Caritas; Wednesday [01/12].

[somethingwithturquoise]

The moment Summer walked into the bar for her shift with her arms filled with her jello shots, Tino opened his mouth to say something to her, and, immediately, she was not having it.

"No," she said firmly, having had more than enough of coworkers harrassing her about some holiday that was definitely made up by some kind of fetishist or potentially just her pervy coworkers, thank you! "Don't even think about it!"

And Tino faltered, mouth still hanging open with the words that never made it out, and then he closed his mouth and gave her a withering look, because all he was going to do was ask her if she wanted to make soemthing out of all this extra flavored vodka they got delivered earlier that day, but if that was how she was going to be about it, he wasn't even going to bother!

The Stage - 01/12.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Sing for your jello! Or just sing! That's also totally legit!

The Bar - 01/12.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Where there is only one person allowed to celebrate International Kiss a Ginger Day with her.

(Maybe with, like, two exceptions, shhh).

“Evening Summer,” Goose grinned when he came up to the bar and read the specials, “I think I’m definitely going to have the Sequin Salad first,” there was a pause, "are there actual sequins in it?" he asked with a tilt of his head.

He would honestly still have tried it even if there were.

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Three exceptions.

What?

"No," Summer answered, sounding way too excited about that prospect and all too pleased that Goose had only thought to ask after he'd said he'd try it, and she went and got on to set in front of him. "It's cauliflower!"

Because that made sense.

But she also set beside it a tiny cup of French dressing.

"The recipe suggests," she added, "chasing it with this."

Serve with French dressing, Summer. The recipe said serve with French dressing, not chase.

Look, she was making it her own.

And she had a strong feeling Goose might actually do it.

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[notagoose]

Summer would be correct there because Goose had no sense of self preservation whatsoever.

“Well if that’s what the recipe says,” Goose grinned, which considering he had only just learned how to properly follow recipes himself wasn’t really saying much.

He quickly downed both the shot and then the cup of French dressing.

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Oh, Goose. Bless your big, dumb, often shirtless heart.

Summer watch that transpire without him even questioning it with a look of gratitude and a little bit of awe, and then she lightly shook her head.

"So?" she then had to prompt. "Thoughts?"

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[notagoose]

Goose grinned, “that was incredible, the salad dressing really added to the flavour,”

He wasn’t even lying about that either.

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"So," Summer couldn't help laughing a little, marveling as she shook her head. "One for the records, for sure. Wanna go in for a second, or should we move onto to the others? There's no salad dressing chasers for those, but the margarita one does have a sweet salted sugar garnish!"

Will had been a little, uh, Concerned, when Steve had suggested a ‘practical exercise’ in place of their regular shooting lessons this week. Turns out he’d just meant laser tag, which had actually been pretty fun (mostly because they’d worked as a team against other patrons rather than against each other, because that match would’ve probably been over in about five minutes).

Anyway.

Tino seemed much less enthusiastic about International Kiss A Ginger Day by the time Will made it in to the bar. Was it because he was straight? Just had a weird thing for Summer specifically? She’d successfully put the Fear of God in him? Or some combination of all the above?

“Hey Summer,” he greeted, “Think I’ll start off with just a beer, thanks.”

What a surprise.

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer would like to propose yet another option, and that was merely that she was made to suffer.

(Although, as it turned out, not nearly as much as her brother had been).

She joined in on the mun's clear overuse of the term withering look today, though there was a faint smile in it as she retrieved said beer and set it before Will without looking too disappointed in him.

"One nice generic boring beer," she declared cheerfully. "How've ya been, Will?"

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[doctorgingerspice]

Listen, putting oneself through undergrad and then med school wasn’t cheap, he still had an ungodly amount of student loans to pay back. Which meant keeping to the boring cheap stuff.

“Oh, you know,” he shrugged. “Keeping busy.” Which wasn’t actually sarcasm, the last couple weeks had been pretty busy, relatively speaking. “You wouldn’t believe the number of people on this island who don’t know how to walk in the snow.” So many twisted ankles, Summer, so many.

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[somethingwithturquoise]

You couldn't get much cheaper than free, Will! All it cost was a measely little song on stage!

"I mean," said Summer, "with all those stairs..."

Was it...it was a little bad, wasn't it, that Summer was now thinking there could be some great internet points in just setting up a few cameras on a few select streets and posting the results, wasn't it?

"I'm definitely glad that for this job, all I've got to do is pretty much cross the street. And now you have me thinking I need to really bring in some good winter boots or, like, cleats to help people out at the store..."

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[doctorgingerspice]

“Maybe some ski poles, to help people with hiking up all those stairs,” Will suggested.

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve sat down, still full of energy from their epic laser tag game.

Way to beat the snot out of some older teenagers, team!

"That was fun," he said enthusiastically.

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[doctorgingerspice]

“It was,” Will agreed. “Even if you pretty much carried our team.”

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[grenadesandohana]

"Well, laser tag was pretty much the job the Navy was paying me for," Steve said, laughing. "I better be good at it."

Or else he'd be shot a lot more than he was.

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[doctorgingerspice]

“Still, I did manage to get off a couple good shots, don’t you think?” Will asked.

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve was here to hang with Will, but bar, so it would be rude not to say hello to Summer.

"Hello, Summer."

See?

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[somethingwithturquoise]

It would be rude! So Summer was very touched that Steve-without-the-extra-Es was not a rude person.

"Hey, Steve," she greeted him back with a smile because she was not rude, either. Well. At least she wasn't rude to hunky bar patrons who weren't rude to her, anyway. "What can I get for you tonight?"

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[grenadesandohana]

"What's in a winter margarita?" he asked.

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Oh, that's a good one," said Summer, with so much confidence that she'd already grabbed one to set down in front of Steve. "You've got tequila, obviously, but also triple sec, apple, cider, cranberry juice and lemonade with a little crushed salt, sugar, and orange zest garnish, all in one convenient little bite! Also, I mean, just look at it, it's gorgeous."

And she wasn't even just saying that because it was pink!

...but that was mostly why she was saying it.

Re: The Bar - 01/12.

[grenadesandohana]

"It's very pink," Steve observed a little dubiously.

The Lounge - 01/12.

[somethingwithturquoise]

For all your lounging needs!

The Back Room - 01/12.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Darts! And stuff? Maybe?

Still with glitter from New Year', though, 100%.

OOC - 01/12.
