Caritas; Wednesday [07/20].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Of course the meat seltzers had somehow made their way to Summer Smith. How could they not? How exactly they'd gotten to her, however, was a question for the ages. It was probably a good case that, when depositing hazardous waste materials, it's was very important to follow proper procedures, Tino. You never know where that shit might end up.

Except, well, everyone saw this coming, right?

And Summer didn't even feel the slightest bit bad about it, either. If anything, she knew at least one of her regulars was going to go nuts for these. That said, it did make her actually feel it was a good thing the chocobros were dimension-blocked at the moment, because she was pretty sure it would give Ignis an existential crisis to learn he kissed a mouth that had also enjoyed meat seltzer jello shots.

She also probably could have just....you know...not, buuuut....

Naaah.

She couldn't disappoint the masses, after all....

The Stage - 07/20.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Where, really, if you're going to have a zombie band, that just sets the precedent for things like meat seltzer also coming back from what should have been their grave.

The Bar - 07/20.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Where the Olive Loaf shot is even garnished with a little olive.

But only RIPE olives.

From California!

“Who’s Oscar Mayer?” Goose asked by way of greeting as he read those specials because yes he was very interested in trying those meat seltzer shots.

Actually he’d try the vegan ones too but the meat seltzers had his attention at the moment.

Sorry Ignis.

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"I don't know," said Summer, "some guy who makes bologna?"

She was unaware of whether or not Oscar Mayer was even a real person, which was something you'd think such a connoisseur of ancient terrible food history would know. But she clearly couldn't be bothered to google it at that moment.

"It's a brand," she offered, "of processed meatstuff."

Knowing that that alone would sell Goose on it, she was already lining up his shots.

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[notagoose]

Goose was definitely sold on it, not that that really took much convincing, “then I’m definitely interested in trying it …maybe there could be even extra shots of meat seltzer?” He asked hopefully as he went for his first shot ... deciding to go with the original bologna first.

His healing factor never stood a chance.

"You know what?" Dwight asked as he sat down at the bar. "This might be the first time I willingly pass on the jello shots and stick to liquid drinks."

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Not even the vegan ones?" asked Summer, brows shooting up. "Harsh, brah."

But then that surprised expression turned into a grin, "But don't worry, the meat ones come in cans, too."

Don't mind Summer now subtly nudging a can of Olive Loaf Seltzer across the bar Dwight's way.

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[alwaysonguard]

"Something without meat and seltzer in the title at the same time, I might be convinced." Dwight looked at the can and then gave Summer a look. "You do remember my Trouble is a bullet magnet trouble right? I'm not a supe. I don't have an iron stomach or anything like that" he said with a slight chuckle.

[shireisburning]

Eddie scraped together enough money hustling the teens at the arcade that he could finally head to a bar. He thought he had more than earned a beer after all of this shit.

And he would be sticking to beer, after seeing the specials. Gross.

"Cheapest beer you have, please." What were these prices?

(They were 2022 prices, Eddie.)

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Hooray! Inflation!

Luckily, Summer always had a good stock of generic beer close at hand, and didn't hesitate for a moment to set one down in front of Eddie, looking him over to confirm that this was definitely a new face, and, considering the that opening line, threw in a, "You know, I throw in a free jello shot if you do karaoke, too" for good measure.

Granted, half the jello shots tonight were meat-based, so maybe not the best night to promote that to a newb, but you never knew!

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[shireisburning]

Eddie glanced up at the specials board. "Ma'am, I would do karaoke to not get one of those shots."

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey was eyeing the specials board real warily. It actually looked like maybe she was thinking of backing out.

She'd eat most things, happily! But.... but.... standards.

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer swore, these people.

"HIIIIIII REEEEEEEY!" Summer shouted out when she spotted her and her eyes taking in that specials board and practically feeling that flight-or-fight response leaning heavily toward flight.

But now that Rey (and the whole bar, apparently) knew that Summer had spotted her, maybe it would be a little more difficult for her to just weasel on out of this one.

Like, people knew that the shots weren't mandatory, right??

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[defenderofdesmoines]

Summer. She loved you but, genuinely: was something wrong? Was this some kind of cry for help?

Annie was pure concern as she looked from the specials board to her friend. "No," she said simply, shaking her head. "No, I think I want a beer."

She'd never done that before! Caritas! On a Wednesday. And yet: beer.

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer really didn't know what to think of all these people who were supposedly her friends---besties, even!--apparently being surprised by literally any of this.

Like, hi, have you met her???

"Okay, like, did I write the part about vegan options in invisible ink or something?" Summer asked, dutifully getting Annie a beer and looking very disappointed in everyone. "Because I could swear, they're there, but everyone's just blinded by the meat, or something."

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[stykera]

"Oh no," Stark said softly when he saw the board. "Again? Or is it still?"

Was the meat seltzer some sort of invasive species?

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[somethingwithturquoise]

No more so than any other meme, really.

"Again?" asked Summer, brows lifted, in intrigue, completely unaware of the complex network of events that had truly brought them to this exact moment in time.

"Stark! Have you been imbibing meat seltzer without me?"

The shock! The betrayal! The...incomprehensibility!

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[sith_happened]

"Would you also be interested in the leftover sodas from the shenanigans?"

ANAKIN DO NOT ENCOURAGE THIS.

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer bit down the grin slowly blossoming on her face, as if she, for a brief moment in her life, actually managed to possess some suggestion of better judgement.

But what she wound up saying, of course, was a very firm and resounding, "Yes, please."

Followed very shortly by a, "How are you, Anakin? Can I interest you in a lovely meat seltzer jello shot this fine evening?"

Karmicly speaking, it would only be fair.

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[stykera]

"Absolutely not," Stark said flatly.

Anakin, why.

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[weirderthanthou]

"Why do I want to try the meat seltzer shots?" Jesse asked, as she walked in and stared warily at the board. "I don't understand."

Re: The Bar - 07/20.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Because you love me and they're amazing and maybe you hate yourself a little, but also, Anakin Skywalker bought everyone a free round so you really have no excuse not to?" Summer tried. Guessed? Suggested.

And set down a standard generic beer, too, just for good measure.

The Lounge - 07/20.

[somethingwithturquoise]

It's as far away as you can get from the meat seltzer jello shots in the bar without also having to go near the stripper pole.

The Back Room - 07/20.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Because being near the stripper pole is worth being away from the meat seltzer shots.

OOC - 07/20.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Obviously best served with a nice slice of balogna cake.
