Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

Tino was off today, and it was really quiet. But also it was really quiet.

Kitty was enjoying it. Look at her, getting work done and being all efficient. Look at her, actually being a little bored, something she would never admit.

[Open!]

After a full day of painting every inch of her cottage, Yelena found herself both bored and in desperate need of a drink.

She strolled into the bar, letting out a sigh as she took a seat. “Hello,” she said politely. “No jello shots today?”

[throughaphase]

"That's a Summer thing," Kitty told her. "I can however make fun drinks and also serve beers."

Everyone siesta got beers.

[the_best_sister]

"Now that I can go for," Yelena said settling in. "I'll take something fun and make it a double. I'm Yelena, soon to be a frequent customer."

[throughaphase]

"I'm Kitty, big fan of frequent customers," she smiled. "How do you feel about lemon drops?"

[the_best_sister]

"Never had one but I'm a fan of lemons," Yelena said, eager to try something new. "Let's have it."

[throughaphase]

"On it," she said, starting on the drink. "I'm guessing you're new?"

[the_best_sister]

"New," She confirmed. "And apparently stuck here for the forseeable future. But you know what? I'm rolling with it. I'm flexible."

She might be trying to convince herself of that. Don't worry, the alcohol will help.

"How about you? Been here for a while?"

[throughaphase]

"So long. So, so long." Don't ask, everyone will feel old. Long enough to know the town and be reassuring about being stuck here."

[the_best_sister]

"Oh really?" Yelena said leaning on the bar, chin on her hand. "Willingly or did you get stuck here too?"

Well, Logan was going to just man up and go see Kitty. Which was fine. It was all fine.

Which was why he was just quietly slipping on in to take a seat.

[throughaphase]

"Hey," she greeted him, surprised. "Wasn't sure I'd see you in here."

[theworst_verine]

Why? Because he'd gotten so, so weird? Pfff. No big.

"Zombies are a little much," he replied, just not acknowledging shit about shit.

[throughaphase]

"They are, but they were here before me and their fourth album isn't bad," she said. "Beer, or something else?"

[theworst_verine]

"Beer's fine." Look at him being good!

Even as he eyed the band suspiciously.

[throughaphase]

She got him one, set it down in front of him, and asked, "How was the first week?"

[theworst_verine]

"I haven't been stabbed or shot, so it's not the worst," Logan said, taking a long pull off the beer.

Such high praise for the place!

[throughaphase]

"I should probably tell you that that happens pretty rarely here," Kitty said. "The odds are not zero, but pretty rarely."

[theworst_verine]

"Yeah?" Tell him more!

[the_best_sister]

Oh, Logan. How can you show up in the same place and not expect to get hassled by Yelena?

"Hey Bestie!" Yelena said with a wide smile. "Fancy meeting you here."

[theworst_verine]

He was here to see Kitty and definitely not be weird!

"Are you just stalking me?"

Logan, Yelena pinged in first. Stop being such a baby.

[the_best_sister]

"Yes, because I can't get enough grumpy behavior in my life," Yelena snarked back. "So much so I got here before you."

[theworst_verine]

"I don't know your life." But it did seem like something people enjoyed doing to him. So.

[the_best_sister]

"But I know yours because I'm a stalker," Yelena said with a smirk. "In a minute you're going to tell me to fuck off and I'll order you a drink."

Look, say what you will about Yelena, but at least she's less likely to stab you with a baby knife.

[theworst_verine]

But baby knife!

"So you'll just be buying me a drink to skip that first part."

[the_best_sister]

"Nah, we have to respect the sacred timeline the flow," Yelena said shaking her head. "Action and reaction and all that bullshit."
