Post-3MD Caritas, Saturday

[newroutines]

Well, it wasn't as if Caritas was going to close right after the dates! The night was still so young that it was practically prepubescent, and so there was plenty of time for people to stick around and talk some more with the dates they'd most liked - or to talk to some of the people they hadn't been matched with.

Caritas was (still) open, please buy lots to drink.

Mod Tino for speedy service, or SP with Mike!

So, it had been moderately interesting to watch the proceedings: the way people sat together for only a moment before shifting again. Wasn't something Octavia thought she'd be interested in trying, but weirdly fascinating all the same.

But now it was done, and she was left just nursing her green apple soda, almost awkwardly.

That good old disconnect from other people rearing its ugly head again.

[ooc: SP likely, but come bother her all the same!]

"A tequila," Seivarden told Tino.

She sighed as the glass was placed in front of her and threw it back.

"Another one."

Re: Bar (11/03)

Well. That was a big, fat waste of her time. Rosa was mostly upset because, out of the very viable and even enjoyable options she could have had, she'd gotten exactly none of them, and she also seemed to not understand that the whole point of this thing was to meet people you didn't already know.

But people she didn't know sucked.

People she did know kind of sucked, too, but that wasn't the point. They sucked slightly less.

She didn't know the Saturday bartender and she wanted to stab Tino in the face, so she didn't know how this was going to go over, but she was leaning on her usual faintly Rosa-shaped grove in the bar as she said, "Yeah, I'm gonna need a Diaz tonight."

She tried not to take advantage of the build-in free-drink thing because somehow Kitty thought that was a good idea, and she liked Kitty, but there were clearly emergencies that warranted it.

Re: Bar (11/03)

[1000yearstoolate]

Seivarden sat down next to Rosa and placed a tequila shot in front of her.

"If you don't want it, I'll finish it. This is was really fucking pointless."

Re: Bar (11/03)

[died8yearsago]

Yeah, that shot didn't stand a chance. It was practically gone before it had even been set down.

"What is with all these people that should know better thinking I'd ever say no to tequila?"

Seriously, people.

Rosa snorted, rolling her eyes Seivarden's way. "Glad to see you're a fan, though."

Re: Bar (11/03)

[what_the_shock]

"You got your own drink?" Miguel said. He had a beer, because why waste too much money if you couldn't get drunk anyway? "How's that happen?"

Re: Bar (11/03)

[died8yearsago]

"I'm just that cool," said Rosa.

Or maybe that much of a bordering alcoholic.

But the she snorted and shook her head a little. "Kitty had this one night where she gave everyone the chance to make their own drinks or make one and name it for someone else. I made the Diaz. Whiskey and Coke and exactly five...or maybe it was four?...ice cubes, I can't even remember anymore."

Re: Bar (11/03)

[whatdattonguedotho]

"A beer and a--" Hungry, Eddie. "--chocolate martini?"

Ugh, his life was gross.

They make alcohol with chocolate?!

But at least it was a red letter day for Venom.

Re: Bar (11/03)

[newroutines]

At least Mike wasn't really the judgey type.

"Sure, coming right up," he said, like he'd actually heard that order before. (At once, for one person - so, no, he hadn't.) "Good dates?"

Re: Bar (11/03)

[uncertain_dume]

Funnily enough, that had actually all gone pretty well? Except the Seivarden date, Kanan supposed, but that had been round one, and had been over fairly painlessly, so he'd cope.

He settled back at the bar to look around at the survivors, a coke in hand that might or might not have had rum in it.

(It did not. He was being good.)

Re: Bar (11/03)

[futurespacemom]

Hera came to sit with him, also carrying a Coke. "Hi."

Re: Bar (11/03)

[gobrookeyourself]

Brooke had signed up just to meet new people, had made at least one boy nervous, and overall had a good night. And now, drinks!

Re: Bar (11/03)

[newroutines]

And here was someone she wouldn't make nervous!

"Hey, babe," he said, leaning towards her over the bar. "Have any fun dates?"

Re: Bar (11/03)

[chirpchirpchirp]

Vette... might have fled from her last date. A little. A lot. It wasn't anything against Lana, she was sure she was great and all, but there had been...

Um...

Panic? There had been panic. About a moment of delighted girl talk about Vette and Sidon, and there had been something about Lana's encouragement that had made something in Vette's brain break, and now Vette was sitting at the bar with... Well, it had strawberries in it, but it also had bite, she wasn't sure what it was called or anything, she was just really invested in it, because if she was invested in her drink, she wouldn't be climbing into her own head and freaking out some more.

Re: Bar (11/03)

[spectre_alenko]

Kaidan passed by the bar to turn in his empty glasses. He spotted Vette and she looked to him to be a little woebegone.

"Vette," he greeted, "Everything ok?"

Re: Bar (11/03)

[in_sidon_we_trust]

Sidon was a Zora of his word. He said he would find Vette afterwards, and that was exactly what he did, after giving some time, of course, when he saw that Kaidan had also come to speak with her. He would never want to interrupt, and, besides, he wanted to ensure that he had her undivided attention. There was, after all, gloating to be had.

And so a little bit later, there was a large Zora leaning on on the bar, which he felt worked surprisingly well to getting him comfortably closer despite his height, greeting her with every single one of his sharp teeth on display in a grin and looking far, far to pleased with himself.

"I am positively ecstatic," he announced, "to report that, after some extensive and grueling research, my initial prediction has proven itself to be undeniably true. Out of the five absolutely splendid and lovely dates I had the sheer honor of pursuing, it is categorically conclusive that the best of them all was the one with..."

He paused for dramatic effect, though the softening and brightening of his expression should make it all pretty clear.

"...you."

Lounge (11/03)

[newroutines]

For chilling.

Re: Lounge (11/03)

[spectre_alenko]

Kaidan wasn't in any brainspace to go home just yet. He had most of a pint of..well, completely non-alcoholic beer-looking lemonade, really, and he was damned well going to finish it.

He found his way to the lounge, found a seat in a corner with a good view of the exit. Slouched into it like he was deflating. The Radler's was set on the table and he leaned back to examine the ceiling for a bit.

It.. hadn't gone too badly, all things considered? He knew most of the people he'd sat with. Hernando had gone full meat-market but Kaidan knew that was just to make him blush.

Which it had, damnit. His face still felt hot.

Not that Hernando wouldn't cheerfully drag him off to a lair, but they'd already had the conversation about boundaries and even tonight hadn't bent them. He smiled a little. Payback was a thing. He wasn't sure how, but somehow, some way, someday, he would make Hernando blush in public. Then he would get it on video to treasure forever. Yes. Good. A plan. He felt better now that he had a plan.

God, he wished this wasn't a non-alcoholic drink.

Re: Lounge (11/03)

[hernando_fuentes]

Hernando stopped by the bar first and picked up another imported non-beer for Kaidan. Finding him in the lounge, he slid it across the table to his friend and took a seat.

"How did your other dates go?" Hernando asked with a sip of his own highly alcoholic drink, "Did you meet anyone interesting? Have any phone numbers slipped to you?"

Re: Lounge (11/03)

[firstofitskind]

Liam had wandered in to the bar about halfway through the... whatever was going on.

Three Minute Dates, the sign had said. He wasn't sure how much of a date one could have in three minutes, but everyone was a bit too busy to ask. So he'd settled in to the lounge to wait. He'd spotted some familiar faces in the crowd (and a number of unfamiliar ones, too, actually)- maybe someone would be willing to tell him how the event had gone?

Re: Lounge (11/03)

[onefootoutthedoor]

Peebee felt that had gone fairly well, all things considered, and was going to have one last drink in the lounge to wind down after everything.

"Aw, did you just get here?" she asked, thinking she didn't remember seeing him at any of the tables. "You missed all the fun. Kind of a shame, really."

Back Room (11/03)

[newroutines]

Also available!

OOC (11/03)

[newroutines]

Up early because I like it to match the 3MD post! And also because I'm staying with friends and my availability is sporadic.
