Staff Meeting - Caritas [After Classes] [It's 5 o'clock somewhere]

So, it was Halloween, it was the end of the month, and Zoe had spent way too much of this week dealing with the school board. That was why, early in the morning, Zoe sent out an ~~handwavy~~ email telling the faculty that this month's staff meeting would be at Caritas instead of the school.

Zoe was already at the bar when people started showing up, working on her second beer and watching Tino and his t-shirt gun carefully. "Have a seat, get something to drink, and talk business if you want to. Or we can just make sure we're all still staying afloat," she said. "If you accidentally find a t-shirt, it's yours to keep."

Get a drink! Non-alcoholic or fun!

Oooooh, Jayne wasted no time showing up at the bar and getting wasted. Actually he was already in the process of getting drunk before he even showed up for the faculty meeting.

Which is probably why when Tino shot a t-shirt he put it on without reading it.

Which is how Jayne is now sitting at the bar, drunk and wearing a t-shirt that reads "Fake Geek Girl".

"Is that your costume?" Pinkie asked, pointing to Jayne's tshirt with her hoof. "What's fake geek girl?"

Jayne took a few swallows of his drink before staring at Pinkie for a moment or two.

"I dunno. A girl made of plastic?"

Mr. Universe had one of those.

"Are you supposed to be some kind of beaver?"

Pinkie laughed delightedly. "I'm a squirrel, silly!" she said. "~~I just repurposed the icon.~~ It's mostly a difference in tail," she explained. "And, see? I've got my newsy notebook!"

It had a note on it that said "Jayne = fake geek girl = made of plastic". She was a speedy note-taker.

Jayne continued his puzzled expression. "Are you saying I'm made of plastic?" he asked. "When did you become a squirrel? I thought you were a horse. Is it one of those weekends?"

"I'm a pony," Pinkie clarified. "I'm just a squirrel for Hollerweenie! You know, it's the human holiday where you dress up in costumes and eat too much sugar! It's basically exactly like Nightmare Night only humans don't have a pony who lives in the moon and comes down once a year to eat other ponies so you have to dress up like something else and give her candy to eat instead."

Which was kind of sad, really. Hollerweenie could use a pony like that.

"Cannibal ponies that eat candy?" Jayne asked looking boggled as well as drunk."That's weird. Why don't you just shoot the moon pony so it doesn't come back?"

Pinkie gasped. "How'd you know that's what we did?!" she asked. "We shot her full of magic friendship rainbows and she turned back into Princess Luna and went back to being the benevolent princess of the night!"

Jayne's left eyebrow went up a couple of notches before he stared at the bottom of his glass for a moment or two.

Then he gave the stinkeye at Tino, just in case he was slipping something into Jayne's drink.

"Did you say shoot magical rainbows?"

"Yuppers! Using the Elements of Harmony. That's how my friends and I saved Equestria." Pinkie threw her hooves in the air victoriously. "Well, the first time we did, anyway."

Kitty had no problem daydrinking on a holiday, and she was able to just phase through the bar and make herself her own drink to bring back to the meeting with her, mostly because this was probably the only opportunity she'd ever have to do that.

And she was maybe giving Tino some You break anything/one and I break you looks.

Pinkie ordered herself a nice frosty sarsparilla and proceeded to swing back and forth in her bar seat, letting out little "weeeee!"s as she went.

The buck-teeth of her squirrel costume kept getting in the way whenever she tried to take a sip of her drink, but that didn't seem to be dampening her spirits any.

"On behalf of the squirrels and myself..." Kitty said, and gave her a thumbs up, because that was great.

Pinkie grinned back at her. "Thanks! They seemed super happy about it on the radio, too!"

Josh and his cunning JFK costume were totally here for drinks! He ordered JFK's favorite--the daiquiri--and he'll be very pouty at anyone who mocked him for it.

Mmm. Rum.

Anakin was there because if he was going to give out candy to fifty thousand ice princesses, he was doing at least a few sheets to the wind.

Quality parenting, that.

Hannibal was here; he wasn't yet in costume, because he rather feared what might end up on his period silk coat - either alcohol or glitter - but he'd gotten hair extensions for the costume, so he was a perfectly dressed modern gentleman with a ponytail.

He'd just be drinking wine and ignoring any unflattering comments.

If anyone has any!

So, my coworkers and I were discussing how we have two happy hours planned for next week because the first quarter has been just that awful, and then the RTM reminder for the staff meeting popped up in my inbox and hey, drinky staff meeting!

Thanks to

throughaphase for letting me borrow Caritas. :)
