Caritas; Wednesday [11/18].

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Awww!"

Summer was clearly a fan of the stockings that were hung up over a section of the bar this week, of course she would be, one of them had her name on it, which was a super adorable touch, even if Tino was starting to get unreasonably annoyed with her for checking the inside of hers every hour or so to see if there was anything inside.

"Like, hello," she said in her defense, "it's Fandom, and obviously the bar has been getting into the holiday spirit early, you're seriously going to stand there and tell me there's not eventually going to be random treats in there at some point? I just don't want to miss them."

Tino said he hoped she found nothing but coal in hers.

Summer retorted that she hoped he found a gremlin in his.

The Stage - 11/18.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Just be warned, the band has definitely started playing "All I Want For Christmas is You" every tenth song by now, and it's only going to get worse as they get into December.

"Fork that Christmas shirt," Eleanor snapped at the band when they tried to play a song. "I told you what I wanted to sing. It's totally appropriate for today's special gosh darn it."

And as the song began to play, Eleanor sang it loud and with gusto.

Because shrimp.

I saw three shrimp in the water, two were old and gray
I swam a little bit closer and. I heard the third one say

Goodbye mama shrimp, papa shake my hand
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian

He showed his mama and papa, the shrimp newspaper he read
An invitation to all the shrimp and this is what it said
Free ride, New Orleans, stay in grand hotel
Big Creole gal who help you come out of your shell
Big Creole gal who help you come out of your shell

If I should live to be ninety, I will never forget
The little shrimp and the song he sang as he jumped into the net

Goodbye mama shrimp, papa shake my hand
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian
Here come the shrimper for to take me to Louisian

The Bar - 11/18.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Come get your drink on and be charmed by the clearly very loving banter between your bartenders.

If Lucifer had known Octavia would be back on the island today, he... probably wouldn't have been here, sorry, Summer. But he didn't, and so he wandered back in with a grin carefully plastered over his face.

Since it was the only kind of plastered he could get.

"Isn't it still November?" he asked.

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Well, wasn't it just her lucky day, then?

"Yup!" Summer confirmed cheerfully. "So this," she gestured toward the lights that had been there since last week and the stockings that were added to the whole aesthetic this week, "shouldn't get old by December at all! Honestly, though, my tolerance for this kind of thing is pretty strong. I'm happy as long as I don't have to deal with any exploding giant homeless Santa Clauses."

Like it was a normal part of most people's holiday celebrations.

"So what'll it be tonight, Mr. Morningstar?"

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[my_own_advocate]

"One of your shots sounds monstrous," Lucifer noted, looking at the board. "I'll have two of both."

He eyed her. "Exploding Santa Clauses...?"

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[weirderthanthou]

"Coconut shrimp," Jesse said slowly as she leaned on the bar to look at the specials board. "Really?"

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"That's what does it for you, huh?" asked Summer, with a grin as she set down Jesse's nice generic beer, leaning on the bar a little as she followed the other redhead's eyes toward the board. "That's the bridge too far?"

There wasn't even any mayo in this one, Jess!

"I love how Christmassy it is in here already," Annie decided as she took her seat, just going right ahead and taking a side in the Is It Too Early For Christmas Decorations? War. "Oh my gosh, Summer, one of those stockings has your name on it!"

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer was not at all surprised that this was the side Annie would have chosen in this particular fray.

And she was so glad someone just got how thrilling the whole stocking thing was.

"I knoooow, right?" she gushed. "There's one for all of us who work here! Isn't that just, like, the cutest thing ever?"

Cuter if there was stuff in it! But it was still...you know...November.

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[weirderthanthou]

"Do you appreciate having hands as much as I do right now?" Jesse asked, waving her beer at Annie.

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[thatwaslucky]

"I'm somehow not surprised by this," Rey told her, smiling.

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey walked in just in time for one of those every-tenth-song renditions of Mariah Carey, and by now even she knew what that meant.

"Christmas already?"

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Slowly but surely, apparently," answered Summer with a faint grin, and a faint roll of her eyes about the whole thing. "Whether we like it or not, but I don't mind so much that it seems to be just a few things here and there. How it going, Rey? What're we drinking tonight?"

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[mother_forker]

"Hey, Rey-Rey," Eleanor said pulling up a seat next to her pal and producing the shrimp jello shot. "You must try this."

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[stykera]

Stark hadn't been back to Caritas since Halloween but now that he had his mask back there wasn't any real reason not to be out.

"Shrimp and cheese?" Summer, why.

"That wasn't a request," he added hurriedly. "Could I try the other?" It looked safe enough.

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Shrimp and cheese," Summer confirmed with her chin lifted high with pride and a satisfied sort of smile on her face. "And, yes, of course you can."

She was just as proud as that one, too, after all, although really, that should not be an even playing field. But now he had one to enjoy as Summer asked, "How's it going for you this week, Stark?"

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[mother_forker]

"You need to try this," Eleanor said signaling Tino to produce another shrimp and cheese shot.

Yes, Eleanor was the type of person to approach people wearing masks in bars and make them try weird things.

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[thatwaslucky]

He might see Rey at her seat, mouthing "Not the shrimp!"

Save yourself, Stark.

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"I owe you a drink or something," Annie greeted Stark, making a big show of waving with one of her beautiful hands that wasn't a hoof.

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[mother_forker]

After singing a lovely song (Elvis) Eleanor appeared at the bar looking extremely happy.

"You know what I want, Summer," she said suggestively. "And I want a lot of it."

It's the shrimp jello shots. Really. Just the jello shots.

Lots of jello shots.

Re: The Bar - 11/18.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Oh," said Summer, in just the same ton, "and do I have plenty."

And since that was still a little weird because Eleanor was also Summer's student in actual school and not just the school of hard knocks, that was enough of that, and she'd just go ahead and get started with two.

"In fact," she added, "I think you'll get two on the house for sticking to the theme."

Two would be just a drop in the bucket anyway, right?

The Lounge - 11/18.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Enjoy it before it inevitably gets taken over by a giant ass Christmas tree or something....

OOC - 11/18.

[somethingwithturquoise]

This week's jello shot is dedicated to the customer who literally only ordered 8 pounds of frozen coconut shrimp and one container of shredded cheese, AND THAT WAS IT. THAT WAS THE WHOLE ORDER.

Bless you, mysterious shrimp customer who I'm 99% sure was actually just Eleanor Shellstrop.

Re: OOC - 11/18.

[mother_forker]

A bizarre order to be sure. I approve of this order.
