Caritas, Saturday

[hatesmoststuff.livejournal.com]

Well, all of April's friends and boyfriends from Pawnee were officially dumb loser jerks for not showing up to keep her company this weekend, but that was fine, because she had an alcoholic juice box and some snacks stolen from the sock hop to keep her company.

Wait, that actually sounded kinda sad.

Still, April could be found behind the bar tonight, taking the occasional sip gulp of spiked fruit punch and promising Tino that if he tried following her example, he would be fired.

April did not have the authority to hire and fire. Whether Tino knew that or not was unclear.

THIS BAR DOES NOT CARD AND IT'S LESS BAREFOOT AND RIDICULOUS THAN THE PARTY
TELL ME AN ENTERTAINING STORY AND YOUR DRINK IS FREE

[[if you ping in after 11 or so my time and i haven't answered pings in a while, feel free to mod tino!]]

"I can't even tell you how much I would want to see you at Woodstock," April said truthfully.

"Never heard you mention an ex before," she added casually after sipping from her juice box. "It's not Hannah Montana, right?"

Jono would be such a kid in a candy store at Woodstock. It would be amazing.

"Please don't tell me you found that video on YouTube. I was press-ganged onto that bloody stage, you know. And no, it wasn't Hannah Montana."

Though there was an AU kid that one time...

"I've got a few exes, actually. After about the third, I decided it was probably a good idea to just not attempt dating again."

Cash Ranch Starsmore was the best AU kid to ever live. FACT.

"It's my ringtone when you text me," April informed him. "You sound traumatized. Were they all assholes? Or, like, weird groupies who were only into you for your mad guitar skills?"

"I accidentally crippled the first one with my face and she retaliated by attempting to have me eaten by a cannibal," Jono replied, raising an eyebrow. "The second one was Death- and the best thing that ever happened to me. She died."

... That was still difficult to say. Good to know.

"And then there was Raven. We worked out alright for a while, but we ended on... a bad note, not long after I wound up looking like this. There was another one, Amanda, in there as well, but girls I sleep with while I'm brainwashed don't count."

That was the rule he'd just made up.

...yeah, April had not expected that.

"Dude," she said, really sincere now. "Sorry. That's. Shit."

She reached for another lager and slid it across the bar, fully intending to make Tino pay for it.

"You beat up a cannibal, though? Props."

Deadpan humor. Always a good way to get rid of emotions.

"Actually, I was buried in the ground to just above the shoulder while my teammates at the time took care of the cannibal." Jono shrugged and reached for lager number two, nodding his thanks. "Did take out Dracula - not the same as the one on the island - once by knocking down a wall after sunrise, though."

Re: Bar

"Damn." That was quite a feat. "What'd you knock it down with?"

Interesting choice of follow-up question, but okay.

Re: Bar

[furnaceface]

"My face."

Yeah, that sounded pretty hardcore, didn't it?

"Er, the fire where my face should've been, anyhow."

... Nope. Still hardcore.

Re: Bar

She whistled. "Did it hurt?"

Re: Bar

[furnaceface]

"Being on fire, or breaking down the wall?"

He gave his shoulders a shrug.

"Neither did, honestly. Losing my face and chest hurt more than anything you can probably imagine, but after that, it was mostly just... not much of anything. Cold, I suppose."
