The Devil's Nest, Monday, June 13, 2022

[texted3times]

Well, there was good news and bad news at the Devil's Nest. The water feature had been removed from the axe range, so Eric was pleased about that.

The rest, though...

"The entire bar is pink?!"

Tiny shrugged.

Eric was going to kill someone. Tiny hoped it wasn't him.

The bar was open! Cosmos were on special because Tiny had a wicked sense of humor.

Jaye almost backed out of the bar as soon as she walked in.

"Fandom thing?" she asked.

Noticing Jaye, Marc said, in what passed for him as friendly, "Hey, liar."

[fates_jaye]

"Typically I answer to Jaye," she noted, not unfriendly herself.

[hasaknightjob]

"Shouldn't go around lying to people then," Marc pointed out. You know, to be helpful.

[fates_jaye]

"And how did I lie?" Jaye asked. "I tell so many I get mixed up."

[hasaknightjob]

"Well maybe not you but someone told me the karaoke place had a bartender who served good beer," Marc said. "But far as I can tell she never showed up there."

Marc, why were you checking?

[fates_jaye]

"What, have you never taken a mental health day off from work?"

Or been too meh on work to go?

"You went?"

Tiny looked decidedly guilty, which Eric hadn't noticed.

"I'm blaming Lucifer," Eric said.

Eric also blamed Lucifer for humidity, mosquitoes, and the bras-as-tops trend.

[fates_jaye]

"Okay. Does he realize he has to look at this, too?" Jaye checked,

[texted3times]

"He'll probably wear indoor sunglasses or fuck of to another island for a month or something," Eric said.

This was not Lucifer's fault, but Eric would not care.

[fates_jaye]

"Well, that doesn't punish him."

Jaye.

[texted3times]

I'm open to suggestions."

ERIC.

[fates_jaye]

"Can you paint his clothes pink?"

Would Lucifer even care about that? She'd met him like once.

Marc had different reasons for wanting a drink than his usual so the pink barely registered as he went to the bar.

"Give me a 'I can't believe how dense some people are,'" he said as soon as he was able to order. "If you're wondering it tastes like tequila."

[texted3times]

"Does it taste like cheap or expensive tequila?" Eric asked.

[hasaknightjob]

Excellent question. Marc had to think about it. "Tastes like the price range that won't make me regret it too much in the morning."

He was already dealing with a metaphorical headache, he didn't need a real one on top of it.

[texted3times]

Eric laughed. "Tiny, set the man up."

Their backstock was ridiculous. It came of two easily bored immortals with too much money making purchase.

[hasaknightjob]

Marc nodded his thanks to Tiny. "Is the booze going to be pink too?"

It hadn't been the last time he was here and it wasn't going to keep him from drinking it. But still, good to know in advance.

[texted3times]

"I think only if you want it in a strawberry margarita," Eric said.

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"Is this perhaps for the celebration this month and a few colors were missed?" Jaskier asked. Because the pink was A Look, Eric.

[texted3times]

"Perhaps," Eric said, sounding dubious. "It's tacky."

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"It's a bit much," Jaskier agreed, hedging on the said of tact, but his expression said it was the tackiest thing he had ever seen. And he wore doublets.

[texted3times]

"Tiny will fix it tomorrow, right, Tiny?"

Tiny shrugged one enormous shoulder, which was kind of like a yes.

[ohvalleyofpenis]

"Perhaps a blue tone to even it out," Jaskier offer oh so helpfully.

[texted3times]

"That's how I end up with a purple bar," Eric said.
