Caritas- Tuesday

Kitty was really, really regretting not coming in over the weekend.

Considering she was spending a lot of her shift saying things like, "Come on, tell me what you looked like! Are there pictures?", Tino was probably really wishing she hadn't come in tonight, either.

Zombies!

Drinks!

Hercules sat down at the bar with a somewhat puzzled look on his face.

Yes, he'd seen the cast list down at the boards. He was having some second thoughts, he had to admit.

"I think I need a pitcher of mead," Hercules said. "If you would be so kind, please."

"Today that bad?" Kitty asked, going to get it. Believe it or not, that was the first time she'd been asked for a pitcher of anything here.

"I think I may have accidentally volunteered to parade about a stage in fishnets and women's lingerie," Hercules said, twisting his mouth a bit as he stroked his beard with a hand. "I am just in need of some... liquid courage to accept that I made the right decision."

Kitty set the mead and a glass in front of him.

"...Why?" she asked carefully.

"I auditioned for the show at the local theater," Hercules said. "Assuming that I would be cast as the rugged, muscular character of the play. But apparently there is someone more rugged and manly than I who received that part."

Hercules poured himself his first glass.

"I am eager to meet this 'Samus' fellow."

"Well... break a leg. In your... lingerie. That's gonna be weird," she said honestly.

"It is," Hercules admitted, before he took a long drink from his first glass of mead. "I'm half worried they will ask me to shave my beard. I have not done that since the nineties."

Along with a bunch of other awful fashion mistakes.

"...they'll probably ask me to shave my legs."

Hercules was not a fan of manscaping. At all.

"Better than waxing?" she said weakly, trying not to picture it all because Hercules in lingerie with shaved legs. Breaking her brain here a little.

"Is it?" Hercules said. "I do not have the experience. I suppose there is more pain involved in the waxing?"

This was his method of distracting himself from the images of being in lingerie with shaved legs.

"Little bit," she said. "Maybe try YouTube."

Of course there had to be something on YouTube.

"They do seem to have everything," Hercules admitted. He finished his first glass and started pouring another. "Well, if I can wander about town for a weekend as an actual woman, I can certainly dance about on a stage dressed in women's clothing. Surely?"

He looked like he mostly believed that, but still needed a little bit of convincing.

"It's probably not the same thing, but you know what, I'm sure the experience will help," she told him.

"I can hope," Hercules said. "And there are other, good people who will be up there on stage with me. So I can rely on their support as well."

He finished pouring his second glass and held it up.

"Perhaps I should be asking my favorite bartender what is new in her life?"

"Not much," Kitty said with a shrug. "Mainly trying to figure out some more ways to get people out, since the last party went well."

"That was an excellent party," Hercules agreed. "Perhaps another theme? Togas? Costumes? Bingo?"

Hercules had decided he'd totally come to a bingo party at the bar.

"A bingo theme?" she repeated.

"...okay maybe just actual bingo," Hercules said. "The theme would involve dressing up as old people and that perhaps might be disrespectful."

He hadn't thought it all the way through, no.

"Kitty." Guy nodded at her before taking a seat at the bar.

"Guy," she returned with a nod back.

"Beer?" He could keep up the one word thing. See?

"Sure," she said, but if he wasn't going to use more than one word he was going to get something crappy from the tap.

See how she was going for the crappy beer from the tap?

"Hey, no need to get like that!" Don't threaten his beer, Kitty. That was mean.

Mean or not, she laughed anyway. "Just wanted to see what you would do," she said, putting a bottle of something decent in front of him.

"See if I keep this place from being attacked on Sundays now."

"Oh, you will if you don't the damages coming out of your paycheck," she teased. Not that any damages really could happen in here. "I like having power."

"That's a lot of money out of my check," Guy replied. "Pretty much I'd be workin' for free."

"Then I guess you just need to keep things going good on Sundays," she said. "See, easy."

"Tryin' to keep me in line. Not a bad method."

"It it working?" she asked.

Guy shrugged, waggling his hand as though it was fifty-fifty chance of being true. "We'll have to see, won't we?"

"What does it do to the odds if I comp you this drink?" she asked.

"They got up a good deal," Guy admitted. Because a free drink was always nice when it wasn't from a burly lumberjack kind of guy. Or guy in general.

"Okay, I guess I'll settle for that," she said. "For now, anyway."

"Magnanimous boss that you are."

Hercules saw Guy and smirked a bit at the other fellow.

"And we meet again... Lad," he said.

Guy was just going to roll his eyes. So, so much. "Still not lookin' for a drink."

"I wasn't going to offer," Hercules said. "I don't buy drinks for people with silly haircuts. I have standards."

"Got something against the military buzz cut?"

"Against it?" Hercules pondered that for a second, then shook his head. "No. I just think that hair is better longer. At least on men."

He nodded at the end of that statement. "But I suppose it means you have less fuss in the mornings."

"Seriously?" You and your weird godly hair, Hercules. Only you and Thor.

"Seriously," Hercules said with another nod. "Maybe it's a product of being from a long, long time ago. But it is what I think. Certain men can rock a short cut, of course. Steve, at the school, for instance."

"The art teacher?" They hadn't really talked. Could you tell?

"Indeed, that Steve," Hercules said. "Do you not like his hair?"

It seemed a fair question at this juncture.

Relax!

...Back!

Long day omg. Mostly spend GISing baby sloths.
