Caritas, Saturday - After Three Minute Dates

[needsacatchphrase]

Well, there was still a poorly written banner up, but it now just said "HAVE GOOD BAN" which Jane wasn't touching because Tino was sulking at having it ruined. But other than that, the bar was good and open for anyone who needed to drink away their sorrows, celebrate a new connection, or maybe do a little people watching.

Jane enjoyed the people watching part the most on nights like this.

The Stage

[needsacatchphrase]

Where the zombies were playing just a lot of romantic music.

The Bar

[needsacatchphrase]

Where you can get a drink from Jane or brave Tino. He worked so hard on that banner. Two whole minutes, guys.

Rey could stand to stick around a little, even if it just meant talking to Jane.

"You got away with not doing it?" she asked.

Re: The Bar

[needsacatchphrase]

"Tino knows better than to try to sign me up," Jane said, maybe a little too confidently. "Plus the odds of getting my ex are a little too high."

An empty glass was being placed in front of her on the bar. Adrian had promised her a drink but had no idea what she drank and rather than guess, figured it was much better to send the glass instead.

Logan? Definitely having a very large drink at the end of the bar and not exactly looking like he wanted company. Which didn't really mean much in his life. So, there was that.

Just no one kidnap him for a manic, pixie dream girl quest or anything. Been there, done that.

There was a drop off of a drink from Tino with a note that said:

No “Fuck off!” Required.

Sometimes even Yelena knew when not to poke the bear.

While they had not participated, Liliana and Ignis had come to the bar to reminisce a bit. If you were looking for an example of how an unexpected 3MD match could work out, look no further than the two of them. Hmm, at some point one of them (Ignis) would have to do something nice for Kitty as a thank you.

Until then, however, Liliana was happy to lounge here, expression one of a very pleased cat that ate the canary and had two more under her claws, dressed in something a little more Earth-standard, a You Make Me Blush in hand, enjoying the ambience of something, well, approaching an anniversary observance.

Re: The Bar

Ah, but Liliana. If doing something nice for Kitty as a thank you was called for, then that opened the door to also doing something nice for the man who ensured Ignis had even arrived at all that fateful evening, a situation that he had, foolishly, been staunchly against.

Ah, well. Just add it to the pile of things he owed to the man, and be grateful that, when it came to that sort of thing, they did tend to be relatively evenly matched.

Ignis himself had opted for just a simple wine that evening, grateful that Tino had not picked up on Summer's usual game of 'let's pick a random wine to see if it passes Ignis' approval' and agreed to just give him a dry Argentinian red.

And he had to admit, it was a little surreal, thinking that it was a night like this, just shy of a year ago, that walking into this bar had changed the trajectory of his life...forever. So it was probably no surprise that his arm had found itself around Liliana's waist for most of the evening while his other hand held his wine, just sort of basking in that rare feeling of nostalgia being a good thing, for once.

Yelena settled in at the bar and gave the bartender a polite smile. “I heard that Kitty has the good vodka stashed someplace?”

Re: The Bar

[needsacatchphrase]

"Did she?" Jane asked. "I didn't know we had good vodka."

Mostly because she was a sweet cocktail kind of gal.

"And here I was trying not to fall for Russian stereotypes," Adrian teased.

Re: The Bar

[stykera]

Jane was quite lovely but Stark would not be leaning across the bar to kiss the bartender tonight before ordering a drink. He was just going to say "hello, Jane" instead.

Re: The Bar

[needsacatchphrase]

That would be awkward all across the board for sure.

"Hi, Stark," Jane replied with a quick grin. "Did you enjoy the dates?"

Re: The Bar

[x_wondrous_x]

Stewart told himself he should probably just leave. This whole endeavor had reminded him of why he'd shunned the speed dating event they'd done in Letterkenny oh-so-many seasons ago. But, at the same time, he had come all the way here, and to leave after just fifteen minutes without even a drink....

And so he'd be sidling up to the bar, to nurse a beer, just to make it feel like there had been some sort of point to the evening. Definitely not out of any sort of interest in testing any claims made over the course of the event, and he was also perhaps sizing up the zombie band and if anyone asked, he was clearly just thinking about his DJing.

Re: The Bar

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

Oh look! Someone else brooding. The wise thing would be to leave Stewart to brood in peace and continue to do the same, but it wasn't like she'd gotten to talk to any of her friends during the event.

"Stewart," she said, settling next to him and following his gaze. "Enjoying the dulcet tones of Unchained Melody for the however manyth time?"

Re: The Bar

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Were all your conversations pointless?" Belle asked as she walked up to the bar.

"Or did you find some meaning in it all?"

Re: The Bar

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

Well, that had happened. Arden was just gonna grab herself another Coke and lime and brood a little bit about how that had not gone the way she'd been hoping.

Re: The Bar

[witchoftheflesh]

It had been a good time overall, good enough that Adrian decided to stay for a little while longer, at least long enough to finish the drink he'd gotten in the last round. His social meter was running a bit low, but he figured he had at least a few more conversations in him before he headed back into the comfort of the woods for a few days.

After the dates, Thor left the bar and walked down the street a block or so before swapping places with Don (oh, look at that, another random lightning strike).

He was then a little bit surprised when Don turned around and walked right back into Caritas rather than continuing on to the Tower. "I need to talk to Jane about our class," Don explained under his breath as he sat down.

And maybe some other people, too. Probably not about his class but who knew?

Re: The Bar

[singlenakedwhat]

Despite her usual less-than-social tendencies Henry felt weird skipping out directly following the 'dates', but she wasn't one for alcohol. So instead she was sipping contemplatively on a glass of Coke and doodling on a napkin.

The Lounge

If you wanted to take your date somewhere a little more private.

If you wanted to take your date a lot more private.

Jane slipped out from behind the bar where Tino was angrily cleaning up the broken bottle she'd left there. Because there was a discussion to have here!

"Well?"
