Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

Everyone had been back to normal for a few days, and Kitty was prepared for a nice normal night.

Mostly. The zombies were only playing country and even songs she suggested were played with a twang and she really needed them to stop.

The zombies actually looked a little nervous when Kitty got up onstage, because while this was definitely not a regular thing, they knew what was coming. And it was always "I Will Survive" because it was a damn classic.

It wasn't good. There was a key somewhere in there, maybe two. And it wasn't just that Kitty wasn't a good singer, but she was enthusiastic, which made it way worse than it would have been otherwise.

She even knew it was bad, and took a little bow when she was done.

Cristina cheered.

Mostly because it meant a pause in the zombie country music.

Re: Stage

This was entirely Kitty's fault.

There was no way in hell he'd consider doing it otherwise.

Which was why Kanan was getting up onto the stage with a microphone, looking a little dubious. Especially once the music to Wonderwall started playing. At least in part because he'd never heard this song in his life.

But, well, here he was. Singing it. In a baritone. Hesitantly.

If he had anything resembling a clue as to how the song went, it might have almost worked, if you squinted. As it was, he managed to get most of the words out, but forgot to breathe for any of the sustained notes, and by the end mostly just had his face buried in one hand, continuing on because they'd had a deal, after all.

He did, at least, finish the whole thing off with a, "Never let me do this again," as he left the stage.

"Hot Topic has a real shit return policy," said Rosa, by way of greeting.

And, no, they didn't, Rosa. You just had literally hundreds of dollars in merchandise and no receipts.

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"Should I ask why you needed to return stuff to Hot Topic?" Kitty asked, totally innocently.

Re: Bar

[died8yearsago]

"You're smart," Rosa said. "I think you can figure it out. And I think I'm gonna need a Diaz tonight, unless you accept store credit for lame nerdy edgelord mall crap as payment."

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"Yeah, I figured," she said, already starting on the drink. "For what it's worth, I dug the hair."

Re: Bar

[uncertain_dume]

"So." Kanan glanced sidelong at Rosa from where he was sitting at the bar. He wasn't going to just flat out go, 'Hi, Emily,' but there were just certain personalities on the island that were hard to mistake for someone else. "Apparently somebody I met last week has a hell of a way with hair dye."

As could be evidenced by the pink and blue, which, at least, managed to look 'not completely stupid' in his hair, pulled back as it was.

Re: Bar

[died8yearsago]

People around here made it really hard to just move on and ignore that things happened, didn't they? Rosa sighed, traipsed along the idea of denying anything for the millionth time since Sunday, then passed a glance over to Kanan's face. Then his hair.

Man, she was really looking forward to not ever figuring out who Caleb was, because she decided she didn't really care. It helped, of course, that she kept forgetting who Kanan even was, even if she did always remember his dog.

"Yeah, no kidding?" she said, figuring that was good and neutral, neither confirmed nor denied, even though it was a little reassuring to know that the dye had stuck in his hair just as persistently as it had her kitchen sink.

After all these years, Rosa finally understood why her mom lost her shit every time Rosa dyed her hair. Did that make her officially an old person now? Gross.

Re: Bar

[uncertain_dume]

"No kidding," Kanan agreed, rolling his eyes and slouching back in his seat. "Thorough enough that it followed me back, anyway. Props to the hairdresser for that one."

He nodded in her direction.

"I figure the least I can do in retaliation to whoever that was is buy them a drink. Dye that stubborn can't be cheap."

Re: Bar

[deaddadsclub]

"Holy crap," Cristina said, after several moments trying to work out why she felt like she'd met this woman in more than a 'was another person drinking in the same place' way. "Princess Sparkle."

Re: Bar

[died8yearsago]

Rosa was also going to dedicate herself to never knowing who Captain Buzzkill was, either, but it didn't take very long after feeling someone giving her that look that she realized of course all the people she didn't want to figure out would be at the bar on Tuesday. And she was going to go right on ignoring it as best she could until Buzzkill here had to go and open her mouth.

"I'm just going to pretend I didn't hear that," she said, with a stern glance over. She was going to just...you know...pretend she didn't hear it and not say anything at all, but maybe Buzzkill could use the little slice of advice. Or warning.

Re: Bar

[uncertain_dume]

"Okay," Kanan said, sliding into a seat at the bar and turning a grin toward Kitty. "Give me your most alcoholic non-alcholic drink, if you please."

That made all kinds of sense, Jarrus.

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

Kitty paused.

"Like... a new Kanan with hair?"

Re: Bar

[uncertain_dume]

"I have no idea," Kanan confessed, putting his hands into the air. "Everything's so ridiculously inside-out this week, and the first thing I want to do is exactly the thing I shouldn't. So let's just make it the usual Kanan with hair and I'll gnaw on coconut in frustration for a while as I pretend it's knocking me on my ass."

At least this was all said fairly jovially? He was flailing around for a foothold, but at least he wasn't angry about it anymore.

Re: Bar

[deaddadsclub]

"Is that left over from this weekend, or did you miss being a teenager that much?" Cristina asked.

Kanan could probably work out what she was referring to.

Re: Bar

[uncertain_dume]

"Ugh," Kanan replied, wrinkling his nose. "I promise, the fewer minutes of the day I ever have to acknowledge I was ever a teenager, the happier I'll be. This is absolutely from the weekend."

Sure, he hadn't made any attempt to be rid of it, but the pink was at least nominally hidden in his ponytail sort of.

Re: Bar

[deaddadsclub]

Cristina was not yet done drinking about last week, no.

"Tequila," she requested, then remembering her hangover this morning from all the shots she'd had at the other bar, added: "Sunrise."

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"On it. You survived your first bout of weirdness!" Kitty tried.

Re: Bar

[deaddadsclub]

"I would have thought that'd be the gremlins," Cristina said. "Or the guy on fire. Or being kidnapped by an island."
