Caritas; Wednesday [09/09].

[somethingwithturquoise]

By now, Tino thought he was prepared for whatever it was that Summer would bring in that evening now that she'd taken to doing at least one standard jello shot and one...'experimental' one, but he really should have known better.

"You're a monster, you know that?"

Summer beamed as if he'd just given her the highest praise. "Don't blame me!" she sang brightly. "Blame the internet! But you can help yourself to any if you want, Tino, and you won't even have to sing."

Yeah, he was going to pass on that one.

The Stage - 09/09.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Sing for your jello! Or just sing because, seriously, there's a stage there that does not get used nearly enough, if you asked Summer.

Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
And let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than I?
My tender heart tends to start to bleed
And when someone needs a makeover I simply have to take over
I know, I know exactly what they need
And even in your case
Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face
Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed, follow my lead
And yes, indeed, you will be

Popular, you're gonna be popular
I'll teach you the proper poise when you talk to boys
Little ways to flirt and flounce, ooh!
I'll show you what shoes to wear, how to fix your hair
Everything that really counts to be

Popular, I'll help you be popular
You'll hang with the right cohorts, you'll be good at sports
Know the slang you've got to know
So let's start cause you've got an awfully long way to go

Don't be offended by my frank analysis
Think of it as personality dialysis
Now that I've chosen to be come a pal
A sister and adviser, there's nobody wiser
Not when it comes to

Popular, I know about popular
And with an assist from me to be who you'll be
Instead of dreary who-you-were, well, are
There's nothing that can stop you from becoming popu-ler... lar

La la, la la
We're gonna make you pop-u-lar

The Bar - 09/09.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Grab a drink, chat it up with Summer, or mod Tino to your heart's content!

Sometime during the evening Summer got a text:

I'm in LA, in case you were getting worried. Sorry for missing the shots.

Seivarden expected Summer to pick up the irony.

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Yeah. Maybe a BIT.

But she wasn't about to let being on a completely different coast stop her from exposing Seivarden to this week's monstrosities, meaning a picture was definitely being sent her way.

A picture would do nothing for the mind-fuck that was a jello shot that looked like eggs but tasted sweet like cake, but she'd get what she could.

Just LOOK at what you're missing right now, Seivarden. JUST LOOK AT IT

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[1000yearstoolate]

It looks disgusting.

She sent a picture of a glass of whisky back.

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[somethingwithturquoise]

That looks...decent.

It was whiskey, it was hard to fuck up whiskey, but Summer had a feeling hers were at least poured a little heavier.

is there at least a super cute and charismatic bartender there to go with your Wednesday whiskey as well?

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[1000yearstoolate]

There was a cute bartender whom Seivarden had been flirting with two evenings in a row now, but she wasn't going to mention that.

Are you trying to get me to say that I miss you?

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

When Barry showed up in Caritas he was carrying what appeared to be a large plastic box that was just a tad unwieldy and a backpack stuffed full of various items. He then eyed the special board warily.

“Deviled egg? Who the fuck is going to drink that?”

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[somethingwithturquoise]

The sheer amount of wary looks given to the specials board during any given evening was definitely becoming a mark of pride for Summer, as she met that question with a pleased little grin before sparing at least a mildly curious glance toward the box.

"Eleanor, probably," she answered, because she knew her audience, and there was a sheen in her eyes that bordered on an almost malicious glee. "Wanna know the real fucked up part, too? There's not even any egg in it. It kinda tastes like cake."

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[badassprodigy]

"So you're just fucking with everyone?" He said, looking amused. "Yeah. Okay. I can get behind that."

He placed the square object on the table and turned it around so that the control panel was facing Summer.

"It might be hard to get someone to drink that with the description though."

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"It not about who or how many people I can get to drink it, Barry," Summer informed him loftily, "it's about the art of it all."

And those things were fucking masterpieces, dammit.

But now the box was demanding far more of her attention that just curious, questioning glances.

"What is that thing?"

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[badassprodigy]

"Well when I wasn't pulling my hair out over the weekend I was working on this," Barry said, watching for Summer's reaction. "The other week you were talking about how much time it takes to put together all your jello shots. So based on the machine I made for our date the other week, I decided to make some additional changes so you can use it for mass production. It's a jello shot machine."

He pointed to a couple of compartments on top that were labeled for easy use. "Alcohol goes there, gelatin mixture there, additives go there. Then press the button and five minutes later you have ten shots ready to go."

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[mother_forker]

After totally singing a song, Eleanor was immediately at the bar slapping her hands down in excitement.

“Deviled egg shot please!”

[Will post song next]

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"And well earned," said Summer, the irony of which was still yet to be truly determined, and she set one of the deviled egg shots down in front of Eleanor. "What else for you tonight, Eleanor?"

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[mother_forker]

"Ooo. Egg shaped even!" she said in awe and quickly downed it.

And made a face.

"Okay. Not what I was expecting," she admitted. "That tasted nothing like egg."

She sighed. "Okay. Let me try the fireball one."

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"I swear to god," said Summer, who tried not to laugh at that reaction, and...mostly managed, "you're the only person I can think of who would actually be disappointed by that, but don't worry. It's a work in progress. I've got some great ideas involving black salt..."

She set the fireball one down.

"This one is much more As Advertised, though, I promise."

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[mother_forker]

"Gimme."

She took the fireball shot and tossed it back and sighed. "Yep. That burns. But a good one," she said with a happy sigh. "This is great. I can drink but just smell like cinnamon hots."

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey of course checked the specials, and the degree to which shots were becoming food was beginning to worry her. She didn't even know what a deviled egg was.

"How is the karaoke working out?" she asked, and let it be known now: she wasn't doing it.

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Well, you couldn't bring it up like that and not expect Summer to see it as a potential window! But it was Rey, so she'd probably at least try to be subtle if she tried for that suggestion.

"Not a whole lot of takers so far," she admitted, "but it's still pretty new, people might just need time to catch on."

Because so many people took her up on the last gimmick, too.

"Although," she ventured, "maybe if more people started doing it..."

Eh? Ehhh?

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[thatwaslucky]

"Maybe more people will come in who'll do it," Rey said. Because it wasn't going to be her.

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"I mean," said Summer, who really at least had to, especially if Rey was going to frame it like that, "you're here. I can substitute the free shot for a free Dr. Pepper, even. I'm sure the band knows a few good classic jizz songs from your galaxy, too..."

Okay, okay, and maybe it had been way too long since she gave anyone crap about jizz music.

Because, seriously, guys. Seriously.

Re: The Bar - 09/09.

[thatwaslucky]

"It's never happening without a gremlin bite," Rey promised.

The Lounge - 09/09.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Because the lounge is also there, for all your lounging needs as far away from anything having to do with eggs and alcohol combined as can be within the walls of the bar itself....even if absolutely no eggs were harmed in the creation of those shots!

OOC - 09/09.

[somethingwithturquoise]

I've started eyeing the agar agar at work lately, and am mildly disconcerted by those implications.
