Caritas; Wednesday [05/27].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer's conversation with Nina yesterday had put her in a...thoughtful kind of mood. Introspective. Quiet. The activity had been a nice distraction, but, for the most part, she was spending an awful lot of time in her own head that day. She'd made a phone call, made some plans with her mom for a well-overdue girls' night out (after explaining several times that, no, Mom, everything's fine, she wasn't a clone of brainjacked or a different dimension Summer, she just missed her, okay, was that really so weird?), and then spent a good portion of her shift just on her phone, looking some stuff up, making some plans and adjustments. And deeply considering sending out a text, almost doing it a few times before she really thought better of it, sighed, and then tucked her phone into her pocket once and for all.

And not a moment too soon, it seemed.

"What. TheHell, Tino? Can we please not deal with chainsaws tonight?"

He claimed it was for an ice sculpture, but then where was the ice, Tino? Where. Was. The. Ice??

"Why is there cake in the drinking establishment?" Lucifer asked, stepping inside. A beat. "Oh. It's jello, isn't it?"

Look, he was still a little frazzled.

[somethingwithturquoise]

And here Summer was going to make some comment with a twist on the whole 'speak of the devil's thing, but...

"Yeah," she said instead, already finding a bottle of scotch, "it's kind of this whole thing I do. How you doing, Lucifer? Feels like it's been a hot minute."

[1000yearstoolate]

Walking into Caritas Seivarden realised she had a dilemma. It was her regular night here, and she couldn't just turn in the door and leave. She had preferred to avoid Lucifer for a while, but not even acknowledging he was there was worse.

She clearly needed a jello shot first, not that she would tell Summer that. And a whiskey.

"Double Rainbow Cake?"

[my_own_advocate]

"Not as hot as I like it this time of year," Lucifer sighed, and settled at the bar. "Give me five."

[1000yearstoolate]

"So," Seivarden said, trying to figure out how to start this. Honesty perhaps?

"I would have preferred to postpone this conversation."

[somethingwithturquoise]

"I picked it 'cause it's pretty!" Summer gushed out with mildly forced enthusiasm, as she proudly set one of them down for Seivarden and went to pour her whiskey, too. "Rainbow colors and cake-flavored vodka. Hard to go wrong with that."

[somethingwithturquoise]

Just when Summer didn't think he brow could arch more. But she set down the scotch for his and went to grab her tray.

"Five shots?" she asked, just to .ake sure. "What's the occasion?"

[1000yearstoolate]

Seivarden downed the jello shot, throwing a glance in Lucifer's direction, then downed the whiskey.

[my_own_advocate]

"I'm in a bar, and I'd like drinks," Lucifer said. "Do I need more of one?"

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer sighed, bringing a shot up to his mouth. "Indefinitely, I suspect."

[1000yearstoolate]

"No," Seivarden said. "Not indefinitely."

She frowned a little.

"How many of those are you having?"

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Nope!" said Summer, cheerfully, as she set the shot down in front of him in a neat little row.

"And there's plenty more where that came from, too," she added, as she set down the fifth one and set the tray down, close at hand.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer considered the shot, she considered the glance, she considered the whiskey, a d that how super cool and awesome and exactly the sort of night she wanted to have this was!

And then just set down another shot, went to fill another whiskey.

"So," she ventured, "how was.your daaaay?"

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer slammed the first one back.

"That," he said, "tastes like a unicorn just threw up sugar all over a glass."

[my_own_advocate]

"Well, this is my third," Lucifer said, and slammed it back.

[1000yearstoolate]

"Summer must love you." Seivarden said, taking a sip from he whiskey.

[1000yearstoolate]

"I was organising my new apartment," Seivarden said. "Although I need to ask Amaya for some help with a few repairs."

"You?"

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Perfect," said Summer with a grin. "That is exactly what I was going for."

[somethingwithturquoise]

Repairs? Or 'repaaaairs'?

But Summer kept that to herself at the moment. "Just keep the real deer away," she said. "They totally trashed our part of the obstacle course earlier. And my day was fine, kind of boring. Reworking some lesson plans, made plans with my mom..." Obsessed a little about texting the devil.... "Total yawn, right?"

[my_own_advocate]

"Could use more alcohol," Lucifer said, but then he always said that, didn't he?

[my_own_advocate]

"I come here, I drink her shots, we had decent sex one time," Lucifer said. "What's not to love?"

[1000yearstoolate]

"Good to know. I won't invite any teal deer," Seivarden said before downing the next whiskey, leaving the jello shot for now.

[1000yearstoolate]

Seivarden shrugged. "Of course," she said dryly, then added: "The next time you two want to go to a party island to mope just let me know in advance and I'll go somewhere else."

[my_own_advocate]

"Oh, trust me, I wasn't planning to give in to your puppy dog eyes again," Lucifer said dryly.

[1000yearstoolate]

"I thought you were going to try and forget about things by partying," Seivarden said. "I have no Idea why you wanted to go there otherwise, and I don't want to know, but I do think there was a bit of... misunderstanding there."
