Caritas [Tuesday evening]

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

Robin's New Year's resolutions this year had included taking up yoga, quitting smoking, and cutting back on drinking.

Tonight, five days into 2010, Robin strode into the bar and irritably threw an inexplicably tattered yoga mat into the back room.

She followed this by lighting up a cigarette and pouring herself a beer.

Robin was good at sticking to her convictions. Totally. The one thing cheering her up was that tonight Canada was going to beat the USA for World Junior Hockey. She would take solace in that.

[um, I'm around, for the first time in like three weeks. Yay holidays and the end of term? ETA: THANKS TO longislandiceme FOR HOCKEY INFO]

Henry was making a habit of this drinking-even-though-I'm-not-really-supposed-to thing, and he found himself at the bar again on Tuesday. It was more about being sociable than it was about the drinking, anyhow, he reasoned.

"Just a beer," he said with a brief smile. "Thank you."

"Ooh, you're new," Robin said, keen as always as she went to pull the beer. "Teacher, or am I slacking at my job and you have a business on the island?"

Re: The Bar

"No, I'm all shiny and new," Henry said. "But I'm neither, I'm afraid. I'm the school librarian. Is this place really small enough that it's the bartender's job to keep track of everyone?"

Re: The Bar

"Nope, but it's small enough that the deputy mayor also tends bar. I'm Robin, hi," she said, tossing off a wave as she brought over his beer.

"I'm Henry," he said, with a wave of his own as he tried to place where he'd heard that name. "It's good to meet you and your many hats. I think your fiancé mentioned you, back at the airport."

Even Alysha's 'influence' couldn't get her stupid American tv to pick up the WJC gold medal game. So she came to the bar in hopes that were realised as soon as she walked in.

"Oh good, you do have the game," she gushed to the girl behind the bar. "You'd think it was invisible for all the States' tv cares."

"I had to make Tino find the station," Robin noted, already beaming because she loved her fellow Canadians when she could find them. "Thank god someone here appreciates it. Aside from me, anyway."

Re: The Bar

[justagalegirl.livejournal.com]

"God, yes," Alysha said instantly. "My cousins would've killed me if I'd missed." Also it gave her an excuse to leave her phone at home. "Think we can keep from starting a fight with the Americans who can't accept their hockey inferiority?"

Re: The Bar

"In here, yes, because the bar'll throw out anyone who throws a punch," Robin offered. "Outside...I don't know. They're awfully insecure about it."

Re: The Bar

[justagalegirl.livejournal.com]

She snorted. "Maybe winning seven World Juniors in a row will convince 'em. I'm Alysha Gale by the way. New teacher."
Much like others Adrian, she seemed to expect a bit of recognition at the name.

Re: The Bar

[one-who-goes.livejournal.com]

"Hockey fan?" Henry asked, with a nod of greeting. "I'm aware that's probably a stupid question. Hi, I'm Henry."

Re: The Bar

[justagalegirl.livejournal.com]

"Alysha Gale," she replied, turning to examine him. There was something she couldn't quite put her finger on but mm. She gave him a smile and offered her hand. "And yeah, watching my cousins play for years'll do it."

Re: The Bar

[one-who-goes.livejournal.com]

"I can skate, but I never played except in gym class," Henry admitted as he took the hand and shook it firmly. Running was his sport, as much as he had a sport. "Not a bad sport to watch, though ... and it's a pleasure to meet you, Alysha Gale."

After making a call, Jaina headed to the bar, breathed a sigh of relief that a owner was not there because she didn't want to go to jail tonight, and said, "Can you just like, line up the shots?"

Re: The Bar

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"Are we talking shots with cutesy names and flavors, or just straight liquor?" Robin asked, staring at not-Brooke.

Re: The Bar

[solo_sword]

"Nothing cutesy. I want to see if maybe I can't kill enough brain cells to forget a day," she replied.

Re: The Bar

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"What happened?" Robin asked only after three shots of tequila were neatly placed in front of Jaina.

Re: The Bar

[weetuskenraider]

When Jaina said "You are going to come drink with me" in that tone of voice, Tahiri didn't argue, regardless of whether or not she'd heard radio, which she had.

So there she was, dropping onto the next stool (okay, kind of climbing up onto it, but details) with a grimace on her face that had been there all day. "So. Guess who was in my class today."

Re: The Bar

[solo_sword]

Jaina could make a guess, and looked appropriately horrified. "You're kidding me."

Re: The Bar

[weetuskenraider]

"Both of them," Tahiri replied, eyeing the shot glasses with much less doubt than she normally would. (Seriously, the girl was a lightweight.) "I thought Ben was going to burn a hole through Chuck's head just by glaring at him."
