Caritas; Wednesday [10/11].

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Pfft, pllah, pffft!"

Summer, shaking her head, tried to desperately brush the threads of spiderwebs off her face and off of her trays of jello shots as she came in and discovered the hard way that Tino did not, in fact, take Kitty's criticism about putting spiderwebs over the doorways to heart.

"Like," she said, "the back room, I understand, but the main door, Tino? How are people supposed to come in?"

Which was where he pointed out that, based on the numbers she'd been pulling these last few weeks, he didn't think that would be a problem.

"Wow, okay, harsh."

But, like, okay, true, but she wasn't going to let him have that one. She was just going to send him into the stock room to look for something she knew they didn't have, which would give her enough time to cover the door with spider webs to see how he liked it.

Which was why Tino, who apparently was into it, was now wearing spiderwebs the whole night.

The Stage - 10/11.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Look, who knows, maybe someone eventually will get on here and do some karaoke, it's possible! Or maybe just help get all those spider webs off those poor zombies.

Re: The Stage - 10/11.

Someone would, yeah. At least, if a certain ex-bartender felt a certain kind of way, and he did, tonight. Had all week, if Atton was honest with himself, which he didn't like to do; the... warmth... of his time in New York last weekend had been good, and then sad, and then something else entirely. Then Lana had gotten into the Revan of it all, and he just...

He felt a need to do a cover song or two, somewhere his new friends couldn't hear him.

So he got up on stage before he bothered to go to the bar. Got the zombies going, clutched the microphone behind his hands, and let the moodiness of his voice do the work.

"Well I dreamed that I was running, through a wilderness of plenty
And I could hear the hunt behind me, getting closer, getting closer
And I knew that the end was coming and I wished that it was over
Bring me the snowfall, bring me the cold wind, bring me the winter..."

It was good for him, to be in his feelings like this for a moment. Let it out. Always had been, really, whenever he'd gotten up on the Caritas stage back when he worked here, during the quiet hours. He just hadn't been able to admit it.

"... For I fear the age of consequence and I wish that it was over ..."

The Bar - 10/11.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer refuses any responsibility for any fake spiderwebs that may end up in your drinks.

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

[suitably_heroic]

"You happen to have an alcohol-free version of that cocktail?" Atton asked, sitting down at the bar after he'd gotten his feels out.

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"I could definitely whip something up like that for you, yeah," said Summer, taking a moment to think about it, and then nodded, already reaching for the syrup to get started, and offering over a smile. "How's it going, Atton? Good to see drop in."

Good to see anyone drop in these days, really.

Excuse Summer a moment as she was distracted by a rimshot from the stage that she was going to convince herself was just random and not a worrying new thought that the zombies might be psychic.

That would explain their extensive music catal--nope, not even going there, just mixing a nice drink now, and that was all there was going to be to that train of thought.

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

[suitably_heroic]

"Don't think about the zombies," Atton advised her. "I find it helps me sleep at night."

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

Anakin gave him a lazy wave from where he was seated.

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

"I didn't know you sang," Stark said.

All he knew was that he had a class that was determined to not allow any answers to ever be enough. Which made sense, given the subject.

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

"You know, I think you might be the first person I've ever seen use that stage," Nancy noted, lifting her drink in a little salute to Atton lest he mistake that comment for anything other than an admiration of his bravery.

Like, karaoke aside, Nancy still wasn't real sure about the zombies.

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

Stark had spent most of his day watching interdimensional cable on Summer's couch and trying to get hints about what jello might be on offer this evening.

"Hello, Summer," he said, smiling softly. "Can I see the jello now?"

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Hello, Stark."

And that would be Summer now backing up to the specials board and putting a hand up to cover the list of jello specials as best it could which, really, wasn't that much at all.

"Nope."

Come on, he practically walked right into that one.

"Okay... I think I liked the apple thing over this," Jane said, sputtering and pulling fake spiderweb out of her hair.

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Right?" said Summer, emphatically. "At least the apple thing only stuck with you psychologically, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be pulling webbing out of my hair until December now..."

And Jane was given an exasperated look that only those who worked with Tino could truly understand, which meant there was some gratitude in there, too, for the fact that, thank god, someone truly understood.

"But, hey, Jane. How's it going? And what can I get for you that hopefully will not end up covered in spiderwebs?"

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

[stykera]

"It's very sticky," Stark said. "One advantage, I think, to shaving my head. Hello, Jane."

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

[no_culdesac]

"Hey, sorry, can you tell me -- do I have like, spiderwebs in my hair still?" Nancy asked Jane, a little awkward and shy as she shifted around to show Jane where she, indeed, had a bunch of spiderweb caught on the back of her head. "I can't tell."

The untold consequences of perming on display here, people.

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

[no_culdesac]

"Did you guys do this on purpose?" Nancy demanded, a spiderweb still stubbornly clinging atop of her curls despite her better efforts to shed them all as she took an indignant seat at the bar. "It's, like, way too much, for the record."

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Oh, no, that hair was going to be a magnet for these webs, R.I.P. Nancy!

Summer was a little wide-eyed at that realization and watching it pretty much happen in real time and she shook her head. "Totally and completely, one-hundo-percent that guy," she promised, hitching a thumb toward Tino in case Nancy needed help knowing who to blame, "and yeah, way too much is pretty much his M.O."

Her expression then turned slightly apologetic as she offered, "Get you a drink, though, to make it slightly better?"

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

[sith_happened]

"What's a bushwhacker?" Anakin asked.

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer eyed Anakin thoughtfully.

"What are the odds," she wondered, "of you promising to at least try it, then I'll tell you?"

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

[stykera]

"Anakin." Stark nodded to his friend frenemy friend. "How are you?"

Stark himself was still looking a bit worse for wear but certainly better than he had been earlier in the week.

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

[needsacatchphrase]

"You cheated to avoid the webs, didn't you?" It was like you'd met him more than once or something, Jane!

Re: The Bar - 10/11.

[no_culdesac]

It took a little bit -- and maybe some of her paloma -- before Nancy finally actually said what she'd been thinking since she'd spotted Anakin.

"I kinda want to ask you for a product list," she sighed, eyes on his spiderweb-free -- but also, importantly, curly and luxuriant -- hair.

And then, in an acknowledgement of Anakin's advanced age and the fact she was pretty sure he was, like, in charge of the school, she added, "If that's not weird. Sir."

The Lounge - 10/11.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Of course the tables are covered in spider webs, what did you expect?

The Back Room - 10/11.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Maybe the spiderwebs will help maintain a longer time on the mechanical bull? Who knows?

OOC - 10/11.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Why, yes, I know I did not once maintain a consistent usage of "spiderweb" versus "spider web" this entire post, deal with it.
