Caritas; Wednesday [05/05].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Oh? What was that? Some other country's holiday that basically turned into just another excuse to drink in this country just so happen to fall on a Wednesday again? Oh noooo, what a shame, it looked like Summer would have to go all out on a theeeeme again, how traaaagic.

So. If you didn't know already, today was Cinco de Mayo, and Caritas was all decked out accordingly for the occasion.

But, you know, like, tastefully, or whatever, but Summer would also like to point out that her maternal surname was Sanchez, so she probably had just as much a claim for usurping Cinco de Mayo as she, a redhead named Smith, had for usurping St. Patrick's Day.

Also, it was literally just an excuse to party. You really didn't need to go any deeper than that.

¡Cinco de Mayo Jello Specials!
Paloma
Mangonada
¡Viva México!
Corona Lime
Guacamole

Also:
Happy Dutch
Liberation Day, too!

Caritas is open!

The Stage - 05/05.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Bonus points/shots for anything sung in Spanish!

The Bar - 05/05.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Why, yes, the Guacamole shot does come with a side of chips!

Well, look who'd gotten off enough time off from work to not only manage to visit her boyfriend, but to also stay on-island long enough for freaking Cinco de Mayo jello shots?

She had also, thankfully, acquired normal clothes, so Annie was looking very much her normal self as she settled onto a barstool and laced her fingers under her chin expectantly.

Re: The Bar - 05/05.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Annie!"

No. No. Just sitting there at the bar looking all cute and shit was not going to cut it, Miss Big Time Superhero, because Summer, after that squeal when she saw her there, was not hesitating to launch herself up over the bar (sure, sure, she could always just go around, but where was the fun in that?) and straight up attack you with a hug.

You just did not show up and not get hugged, dammit!

Re: The Bar - 05/05.

[stykera]

"Annie! You're here!" Obviously she knew that but it was unusual now and so it was worth commenting on.

Re: The Bar - 05/05.

[firstofitskind]

"Well well well," Liam said, wandering over. "Look who the squirrels dragged in."

Re: The Bar - 05/05.

[weirderthanthou]

"Annie," Jesse greeted, lifting her beer. "Managed to sneak out to come see if we're still standing?"

It was Wednesday, and last week's shenanigans were over, and Lucifer was still concerned.

So look, he was calling again.

"... don't you dare send me to voicemail again," he muttered to his phone as he pressed the call button.

Re: The Bar - 05/05.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Oh, Lucifer. It wasn't like Summer was going to think her new phone was possessed by some weird island-created version of you! Even if the fact that you actually called people was still really weird to Summer and only reminded her of how incredibly super mega old you were.

"You do know that calling me during work hours is probably the worst time to call, right?" Summer said when she answered, by way of greeting.

She didn't sound too upset about it. It was just a multitasking kind of week!

Re: The Bar - 05/05.

[weirderthanthou]

"So can we get the chips without the shot...?"

Jesse had to try.

Re: The Bar - 05/05.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Only if you order them with a generic beer," Summer informed her.

What? Like she was going to deny chips to the mayor? Who was also her friend that she liked and also Summer sought value and validation through giving people things and so anything extra she was totally going to just jump on.

Re: The Bar - 05/05.

[firstofitskind]

And there was Liam, giving Jesse that patented ‘looking at the same thing as everyone else and seeing something completely different’ look of his that he had.

“Evening,” he greeted, holding his Sprite up in a sort of salute.

"So there's a holiday I missed?" Seivarden asked, showing up early.

Should she mention last week or just ignore it as much as possible? She couldn't decide.

Re: The Bar - 05/05.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Two holidays!" said Summer, who was now infused with all the knowledge that brief internet searches could instil in a person. "Possibly even more! Who even knows? I'm sure Apu could give you a whole list of things that are celebrated today, but these are the big ones that are actually real and based on real shit and not just something I'm pretty sure he'd make up to sell more tortillas and, like, oranges or something."

There was a duffel over her shoulder and a smile on her face as Eleanor approached the bar. “Hola Amiga! Let’s round up one more round of Jell-O shots because there’s a greyhound bus with my name on it heading back to Arizona.”

Re: The Bar - 05/05.

[white_oleander]

Astrid sort of wondered, as she came in and ordered a beer because she really didn't know what to order at bars still, if she was ever going to step foot in this place for anything except Three Minute Dates now that Eleanor was heading out, because she was pretty sure it was by her influence, with that exception, that she ever bothered to cross the threshold.

Which wa a shame, really. There was probably some good people-watching to be had here, and the band alone could be a fascinating study in anatomy gone wrong.

Stark had missed the usual Wednesday routine last week, though he had been somewhat distracted by the overwhelming sense of dread. This week was better so far. Not that that was difficult to achieve.

"No guacamole," he said, eyeing the specials list a little suspiciously. Maybe he hadn't missed everything about Wednesdays.

Re: The Bar - 05/05.

One of these days, Troy would come into Caritas, have a seat, order a beer, and not feel like he was getting away with something nefarious.

Today was not that day.

If any actual adult actually talked to him, he'd probably jump about a mile and be nervous through the whole thing, whilst pretending he wasn't nervous and doing a very poor job of it.

Re: The Bar - 05/05.

[firstofitskind]

Liam knew the date, but he didn’t really know the date, if you know what I mean? So seeing the bar all decked out kind of took him aback for a moment.

“Whoa,” he commented, eyeing the decorations and those Jello specials.

Was still probably going to stick with Sprite like the boring person he was, though.

Re: The Bar - 05/05.

[sexy_giraffe]

"Should guacamole be...jelloed?" Tahani asked faintly.

The Lounge - 05/05.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Lounges are particularly good for when one is in the mood for lounging!

The Back Room - 05/05.

[somethingwithturquoise]

For darts and/or getting away from any random spur-of-the-moment parties in addition to the current party that may or may not occur on this fine Wednesday.

OOC - 05/05.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Season 5. Gimme. Ohgod. Literally the day after Summer's fake birthday, which I feel should mean something, right? Right, guys?

Re: OOC - 05/05.

[my_own_advocate]

1) It's also Dutch Liberation Day. I'M JUST SAYING.
2) 100% fate and birthday blessings.

Re: OOC - 05/05.

[defenderofdesmoines]

So first of all is Summer's fake 21st birthday on a SATURDAY? Like, amazing.

But also I did not know this and I literally just marked my calendar for season 5. Which means SEASON 4 REWATCH WHOOOOO.
