Caritas - Saturday Evening [Open]

Marion showed up to work on time and made herself a strong Jack and coke before getting to work. You needed to be at least a little buzzed before you taped up those zombies.

It had been kind of a staple that got groans and vaulted peanuts from her friends back home who thought she needed to mix it up a bit, but Daisy hadn't sung it yet this side of the pond, and it was her first time hitting up the karaoke here, so she couldn't pass it up.

The opening chords sounded to Stand By Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FX--7gFHkU0), and she began, using the phrase in its most approximate and all-encompassing way, to sing along: she missed every note, came in too soon or too late on every line, and misread most of them, despite how often she'd done it.

No one could accuse Daisy of not being passionate about it, though.

He hadn't heard that song in a long fucking time and the last time he had, it'd been blaring off some cheap movie he'd found late one night.

This was kind of better even if she wasn't the best singer. He wasn't a fucking music critic so he didn't care.

Between peals of laughter and the occasional duck of his head to hide that laughter, he whistled and then, once she'd finished, stood up and clapped loudly.

One day, he was going to think on how easily some people could talk him into things. One day.

Today, he was going to sing a fucking song. Yeah, he was amazed too.

As soon as the song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We8P_Ww27hY) kicked in, he regretted the choice because, goddammit, this meant movement and he really couldn't not move to this song.

So, he did. The movement was too bad, he was agile and mobile enough but that meant he missed so many fucking words, inserted words that weren't meant to go there, missed notes, switched words, crooned when he should have drawled and screeched when he should have...well, not screeched.

But, the movement was pretty damn good. He'd always had good hips, at least. The voice, that was another fucking story.

Daisy just about damn near choked on her drink, but losing that small gulp from having to spit it out (and the subsequent glare from Tino) was entirely worth it. No fair showing her up with moves! Well, then, Daisy was just going to have to show Loki up with all the whooping and hollering. And one rather impressive, fingers-in-the-mouth wolf-whistle.

Her plan of going out last night had ended up getting tossed out, so Saturday evening found Angela in Caritas. There really weren't many places more interesting to go on an island this size.

She hopped onto a stool and settled in with her elbows on the bar.

Re: Bar

"Hi," Marion greeted with a smile. "What can I get you?"

Re: Bar

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela grinned back. "Cosmo," she decided after a beat. "Please." Drinks with Angela were probably more often than not picked on a whim, or by what color they came out as.

"Do you actually work here?" It was hard to tell, since the people behind the bar usually didn't in her experience.

Re: Bar

"Uh, yeah. Have been since October," Marion said as she was making Angela's drink. "Why, do I not look like a bartender?"

Re: Bar

Angela considered her a moment, and shrugged. "Not specifically, just nine out of ten times I get served by someone who isn't," she said easily. "Thought I should ask."

The cold was not helping his mood or his foot. Tully needed a drink or twelve.

"Hi," Marion greeted. "What can I get you?"

Re: Bar

"Let's start with a rum and coke, and see where the evening takes me from there."

Re: Bar

[canoutdrinkyou.livejournal.com]

"Sounds like a plan," Marion said with a smile. "Rum and coke, coming up."

The trip home from Princeton was a long one but Indy just wasn't quite ready to go home just yet.

"Hello, Marion," Indy said as he approached the bar. "Any chance you have some good whiskey back there?"

Re: Bar

[canoutdrinkyou.livejournal.com]

"I think Jolee splurged on the good stuff," Marion said, turning to inspect the whiskey collection. "And hi."

Re: Bar

[cautiousfellow.livejournal.com]

"Good. Give me-"

He held up his fingers to show what at least be at least one serving of booze then thought better of it and doubled the amount.

"That much, if you don't mind. How've you been?"

Re: Bar

[canoutdrinkyou.livejournal.com]

Marion raised her eyebrows at the amount but got the whiskey without saying anything. It was the holidays, after all. That was reason enough to drink sometimes.

"Pretty good. Managed to make a Thanksgiving dinner Mutt approved of. He's going through a picky food stage," Marion said, sliding the tumbler of whiskey towards Indy. "What about you?"

Leading Loki in (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/3387807.html?thread=142180255#t142180255), Daisy went for the bar, needing to think a moment about what to sing, and ordering her usual orange and vodka right off the bat. "Anything for you?" she asked. "Wet the vocal chords a little? It's on me."

Re: Bar

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Let's just go with a water," Loki told the bartender. "No need for me to sing fucking badly and trip over my own two feet because I've got some of the good stuff in me. One reason to laugh at me is good enough."

[No worries on the crashing soon zomg omg!]

Re: Bar

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"There can never be too many reasons," Daisy commented, giving Tino a smile and a nod of thanks as her drink arrived and she took a quick first sip. "Besides, you'll do fine. I'll even go first, I just need a touch of a drink to warm me up a bit."

Re: Bar

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"You're just encouraging me so I won't fucking chicken out and take off while you're up there," he said. Not that he would. "Either that or you have a lot of confidence in me for some weird reason. In my singing, at least."
