Caritas; Wednesday [12/15].

Oh, man. What a great week so far, and Summer was thrilled about it and in a great mood that evening, so great that she was back to showing off some bar tricks for her TikTok in her (very limited) downtime. Tino offered to help her film them, but she knew he was terrible and so she was good with just propping up her phone at a distance and hoping the supports didn't give way half-way through.

But, seriously, how could she not be in a great mood? Her classes were done for the semester, her boyfriend was back, and Troy's stupidity had actually made her life a little easier with his guerilla hiring practices.

Granted, since it was getting to be the end of the semester, she was pretty sure there was some real bullshit heading their way soon, but that was all the more reason to really this high while she still could!

Also it helped that she managed to convince Tino to wear one of those fake red noses from the gremlins hiding out in the back room. She knew they were going for the whole red-nosed reindeer thing, obviously, but it just made him look more like himself: a complete and total clown.

Wednesday Jello Shot Specials!

First One Free with a Karaoke Song!

Lemon Cake
Arnold Palmer
Lemon Poppyseed
Tomato Krab Avocado Ribbon Salad



Someone had found an unexpected abundance of lemons in her kitchen that morning, yes, why do you ask?

And also, at point during the evening, a very oh-so-subtle covert addition had been made, with a picture and text sent accordingly:

And 10% Off For Blacksmiths!
Happy International Blacksmiths Day!
Totally Not a Thing I Just Made Up!
And Definitely on December 15th and Not May 28th Apparently??


Summer really needed to stop having conversations with herself on the specials board.

Caritas is open!

After leading Liz up to the stage, Prompto bounced over to the zombies to talk with them about what they were playing and what prompts were going up on the screen, and then he bounced back to give her a mic and a big grin as the music started up.

"Sorry if you don't know it!" he managed to get out, almost desperately because it had seemed like a a pretty well-known one, but he didn't know anything about these sorts of things and his line was the first one and now it was coming up and there was no turning back now!

"Don't go breaking my heart~"

Hoo, boy, he hoped he didn't mess this up! Especially now!

Liz grinned as she took the mic and managed to not drop it despite her nerves and the music started up, “no I know this one,” she assured him and then Prompto started the song and it was her turn.

“I couldn’t if I tried…” she sang.

The relief that washed over Prompto....that she knew the song, that she didn't seem to hate it, that she even ang the next line, was so strong he almost missed the next line because of it, but, once it got out of him, he knew he'd probably picked a good one, and even if everyone else hated it, the call and response between the two of them would be great and he was going to love this.

"Honey, if I get restless~

Even though her nerves were pretty evident and her voice shook slightly, Liz was starting to get into this and relaxing a bit more as she sang her next line.

“Baby you’re not that kind…”

Prompto had to laugh a little in the small break that followed, partly to let some of those nerves go, partly just because this was clearly all it was going to take to break him of any initial stage fright, and, oh, man, it was really going to get into it now.

A hand fell to his chest. That's right. He was already getting started with the gesturing, and pouring a puppy-dog look over to Liz over the mic with the repeat of the first line, "Don't go breaking my heart~"

“you take the weight off of me” there was some swaying now as well as Liz started getting more relaxed and comfortable with the performance.

"Honey, when you knock on my door~," Prompto sang out, naturally lifting that hand off his heart to rap his knuckle on this invisble proverbial door. How could he not?

"ooh, I gave you my key," and then she shyly reached out her hand as if to give Prompto the invisible key to go with the invisible door.

Sometime much much later in the evening when she and Prompto had finished singing, Liz decided to keep the Beatles theme going from last week and got up and sang.

She still couldn’t believe after all this she was actually doing this.

It was definitely going to be the Prompto and Liz show on the stage that night, because, well, if she was going to do a solo in addition to their duet, then he was going to take the opportunity to rock out a song he'd been wanting to do one of these evenings for a while now.

He was good and warmed up, too, so you know he was giving it his all.
