Caritas [Sunday evening]

[begmetwice.livejournal.com]

Irene was finally feeling all right about leaving her apartment (and it helped that the incessant, pointed need for that old phone of hers had faded a little more with each heartbeat since Friday night), and of course, when one finally leaves one's apartment after a time of seclusion, where should one appear first but the most popular bar in town?

(She'd have to do research as to whether Caritas was more popular than the Devil's Nest, but she knew more of the employees here, at least.)

Of course, the last thing she was expecting when she walked in was to see balloons and streamers and everything else set up for a party. And the second-to-last thing she'd expected was to see a giant, fuzzy plush bear lumbering over.

And the third to last thing she'd expected was to be slowly and (let's be honest) preventably pulled into a hug by that same giant fuzzy bear. But really, she probably ought to have expected that.

At least there was going to be a party, even if she was to be suffocated in cuddles for it. A sign near the entrance read:

Yay for defeating bad guys or whatever.
Everything half off if you can get around the bears to order.

Tino, who was smug behind the barricade of the bar and throwing anything at fuzzy bears who approached, was clearly to blame.

[PARTY!! posted early (and by me due to actual-employee-RL-availability reasons) for great SP loveliness!]

It's not a party without drunken karaoke. Bonus points if you sing about a bear.

Bar [3.29]

Where you can order a bear-themed drink!

After getting back from vacation, Kitty had gone in just to check in on things and found a party. And a bear, who promptly hugged her, and you know what, Kitty hugged him back more or less without question, don't judge.

"I can't leave you people alone," she said.

"I had nothing to do with this," Irene assured her, arms pinned to her side as she just let the stupid bear hug her.

Resistance seemed fairly pointless.

"The decorations and such or the bears."

Re: Bar [3.29]

"I like the bears though," Kitty said. "Can we keep them?"

Re: Bar [3.29]

[begmetwice.livejournal.com]

"You can," Irene replied, pointedly. "And keep them far away from me."

Re: Bar [3.29]

"But they're so cuddly!" Kitty said. "Everyone needs a cuddle now and then."

She was partially teasing, but this was totally why she liked having the dogs and Lockheed so much.

Jessica made her way to the bar. She still needed an actual drink thanks to the 'fun' of yesterday but she wasn't really expecting to have bears in her way.

She may have taken her phone out shoot an e-mail to Portalocity, just to make sure they hadn't located her world yet. If they had, she was getting the hell away from the hugging bears.

"You know, I'm not sure if my comfort levels extend to this," Tony said, trying to ignore the bear giving him a hug. It was something he'd never share back home.

Never.

Re: Bar [3.29]

[throughaphase]

Don't mind Kitty snapping a picture with her camera of that, though. It wasn't his home she'd be sharing it with, technically. Hers, and maybe Clint's.

"This is great."

Re: Bar [3.29]

[imafuturist]

Excuse you, Kitty.

"You could have at least warned me so I could pose."

Re: Bar [3.29]

[throughaphase]

"Would you like a second take?" she offered.

Re: Bar [3.29]

[imafuturist]

"It'd be appreciated," Tony replied with a grin. "Make sure to get my good side."

He knew how to own humiliating pictures, okay?

"Would it be better if I told you it was a robot?" Jessica checked. She didn't know this Tony, but she had known enough Tonys to act familiar anyway.

Re: Bar [3.29]

[imafuturist]

"...no." Because Ulton, Jessica. Ultron.

Re: Bar [3.29]

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

Ultron in her world was confusing and muddled and written by Jeph Loeb. You had to excuse her for not being aware. "Okay, then it's just a weird big teddy bear hugging you. Possibly because of magic."

Re: Bar [3.29]

[imafuturist]

DAMN YOU, LOOOOOOOEB!

"Magic would make way more sense." Tony hated magic, you see. Because magic hated him.

Clint didn't really need a post-vacation drink, but he went to Caritas to grab one anyway, and instantly regretted it as soon as he found a bear hugging his waist. He looked at the sign, but that didn't really help.

"What the hell?" he asked.

Re: Bar [3.29]

[throughaphase]

"Awwww," Kitty said, because awwww.

Re: Bar [3.29]

[so_hawkward]

"Oh no, we do not 'awwww' this," Clint said, trying to shake the bear off, which only made the bear squeeze tighter.

Re: Bar [3.29]

[throughaphase]

"Oh, we totally aww this," Kitty said, getting her phone out. "Can we keep him?"

Re: Bar [3.29]

[so_hawkward]

"God I hope not," Clint said. "I already have enough pets, I don't need more."

Until he met his next stray dog, at least.
