Caritas; Wednesday [12/04].

[somethingwithturquoise]

When Summer came into the bar that afternoon to get ready for her shift, she frowned and started sniffing the air. Like, it would be one thing if the place smelled like pine or peppermint or cinnamon or whatever other Christmassy smells. Hell, even latkas, since those were everywhere today. But fried chicken?

Was she going crazy? Had a zombie caught on fire? Was she having a stroke? Or even worse...what have you done, Tino?

"Tino," she said, realizing that this was the most likely source of this mystery, "what have you done?"

Found a while bunch of KFC fire logs, apparently, and started burning them in a makeshift fireplace in the bar, that's what!

And the most upsetting part of all of this? Was that Summer didn't even know those existed until just now. Tragic!

Well, apparently someone had been moose-napped, which was hilarious. Which meant that someone else had to take a portal and visit the island herself. Because sometimes laughing at your boyfriend couldn't wait until you got home.

The zombies on the stage got a bit of a flinch and Ronin growled at them, but Kathy deliberately turned her head and kept walking.

"Wow," she said, looking around. "I know like...nobody in here." Except Tino, who, wow really never changed. And "...Summer?"

"....yeah, woooooooow, Kathy," Summer said. "Good to know I'm relegated to all the nobodies you don't know. I know it's been a while, but damn. Harsh."

She was....mostly....joking!

"Nononono!" Kathy sputtered, proving that some things really never did change. "I was glad to see you! Because for a second I thought the only person I was going to recognize here was Tino and--" She was going to stop right there, even more chagrined, because it was Tino. "That was a '...Summer?' of 'wait, is that actually her?' with rising enthusiasm! Honest!"

"I know." Summer gave her a small, apologetic sort of smile. "I'm just fucking with you, Kathy."

Mostly.

"It is pretty cool to see you, though," she added. "How've you been? What have you been up to? I'd ask how long it's actually been, but I really do not need or want to know the answer to that question."

You couldn't do that to someone with anxiety, Summer!

Kathy pressed her hand against her heart. "Gonna give me agita," she scolded lightly, but looking much relieved. "And don't worry, I absolutely wasn't going to try to figure out that length of time. I'm not yet emotionally ready to contemplate the end of the month, even." She took a seat. "Can I get a round of jello shots and a bowl of water? Bowl's for my dog, just to be up front about it. As for me, mostly just finishing up school, hunting demons with Dante, stopping the occasional end of the world..." She decided to skip over mentioning her continued employment with Barry. "Sometimes helping out Dad, Hardison, and Aunt Parker with their Leverage, Inc stuff. Your typical post-Fandom graduate experience, you know?"

Not that Kathy had graduated, being dead at the time. Details.

"How about you? Still have your space...restaurant? I think it was?"
