Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

Far be it from Kitty to let Shark Week go by this year without a theme. Partly because Lexi had caught a little bit of it while kitty was flipping channels and now the kid was obsessed with seeing "big fishes" and The Rock, and it was fine because she was too little to understand what was going on in most of it so it wasn't bad parenting, really. Either way, it was on Kitty's mind this week.

The Great White Shark Week Fishbowl
Blood In the Water
Deep Blue Sea

She'd be back behind the bar with a non-alcoholic version of the second one between customers.

"No more meat drinks?" Tony asked. "Or is this a continuation of the theme?"

[throughaphase]

"How dare you," Kitty said. "The sharks are gummies."

Which made it better.

"I think Steve was still tasting that drink for days after," Tony said, taking a seat at the bar.

[throughaphase]

"That was his own fault. Even Tino was warning him," Kitty tattled.

[imafuturist]

"And Steve is the most stubborn human being on the planet." He knew this because he married him.

[throughaphase]

"He was trying to make a case for it even after trying it," she says. "It'd have been noble if it wasn't so disgusting."

[imafuturist]

"Unfortunately I still love him," Tony said with a sigh that was just far too dramatic.

[throughaphase]

"At least tonight's offerings would end in a normal kind of regret," Kitty said.

[imafuturist]

"That they are," Tony replied. "How about a fish bowl and a glass of water to keep me on my feet for it?"

[throughaphase]

"I feel like you might need more than a glass of water, but let's see how it goes," Kitty said, going to start on the drink. "Do you want several straws, for the aesthetic?"

[imafuturist]

"Might as well." But if he was really going for the aesthetic, he'd have one of those shirts from Wednesday on.

[throughaphase]

"And know that this is an excuse for me to eat shark gummies without Lexi making grabby hands," she said.

[imafuturist]

"Ah, very smart," Tony agreed. "You can have mine as well."

[throughaphase]

"But the sharks," she said. The sharks were the best part of the drink!

[imafuturist]

"I'm sharing!" Tony insisted.

[throughaphase]

"Me too!" Kitty said.

[imafuturist]

"We could always have a bowl of gummi sharks next to the fish bowl for refreshing it," Tony suggested.

[throughaphase]

"I like this idea," she said, setting the drink in front of him. The very large drink. "Even if it means we'll just be snacking on them and refreshing nothing."

[imafuturist]

"You know, this place should serve nachos or something to go with these drinks."

YOU ORDERED THIS MONSTROSITY, ANTHONY.

[throughaphase]

"We could fire up the kitchen we never use," Kitty said.

Someone ordered something non-handwavily like once a year.

[imafuturist]

"There's actually a kitchen here?" Tony asked, considering it. "Is it Tino that does the cooking or..."

He really didn't want zombies cooking.

[throughaphase]

"Tino," she confirmed. "It doesn't get used much..."

[imafuturist]

"Maybe it's for the best."

Crushing Tino's culinary career, you two.

[throughaphase]

"Is that a no one the nachos, like a fish bowl isn't a poor choice in itself?" Kitty asked.

[imafuturist]

"I can make multiple bad decisions at the same time, but I'm trying to limit myself here," Tony replied.

[throughaphase]

"Probably a good call. One that might get revisited mid-fish bowl."

Listen, she knew.
