Caritas - Tuesday Evening [Open]

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

"NOBODY TALK TO ME!" Marshall shouted as soon as he came into the bar. "NOBODY."

Marshall pointed at the zombie drummer. "Especially not you."

No, he didn't have a specific reason for pointing at the drummer. He just wanted to be dramatic.

THIS...IS...SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Loki looked like he'd rather be anywhere but there as he took the stage. He whispered something to the zombies before stepping up to the mic.

"Before I sing, I'd just like to say, up close, the zombies are really fucking ugly and they resemble Tino."

With that, he cleared his throat and started to sing.

"Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs?
I've got twenty!
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more!

His voice got progressively higher as the lyrics progressed until he was almost squeaking and looking like he'd just passed a kidney stone.

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'
Walking around on those - what do you call 'em?
Oh - feet!

Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strolling along down a - what's that word again?
Street

Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free - wish I could be
Part of that world

He added, for some fucking reason, a few twirls during the last stanza. Fuck. He felt like he was on fucking drugs or something.

What would I give if I could live out of these waters?
What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?
Bet'cha on land they understand
That they don't reprimand their daughters
Proper women sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it - what's the word?
Burn?

When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love, love to explore that world up above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world

Since he knew how the movie went, he softened his voice, almost whispering the final words before the song ended and he bolted off the stage.

Daisy was absolutely dying with laughter, but not nearly enough that she couldn't give Loki the very loud and resounding cheering at the end of his song. Standing ovation and everything. She even tried the whole fingers-in-mouth whistling thing, but it didn't work so she just whooped a bit more.

Sarah applauded until her hands stung.

Re: Band

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

Sarah supposed she should have been insulted, but she was just grateful she didn't entirely hate the song she had to sing. She did it loudly and with a lot of arm-waving that she might have stolen from Celine Dion skits on SNL.

Take a look at me now and take a taste of the money
I'm not in it for the bread I'm in it for the gravy, honey
Step on the thin ice lightly
And check out the show twice nightly
'Cause I'm on the stage tonight
And if the price is right
I will amaze before the light I crave the light
Blinding white I need the light tonight

Take a look at me now and take a look at my billing
I'm not in it as an extra, I'm in it for the killing
Inflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent me
'Cause I'm so expressive and I'm so obsessed with my ego
My ego and it's message
Oh inform the press, invite the guests
I need the press tonight

Do you remember acting out your youth
A Romeo resplendent on an orange case
Do you remember how I would recite
And how I'd blow my lines and hide my face

Well maybe it was childish, foolish, before schoolish
Immaturish, lose your coolish
But I had to grow and prove my ego

Take a look at me now and take a taste of the money
I'm not in it for the bread I'm in it for the gravy, honey
Inflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent me
Oh 'cause I'm so expressive and I'm so obsessed with my ego
My ego and it's message
Oh inform the press, invite the guests
I need the press tonight

And of course Daisy was going to give Sarah just as much of a fan section that Loki had. Even if she didn't twirl.

Re: Band

Loki found the nearest lighter, lit it and held it in the air.

I KNOW IT WAS YOU, FREDO. YOU BROKE MY HEART.

Mina sat at the bar, still a little taken aback by her experiences of the day.

"Gin, please," she asked.

Re: Bar

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

Marshall quickly and efficiently got Mina her gin all while avoiding actually having to speak to her.

See, he was learning from the mistakes he made this morning.

"Hi, Marshall. Can I have a..." what did she want? "...something strong?"

Re: Bar

A rather glum-looking Hoshi took a seat at the bar. "Beer," she said. It might not be safe for her to say anything more than that.

Re: Bar

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

Daisy's stop at the Freelance Police not only made her a little later to Caritas than she'd originally intended, but it also heightened quite a bit her need for a drink.

"Vodka. Orange."

That's right; she went right on ahead and skipped the and. This was urgent.

"Hey," Ben said, taking a seat. "Can I have a club soda? I try not to drink alcohol because I have deeply rooted issues with being responsible and I don't feel like I can afford to ever lose control even for a second."

That was more than Ben expected to say. "Please?"

Re: Bar

[saveyoulater.livejournal.com]

Sarah'd had a long day before she even made it out of the apartment building, but it didn't show as she sidled up to the bar. "Corona, please?" she requested sweetly.

Tully had spent the day doing what he could up at the house, thanking God for space heaters, and ranting about the weather, and other things. Now he really needed a drink.

Robin stopped in at Caritas to try to get some hot chocolate. He kept forgetting how cold it got in these northern climes.

Re: Bar

[likethestore.livejournal.com]

Figuring the day couldn't get any worse -- Hutt smell, ew -- K-Mart figured Caritas would be a decent way to end the day.

Okay, really she just wanted to see if someone would give her alcohol. Because damn, she needed it.

And she looked it, too, as she took a spot at the bar.

Re: Bar

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

With the fucking island serving up a steaming pile of weirdness, Loki had thought about staying home and avoiding the pain. That would just bring more questions he pushed his way into the bar, got a bottle of water, nearly whimpered at not being able to drink alcohol and went to look around for the reasons he was here.

After taking care of Savannah, Wyatt had wanted to talk to Chris for a few minutes, so he promised to meet Isabel at the bar. After the day's worry, they needed a drink.

She ordered a drink from Tino and settled in to wait.

Re: Bar

Ronan decided that today? Definitely merited alcohol.

It wasn't even that he'd said anything too terribly bad; he merely thought that there'd be lots of other people who'd said much worse, and so would definitely need alcohol themselves. Ergo, to the bar, so as to laugh his ass off at their misfortune.

... Ronan was occasionally very bad at that 'good wizard' thing.

"Barkeep!" he announced, with a suitable linguistic flourish. "I would like a Guinness!"
