Caritas; Wednesday [12/02].

[somethingwithturquoise]

This was exactly the sort of week that Summer absolutely lived for, because literally every day was just crammed with stuff she had to do and plot for in preparation for Friday, even if a small portion of this day had been dedicated to trying to make sure two cats didn't eat any of the tinsel that got tracked into the apartment in her various comings and goings. So her spirits were definitely high, even if it seemed that every other thing she needed behind the bar was gift wrapped, and Tino was chuckling quietly to himself whenever she did, like he had anything to do with it, but Summer suspected it was just more shenanigans and he was just trying to take credit for it.

Honestly, though, did it really even matter?

Also, Summer had been kind of planning to just phone it in for her jello shots tonight to drum up excitement for Friday's ~debut~, but Monday had served as a sort of inspiratin, and this was the sort of week where her energy just somehow fed into itself to make her even more productive, and...

Besides, like she could just subject Seivarden to only basic ass shots as her first ones after getting back from two months/two years.

The Stage - 12/02.

Take to the stage and get your karaoke on, Christmas-themed or otherwise!

The Bar - 12/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Service may be slightly slower due to random things needing to be unwrapped before they could be used or poured, but there's plenty of jello shots to keep you satisfied in the meantime!

"Are the cats having fun today?"

Two years might have passed, but Seivarden still remembered a cat during tinsel day.

"It's good to see you again, Summer."

She looked mostly the same, although healthier and fitter, with longer hair, in Radchaai uniform, and with a small collection of pins decorating her coat.

Re: The Bar - 12/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Speaking of cats and what they may or may not have dragged in!" Summer beamed, a little surprised by just how good it actually was to see Seivarden again. "Look at you! That trip home did you some good."

Re: The Bar - 12/02.

[1000yearstoolate]

"Oh, it did," Seivarden said with a grin. "It definitely did."

She offered Summer a small paper bag. Tea of the best quality was a suitable gift here, after all.

"I brought you this."

Annie was in that same ridiculously good mood she'd been in last week, flushed and smiling even as she picked tinsel out of her hair and took a seat at the bar. "I can't believe you're even serving jello right now," she noted admiringly. "Like if ever there was a time to just say that the special is just like, 'bourbon poured in a glass, you're welcome,' it's this week."

Re: The Bar - 12/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"No way," Summer assured her with a grin. "I, like, feed off of this kind of energy, Annie, the more I have going on, the better."

It kept her too distracted to think about things and feel constant existential dread! Yay!

"Like, I was actually totally planning on phoning it in with the shots today, but I just got inspired anyway and couldn't, you know? Plus, a friend just got back from two years in space without jello shots, and I just couldn't do her dirty like that.

"Sooooo," she then continued, as if that wasn't enough, "what're we getting? How are we doing? Are we totally ready to give the best party ever this weekend??"

Re: The Bar - 12/02.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"According to my list," Annie told her, pulling out her phone and consulting the notes app she was using to keep track of things, "just about everything I ordered should've shown up by now." Unless it hadn't, sorry Rey. "And the cookies are being handled because Rey is the greatest, and we just have to throw everything up on the walls and stuff tomorrow, and I have my outfit hanging up in my closet - oh, dude, Summer, what are you going to wear?"

Because one could not be too busy planning the party to not consider one's amazing party outfit. Particularly when Annie's had so many bows on it she probably wouldn't really be able to sit down.

Re: The Bar - 12/02.

Seivarden was fairly sure this was a new person.

"I don't believe we've met. I'm Seivarden Vendaai."

She bowed slightly, now used to Radchaai manners again.

Re: The Bar - 12/02.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Hi!" Annie watched the bow, curious and unsure whether she should bow in return. She ultimately just extended a hand with a bright smile, since that was the custom where she was from, so she felt pretty confident in it. "Annie January. It's nice to meet you. Are you new to Fandom?"

Seivarden was a distinctive enough name that she was pretty sure she knew it from the radio, but it had also been a minute since she'd heard it.

Stark had managed to accumulate a fairly substantial amount of tinsel on his person during his walk to Caritas. He brushed most of it off before coming in but some did cling rather stubbornly, especially to his mask.

"Is the pie shot tiny pies again?" he asked. He was just going to pretend that ham one didn't exist.

Re: The Bar - 12/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

That was generally a very good plan.

"They are," Summer enthused, with a little gesture toward the tray where her little army of alcoholic gelatin goodies stood ready and waiting for orders. "I really like doing the pie ones; presentation is a big deal, after all, and they just look so cute and adorable and generally easy to consume, too!"

Re: The Bar - 12/02.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Stark, are you busy Friday?" Annie greeted him, wandering over with her own drink. "Because you have to come to our party."

There would be delicious jello shots there, too! And hopefully no ham ones, but Annie knew Summer too well to count on that.

"I need some kind of tinsel brush," Lucifer complained, brushing bits of glittery nonsense off of his suit on his way in. "It's so-- messy."

Re: The Bar - 12/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

In the high of all of her party planning and machinations, Summer was in that moment of boldness where she was just going to take that introduction as an excuse to interpret it as an invitation to use her own fingers as a brush and just may have leaned over the bar a little to pick at least one clinging piece of tinsel off Lucifer's suit as well.

"It'll be gone before you know it," she then assured him, settling back down to her comfort zone behind the bar, and then got to something much more important and pressing anyway that she was totally not planning on blasting him with if he'd come in that night or anything, really.

"You're coming to the party on Friday, right?"

And then, as if to sweeten the deal, was already setting down some jello shots for him on the bar. He was probably going to be getting some anyway, right?

Re: The Bar - 12/02.

[1000yearstoolate]

"Lucifer?"

It could be someone else, of course, knowing this island, but he did look a little too familiar. On the other hand Seivarden had assumed he had gone back to Hell for good.

"If you had that pie as an actual pie, I'd take it," Jesse said, sinking into a seat next to the seat where she'd sat last time, which was two seats away from where she used to sit.

Don't ask.

Re: The Bar - 12/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

She wouldn't. Summer honestly barely noticed, except for a slight tingle in the back of her brain that things were slightly off from the week before.

"I mean," she offered, "technically speaking, it is an actual pie, just with the booze in it, but if that's your way of asking me to make you a pie, Jess, you could have just asked."

She knew that wasn't what she was doing, but now Summer definitely wanted to make her that pie.

In the meantime, though, she was getting that beer. And to the important questions:

"You're coming to the party, right?"

Re: The Bar - 12/02.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Are you busy on Friday?" Annie asked, unknowingly totally ganging up on poor Jesse, here. "Because we're having a party and you should come."

Especially since, like Danny and Steve, Jesse would probably hear it through the floor if she didn't attend.

"There's a light up snowman in my apartment," Rey said.

Re: The Bar - 12/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Does it also sing?"

Yes, thatbwas the first thing to pop up in Summer's mind, with the sort of enthusiasm that made it clear that she really hoped it sang.

But, either way, have a Dr. Pepper, Rey, that you were definitely not going to be billed for, because you were a saint right now.

Re: The Bar - 12/02.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Barry's going to make us glitter cannons!" Is that what you wanted to hear, Rey? It definitely was, right?

(Barry had been drafted for this, it should be noted.)

Re: The Bar - 12/02.

[stykera]

"Annie says there's a party," Stark said, walking over. "And I should be 'festive'."

He was going to end up with an ugly sweater and a hat and one of those light up necklaces, wasn't he?

The Lounge - 12/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Where there's actually a higher frequency, for some reason, of you winding up having to pick a thread of tinsel out of your drink once you get settled.
