Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

Kitty was back at work, if not in the most fantastic mood ever today. That didn't have so much to do with last week's trauma as it did the fact that last week's trauma was keeping her from a good night's sleep and she'd be here till like an hour after close tonight. Either way, she liked tips, so she'd put the tired aside to work.

She had coffee from the Perk, and every once in a while she'd glance at the Red Bulls they kept in stock and wonder if mixing them might keep her up better. "Don't even think about it, Pryde," she muttered to herself. "That way lies madness."

Laurie had finally gotten here about an hour ago, having left Gulfhaven that morning amidst tearful, clingy goodbyes (Jules. Always Jules.), hateful sendoffs, (she wouldn't miss you either, Ellie), and promises to text like, every day (go be in college, Travis.) She'd taken a look at the building -- whatever, it was fine -- and thrown her stuff into her apartment, which was (a) huge, and (b) had like, the funkiest lamp she'd ever seen in it, and she'd just be keeping that. Finders keepers, bitches.

Anyway. With the boring stuff out of the way, it was time for Laurie to do what she did best: find a bar. And so here she was, clacking over in her heels to perch on a stool. "You look tired," she greeted Kitty. "Bad night?"

"Long night," Kitty corrected, putting on a smile anyway. "What can I get you?"

Re: Bar

Laurie laced her fingers under her chin, wide-eyed as she thought. "Hmmmmm. White wine. Is this, like, the only bar in this town?"

She was genuinely curious. It was good to know your boozing options.

"As the manager I want to say yes, yes it is," Kitty said, getting a glass and a bottle. "But you'll find out soon enough that there's a clubbier bar, too. Hopefully I've earned your trust there."

Re: Bar

[ohjellybean.livejournal.com]

"Totally," Laurie assured her. "You'll keep my business, I promise. Especially 'cause you're the first person I've met here and you're giving me drinks. I always learned that was how to build trust."

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

Kitty smiled and said, "Then welcome to town. I'm Kitty, by the way."

Re: Bar

[ohjellybean.livejournal.com]

"Laurie," she said with a little twirly wave. "Do you, like, like it here? I can't tell if I do yet."

She'd been here about an hour.

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"I've been here almost a year and haven't run screaming," Kitty said oh so reassuringly. "The place takes some getting used to, but it's got its charms."

Re: Bar

"Seems like we might be light on the over-eighteeners," she noted, frowning a little. "I was looking at my tenant list earlier and there's not a l -- oh hey, are you like, Kitty in apartment ten?"

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"Yeah, that's me," she said, leaning on the bar. "You have a tenant list?"

This was turning out to be a very weird day for Mike. So who could blame him if finding the local watering hole became top priority as the day was turning to evening?

Seriously, he looked like he was five minutes from a major headache as he came in.

"Hey. Can I get a beer?"

[SP imminent in the not so distant future but getting this started now for jobby reasons!]

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"You look like you've had a day," Kitty said helpfully, setting the beer in front of him.

Re: Bar

[newroutines]

Mike managed a wry sort of smile at her, and a nod of thanks. "Yeah, well, I just moved here," he shared, and yes, it was new person day at Caritas, Kitty, "and there's already someone living in my house, which is not just in need of a nice paint job."

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"You have had a day," she replied. "I swear you'll all least be treated nicely here. In the bar, I mean. I can't say anything for the house."

Re: Bar

[newroutines]

"That's okay, neither can I." He took a swig of his beer. "Thanks, though. That's the first reassuring thing I've heard all day."

That could happen when the only person you dealt with was Derek Hale.

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"Go, me," she smiled. "Also hi, I'm Kitty. Wanna talk about it?"

Re: Bar

[newroutines]

"Mike," he said, with another little nod. "Think I already gave you the cliffnotes version, but... You know the big fucking mansion out on, um, Phoenix Way?"

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"The one that looks like it should be haunted?" Kitty checked.

Re: Bar

[newroutines]

Mike huffed out a laugh that didn't sound all that happy, though it wasn't full-on depressed either. "Bingo. And I own that now."

And he had a Derek.

And a Puppy Joe.

"In my defense, it looked a little different in the photos I got."

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

Hey, Puppy Joe was awesome.

"I think that sort of thing happens here a lot..." Like anyone planned on this town when they arrived. "At least now you have a project. You can have painting parties and everything."

Wouldn't Derek be so happy.
