Caritas, Saturday Evening

[newroutines]

Mike kind of doubted too many people were coming by the bar today, what with the dance going on right during his shift, but whatever, he was here all the same. Ready to serve whoever decided the dance wasn't really their style. Like maybe they'd rather brood over a whiskey or something.

Not that he knew people like that. Perish the thought.

TONIGHT'S SPECIALS
10% off your drink
if you bring glitter

What, like he was supposed to go without glitter just because he wasn't at the dance? Perish that thought, too.

For singing. Or whatever your heart desires.

Bar (10/21)

Where you have your choice of Mike and Tino.

Eliot gave that specials notice some serious side-eye as he came in. "Pretty sure the dance'll have a monopoly on that, tonight."

"It's still gonna find it's way back to our house somehow," Hardison complained. "How?!"

Re: Bar (10/21)

[vdistinctive]

"I'm half convinced it's a 'Fandom thing'," Eliot said. "Long as it don't end up in my beer, I'm alright with it."

Re: Bar (10/21)

[geniuswithasmartphone]

Was Hardison already scheming to get glitter into Eliot's beer?

Of course he was.

"You ever think it's weird that 'Fandom things' can encompass sex pollen, lotsa glitter, an' tornadoes that spit out sharks?"

Re: Bar (10/21)

[vdistinctive]

"Considerin' the whole point of 'Fandom things' is that they are weird by themselves. . . ."

Re: Bar (10/21)

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"Well, yeah, but like...they ain't even weird on the same scale!" Hardison protested, ordering a glass of Viniq because it looked like a shimmery galaxy in a cup. "Glitter everywhere versus gettin' abducted by aliens? C'mon, man!"

Re: Bar (10/21)

[vdistinctive]

Eliot watched Tony pour Hardison's drink with a look of profound horror.

"You're orderin' that and you wanna talk about scales of weird?"

Re: Bar (10/21)

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"It looks like a galaxy in my cup!" Hardison protested. "It's pretty an' tastes like candy!"

His two main criteria for alcohol, honestly.

Re: Bar (10/21)

[vdistinctive]

"What are you, twelve?" Far be it for Eliot to try to gender drink consumption. He was not above putting an age limit on it, though.

Re: Bar (10/21)

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"Life's too short to drink somethin' that tastes bad," Hardison declared. "I bet Parker would like it!"

Re: Bar (10/21)

[vdistinctive]

"Parker thinks fortune cookies are a breakfast food." She wasn't exactly Eliot's idea of a good standard of measurement for taste in consumables, no.

Re: Bar (10/21)

[geniuswithasmartphone]

When was Eliot going to accept the fact he'd fallen in love with people whose tastebuds hadn't matured past age eight?

"I mean, between them an' Lucky Charms, at least they ain't got marshmallows?"

Re: Bar (10/21)

[vdistinctive]

Never! It was entirely possible that Eliot believed he could grump his partners into eating better.

"Or," he said, looking pointedly at Hardison's drink. "Glitter."

Re: Bar (10/21)

[geniuswithasmartphone]

What didn't Eliot think grumping could fix?

"Mmmm," Hardison said, lifting his drink to his mouth and taking a long draught. "Delicious."

Now he had a line of glitter on his upper lip.

Re: Bar (10/21)

[vdistinctive]

Things that required punching. Duh.

"There is no way that crap tastes good."

Which didn't explain why Eliot was now unconsciously licking his own upper lip.

Re: Bar (10/21)

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"You'd be surprised," Hardison said, voice unconsciously dropping an octave or so watching Eliot. "Ain't you the one always tellin' us to try somethin' before we decide whether or not we like it?"

Re: Bar (10/21)

[vdistinctive]

Dammit, Hardison, why'd you have to be so sexy? Eliot cleared his throat.

"I'm tellin' you to try food before you dismiss it. Glitter ain't food."

Re: Bar (10/21)

[geniuswithasmartphone]

It was a gift? Besides, Eliot was one to talk.

"Nah, but you're talkin' about the drink I'm havin', not just the glitter it contains," Hardison pointed out, taking another sip.

Re: Bar (10/21)

[vdistinctive]

"If they were willin' to throw glitter into it, it can't possibly taste that good."

Things that tasted good didn't need glam and glitz, dammit.

Re: Bar (10/21)

[geniuswithasmartphone]

Need? No. But look the better for it? Absolutely. Like draping Parker in diamonds!

"You just like fussin'," Hardison said with a sniff. "You're just determined not to like it cause it's pretty."

Re: Bar (10/21)

[vdistinctive]

"Pretty dumb, you mean," Eliot grumbled. Not 'fussed,' grumbled. He ordered a beer from Tino and tried not to stare obviously at the lingering shine on Hardison's lip.

Re: Bar (10/21)

[geniuswithasmartphone]

Fussed.

That shine was made all the worse when Hardison took another sip, then swiped a droplet from his full lower lip, leaving another line of shimmer there, too. "There you go, judgin' before you try it. Could be squash blossoms an' you ain't never even know."

Re: Bar (10/21)

[vdistinctive]

"If I try it and it tastes like ass, you gonna order a real, grownup drink?"

Re: Bar (10/21)

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"Oh fine," Hardison said, rolling his eyes. "But I'mma finish this first."

Re: Bar (10/21)

[vdistinctive]

"You know you basically just admitted it tastes like ass, right?"

Re: Bar (10/21)

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"Nah, I just said I'mma finish my drink before I drink whatever real, grown-up drink you think I should get cause you don't wanna admit that this is a damn tasty drink," Hardison told him.
