Caritas, Tuesday

[shagthis.livejournal.com]

Being behind the bar on a Tuesday was so far not all that different from being in front of it.

"Tino, I am warning you, put that away," Jake wagged a finger at him. "That is not workplace approp- oh god, I'll be right back, I need to wash my eyes out with bleach now."

Once he was sure it was safe to return, Jake came back out, although he couldn't stop a little involuntary shudder every time he happened to glance Tino's way.

Caritas was open! ...If slightly disgusted. Gross, Tino.

Stage!

Meet me in the morning and I'll be happy as a clown
You'll just be getting up and I'll still be getting down
The band is getting tired but they don't give a damn
so blow the girls a kiss and give the boys a hand

Bar!

You can take the sunshine, I can take moonshine
You can take the high road, I can take the low
but later in the evening the one thing i believe in is
I'm on the road to ruin it's the only way to go

Sherlock, it seemed, was checking out all the places in town that might be of note. Starting with Caritas.

Though, at the moment, he was staring at the band as though he wanted to dissect them. Probably because he did.

"Never seen a zombie before, b'y?" Jake asked. Never you mind that he hadn't seen a zombie before his first visit to Caritas.

"Not really," Sherlock replied, leaning back against the bar to watch them lumber about. "Well, not ones that are actually dead."

"They're harmless," Jake said, although this guy didn't look like he really needed to be reassured about their presence. "Shagging awful singers, but then, who isn't, in a karaoke bar?" he shrugged.

"Then we can pray no one feels the need to sing tonight."

For the love of all that is holy, people. It would end in tears.

"So- you come in with the new crop of teachers?" Jake guessed.

A bar? Alcohol? Going home after a combination of things and seeing what she could blow up?

Count Kūkaku in!

She just had one question, leaning her good arm on the bar as she leaned in and asked, "I gonna get my ass booted out if I light up in this joint?"

You never knew, these days.

"A pipe, I mean," she clarified after a second, because, really, it needed to be clarified in her case.

Re: Bar!

Jake being Jake, he actually had to make a concerted effort to drag his gaze away from her... assets, and up to her face. But he managed it, at least.

"Now why would I do a thing like that to an arse like yours?" he replied with a grin.

Re: Bar!

[boobs-and-bombs.livejournal.com]

"Good answer," said Kūkaku. Not because of the complimentary elements of the comment; those went right over her head. But because it now meant she could fish her pipe out from who even knows where, put it into place, and deftly light it up in her smooth, practiced, one-armed way. She breathed in the smoke deeply without making a big deal of it, let out a stream of smoke between barely parted lips, and let the long pipe rest.

"How about a beer? I don't care. Something local."

Re: Bar!

[shagthis.livejournal.com]

Local beer tasted like piss in Jake's opinion, but who was he to refuse a lady's request? "There ye go, b'y," he said with a nod, sliding a pint over.

Re: Bar!

[boobs-and-bombs.livejournal.com]

The pipe was left hanging as Kūkaku easy caught the sliding glass in her hand.

Somehow, it managed to stay right where it was as she took a sip.

What? It's not like she could just hold the pipe with her other hand, here.

"Ugh, this tastes awful!" she said, then sipped again. "I like it."

Re: Bar!

[shagthis.livejournal.com]

"Lord God, woman. Your tastebuds terrify me."

Re: Bar!

Consider Sherlock possibly the only man to not get stuck staring at Kūkaku's breasts. Possibly. There must be another one out there somewhere, right?

"It's technically illegal in this state," he said. "So goes the smoker's rights."

Re: Bar!

[boobs-and-bombs.livejournal.com]

Kūkaku was going to take a moment and blink at the man.

And smoke.

"What are you?" she eventually muttered. "Some kinda cop?"

If he was, she was totally throwing an explosive at the zombies and hightailing it out of here. Not because she felt she was guilty of anything in particular; she just wasn't exactly fond of authorities that weren't her, more often than not.

Re: Bar!

[3patchproblem.livejournal.com]

"God no." Cops were simple, Kūkaku. Don't insult his intelligence like that!

Re: Bar!

[boobs-and-bombs.livejournal.com]

Well, at least there was that.

"Then piss off," Kūkaku said, and continued to smoke.

Soaking wet and annoyed, Sherlock Holmes walked back into the bar. And right over to poor Jake.

He took a breath and hauled back to punch him.

Re: Bar!

"Well, shag you too!" Jake roared as he clutched his nose with one hand and then let his own fist go flying in Sherlock's general direction.

Which only meant they both ended up in that damn pond (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/5423198.html?view=211141726#t211141726)

Lounge!

[shagthis.livejournal.com]

A penny in my pocket, a bucket in the well
Then Saturday was Sunday and I could hear the bells
Deliver me from evil, forgiveness and for love
You're headin for confession and I'm headin to the pub

Back Room!

[shagthis.livejournal.com]

Nancy in the corner, now I'm moving in
I thought I'd take me chances but I took one on the chin
I finally got her number, she wrote it on a cup
I phone her in the morning and woke her mother up

OOC!

[shagthis.livejournal.com]

She wished that I would go to bed, I only wished her well
and then she told me Jesus said that I'd go straight to hell
she's followin his footsteps, I'm following my nose
we're heading for the same place, I'll see you down the road.

I love this song a ridiculous amount.

Re: OOC!

[weetuskenraider]

. . . that song is delightful.

And so Jake.
