Caritas; Wednesday [05/24].

[somethingwithturquoise]

When Summer came into the bar that evening for her shift, the zombie band, Tino, and the mechanical bull in the back room were all covered in silly string.

No, she was absolutely not going to ask.

Which meant Tino would be pouting at her the whole night, because he very clearly wanted her to ask, but that just solidified her conviction that the best thing she could possibly do right now is never, ever ask.

She thought about putting up a sign, even, requesting that her patrons also not ask, but she figured that would only inspire them all to ask.

Just don't do it, guys. Make smart choices.

The silly string is clearly not hindering the band's performance abilities.

The Bar - 05/24.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Tino clearly wants you to ask about the silly string. Summer will side-eye you so hard if you do, though.

Steven came by Caritas a little later than his usual but there all the same. He studied the list of shots thoughtfully.

“Hello, y-“ Watts began as he spotted Steven. Unfortunately, his greeting was cut short as he lost his balance- perhaps due to slipping on some errant pieces of silly string- and was sent careening in Steven’s general direction.

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

Steven's attempt at a similar greeting was cut short by the stumble. He quickly tried to catch Llewellyn before he fell. Not as quickly or deftly as if he'd been in the suit, but a good attempt for his human limitations regardless.

"Llew! Are you all right?"

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[pocketpretzels]

And successful, too! At least, he’d managed to keep Watts from completely falling over.

“Aside from my dignity.”

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[hasaknightjob]

"Oh dear," Steven said, sympathetically. He brushed off Llewellyn's coat even though it didn't strictly need it. "How can I help you feel better?"

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[pocketpretzels]

“I’ve an idea or two in mind,” Watts said. “Though they cannot be immediately put into action.”

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Hiiiiiii, Steven!" Summer sang out when she drifted over to his spot at the bar. "The usual?"

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[hasaknightjob]

"Yes, please," Steven said. He smiled at her. "You seem chipper today. Having a good night?"

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"A lot better night than I was having this time last week, anyway," Summer said with a faint grin. "And assuming Anakin wasn't a dirty, lying double crosser who broke his promises, anyway it was presumably maybe who even knoooows nice to actually get to go to the Wednesday activities this week."

She poured the pint, that was the easy part, and set it in front of Steven, and then quirked a speculative brow at him.

"Now," she said, "here's the real question: when there's two vegan shots, does that mean going broke for both, or just stick to one?"

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[hasaknightjob]

"Just the one I think," Steven said, since unlike Marc he was a lightweight. "But I was wondering which one to try. The lemon looks refreshing but the bean sounds interesting. Don't think I've had anything like that before. Not as a jelly."

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[pocketpretzels]

“Good evening, Miss Smith,” Watts greeted. As was to be expected when it came to him, he did not ask about the silly string.

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[somethingwithturquoise]

And that was definitely something Summer would greatly appreciate about Watts, yes.

"Good evening, Detective Watts," she chirped right back with a smile and almost an eagerness to see what sort of dumb wine specification he had this time around. "What can we get for you tonight?"

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[pocketpretzels]

“Siegerrebe. Chaberton Estate, if you please.”

Yes, a white wine tonight.

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Don't let the dry look Summer was giving you fool you, Watts. She was actually very amused and very appreciative of the challenge, but still...

A brow lifted.

"Could you maybe spell that one for me, maybe?" she asked, with the tone of someone who just might be suggesting he could have totally just made that word up.

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[pocketpretzels]

Watts stared back at her for a beat or two, perhaps contemplating if she was serious in her request.

Apparently deciding that she must be, Watts dutifully rattled off the spelling of that particular varietal.

Stark had gone home after Anakin's nonsense in the park and showered. Very thoroughly. And he'd cleaned his mask off very thoroughly as well. He didn't want any of what had been on that pole to remain on his person.

"Did you enjoy yourself in the park?" he asked when he approached the bar. "Hello, Summer."

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Yeah, anyone coming in here after that without cleaning up first was putting themselves at risk of getting the boot, and this would be especially true if it was--

--wait, no, she was taking that back. Summer could definitely imagine a scenario where Stark coming in all gross and greasy from the shenanigans would be acceptable, or, rather, what followed afterwards would be.

So it was that thought behind the smile on Summer's face when she greeted him back.

"Hello, Stark," she said, and then she began preening, just a little.

Or a lot. "And I did. It was nice, getting to actually go down there and participate again."

Would she have said the same thing if she hadn't made it across the pole? Who knows! This dimension would never truly know, because she fucking did make it across, mother fuckers! BOO YAH.

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[stykera]

Perhaps there could be a cleaning up collaboration after a future shenanigan? Stark would be into it.

"It was good to see you there. Especially when you made it all the way across. You were very impressive."

Not that he didn't always think that, but still.

"Should we have jello to celebrate your success?"

He'd even try the bean one that he didn't know what it was!

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Thank you," said Summer, the preening increasing just a little bit more, because she had done well, goddammit, and even though she was half-suspecting that Anakin was luring her into some sense of false security to still spring a pool on her once she'd convinced herself that he wouldn't, she was feeling pretty good about it. "That was pretty good, wasn't it? Maybe it's all that working out I've been doing. But yes."

And here she started to set out the shots for Stark.

"We should celebrate."

Re: The Bar - 05/24.

[stykera]

"I saw you at the gym yesterday too," Stark said. "Maybe it was all the working out."

"Which jello are you having? To celebrate?"

And was it the weird bean one?

The Lounge - 05/24.

[somethingwithturquoise]

You might have to clear some silly string from the tables, though. Or just drink around it.

The Back Room - 05/24.

[somethingwithturquoise]

The ring of silly string circling the floor around the stripper pole might suggest that an Attempt Was Made.
