Caritas: Friday Night

Jessica knew there were visitors to the island tonight, so she expected the bar to be busy. So before she opened up for the night, she repeated a mantra to herself about not biting anybody no matter how much she wanted real blood.

Tino kept edging nervously away from her for some reason.

I'm going to be AFK for a couple hours but will pick up pings when I get back if LJ is coughing up the comments and I'm not high on NyQuil. Or even if I am high on NyQuil. Forgive any typos. :)

After the carnival, Leda wanted something to drink, and she wanted the kind of ambiance that only a place with Zombies on stage could provide.

She wondered how they kept them from smelling.

After the Carnival, Romeo made plans to meet Reno at the bar for a few drinks.

He promised Dojima this would not be the kind of 'few drinks' that turned into 'and by the way, we're running off to join the circus.' Though he could never really be sure.

He smiled at the bartender as he slid onto his stool. "Will you laugh at me if I order an appletini?"

"She might not, but I will," Reno cooed, stepping up behind Romeo.

It was a Turk thing. If Romeo wasn't used to it by now, Reno would be concerned or something, really.

"How you been, man?"

It was a Turk thing, so Romeo didn't jump.

... much.

"I've been well," he answered, grin on his face. "School's school, but I am here, and that makes everything a little bit better. How's teaching?"

In response to that question, Reno just wrinkled his nose a little.

"Some of the students call me 'Professor Reno,'" he confided. "Makes me feel friggin' old, yo. Which is sad, considerin'."

He had a student in his first term teaching who was older than he was, after all.

"Other than that, though? It ain't half bad."

"I'm 20 in a month, and you're past that," Romeo pointed out. "I think we are old. Even if I still need a false ID at home."

He glanced Reno over. "You could try 'Master Reno,'" he offered. "It doesn't sound quite so elderly."

"Nah, not really," Reno agreed, "but that'd confuse the shit outta the little Jedi around here, I think."

... Which would actually be kind of funny, wouldn't it? Something for him to think about later, maybe.

"You say that," Romeo observed, "as if confusing Jedi would be a bad thing."

"What'd be even better," Reno decided, in that imperious tone that suggested that Reno was coming up with the best idea ever which was naturally complete and utter bullcrap, "would be if I started collectin' titles, yo. Grand-high Professor Master Guru President King Reno of the Turks Esquire, PHD."

Most of which he'd forget in about three seconds.

"And your friends, of course," -- Romeo said, after a spate of laughing into his fist -- "might call you something shorter. Pookie?"

"Schnookums," Reno corrected without missing a beat. "Pookie's not sensitive enough."

"Congratulations," Romeo said, clapping Reno on the arm. "Thou art new-christened Schnookums for the rest of the weekend. I hope the new name treats thee well."

He had no idea why he'd gone all Verona there.

And in response to that, it was all Reno could do to laugh and flag Tino down.

"Tino, my man! A round of somethin' hard to celebrate my new title, yo!"

He could totally rock the Schnookums, damn it.

Mat had been drinking steadily since about three, which meant that we was out of stuff in his mini-bar.

Venue change!

"Ale please," he said with a slightly bleary smile for the pretty girl he didn't recognize.

"And one for me as well," Romeo added, also laughing. "This round is on me. I couldn't make my friend pay for his own celebration."

"And see, this is why Romeo's my main man," Reno decided, reaching over to clap Romeo on the shoulder before pulling himself up onto a barstool. "He's such a givin' individual, yo."

Bonus points where liquor was involved, okay?

"So, how you been hangin' in there, back in Tokyo with Doji?"

"She is wonderful," Romeo emphasized, reaching out for a sip of his 'something hard.' "School isn't, but it's just school, and I can do it. And it won't last forever, anyhow."

He shook his head. "I never realized I'd meet someone where living with them is -- it's not just romance. It feels right."

In response to that, Reno gave a little crooked grin and lifted his glass toward the ceiling.

"Tell me about it, yoto! Go figure, it takes playin' mix and match with Fandom blondes to find one that fits right, but this place didn't do half bad for either of us, yo."

"It wasn't only blonds!" Romeo protested. "Brooke is brunette." And he wondered how she was, come to that.

"Fandom," he added, "is a wonderful matchmaker."

Maybe she was blonde at heart?

Whichever.

"Which sounds like a weird friggin' thing to say about an island, but shit, if it can get a guy like me to commit, then damn, it's gotta be."
