Caritas- Tuesday

Kitty knew. She knew as soon as she heard radio what she'd be walking into today. She even got in early to try and beat Tino there.

Alas.

SPECIALS
Hard Sell
Bitter End
Malort shots

"Tell them you made it! You have to tell them you made it!" Kitty demanded, and what followed was a little war over her adding a disclaimer for her patrons' health.

"Those are some concerning specials," Jane said, carefully taking a seat as she eyed both the list and then Tino based on the shouting.

"They are," Kitty said, glaring at Tino. "He made the Malort. Know that ahead of time should you decide you hate yourself."

"Have you tried it to check?" Jane asked, mostly out of morbid curiosity.

"I went to college in Chicago, I know it's bad enough to start with," she said.

"Ah," Jane replied, nodding at that. "Say no more. Maybe I can... brave one of them?"

"...Really?"

Oh Jane.

"I mean, if they make a cocktail, it has to be decent, right?" Oh, Jane. Jane, no.

Rosa was going to come into the bar, take her usual seat at that bar, give the specials board the expected glance, and then...just look at Kitty.

No words. She wanted to just wait and see what she had to say for herself.

"Tino wants to get fired," Kitty explained.

"And, for once," said Rosa, "I think me and Tino might be in agreement. Real red letter day."

"What, do you not feel like taking your life into your own hands today?" Kitty asked.

"I'm fine with taking my life into my own hands," said Rosa. "I'm definitely not putting it into that guy's, though. Especially not when it's actually been kind of sweet lately."

"Has it?" Kitty asked.

Please distract her from her work life.

"Oh, god," Steph said as soon as she saw the sign, unsurprised yet still appalled. "The horror grows."

She took a seat, shot Tino some major side-eye, and looked sympathetically at Kitty.

"Why."

"I tried to get in before this happened, I really did," Kitty said.

"I believe you," Steph assured her. "Hopefully radio will give people a little bit of a heads up, at least? I have never seen a squirrel look as grossed out as the one who handed me that note did, I swear."

"With good reason. There were bad choices made," Kitty said. "Choices that continue."

"Which part is worse?" Steph wondered. "The horrifying alcoholic substance or the fact that Tino and Tiny are on horrifying alcoholic substance sharing terms?"

"Second thing. We don't need them in cahoots," Kitty decided.

"Especially if there could be health code violations involved," Steph agreed with a grimace.

"...do we even have a health department here?"

Probably not.

"It's bad," Jane remarked, still clutching her jar of Luxardo cherries that were the reward and balm for trying one of them like a very brave superhero. "It's so bad."

"You really tried it, huh?" asked Steph, who was totally not just staring at Jane's arms again.

Look, she was also wincing in sympathy, and glancing up to look her in the face every now and then, okay?

Look, she had to cradle that jar close and sometimes it just showed off the gun show.

"It was to confirm things," Jane said. "Science is important."

That jar was providing a valuable service.

"Can't really argue with you there," agreed Steph. "Is that what you do when you're not..."

She gestured to Jane's arms. SHE COULDN'T HELP IT, OKAY.

"Doing the superhero thing?"

"I'm an astrophysist, actually," Jane replied. "Focus on wormhole theory. And, well, now sort of practice."
