Caritas- Sunday night

[throughaphase]

Kitty had spent part of her day throwing frozen sharks into a hurricane. This was absolutely the peak of her day.

And afterwards, she had to go and really check out the damage to the bar. The windows had held up, but there was a giant hole in the roof, along with water damage, and then there'd been a shark in here causing some trouble. The supplies had all been boxed up and put in the storage room, so at least that was all intact and she wouldn't have to replace it. So, this looked bad. But maybe once the debris was cleared out it'd look okay and wouldn't be too much work?

Apparently Kitty's night was now going to be spent pushing around brooms and carrying pieces of the roof out to the trash. Wheee.


[Open if anyone would like to help!]

So, after ending up with a shark in his living room far too early in the morning, and then the whole flight that afternoon, Kanan found himself in need of a drink.

So much for the best laid plans. He looked maybe a little disappointed as he stepped in the door and looked around.

"Oh, say it ain't so."

This was disaster, right here. This was exactly Kanan's definition of disaster.

"On the bright side, the alcohol's okay," Kitty assured him from where she was picking stuff up. "But it's alll the way over there."

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan heaved a sigh and shook his head.

"Seems like a nasty consolation prize after spending an afternoon chucking frozen fish around," he decided. "Want a hand with any of this?"

[throughaphase]

"You are my new best friend," Kitty said gratefully. "I've got brooms and then there's stuff too big to sweep. I promise I'll let you at the alcohol as a reward."

[uncertain_dume]

"Just point me at anything big and awkward to move around," Kanan replied, giving Kitty a wry ltitle smile. "I already spent my morning moving furniture up against the hole where my living room window used to be. I might as well keep on going with that."

He paused, and then added, "You know, I don't think we got a proper introduction over the sharksicles earlier. I'm Kanan."

[throughaphase]

"Kitty. And thanks," she said. "Is your place okay?"

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan gave his shoulders a shrug as he started picking through the debris for bigger pieces of wreckage that needed to be hauled elsewhere.

"It was mostly just the glass, fortunately," he replied. "The shark came threw snout first and started snapping at my dog."

It had ended badly for the shark.

"The dog's fine, too."

The Troopers had handwavily been dispatched to a number of businesses and buildings that had looked like they needed some help with general cleanup, and now Liam was looking to do the same.

"Hey," he called out as he stepped inside. "Just stopping by to see if y- well, that answers my question," he finished, glancing around at the debris and then up at the unplanned-for new skylight the bar was sporting. "Have a spare broom anywhere?"

[throughaphase]

"You are my new new best friend," she said, pointing where she had cleaning stuff piled in a corner. People in this town were great. "It's gonna be an interesting week!"

[firstofitskind]

Liam obligingly grabbed a broom and started sweeping up. "I'm starting to see what people meant by all the 'you can't really prepare for what this place will throw at you'."

A beat.

"Although I have to admit I didn't think it was meant quite so literally."

[throughaphase]

"It's also usually not sharks," Kitty said helpfully. "Is all your stuff okay?"

[firstofitskind]

"Oh, yeah," Liam said. "I think I came through relatively unscathed. Honestly, there's a part of me that's a little disappointed that I didn't get to throw sharks into a hurricane. But my shuttle's not really built for that sort of thing."

All hotshot pilots was the same.

[throughaphase]

"You missed a lot of weirdness," Kitty informed him. "What kind of shuttle?"

Hannibal was mostly walking around town to tag the best sharks for eating and let people know of the planned cookout tomorrow.

Unfortunately, he was finding entirely too many people and businesses with problems like this.

"Oh, dear." He looked at the hole in the roof. "That doesn't look good."

[throughaphase]

"It could be worse," Kitty said, and really, it was true. "I'm afraid we're not really ready for regular business tonight."

[sharp_man]

Hannibal waved dismissively. "I merely stopped by to inform you I'll be cooking shark on the beach tomorrow."

He eyed the hole in the roof a little longer. "You should probably get a tarpaulin over that. If you have one, I can put it in place." After talking to Jono earlier, he'd gone back home and picked up his collar, and it never hurt to generate a bit of goodwill with the neighbors.

[throughaphase]

"Thanks. I have to get one first, I think," Kitty said, glancing up. "Maybe once the stores are all open again."

[sharp_man]

"Most of the stores have sharks through them as well," Hannibal said. "This storm has made quite an impression."

[throughaphase]

"Literally," Kitty said, doing a badum-shhh!, including the rimshot motion. "It's been a bad day, I make terrible jokes."

Peter had gone looking for Kanan and been pointed here. He'd thought he was here to get a drink.

He blinked. "Damn. Not open tonight, I'm guessing. Need some help?"

[throughaphase]

"Bless you, yes," Kitty said gratefully. "The booze survived the sharkicane, but it's safely boxed up at the moment."

[2_old_for_this]

"I don't come for the booze, just other things," Peter said with a shrug. "I actually just came tonight to find Kanan." He waved in his direction. "But I've got muscles and magic - what can you use?"

[throughaphase]

"I've got debris we're throwing out back, and brooms. We're clearing out anything that's broke, and then it's on to step two," Kitty said.

[2_old_for_this]

"Okay." Peter headed for the pieces of the roof, lifted a couple large ones with no problem, then started carting them outside. "We'll start with muscles," he said. "I can save the magic for the dusting."

[throughaphase]

"Thanks," she said. "You know, I'm not sure I've met you yet."
