demeanor.

"What can I get you to drink?"

The Lounge

Where you can listen to ABBA from here!

OOC

I spent the day with my mom whose ring tone was Take a chance on me. It will not leave my head!

if you’re feeling down, if you’re all alone when the pretty birds have flown, honey I’m still free.
