Caritas, Friday Evening

[newroutines]

There was just the one bartender present at Caritas tonight. Mike suspected this meant Tino was somewhere dealing with teenage angst. He was more than cool with being on his own, though. He could use a Friday night without inexplicable glaring, and he'd gotten used to the zombie band enough to be comfortable being alone with them. In fact, he was comfortable enough to start making song requests to pass the time. Yes, this meant he ended up dancing to Electric Avenue behind the bar. Yes, for some reason he kept to old songs, because he had no idea how long the zombie band had been undead.

And no, not that kind of dancing. Just... grooving.

Boy had some moves, though.

There was only so much time one could spend at a teenaged party when you didn't drink and were apparently close to being one of the oldest ones in the room. Allie left, intending to go back to the Devil's Nest and check on Tiny, but decided to make a stop at Caritas first. Maybe there'd be someone who'd been through puberty around.

Oh my....

"Hi Mike."

Mike was definitely an adult, and had been for a nice long while. Also, wearing a tank top.

You were welcome.

"Allie!" Of course he remembered everyone's names. It was a small town, even if he'd been just a little intoxicated when they'd met. "Hey! Welcome to Caritas."

No ogling Allie. That would be wrong. She was just going to smile and appreciate the view. There was a difference. Honestly.

"Thanks." She shot a wary glance at the zombies before taking a seat at the bar. "I am so glad to see some besides Tiny that's older then I am. You realize the island's being weird again?"

Re: Bar (11/30)

"Yeah, my housemate's a teenager," Mike nodded. "Which has been... surprisingly okay." Because teenaged Derek was a way happier sort than adult Derek was. "But yeah, I've definitely noticed. I think Tino's probably somewhere angsting away, too."

"I know. I just saw him over at the party in the hotel in a thread that still needs to be played," Allie replied. "There'd been talk of something called Spin The Bottle. I was afraid if I stuck around too long the game would start. That would be too weird."

Kitty eyed her. "Aren't you supposed to be at the other place...? Not that I'm complaining, mind you."

Re: Bar (11/30)

"In theory, yes," Allie said. "In reality? I was pulled out the door by my now teenaged boss in search of booze since he didn't like the soda I gave him."

Re: Bar (11/30)

[throughaphase]

Kitty had to laugh a little at that. "Well, I'm guessing this was a unique day of work for you..."

Re: Bar (11/30)

"Oh it only got better," she grinned. "We wound up at a party at the hotel. I think I might have been one of the oldest people there."

After Max's party, where Laurie didn't stay long because...look, even she could only hang out with a bunch of teenagers for so long, she'd decided she needed a stiff drink. Because seriously. It was like, half-envy and half feeling weird about being the oldest person at a party. She was so used to Ellie and Jules!

"Oh, thank god," she said, slapping her purse down on the bar as she took a seat and offered Mike a relieved grin. "Another person over eighteen. Why're you dancing?"

She'd noticed, yes. She wasn't that put out by creepiness.

Re: Bar (11/30)

[newroutines]

"Be...cause?"

Mike did not have a good reason for it, no. He laughed. "I don't know, I just got the band playing some tunes 'cause it was a little too quiet in here."

"You're a good dancer," she assured him, raising her brows. "Don't stop on my account or anything. I was kinda hoping I'd come in and you'd be normal-you, anyway, so my night's already made."

Re: Bar (11/30)

[newroutines]

"I promise, I will dance again if the mood takes me," Mike assured her in return, chuckling. "And that I'm normal me. Exactly the same as usual. Is there something I can get you?"

Re: Bar (11/30)

[throughaphase]

"You notice how people still aren't their right ages?" Kitty said, because that meant hello somewhere.

Re: Bar (11/30)

"It's distressing, but check it out," Laurie said, holding up her camera and quickly flipping through the pictures she'd taken at the party. "Whenever they go back to normal, we have proof. They're gonna be so happy."

Re: Bar (11/30)

[throughaphase]

"I'm not sure 'happy' is the word you meant to use there..." she said, looking at the pictures anyway.

Re: Bar (11/30)

[throughaphase]

"Fellow adult!" Kitty greeted him, because this week was weird and she wanted things back to normal already.

Re: Bar (11/30)

[newroutines]

"Boss lady!" Mike greeted her back. "Yup, I'm still in possession of all of my usual years, which is more than can be said for my housemate."

Re: Bar (11/30)

[throughaphase]

"Yeah, I saw him the other day. He smiles!" Yes, she was still on that.

Re: Bar (11/30)

[newroutines]

"He does. And I for one am glad I'm not the only one who's surprised by that." No one could blame them, though. "Trippy, isn't it?"
