Caritas, Saturday

[hatesmoststuff.livejournal.com]

Apparently, Tino thought April was a crappy fake mom. So did the zombie musicians. They were pretty sure of it, actually.

All because April's eight-year-old kid with some lady she'd never heard of was here at Caritas tonight, doing her homework while sitting at the bar.

Look, April hadn't been about to leave the kid at her apartment alone, and at least here she could make the kid crappy virgin fruity drinks so she'd be quiet. Actually, that business strategy applied to anyone who stopped by tonight.

Where April and Hillary are!

Hillary wasn't a huge fan of math, but she was toughing out this homework. Partly because the Shirley Temple April had given her with whipped cream on top was so delicious that Hillary would do just about anything to guarantee being given another one.

She still preferred Take Your Daughter To Work Day when she got to go to the Parks Department, though.

And there was also a Laura at the bar. Who had not hunted down, literally, her parent yet.

Because she needed intel first.

"Could I get a coke?"

Re: Bar

That was a nice and simple request. April reached for a bottle and set it on the bar, sliding it over to Laura.

"You a local or visitor?"

Re: Bar

"Visitor," she replied, sipping her drink. "First time here, actually."

"Good job finding the bar that doesn't card," April remarked. "It's an easy thing to mess up."

Stiles had managed to shake Haley (or Haley had allowed himself to be ditched, rather) and he managed to find his way to the bar. The one that would allow him to drink and attempt to forget the word knotting ever existed.

Little did he know no amount of booze would make that happen.

He grabbed a beer from Tino and took a seat next to the pretty girl he didn't recognize. "You're not saving this spot, are you? 'Cause I'll totally move."

Re: Bar

No, but this could be used to her advantage.

After an appraising look, she suddenly smiled. "Of course not."

Re: Bar

[robinonadderall]

"Oh good, I don't need another hit to the ego today." Too bad, Stiles, you were gonna get another one. "That's not to say you aren't free to bruise my ego, I'm not the type to boss girls around."

Mostly because they could kick his ass.

Laura was getting stared at. A rather confused stare, as if someone had an idea who she was but didn't think he could be right.

Eventually, Conner gave up lurking and leaned toward her. "Hey."

Re: Bar

[huntingthemoon.livejournal.com]

Laura gave him a stare right on back. Though hers was far less confused and more assessing. Training did that.

"Hey. You lost or something?"

Re: Bar

[hatemywolfdads.livejournal.com]

"No," Connor said, and drew a sip of his soda as if her cool gaze was nothing to him. "My dads live around here. You?"

Re: Bar

Jane had had about enough of her "cousins" about five seconds after meeting them, but they did keep her dad busy enough not to notice when she slipped out.

Ooo, look a bar. "Martini," she ordered. Those seemed pretty classy. "Dry." She slapped the bar. "Make it snappy."

Re: Bar

[hatesmoststuff.livejournal.com]

April just gave Jane a hard look. The kind of look that might have given the impression of someone waiting to hear the magic word.

Re: Bar

[hasafirstname.livejournal.com]

Jane stared back. She knew that look. Her mom used that look. But April? Was not her mom.

Re: Bar

[hatesmoststuff.livejournal.com]

No, but April was going to keep using that look until something changed. She was not a taking-shit type of bartender.

Sorry, Jane.

Connor and Jack were supposed to go over to the still vaguely creepy house to talk to Derek tonight, but then Jack got distracted by his other kid doing something annoyingly show-offy and Connor got annoyed enough to bolt. It didn't take long for a preteen at loose ends to find the bar at all.

He ordered a ginger ale from the scary-looking guy and settled at the end, trying hard to lurk as effectively as Derek could.

Vlad had gotten a beer-- ha, something good about this trip-- and settled in to contemplate how best to torture his mum. If he could find her, because face it, she was probably hiding somewhere if she'd figured out what was going on.

Ellie had found Toby earlier that afternoon, and hadn't that been a shock, since the last time they'd met, she'd been his age.

After watching in horrified amusement as she'd consumed far more sugar than should be humanly possible at J,GoB, Toby had been informed in no uncertain terms that they had to go to Caritas.

"You're sure this is where you want to go?" he said dubiously as they entered. "You wouldn't rather go to Mooby Land?"

Re: Lounge

Ellie gave him a look of Daddy you are weird and said, "Yes. I want to see the dead people." Then she looked around, intrigued. "Somebody's thinking of Mommy."

Re: Lounge

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"Are they?" Toby raised an eyebrow. "You know, I think you're right. Should we go over and talk to him?"

I'm heading out to watch a movie with some people around 6:45 Chicago time, but I'm around until then and I'll be back by 9ish!
