Caritas, Thursday evening

In honor of Eponine, who had no idea about Jell-O shots, Kenzi was trying out new recipes.

The Band

Have new air fresheners hanging on them. Yay.

The Bar

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Has many, many, many colored shots of deliciousness to choose from.

Sure, put the prospect of free booze of a new and interesting variety out there.

. . . on the other hand, it kept Éponine from following people around or lurking outside buildings watching like a creeper, so there was that, at least?

"What if I don't like your Jell-O shots very much?" she asked, plunking herself down on a barstool with no decorum whatsoever and swinging one foot back and forth. (The sneakers and hoodie she was sporting today clashed oddly with her long skirt, but she hadn't been able to decide between being comfortable and dressing somewhat nicely.) "If I don't rate them very highly, do I still get one free?"

Priorities, people. Priorities.

"Hey, this crap is important," Kenzi said, spreading her hands over the rainbow of yummy booze. "If the customers are gonna hate Pineapple Vodka shots, we gotta know. Personally, that's one of my faves, but mileage varies. What's your favorite color?"

Re: The Bar

[filleauloup]

"Blue," Éponine answered promptly, and leaned forward with both arms on the bar and her chin resting atop them to peer closely at the shot glasses. "Even if I'd never before seen a drink that color in my life, and what's the point of these tiny little glasses, anyhow?"

Re: The Bar

Kenzi handed over a Blue Hawaiian shot, and grinned. "So you can try as many as you want, without committing to a full drink. What's the fun of buying a drink to find out you can't stand the taste enough to get buzzed?" She picked up one of the Melon 'Rita shots, and jiggled it between her fingers. "Also, they're just fun." Sluuuuuuuuurp!

Re: The Bar

[filleauloup]

"It takes longer to drink that way, though," objected Éponine, who had picked up the shot glass and was holding it up to the light now, apparently fascinated by the way it looked through the Jell-O. Give her time; the idea of drinks tasting good was still fairly new.

Setting the glass back down on the bar, she poked at the Jell-O with one fingertip and laughed, raucously, in surprise. "Well now, isn't that something, the way it jiggles!"

. . . drinking the shot might have to take a backseat to just poking at it for a minute or two.

"One of the greater inventions of the 20th Century," Kenzi said, charmed and grinning. "Fruity flavors and bouncy food in one. And hey, we got all night to get a buzz on, why rush it?" Kenzi's Russian'ness meant it always took a while anyway. "That one's got rum and pineapple juice in it. What kind of French booze were you used to, back home?"

Re: The Bar

Cade was meeting Emily there anyway, but checking out the drink specials never hurt anything, right?

Right.

"What's in the blue one?" he asked.

Re: The Bar

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi grinned, and pointed to the one with a cherry suspended in it. "This one's got vodka and peach schnapps. Berry Bomb." She pointed to a lighter one, sans cherry. "Blue Hawaiian. Rum and curacao and pineapple juice and I love it like I love my eyeliner." That was a lot of eyeliner.

Re: The Bar

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"But there's no eyeliner in the drink, right?" Cade checked. "Not that that's necessarily a dealbreaker."

Because Cade used death sticks on purpose.

Re: The Bar

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"No eyeliner," Kenzi promised, picking up a White Lightening to watch it jiggle. "Gelatin, booze, shiny toxic colors from some source other than eyeliner, though. But that's the best part."

Re: The Bar

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"Well, I'm a sucker for toxic things," Cade said. "Give me three."

It would only make Emily feel like she would need to drink whatever he did to even the ground.

Or uneven the ground, considering the subject at hand.

"Not drinking ahead of me, I hope?"

Re: The Bar

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"You'll just have to catch up," Cade said with a grin. "Try the blue one first. It's...very blue."

Re: The Bar

[reven8e.livejournal.com]

Emily shrugged, not bugged at all. "All in the name of fair game." And booze.

A couple of minutes later she was wincing a little (but totally licking her lips) at the empty jello shot. "Wow, this is good. And certainly blue. What else?"

Re: The Bar

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"The red one with the hot sauce and tequila," Cade said. "It's called the Cade."

It wasn't.

Re: The Bar

[reven8e.livejournal.com]

"You think the new kids will crowd the bars?" Emily asked as she inspected the shots.

Now that would be a sight.

Re: The Bar

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"I think if they don't want to drink after they get here, they're not paying attention," Kenzi told her. "Which, hey, totally possible, it's not like everyone meets a radio squirrel at their first picnic."

Kenzi had re-met Bo. And really needed booze.

"Favorite color? Or favorite booze? You pick."

Re: The Bar

[reven8e.livejournal.com]

"I actually came here, so I agree." Then again, not everyone was like Emily, thanks God.

"Vodka. And the color would be white..or black, I can't decide."

Re: The Bar

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi handed over a White Lightening shot - Pina Colada Jell-O! - her grin slightly evil. "Rate a shot, get a shot," she sang. "Did you mean to come here, or were you washed up on the beach, like some people?"

Re: The Bar

[reven8e.livejournal.com]

Emily got the shot and downed it right there. And then she coughed a bit. "Goodness, that was different. This is probably not for the unprepared," Emily said as she quickly regained her composure. "I didn't want to come, in all honesty, but my tutor had the final word. As he tends to have."

The Lounge

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Is there. Lounge-like.

The TV Room

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Local Government is on. Grab some pretzels.

OOC

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Up early by request! I'll be more around by the time the real Must See TV is airing, but I'll be in and out this afternoon.
