Caritas; Wednesday [12/21].

Some of the flamingos who had performed on the pond earlier that day had moved their act over to the stage at Caritas, and Summer was trying to find a lot of things to do, because Tino kept trying to tell her about his Christmas plans, but she did not care.

So, overall, really, it felt like sort of a very average, typical, nothing really much to say about it kind of night at Cartias, and that was okay.

Just watch out for the flamingos!

It would be an excellent time for maybe a rendition of "Christmas Island," though!

The shrimp cookies and the flamingos in the bar really was just a happy coincidence, really.

The best spot to watch the flamingo flamenco that's guaranteed to happen at some point.

Be careful not to look directly at the lighted accent wall. It is very bright.

Standard work-related SP applies. Bah humbug. So have Buff Summer and Rick beating up a Neo-Nazi:

“What’s with the flamingoes?” Goose blinked a bit as he took his usual seat at the bar, he had spend most of the day in his apartment ~~brooding~~ brooding and had not seen their performance.

Summer shrugged a little. "I guess they had this big performance in the park," she offered, "but some of them weren't quite ready for the show to end. So we get a little extra nightlife flamingo karaoke tonight, why not?"

She then smiled over at Goose, and was already setting up a line of shots for him, as well as a small handful of shrimp cookies on a cocktail napkin.

"How's it going, Goose?"

After the lights incident of the weekend before last, Ignis was a little more careful when he entered Caritas tonight. He hated to do it, but with the combination of the island's holiday proclivities and Tino's own unpredictable whims, he figured it would be wise to also let his cane guide him a bit that evening. Which seemed unnecessary, as he made it to the bar without incident, but he supposed it was better to be safe than sorry. An ounce of prevention, and all that.

And now, safely at the bar, it was just a matter of deciding what he wanted that evening and taking a few moments to pick up on various threads of voices to determine who might also be there.

“Oh,” Goose stared a bit at the flamingoes before he turned his attention back to Summer, “I guess I missed their performance then,” he admitted, “it’s been … better?” he wasn’t entirely sure how to process the different emotions with the past weekend, “I think the last week rattled me more than I realised,” he said quietly.

It was probably no surprise at all to Ignis that Goose was definitely one of those voices that he heard.

“Ignis,” Goose smiled warmly when he saw him, “you came, how are you?” since it had been so long since Monday and everything.

Summer gave Goose a soft, sympathetic smile at that, subtly adding a second row of jello shots for him.

"What about it in particular," she wondered, "has you so tripped up, do you think?"

Considering that this voice was the one he mostly came into the bar on Wednesdays to hear, it would have been terribly disappointing if he hadn't heard it at all.

"Shane," he said, smiling faintly as he nodded and lifted his glass in his general direction in greeting. "I'm well enough, thank you. Yourself?"

Hey, this time of year, a lot could happen in just a handful of days!

"Oh, the flamingos are new," Connor noted as he walked in and took a seat. The majority of the day had been spent indoors working on research and such, so he had only heard about the flamingos at the pond second-hand.

"They usually just stick to the park," Summer offered with a little bit of a shrug, "but I guess they're out celebrating a good performance earlier. Could get interesting. You know how theater kids are."

She had no idea if Connor would know how theater kids are.

"What are we in the mood for tonight, Connor?"

Goose definitely appreciated that second row of shots and reached out for his first one, “I think … that … well seeing what I could have been a part of? That I could have been one of them? Instead of …” his voice trailed off, “I mean, I know I’m not alone … I have friends and family and Ignis,” Goose wasn’t entirely sure what their relationship was exactly but he did feel pretty confident including him in the list as well.

He hesitated, downing the first shot, “that day that Wolf Den happened, I .. .I wasn’t impacted by the gas but I … I could still have gone with them but I … I chose to stay and help,” he said quietly.

"It's ..." Goose hesitated, he had talked to Ignis a bit about his complicated feelings towards his Supertrooper identity at the party, "I've been better," he finally admitted, staring down at the shot glass in his hand.

After a while Cutter decided to eventually drag himself across the street to the bar, his portal home wasn't until tomorrow and he still wasn't much of a fan of staying in the apartment after everything.

"Scotch please," he said as he took a seat at the bar.

"Scotch it is," said Summer, with a nod, and a particular heavy hand for Cutter in particular, after having talked to Connor at the party about Cutter's fun little guest last week.

"How've you been, Cutter?"

She could probably guess, after having talked to Connor.

"Ah, theater kids. Overly dramatic and opinionated at times. Still hell of a lot better than jocks," Connor said with a nod as he was speaking from experience. "Theater kids would critique our performances at karaoke night, and the jocks would throw food at us or throw us in the dumpster behind the bar."

Care to guess what group Connor was most likely to hang out with?

"And it's Wednesday night, so let's go all out with one of everything!"

Connor and Rexy approve of this 1000%

Their epic 'roided buff beatdown also includesd homophobes, people who abuse animals, and the Devil. It was a very cathartic bonding time for them both.

“I’ve been better, I could have done a visit without the ex wife,” Cutter sighed, “even if she wasn’t quite the Helen I know back home,” which the idea of their being multiple Helen’s was still something he was still trying to wrap his head around.

“Especially after what happened the last time we ran into each other,”

When she’d announced in front of the whole team that she’d had an affair with his best friend and colleague while they’d been married.

At some point that night, Connor would get up and slide down the bar a bit and claim a seat next to his friend. With a small nod, he slid over one of the Pink Peppermint shots to Cutter.

"Hey," he said with a small smile. There was no need to ask how he was doing, Connor had a pretty good idea. "You all ready to head back for the break?"

"...Anything I can do to help?" asked Ignis, head tilted, expression soft. He knew he'd been a bit...distant, since he'd gotten back, or at least things would be going along fine before something happened that had him pulling back again, but that didn't mean he wouldn't be the first to jump in if there was something he could do.

“Being able to talk has helped,” Goose assured him, hesitating slightly, he felt guilty already about burdening Ignis with everything that was happening, “i just feel so stupid,” he sighed, “it shouldn’t be this big of a deal, I mean the only other Supertrooper I’ve even seen in the last few years is Killbane and it’s not like we’re on each others Christmas card lists,” he downed his next shot.
