Caritas- Saturday

[solo_sword]

After spending the day getting to know her surprise son and confirming that no one else was going to show up calling her Mom, Jaina had to bring her eight-year-old to work. In a bar. She felt like a horrible alternate universe mother for that, but upon realizing that there was no alcohol to speak of here today, it helped some. Apparently the booze had turned into chocolate milk and the like, which was great because Chak seemed interested in everything, asking "What's that?" about everything he didn't recognize, and wanting to pour drinks.

Tino looked happy about this, like he was going to get an easy night off with the kid helping out, but Jaina just shook her head and told him, "You're not getting by on child labor. Back to the bar."


[As per other kid events, no alcohol at the bar tonight. There are however two real bartenders and one pretend one. Apparently this weekend isn't a dry one. But since it's established already things changed over for today. Oops! ]

Where the zombies hopefully do not scare small ones.

Where the kid might want to pour your drink.

"You really work here?" Chak asked, climbing up on a stool behind the bar so he could see over it without trying. He might not have the short gene, but he was still a kid here.

Re: Bar

"For now," she nodded. "Your grandpa says it's too clean here, though. I teach at the school, too."

Re: Bar

He looked at the bar critically. "This is too clean?"

He had high standards. Except when it came to his room. That was different.

She was going to assume he got that from his father, because she thought it was fine here. "You have probably not seen where he's most comfortable hanging out," Jaina grinned.

Re: Bar

[gonnabeemperor.livejournal.com]

"Nope, I'm good." It wasn't like pouring was hard. Maybe later he'd try mixing stuff and see how it tasted. "I thought you didn't like teaching."

A child in a cloak, with a psimitar strapped to his back was probably not what one expected to see on the end of the bar. But there he was.

After promising Askani'son not to get into more fights.

"I would like a milk."

Re: Bar

[gonnabeemperor.livejournal.com]

"I'll get this one," Chak said confidently, though he let Jaina hand him the milk because he didn't want to get off the stool. "One milk, coming right up!"

That was what people did in bars on the HoloNet, right?

"What's on your back?" he asked when he tried to carefully slide the glass of milk over without spilling. Spilling was not professional.

Re: Bar

[thefuturesucks.livejournal.com]

In the future, people just drank milk and got into bar fights. It was awesome.

But Brooker hadn't been allowed to drink, so this was amazing.

"It's a psimitar," he replied, lifting his chin proudly.

Re: Bar

[gonnabeemperor.livejournal.com]

"Never heard of it," Chak said, which was to say he was super curious about it.

"Schway sword-thingy," Terry said. "Are they handing those out somewhere?"

He didn't need a weapon. More importantly, the poor town needed him to not have a weapon.

Re: Bar

[thefuturesucks.livejournal.com]

"Schway?" You said 'flonq', Brooker. Don't judge. "Is that more slang?"

Re: Bar

[willbeschway.livejournal.com]

"What, you've never heard it before?" Terry asked. "Don't tell anyone else that. They might call you a twip. And then you might want to use your sword thingy."

Re: Bar

[willbeschway.livejournal.com]

Terry snuck out of his house while grounded, broke into some stranger's room, and now was going to a bar. It probably shouldn't be that big a surprise that he was going to end up in juvie in a few years.

He ended up climbing onto a stool and sitting down at the bar. "What can I get to drink?" he asked.

Re: Bar

[gonnabeemperor.livejournal.com]

"Whatever you want," Chak said. "We have everything here."

And then he added, "Like milk and lemonade and stuff. Everything like that."

Re: Bar

[willbeschway.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate milk would be schway," Terry said, almost getting his username right. "Aren't you young to be working?"

Re: Bar

[gonnabeemperor.livejournal.com]

"Mom works," Chak said, nodding back at Jaina. Not pointing, though. You didn't point, it was rude. "I'm playing. And maybe working for a new multitool." Yes, he was still on that.

"What's schway?"

Re: Bar

"Aunt Jaina Aunt Jaina hi!"

That was all the warning she was going to get for the little blond-haired boy who came barrelling into the bar with an ice cream cone in one hand (surprise) and Tahiri following close behind.

"I don't want a drink," King had to clarify as he tried to scramble up onto the nearest stool, apparently not interested in any help Tahiri had to offer. "I just wanted to come an' say hi!"

Re: Bar

[solo_sword]

"I remember you," Jaina greeted him with a smile. "Hi. Are you sure you don't want anything? I've got a helper and everything today."

To that, Chak gave a wave and a "Hey," and then the wave got more empthatic when he saw Tahiri. Because he totally knew Tahiri.

Re: Bar

[weetuskenraider]

"New one?" Tahiri guessed, waving back at Chak, and wow, this was so much less awkward (but still a little awkward) than it had been the first time King had met Jaina. "Hey, Jaina. Isn't this happening ahead of schedule this year?"

King looked conflicted by the question, though, and chewed on his lower lip. "I'm okay!" he finally decided. "I have ice cream."

"Apparently," Tahiri said dryly, "it was hereditary."

Re: Bar

[solo_sword]

Jaina smiled. "Somehow unsurprising. Yeah, Fandom's got funny timing this time around." And wasn't she so glad for it.

"This is Chak," she said, and Chak looked mildly disappointed that he had to introduce himself to someone he already knew again. And just in case there were any questions about who his father was, "...Solo Fel."
