Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

Okay. Oh boy. Kitty liked the December whimsy. She thought Carol of the Bells was pretty. She also worked in a bar with speakers for the band/karaoke and some in the back room so today was stupid.

She was generally a reasonable person! Definitely the normal one between herself and Tino, though the bar was in hell for that one. And yet:

"If we take them down and put them in the alley then we should be good," she said as she unhooked a speaker. At least she wasn't phasing through it.

The Perk, Tuesday Afternoon

[joan_of_bark]

It had been a while since Pam had come here, hadn't it? In the hectic blur that had been-- the past five months or so, she'd almost forgotten about the world outside of her work. But sometimes it was good, to rejoin the flow of life, to sit in a little corner with a little cup of something, watching humanity thrive around her.

It was good to remember there was more to life than work, than the Green, than great forces moving against each other for the sake of the planet and the endless business of coaxing the soil back to life.

It had been a while since Pam had come here, but that didn't stop the staff of the Perk from immediately scurrying to the back to find the sustainably-sourced coffee beans. "Would you like a pastry with that? We have an almond croissant that's delicious and vegan!"

Pam thought about bees.

Pam thought about groundwater.

Pam thought about the scurrying.

She smiled as pleasantly as she could. "Sadly, I'm not vegan, and not hungry," she said. "But thank you for offering."

She took her coffee and walked to the corner, where she sat down to sip her coffee and people-watch. The staff-- watched her curiously (and with only a little fear) from the counter.
