Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

It was the first week with the new people, so Kitty was trying to make a good impression at the bar.

50% FOR NEW PEOPLE

She had also put a kibash on the country music, and it was disturbing, but this may be what zombies looked like when they sulked.

One still wore a cowboy hat, though.

"Well, that's... uh." Fjord was rarely at a loss for words, but as he found a seat at the bar and cast a side-eye at the band, he found that in this particular case, he absolutely was. "Different."

There was indeed a word.

"Evenin'," he greeted, looking back at the bartender with a pleasant (if still a little unsettled by the zombies) smile. "I don't suppose you'd mind me asking if this is an establishment that serves food and drink, or if I've found a place better suited to more thoroughly slaking my thirst instead?"

That was a very roundabout way of asking if this bar had a kitchen, yes. But many of the inns and taverns back home had a bit of both, so it didn't hurt to check.

"Mostly drink, but we do have a little bit of a kitchen," Kitty said, glancing at Tino, who would be the cook. "Iiiii might recommend ordering a pizza to the bar."

Re: Bar

Fjord followed that gaze, considered for a moment, and then decided he'd just go with that suggestion, instead.

"Afraid I don't know what that is," he admitted, "but if you explain it to me, I'll order enough to go around."

He had... probably enough for a pizza. A couple of silver coins had converted well enough into weird paper money that he'd be able to eat, at least, until his first payday.

"It's dough covered with sauce and cheese and toppings, and Tino's got this one," she said. "He's still paying off breaking a whole lotta glassware last week."

Re: Bar

[built_fjord_tough]

"Tino would be the, uh," Fjord glanced back toward the man in question again, and then back to Kitty. "The reason it'd be better to just order pizza, then?"

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"Yes," she said seriously. "And there go all my good first impressions, hi, I'm Kitty."

Re: Bar

[built_fjord_tough]

Fjord grinned at that, and then shook his head.

"Tried to teach my class about the importance of first impressions yesterday, mostly I think I just made my co-teacher irritated at me." But the students had enjoyed the trick, so he was calling it even. "Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Kitty. I'm Fjord."

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"Good to meet you. And see, you made a good first impression there, just maybe not to everyone," she rationalizedz

Re: Bar

[built_fjord_tough]

"I figure anything that annoys one of the instructors is probably just about their speed," Fjord agreed, amused. "It's just a matter of understanding teenagers, I guess."

Or at least realizing that most of them were sadistic and hated authority.

"And you immediately become their favorite," she added. "Have you worked with kids a lot?"

Re: Bar

[died8yearsago]

"What about people who are new to teaching?" Rosa tried, although, if she was honest, she was pretty confident that she wouldn't have to push too hard to get a discount out of Kitty. By now, her dedication to drinking on Tuesday was probably already putting that baby of hers through college.

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"I could be convinced." Because, like, Rosa had a spot here. "What can I get you?"

Re: Bar

[died8yearsago]

"I think we'll go whiskey today," Rosa said after a moment. "Maybe a shot of tequila, you know, to help unwind after my class."

Which lasted all of fifteen minutes and was literally hours ago.

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"Coming right up," she said, starting on the drink. "How's the class go, Ms. Diaz?"

Re: Bar

[died8yearsago]

"Make it two tequila shots if you're going to start calling me that," Rosa said, wrinkling her nose, but the sour expression slipped pretty easily into what could actually be called a grin. "And it went...great, actually."

Yeah, she was still surprised about that, but pleasantly so. "They showed up, I had them introduce themselves using a fake persona, and then kicked them out. So pretty much perfect."

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"That's a pretty good day," Kitty agreed, sliding over the drink. "Why a fake persona?"

Re: Bar

[died8yearsago]

Rosa shrugged. "I dunno. What kinda of woman doesn't have a fake persona they want to take out for a spin every once in a while? I figured everyone's sick of all the bullshit usual introductions, and I know my fake personas are pretty crucial to the survival of my sanity, so it kinda fits the theme."

They...even seemed to enjoy it, too, which made her feel a weird sensation that might have been pride or something dumb like that.

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"I've actually never tried that just because," Kitty admitted.

And holy god would she ever get into it. She was exactly the dork to roll with it.

Re: Bar

[died8yearsago]

"Tried what" Rosa asked, grinning faintly. "A fake persona? I gave my kids five minutes; if you want to give it a try, I can set my watch, see what you come up with."

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"Amanda Desdemona, heiress to a software fortune, but like, so cool you don't know that's who she is until you start looking into questions like 'hey, who dropped thousands of dollars in cash off on the doorstep of this orphanage?'"

She came up with that immediately.
