Caritas [Tuesday evening]

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

Tonight, Robin had a new obsession. No, it was not anything drink-related. How dare you suggest she actually do work at work? That was what Tino was for.

No, tonight Robin was leaning on the bar, her thumbs busily flicking across the screen every couple seconds. Occasionally, her efforts were punctuated with a, "Yes, finally." More often, though, there was a frustrated sigh heaved and an exclamation in the vein of, "STUPID GREEN PIGS WITH YOUR STUPID HELMETS."

"It doesn't even make sense," she added, after Tino kept staring at her for a particularly colorful outburst. "Why the hell would they want to take these birds' eggs? They have bombs. Dumb idea, green pigs. Dumb."

[...who, me, stuck on Angry Birds? Where?]

Isabela had given up her search of the beach once the light had started to fade from the sky. There were no washed up pieces of the Siren's Call, nor was there any sign of that stupid book.

Still, it wouldn't do to be caught outside and so she'd made it into town. It'd taken some careful slinking to avoid the city guards when she finally did find what looked like a tavern.

And there went another first impression, because rather than trying to impress, she was blinking up at the harsh lights. At least she managed not to do a crab walk around the band of corpses? "This dump better have hot food," she grumbled as she made it up to the bar, wondering if she was going to have to bargain with an abomination for it.

"We can do like, pretzels?" Robin offered, catching that and looking up as she failed yet another challenge. Aaaaand given how Isabela looked, and the fact that Robin didn't recognize her at all, Robin was gonna go ahead and ask, "Rough day?"

"You go right for the golden question, don't you?" Isabela remarked, there was some amusement there as far as she could manage.

With a sigh, she took a seat and rolled her stiff shoulders. She'd be feeling that for a while. At least the woman in front of her wasn't an abomination and she was going to take that as a win. "I think rough sums it up rather adequately. I don't suppose you could tell me what this place is named?"

"Mmm, thought you might be new." Either that or Robin was really kind of slacking at both her jobs. "This is an island, called Fandom, off the southeast coast of the United States." She reached for a glass, raising a brow. "Drink?"

Re: The Bar

Congratulations, Robin. That would be Isabela staring at you.

"I think I'm going to need more than one. Making it something strong," she finally said, because that was not a name she'd ever seen on her maps. "So is this like one of those new rebel kingdom things they declared yesterday?"

"...what are you doing?" Fraser asked, having come up on the tail end of her spiel. "Eggs?"

Re: The Bar

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"Angry Birds!" she said, flailing her phone at him so he could see. She'd greet him in a second. Saying hi to your husband < bitching about phone games today, apparently. "I'm completely stuck and it's stupid and this game doesn't even make sense and I hate it."

That was why she'd been playing it for the last hour, yes.

Re: The Bar

[just-add-starch.livejournal.com]

"Then, why are you playing with it and so engaged with it?" Fraser had to wondered, taking a seat. "Wouldn't the logical thing be to stop playing?"

Re: The Bar

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"I will," Robin vowed. "...after I beat this level."

Yeah, no.

"Also, hi, you," she added, actually putting the phone aside for a moment to lean across the bar to kiss him hello. "Are you playing designated walker tonight? 'Cause I was not planning on getting drunk at work, but I could!"

She would take one for the team!

"Not quite but if you'd like to drink, I can always do that," Fraser said, chuckling. "With the semester over, I just didn't have to stay around the school until it closed so I thought I might pay you a visit to see how things were."

Chrono was thinking of cleaning the church today. But then Chrono thought about the fact that he cleaned the church every day, and it was time to switch it up a little.

He certainly wasn't going to go to the bar he worked at. Too many memories there, despite the changes.

So Caritas it was, and he slipped on a stool, careful to keep his wings out of anyone's way. Then he asked, "So would it be completely terrible of me if I just asked for a glass of water?"

Re: The Bar

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"I'll definitely make fun of you for it," Robin replied, arching a brow at him. "But that's just standard."

Re: The Bar

[timedemon.livejournal.com]

"I think I might be able to take it," Chrono mused with a faint smile. "So just a glass of water, please, if you could be so kind."

"Not even with lemon?" Robin asked, tsking sadly. "Walk on the wild side a little, man."

Re: The Bar

[timedemon.livejournal.com]

"Ugh!" Chrono protested, but with a laugh. "And here I thought the lemon would only make the mocking worse."

"Oi, mainland," Jake greeted Robin. "Rum?" he asked hopefully. Considering he'd just been in last night and there had been rum then, there had better still be rum now.

Re: The Bar

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"All out," she lied, completely straight-faced.

Re: The Bar

Jake narrowed his eyes at her. "Yer not serious?"

Re: The Bar

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

"As a tumor," Robin said, shaking her head woefully.

Re: The Bar

[shagthis.livejournal.com]

"How," Jake said slowly, "could you be so cruel?"

I got a piece of paper in the mail today that says I'm licensed to teach kids.

That should frighten you all, in light of the highbrow content of this post.
