Caritas- Tuesday

Kitty stopped at the door of the bar when she got here today, braced herself for whatever Christmassy she was about to find.

It wasn't bad. Sure, there was a weird amount of mulled wine, but she could deal with that! It felt like a relief, which she knew meant they were in for it next week, but that was Future Kitty's problem.

SPECIALS
Mulled wine, I guess!



[Open!]

Jessica eyed the sign a bit more warily when she entered Caritas. Even more than she did the Zombies which is probably saying something.

In the end? She went with her basic greeting/drink order. "Whiskey."

Which is pretty much a "Hi! Good to see you!" in Jessica terms.

Faye had spent yesterday mostly being outrageously confused, smoking entirely too many cigarettes, and drinking.

So far, Callisto would have honestly been kind of an improvement? And no one liked going to Callisto.

However, Tuesday evening posed a choice: either spend another night curled up in the Red Tail while she figured out somewhere to refuel before taking off...or actually find a bar.

Guess which choice won out?

"What's mulled wine?" she greeted the bartender, sliding onto a stool and eyeing the board curiously.

Faye considered for a moment - she liked to warm up vodka sometimes and drink it like tea, so...maybe.

"Sure," she decided, quirking her mouth in a half-smile. "Is that, like, what you all drink around here?"

This Fandom planet was weird.

"I didn't turn into a teenager and I'm avoiding family for the holidays," Jessica replied. "So, actually pretty good."
flourish_or_perish: ([an] say what)

"Thanks," Faye replied, lifting the drink in a little toast. "What do you mean the island gave you random beverages?"

That sure was a weird statement, even weirder when paired with what Jessica had told her yesterday regarding horses and tramp stamps and teenagers.

Rosa looked at the specials board with squinting, considering eyes for a good, long moment, before finally deciding, "Yes."

And then, her attention shifting to Kitty now, she added, downright conversationally, "I think I can actually enjoy it since it's not coming out of literally every faucet on the island right now."
flourish_or_perish: ([pb] not taking this well)

Faye was just going to take a long sip of her drink, which was seriously not half bad. "Okay," she said, slowly. "Just the island? There seems to be, like, a whole planet out there."

Not that she had the foggiest idea what candy corn was, but it didn't sound like it was normal for it to be rain.

"One can hope," said Rosa, who definitely not longer trusted this place to stick to a schedule, but, hey, optimism, right? "And, yeah, I'll have some. How was your weekend?"

"Oh, I saw plenty of that," Jessica said looking amused. "I'm just glad no one saw me in my goth-girl-Kurt-Cobain-obsessed glory."
superjoanjett: (Eyebrow raise)

[personal profile] superjoanjett 2020-11-24 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Did you get to experience your teenage glory?" Jessica asked with a raised eyebrow. "And did you enjoy it? Because that's something I prefer not to relive."

"Lucky me that I landed here, of all places, then," she decided with a little sigh. "So, wait - is the island named Fandom, or the planet?"

Faye was sort of used to a whole 'this entire planet is one big city' universe.
died8yearsago: (yup that sounds about right)

"Business is booming thanks to the little B&E habit I had at that age."

Well, booming was relative in this case. There had been a few calls. Comparatively, that was a boom.

Faye just kind of gave Kitty a look, snorted, and took a drink. "Sure, okay."

Earth was not really a place where people lived, when she was from, so she was in for some surprises.

"What do you guys do for fun, around here?" Because so far this was the quietest town she'd ever been in, to the point where she was kind of wondering if it was some kind of tourist attraction.
