Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

Kitty walked in to find the bar decked out in green, and there were adorable Irish setter puppies in the bar. She'd have blamed it on Tino, but he wasn't in yet, so... thanks, Fandom?

Whatever, she would be serving drinks while carrying a puppy around.

Puppies, I guess?


[IT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER. I'm deciding if you want to keep a puppy you should keep a puppy, otherwise they'll just be here for the day.]

"Awwwwwww!" said Summer, who was coming in to do some much needed drinking to get her final day of St. Patrick's week going properly, but was easily, sufficiently distracted.

It was, after all, pretty much the only response to a thing like this.

[throughaphase]

"I'm not getting attached!" Kitty said automatically, from where she was cuddling a puppy, becuse that was Clint's job and not hers.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer didn't really know Kitty too well yet, but felt like that response told her a lot, and she laughed, leaning on the bar a little before having a seat.

Slightly less weird being on this side thanks to her visits to Cait now.

"Well, I can't take them, either," she put out there. "My cat would kill me."

Buuuut her cat wasn't here now, so when a pup came toddling over to Summer, it was getting plenty of love.

[throughaphase]

"Understandable," Kitty said, as the puppy licked her hand for no reason. "Of course I said that about my dragon, and he's fine with two dogs now..."

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Dragon?" asked Summer, because again, who even were you, really, Kitty?

[throughaphase]

"I have a pet dragon from space," Kitty explained. "His name is Lockheed."

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Awww," said Summer, again, because the lack of terror in that explanation seemed to warrent as much. "Whenever we brought home dragons from space, it did not go well."

Sure, the sample size was small, but it had been more than enough.

There was a small pause. "But we didn't do well with pets in general. We had a dog that tried to take over the world at one point."

[throughaphase]

"How'd that go?" Kitty wondered.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Well," said Summer, "my dad asked my grampa to make a device to make my brother's dog smarter after it peed on the carpet yet again, but that only made him smart enough to start weaponizing himself and asserting dominance over humans in an ironic twist of fate sort of thing. And then, after getting all the other dogs in the area to rise up, too, he had, like, a revelation, I guess? That oppressing humans would just lead to cruelty and heartbreak? So, like, they just shipped off and went to go live on their own doggy planet instead."

It was...quite a bit more complicated than that. There was a whole underlying dream thing involved but Summer was not a part of that subplot.

[throughaphase]

"...Huh."

You made someone from Marvel say that, Summer.

FROM MARVEL.

Well. It wasn't quite at the level of a Letterkenny Ag Hall St. Perfect's Day bash or nothin', but Caritas did have two things that a Letterkenny Ag Hall St. Perfect's Day bash didn't: a legal precident for Wayne to actually be drinking and...puppies.

Both of those went very, very far.

One minute, it seemed Wayne had walked into the bar and, in the next minute, somehow, he was already sitting at the bar with a puppy in his arms and his first beer on the way, and how could anyone have any issues about that?

...well, if he was honest, it did seem a little unsanitary, so many puppers in the bar, but then again this was a place with a zombie band, so this was a pretty nice improvement.

[sith_said]

"Ach, nae!"

Yeah, Cait was not a fan of all the puppies. He was a stuffed cat plush! That was just asking for trouble!

"Kitty! Yoo've betrayed me! Hoo coods ye, lassie?!" he hollered from the door and fled before the puppies could get to him.

[I HAD TO.]

[throughaphase]

"This wasn't my fault!" Kitty called after him, as this puppy licked her face.

Oops.

[so_hawkward]

Because Kitty was the best wife ever, Clint had gotten the gift of puppy pictures, and it only took the length of time required to get Lexi into the stroller before he was over at Caritas. "Where are they?"

Also, hello, obviously.

[throughaphase]

"Everywhere," Kitty said, from where she had not put this one down. "We have two dogs."

[so_hawkward]

"I know. I'm sure this is just more of the island being nice to us," Clint said, picking up one of the puppies. "Although these guys definitely look like they'd get along with Lucky and Rook."

[throughaphase]

"I mean, they might..." Kitty said, watching as Lexi tried to fight her way out of the stroller to also get to the dogs.

[so_hawkward]

Clint leaned down and put one of the puppies on Lexi's lap, because the idea of putting her on the bar seemed like a bad parental choice. "You know I'd fill the house with dogs if I still lived alone, but I also like giving a home to dogs that need one. These guys are adorable, but probably fine?"

[throughaphase]

"True. Very true. Yes, thank you."

Keep her from stealing dogs.

"Of course you did just give our daughter a puppy."

[so_hawkward]

"Just to cuddle. She's a loving child." One who was currently petting the puppy very very gently as it licked her face, possibly just to be as adorable as possible.

[throughaphase]

"Oh my god," Kitty said, watching that. "Who allowed this? Who allowed this much goodness to happen?"

[so_hawkward]

"The island's random kindness?" Clint suggested. "This is also making me feel like a good parent somehow."

[throughaphase]

"Well, yeah, look how happy she is," Kitty said, pulling out her phone one-handed for a picture. "We get credit."

[so_hawkward]

"You get a lot of credit for having the puppies here. They wouldn't have shown up if the bar wasn't safe, right?"

Minus the zombies, but they were mostly harmless?

[throughaphase]

"The bar's actually one of the safest people on the island. Now it's safe and filled with puppies," Kitty said. "I don't know that I can take credit for the puppies, though. They're just sort of here."
