Caritas; Wednesday [03/06].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer was always just a little worried, after coming back from a school trip, about what kind of Tino she would be getting on Wednesday, but if anyone was worried that the kind of Tino would be a normal and not terrible one, they could rest assured that he was just as weird and awful as ever.

But this time, it was in a way that Summer almost respected, because it was clearly tapping from her wheelhouse. And she wasn't going to admit that she found it fascinating and intriguing, but there was a part of her that felt...well...almost a little proud?

Because today, Tino was putting sausages on the ends of various bottles of whiskey and proudly showing her how they could now function as jiggers, so if you poured a shot, you poured it through the sausage to infuse said whiskey with a nice hint of sausage.

Don't get her wrong; it was terrible. But it was the kind of terrible that she almost wish she'd have thought of it herself.

The Stage - 03/06.

[somethingwithturquoise]

You know what to do! Get up there and sing something, dammit!

You know what, strictly speaking, Atton had already gotten his fill of karaoke in class today. Buuuut...

Well, Caritas had a different audience, right?

Atton cleared his throat. "Let's cheer it up a little today," he said. The upside of having an actual band for karaoke here? Adjusting songs for a lower pitch. "Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated
If I would feel better just slightly sedated
A feeling comes so fast and I cannot control it
I'm on fire, but I'm trying not to show it

As it picks me up, puts me down
It picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, puts me down
A hundred times a day
It picks me up, puts me down
It chews me up, spits me out
Picks me up, puts me down

I'm always running from something
I push it back, but it keeps on coming
And being clever never got me very far
Because it's all in my head
And 'You're too sensitive', they said
I said, 'Okay, but let's discuss this at the hospital'...."

The Bar - 03/06.

Hopefully, you're not too put off by the smell of sausages!

"Sausages?" Stark asked. He wasn't asking Tino. He knew better.

"Hello, Summer." He smiled softly as he slid onto his usual stool at the bar. "You made the guacamole."

He hadn't doubted, really.

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Sausages," Summer confirmed, with a shake of her head and a disparaging look toward Tino like she, with what she was going to say next, had any room to talk.

"And," she announced, now preening oh-so-proudly of herself as she took a bowl of tortilla chips and set it in front of Stark, "I even brought chips if anyone wanted the full guacamole jello shot experience, too!"

Weren't you just so excited, Stark??

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[stykera]

"Do the chips go onto or into the guacamole jello," Stark asked, "or does the guacamole jello go onto the chips?"

He was all-in here. He'd agreed, mostly, yesterday in class.

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"I was thinking," said Summer, plucking out a chip and then plucking up a guacamole shot, and holding them up, demonstrating as she explained, "the ideal way to do it would be to just plop the guac on the chip," plop was an excellent choice for what the jello shot then did, and then it wiggled a little as Summer held it out to hand to Stark, "and eat it like that, but, it's your shot, Stark, you eat it however you feel is best."

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[stykera]

"I think not eating it would be best," Stark admitted, but he was grinning. "But I'll take your recommendation."

In fact he was going to lean forward to attempt to bite the chip in Summer's hand.

"Hey Stark. I was hoping I'd find you here."

He'd known he'd find him here. Stark was very predictable.

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[stykera]

Stark was extremely predictable on Wednesdays.

"Hello, Travis." An easy smile and a nod accompanied the words. "Did you need me? Or just wanted to say hello? It's always good to see you."

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[designateddadfriend]

"Saying hi," Travis said. "I'm going to head home for a bit starting this weekend. And, well . . . we don't hang out that much anymore, but I still thought you might appreciate a heads up."

He knew how Stark felt about being abandoned.

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[stykera]

Stark did not feel great about people disappearing from his life. That was true.

"Is everything all right?" He asked, frowning.

"I never thought I'd think of the island as luxury accomodations, but after last week, I'm beginning to feel it," Atton commented, sitting down.

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"I told you so!" Summer had been itching to almost track Atton down in the park herself, but the timing just never worked out, so she was pleased as hell he was opening with that to give her the opportunity now. "But, yeah, no, I'm pretty sure that's got to be the most 'glad to be back from that vacation!' this island has probably seen in a while!"

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[suitably_heroic]

"Look, I just hadn't left the hotel the first time you asked, okay?" Atton groused good-naturedly. "Definite Nar Shaddaa vibes in a few places. Not all in the bad way, but still, glad to be back somewhere that has an actual health code."

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer gave a pointed glance over to Tino, who was still fitting sausages over the tops of whiskey bottles.

"Ish," she said. "But anyway, what can I get you tonight, Atton? May I firmly not recommend anything with whiskey?"

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[suitably_heroic]

"... Yeah, I'd already made that decision for myself," Atton said, eyeing Tino suspiciously. "Uh, I'll just have another one of those fancy sodas. How was the rest of your disaster trip? Didn't see much of you after the party."

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[designateddadfriend]

". . . Well, sausage is ruined for me forever," Travis said as he sat down.

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Ohgod," said Summer, "there is a joke I want to make in response to that so badly, but I am choosing to not be terrible. You're welcome."

Then she gave him a smile. "Hey, Travis. Good to have visual confirmation that you're still alive. What can I get for you?"

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[designateddadfriend]

"Your kindness is appreciated," Travis said with a chuckle. "What's the Lion and the Lamb?"

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Bourbon, orgeat, and allspice dram with a splash of lime and bitters," Summer offered. "Kind of a bit of spice and citrus, you know, a little nutty, bourbon from a bottle promised to have not been anywhere near Tino and his sausages, as well."

Re: The Bar - 03/06.

[designateddadfriend]

"I'll try one of those, then," Travis said. "Nothing sells a cocktail like it not getting near Tino's sausage."

The Lounge - 03/06.

[somethingwithturquoise]

But, if you are, there's always the lounge. Tino's sausage-inspo hasn't spread out to the tables yet, thankfully.

The Back Room - 03/06.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Don't confuse the sausages for darts. Or, actually, do, that would be funny to watch.

OOC - 03/06.

[somethingwithturquoise]

This post is inspired by an actual conversation I had in real life.

Yes, the sausage jiggers were my idea in this conversation.
