Caritas- Tuesday

Tino had called out today, claiming his grandmother had died. This was the second grandmother that had died since Kitty took over, so she was waiting to see how long it'd be till #3 kicked off.

With him out, she'd shown up early to get things together, only to find things were pretty much done. The zombies were playing really slow music, there was no Tino to keep her entertained... Hence the sign.

ONE FREE DRINK FOR ANYONE WHO UNBORES ME

[Method RP! Which means I would totally buy you a drink for unboring me if you didn't all live in the computer.]

Step it up, zombies.

Free booze!

For hanging out.

15 minutes till I leave work, whee!!

Okay, so April didn't consider herself a particularly fascinating person, sure. But she did like free drinks.

"I could juggle," she deadpanned.

It was probably a bad idea to publicly declare boredom in a town where Yakko Warner lived. This might have been clear as Yakko slid across the bar on his knees, seemingly out of nowhere. It must have been clear by the time he started singing with the zombie band playing some generic accompanying music.

"You said that you were bored
Needed to be entertained
So I have stepped forward
And I feel unrestrained"

"I kick things off, ramp them up
It's crazy you might think
But soon you'll have to doff your cup
And pour me that free drink!"

The music continued in the background as Yakko hopped off the bar, pulled some tools and 2x4s out of his pockets, and started building... something.

"Anything in particular you want to juggle?" Because she so wanted to see it.

Kitty was used to seeing all sorts of people in different shapes and sizes and colors by now, but she wasn't used to them singing at her.

"Uh, what are you doing?"

"I didn't say I wanted to juggle," April pointed out neutrally. Because she was that annoying person who had to correct people, and besides, did anyone ever really want to juggle? "...But you could pass me a few beers," she granted.

By the time he answered, there was a sheet over whatever he had built.

"You asked me what I'm doing
Who knows what I will say?
Just please hold off on suing
When I reveal my trebuchet!"

Yakko pulled the sheet off the contraption and, yep, it was a trebuchet. That he was climbing into.

"I'll have that drink to go!"

"It'd be full priiiice," she sing-songed, but reached for one anyway.

...Oh good lord.

"What kind of drink would that be?"

This was the scariest thing she'd ever seen happen in this bar.

"I won't break them," April promised, tucking her hair behind her ears. Then she wiped her hands on her jeans to get rid of any sweatiness that might be there, took the first beer, and... started to juggle it.

Surprisingly well, actually. Huh.

"If one isn't unboring enough, I can do up to four," she added, without looking up.

"Something fast, hopefully," Yakko said as he started pulling the trebuchet back and aiming for the door.

Yes, it seemed that he really was going to launch himself.

"Oh my god, you're actually juggling," she said, impressed. Okay, so she knew a guy from the circus, but she hadn't ever seen him juggle in a bar, you know?

And then she totally slid over a couple more bottles just to see it.

She hurriedly passed over a bottle of water, because giving him alcohol seemed like a really, really terrifying idea.

"I watch a lot of Youtube videos," April explained, pausing momentarily in order to add bottles two and three to the rotation.

It was true. She had way too much time on her hands.

"Let me know when I reach unboredom levels of entertainment here."

"I think you've reached it. And definitely gotten the free drink," Kitty told her.

It was too late. Yakko pulled the rope and launched himself.... right into the bottle of water. There was a bit of a splash, and then a weird sight as Yakko fit perfectly into the bottle. He looked slightly smushed, though.

"Awesome," April said, in a rare moment of reaching italics-level emphasis, and she delicately slowed down the juggling enough to set down the beers one at a time. After claiming one for herself, she passed the others back to Kitty. "Thanks."

"This is so not the night for Tino to not be here to handle this," Kitty said.

"No, thank you for teaching me I could learn to juggle through YouTube." Not that Kitty would, but she spent enough time on the computer to make it a possibility.

"Now next time you're bored you won't even have to waste the free drinks," April reasoned.

...

"Is it too late to ask for royalties?"

The bottle started shaking until Yakko finally popped out of the mouth of the bottle. His feet were still in it, though.

"You don't know how this happened
Be thankful it's not worse
Turns out I wasn't flattened
So I'll leave and say 'Goodbyeeeeeeeeeeeeee, nurse!'"

As he bounced toward the exit with his feet still in the bottle, he chanted, "Boingy! Boingy! Boingy! Boingy...." And so on.

Yep, it was all over.

"It really is. Remember it for next time though," Kitty advised.

On a night that wasn't Kitty's because she'd so remember this.

"Maybe I'll try it on the Irish guy," April mused. "I could switch it up and do something else instead. Maybe belly-dance."

She couldn't really belly-dance. Unfortunately for Jake.

"That might get you more tips if you try it on your night." Hence why Kitty dressed the way she did for work.

"True," April granted. "But might get awkward if no one came by that night. Nothing's weirder than being stuck wearing a hula skirt for no reason."

"I bet Tino'd do it, too," Kitty mused.

"Oh, he totally would," April agreed. "He fears me."

She smirked at Tino. "Hula skirt," she instructed him. "Saturday."

Then back to Kitty. "Now it's a thing."

Oh, April.

"And why does Tino fear you?" she asked.

"Come on," April said. "Who wouldn't?"

April, you were a nineteen-year-old girl with a scary deathglare who sometimes juggled. Don't get carried away.

Kitty raised a hand.

Sorry.

...

"You don't count," April decided. "You pay me."

"Does that mean I can't be scared of you because I pay you, or you don't do anything bad when I can see it because I pay you?" Kitty said.

...

"First one."

Maybe. Shhh.

"I could just pat you on the head," said the ninja assassin with a smile. "You might get some opposition to the fear thing while you're here. Be warned."

April shrugged. "As long as I still scare Tino."
