Caritas, Sunday, 8/21

Jack was a bit melancholy when he got to the bar. It had been a weekend of lasts and goodbyes; last island dance, a goodbye party for Kate, and now his next-to-last shift in the bar. Of course there would be visits, but none of it would ever be the same. Even London wouldn't be the same.

He took out some scratch paper and started making a list. There were things to be done this week, no question. The question would be if there'd be time.

THERE REALLY WERE ZOMBIES. DEAD ONES.

Kenzi would be standing in front of them and staring until they started throwing things at her.

"You weren't making it up!"

Hi, Kenzi.

"Beer me!"

She was still craning her neck to look at them every so often. The dead guys were looking mildly annoyed, well, as annoyed as dead guys could get.

"This town we're visiting messes with everything," Kenzi said, smirking a little.

There might be a good bit of paint on her fingers. No reason. "Thank youuu!" Slurrrp.

"No!" Wait. Oops. "Maybe? You know. Still-lifes. Stuff like that." 'Cause she was so artistic, and all. She grinned. "So who made the zombies, zombies?"

Or invest in more solvent and turpentine to cover the evidence. Yup. Picking at an orange flake under one nail, she sipped her drink and said, "So, you can order them with the island? Like a decorating scheme?" She grinned. "Or like the pickle and ice cream rain, which was just bizaaare."

"I'd pick rock. Hot guys. Possibly bongos," Kenzi said. Because why not bongos? "Fooood. Oh, I'm a fan of food rain, though, you gotta admit it's awesome. I vote muffins for the next storm though." She took another sip of beer, and toasted Jack. "And no drinking age, jeez. Can't believe it's 21 in the rest of the States."

"Amen, brother," Kenzi said, saluting him with her beer mug. "See, I think it's a cowboy American machismo-- or machisma-- thing, where you need to drink until you're blind and stupid and then try to drive. Canadians drink to keep warm." Illustration: another gulp. "Bongos have rhythm. A beat. Kind of a Carribean thing." She looked mournful. "All the places we went this summer, and not the beach once." Or if they had, she totally missed it.

"Enh. It's cool. But not as tropical fruity and full of cabana guys as I'd like." Still, she looked speculative. "Maybe a beach party this week. Just to see how good it is." She took another sip of her beer, idly. "Those pedicabs look fun." Hmmmm. Ideas. Possibilities. Mayhem.

Who me? said Kenzi's face. She grinned at him. "That's me. Always looking for new opportunities." For what, he could probably guess.

"Hmmm?" Kenzi grinned, then decided to tell part of the truth. "Nope. But it's way fun. And colorful." Heeeee.

"Exactly." Kenzi grinned. "Art. It's a balm to the soul."

"Kate?" Kenzi tilted her head, not sure. "I think I ran into her once or twice... I was there to bug Mitchell." Some stuff, she was totally up front about.

"Hunh." Jobs were bleah, but if the stupid Radio was going to tell everyone she was a klepto, she might have to branch out in her money-gathering efforts. Movie theater didn't seem too hard, either. "You like him? He's friends with my bud Bo. I was kinda checking him out. Just to see what he was like."

Kenzi actually got quiet there, figuring out what not to say for once, thoughts ticking over very fast as her eyes went blank, so she confined herself to, "They're hot. Eric seems smart. Kinda intimidating. Which, you know, he's a vampire, so there you go." She grinned at him suddenly. "Like you!"

Well, probably not, breathing and all, and previously going to high school, but the joke wasn't un-funny yet.

"Not the kind to screw over Bo. Which is what I wanted to be sure of."

Kenzi hadn't been sure given the unfinished thread who she could say stuff about Mitchell to, so diverting the attention to Eric had seemed the way to go.

"Good to hear," she said, for once a bit more sober. "I mean, you can't ask for more than that, right?" Not when Bo was just getting past her own kind of accidental carnage. "She's a good friend. And I still owe her, is all. She had my back once when I was in a bad spot." People should know that about Bo, even if they couldn't know how.

Hmm. Enh. She could tell the high points. Kenzi held up her glass and said, "She was tending bar at a place on the other side of the border, and I was in there... checking things out." Cough. Like other people's money. "A guy bought me a drink and slipped a roofie into it when I wasn't looking. I'd already ditched him after I drank it, but he caught up to me in the elevator." She made a face. "Could've gotten real nasty, but Bo had seen him do it, and she walked down a couple flights to catch the elevator, and get me out of the sitch."

Byyyy sucking the life out of Mr. Smiley. But. Hey. He died really happy!

"Heh." Kenzi gave him an amused look, then tilted her head, thinking about it. "I think she reaaally doesn't like scuzballs. But yeah, not the thing your average normal person does, you know?" She grinned again, and poked her now-empty mug back over to Jack. "Especially for 'vulnerable' young girls." Wearing wigs and picking pockets.
