Caritas; Wednesday [03/15].

[somethingwithturquoise]

When Summer came in for her shift at the bar that night, she was immediately struck with concern at all the wisps of smoke drifting around and clinging to the ceiling, bringing her jello over to the bar and frowning at Tino. "Is there a fire in here?"

She wouldn't put it past him not to notice if, like, the mechanical bull short-circuited and the entire back room was in flames right now, but, really, there was no heat or no burning smell...

It was just Tino, apparently, experimenting with smoking drinks.

"Yeah, I think you might be going a bit overboard with the dry ice, there, buddy," said Summer, who, moments later, after mixing a few herself, could totally understand how this could get out of hand, although she was kind of wondering where Tino had even gotten this much dry ice.

The Stage - 03/15.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Might be a good time to bust out 'Smoke on the Water,' really.

The Bar - 03/15.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Between the dry ice cocktails, the pre-holiday shots, and the Caeser-inspired ones, there's a lot going on here today.

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[defenderofdesmoines]

There sure was a lot going on today. Annie had strongly been considering skipping visiting the bar -- not only could she no longer drink, but her morning sickness (which was, again, a really dumb term for 'vomiting any goddamn time of day, sometimes all day') had been really rough today, and she did not look her best. She, mostly, looked her...clammiest. Palest. Most 'I can't keep anything down and I have a headache'-est.

But. She was a good friend, damn it. And not only did she have a little news of her own to share (or confirm, really), but she also wanted to check on Summer. And maybe ask about some stuff on the radio. Maybe.

First, though, she was going to give the ambient smoke (or vapor?) a dirty look, followed by an immediate turn away from the specials board in obvious disgust. "Can I just have...a Sprite?"

Normal. Normal bar order, right here.

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"I'm still making virgin shots, too," Summer offered, as she dutifully set a Sprite down in front of Annie, although, with that look at the specials board, she had a feeling the interest would be half-hearted, if not just straight-up nonexistent.

"Why are you not home resting?"

Which was literally the nicest way she would ever tell anyone that they kiiiinda looked like shit at that moment.

There was so much for Steven and Annie to catch up on that Steven might have gotten right to it straightaway. But then he noticed she didn't seem to be looking well. So instead he opted to start with a small wave and look of concern.

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[stykera]

Annie was looking unwell and the squirrels had been so cagey about her of late and Summer had mentioned another apocalypse and so Stark was concerned.

But he was also still very unsure if Annie wanted anything to do with him so he was going to just offer a small wave and a concerned look as he came in.

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[stykera]

Stark gave Tino and a smoking drink in front of him a very curious look as he walked in.

"Why smoke?" he wondered though he didn't really expect an answer.

Then he turned his attention to Summer (though not too much attention), flashing a very quick smile before looking at the specials board.

"Hello, Summer. Tiny pie to start?"

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[somethingwithturquoise]

He received an answer, at least, in the form of Summer rolling her eyes and shaking her head, because that, she felt, at least, needed to be said, before she gave him a smile back, one maybe tinged with a bit more pink to it than usual.

"Hello, Stark." She nodded. "Tiny pie to start."

She set that tiny pie down with a sense of pride before adding, oh-so-casually, "How's it going?"

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven gave Stark a wave hello.

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[shireisburning]

"Summer!" Eddie greeted as he sat down at the bar. "How's it going?"

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Eddie," said Summer, grinning over at him as she headed over, looking fairly impressed. "Good to see you; feels like it's been a hot minute."

And it was definitely reminding her that all her talks with Nancy lately had highlighted that fact these past few weeks.

"What are we drinking tonight?"

Goose had been away on a mission the last few days, which had involved tracking an art smuggling gang and it turned out they’d been armed with paintball guns. He’d only just got back and decided to go straight to the bar.

So Goose was still in his uniform and covered in paint as he took his normal seat at the bar, “any chance I could get double shots?” he asked, looking over at the specials.

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer considered the heftier list of specials today, considered the way Goose looked, and considered just that it was Goose in general, and promptly started lining them up for him.

"Only if you tell me the story here," she stated, gesturing toward...well, he could probably figure it out.

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[drumsticksandd20s]

"Does the Caesar salad one come stabbed with 23 toothpicks?" Steph wanted to know as she sat down and her player got ready to run off to work.

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"It does now," Summer decided, figuring no one except Goose would order it anyway, so it's not like they'd run out of toothpicks. "We even have some of those fancy ones that look like swords.

"But, hey, Steph. How've you been? It's been a while."

Don't mind the brief musical cue from the band all of a sudden.

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[hasaknightjob]

Work schedules made it difficult for Steven to see Steph as often as he wished. So he was happy to give a wave hello when he spotted her.

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[pocketpretzels]

“Evening, Steph,” Watts greeted, lifting his wine glass in a salute hello.

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[stykera]

It had been some time since Stark saw Steph. She got a pleased smile, a pleased "hello, Steph," and a little wave from him.

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[hasaknightjob]

Steven was in a fairly good mood as he made it to the bar. He did look at the last item on the specials list with curiosity though.

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[pocketpretzels]

Shockingly, not far behind Steven was Watts, spinning down into his seat with his usual flourish.

“Good evening, Miss Smith.”

"Did you over-order on the dry ice?" Raiden asked, sympathetic but confused. Figuring out quantities as a business owner was hard, but you couldn't even eat dry ice.

Well. He probably could, if he put his mind to it and tried hard enough, but what would be the point?

Re: The Bar - 03/15.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Evening, Summer" Connor said as he walked up to the bar. "Going for a new smokey club vibe tonight?"

The Lounge - 03/15.

[somethingwithturquoise]

The excess smoke from the dry ice definitely gives it an interesting atmosphere.

The Back Room - 03/15.

[somethingwithturquoise]

No, the mechanical bull is not on fire.

...yet.

OOC - 03/15.
