Caritas; Wednesday [10/26].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Every single one of Summer's iconic pink tank tops seemed to have some nasty, mostly unidentifiable, but oh-god-thankfully-not-actually-blood stain on them that day, but all of her other clothes (of which she still had plenty, of course, she didn't just wear pink, you guys, god) were fine. So Summer was rocking the blue today instead, which meant that Tino thought he was just sooooo hilarious by acting like he didn't recognize her or know who she was.

Until she started to wonder if he wasn't actually just being facetious and annoying.

"Wait, Tino, are you feeling okay? You didn't hit your head or anything, did you? Do you have a concussion? You might want to go to the clinic."

But he just brushed it off and insisted he was fine, see, that stain on his shirt was just syrup, he was totally fine. And Summer had doubts, but also didn't care enough to press the issue, since he still seemed to be doing his job well enough...

The Stage - 10/26.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Please. If no one comes up and sings, there's a good chance the zombies will fall into just playing "The Monster Mash" over and over again....

The Bar - 10/26.

Where one bartender may or may not have a concussion, but, really, that's probably not even the worst thing that's happened to Tino this week anyway.

“I don’t suppose you know how to get ketchup stains out of black clothes?” Goose said hopefully as he took his usual seat at the bar, even his hat had noticeable red stains on it.

He thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask in case this wasn’t a Fandom thing and he really did have all those stains on his clothes.

Re: The Bar - 10/26.

[somethingwithturquoise]

And Summer was just going to squint at those stains a little. That kind of red? On black?

"That," she declared decidedly, "is not how stains work. But, generally, you want to just sort of dab off the excess, mix some detergent in some cool water, rub it into the stain, and then let it soak for, like, ten minutes or whatever. I think it's just a Fandom thing, though, literally all my pink shirts are covered in 'blood'," yes, you could hear those quotation marks, "stains right now, so unless a war went on in my closet last night, I'm pretty sure it's just a thing that will be gone tomorrow.

"If not," she added, "it's going to be really annoying that there's no dry cleaning place on this island."

“I wasn’t too sure, I thought it was blood at first, that my healing factor had somehow stopped working,” Goose admitted after he listened to Summer’s instructions. “Even though I didn’t check my other clothes to see if they had any stains either,”

Of course he hadn’t.

Every time Stark had changed his shirt today he ended up looking like he'd been shot, a little. After the 3rd or 4th shirt he'd given up. The light brown shirt he'd ended up with had a slightly sticky stain on it.

"Hello, Summer!"

Re: The Bar - 10/26.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Hello, Stark," Summer greeted back, with a glance toward that stain. "You, too, huh?"

Re: The Bar - 10/26.

[stykera]

"I didn't get shot," he said quickly. "All of my shirts looked like this all day. So, yes. I think?"

Steven had given up on avoiding the stains. He'd moved on to trying not to spread them to other surfaces. Though, being Steven, this was met with middling success.

As such when he got to the bar he was immediately distracted by the need to grab a handful of cocktail napkins and use them to try to clean up the raspberry syrup he'd smeared across the bar's surface.

This would probably work better if he wasn't using the same hand as the sleeve the syrup was dripping off of.

Re: The Bar - 10/26.

[somethingwithturquoise]

And in came the bartender with a nice wet rag to sweep in to interrupt before this turned into even more of a comedy errors, and a dry towel for that dripping sleeve.

"Steven," Summer greeted. "Leaking today, are we?"

Re: The Bar - 10/26.

[hasaknightjob]

"Cheers." Steven took the towel gratefully. "Yeah, looks like. Been happening all bloody day. Well, not bloody I suppose. At least there's that. How are you doing?"

Re: The Bar - 10/26.

[pocketpretzels]

“Hello, you,” Watts greeted. If said greeting was said with a bit more of a mournful tone than usual, it was the ketchup-covered state of his clothing that had done it, not Steven’s presence.

Re: The Bar - 10/26.

[stykera]

Might be better off just removing the shirt, Steven!

"Do you need help?"

Re: The Bar - 10/26.

[pocketpretzels]

“I suppose,” Watts said, surveying the other patrons of the bar, “it is reassuring to know it is not just me.”

Re: The Bar - 10/26.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"If something weird and random and, above all else, stupid is happening," Summer declared, with all the authority of someone literally teaching a class on it, "odds of it not being you are definitely in your favor. What can we get you today, Detective? Other than possibly some of the bar towels."

Re: The Bar - 10/26.

[stykera]

"Most of the time, here, it isn't just you. Except when it is. Sometimes it's hard to know when it's going to be one or the other. But it helps knowing you aren't alone in dealing with these things. Usually."

Hello was for other people today, apparently.

John informed Arthur that Watts was there, so since he was one of the few people Arthur had met so far, Arthur nodded and tipped his hat to him. His hand came away stained with grenadine, but he didn't notice. "Detective Watts. Good evening."

Raiden ruined so many shirts by getting them splattered with red stuff--jam, ketchup, pizza sauce, actual blood--but at least he usually knew more or less where it came from.

He squinted at the specials board for a moment and decided, "I'll take...three of each. And a bottle of that fake blood stuff to doctor 'em with." This was going to end poorly even if the fake blood didn't work and the alcohol continued to have no effect. That much sugar...

Re: The Bar - 10/26.

[somethingwithturquoise]

There was....a slight pause, because Summer had an idea of how Raiden metabolized (or rather, in this case, didn't) alcohol by now, but she still didn't know him well enough to not at least pause before dutifully setting up three very neat little rows of shots. Followed by some of the fake blood. And a conveniently recently bottled version of Barry's Special Brew for Celestials because she did remember that that was a thing she was working on for him or Gray to try.

"Rough day?" she guessed.

Re: The Bar - 10/26.

[stykera]

"Not enough blood that isn't blood on your clothes?" Stark asked.

Re: The Bar - 10/26.

[two_idiots_one_body]

Arthur had tried the other bar already; he thought this one merited a chance, too.

It was a bit noisier than the other.

"To your left and straight ahead. There's a seat at the bar." John started his crutch that direction and Arthur followed. "There are a lot of people here, Arthur. The bartender is Miss Smith, the one that gave you the phone. There is a sign that says tonight is 'Jello shot specials', whatever that means. I don't recognize any of the flavors except whatever a 'floating eyeball' is."

"A floating eyeball?" Arthur asked, torn between amusement and disgust. "I'm assuming not a real one."

Re: The Bar - 10/26.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Oh, no," said Summer, catching that as she headed over, "totally real. Want to try it? How've you been? How's that phone working out for you?"

The Lounge - 10/26.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Because it's there, so why not lounge it up?

Only good decisions are ever made back here!
