Caritas- NYE party!

It was New Year's Eve, and Caritas was decked out for the holidays. The bar itself was decorated with silver fringe, there were gold, black and white balloons arranged in corners (so anyone trying to hide either couldn't, or they could really hide), silver and gold garland hung from the ceiling, and Tino had even dressed up. Meaning he was wearing a short sleeved t-shirt that looked like a tuxedo. It was the thought that counted.

The zombie band was playing the hits, the bass player dressed in a dashing red velvet jacket for some reason, and Kitty had had fun with the specials for the night.

SPECIALS
Dumpster Fire
Yule Mule
Baltimore Egg Nog
Whiskey Shamash
25th Hour
Fergeue Fruerzangble FuerahsksdahdsadhasjdhWTF Flaming Sugarloaf Wine Thing


Kitty stared at Tino when she saw that last one added. "There's a USB-powered menorah because fire and drunk people is a bad combination and you decided to do this?"

Anyway. There was also a very easily accessible fire extinguisher on top of the bar if needed. Don't let it be needed.

"No pink tonight?" Dean asked with a grin as he approached Summer. "Don't get me wrong kid, it looks great. I'm just shocked by the color change."

That kid was getting even more of a lift of Summer's eyebrow than the fact that Dean was apparently the one discovering for the first time tonight that other colors existed, but then she just snorted and shook her head.

"You honestly expect me to be that predictable?" Her hair was done up so she couldn't toss it over her shoulders, but the general vibe was there with the roll of her eyes. "Please. But thank you, I know it looks great."

She was deciding on whether or not to comment on his fashion choices, but she just had to ask.

"Are those jeans at least clean?"

"Uh, first of all, yes. They are clean. I mean it's a fair question but they are clean," Dean replied with an amused expression.

The last pair of jeans he wore two days in a row. And he probably would have worn them today if it wasn't New Year's Eve.

"And also to be fair, I don't think there's a time when I haven't seen you wear pink. It's a surprise but definitely a nice one."

"Well," Summer snorted, "I'm sure we're all honored you didn't just pick up whatever ones were just closest to you on the floor, then. And now you have me trying to go back over my last fifteen outfits to see if there wasn't a pink one among them, but, like, I'm pretty sure I can just pull up my Insta and prove you wrong in, like, two seconds, but it doesn't matter. I embrace all the colors, it's just pink happens to be my favorite."

He scoffed. "It's not always the one closest to me. Sometimes it's the one that still has the belt in it."

Dean then held up his hands in a conciliatory gesture. "Hey, I'm not saying you have other color choices or have worn others. It's just my memory always has you in pink. How about as an apology I buy you a drink. Would you prefer flammable or non-flammable?"
somethingwithturquoise: (simple listening)

Summer took a very unnecessary moment to look over at who would be serving the flammable drink.

"Non-flammable," she concluded, very easily, and was absolutely not going to point out that there was nothing to apologize for, because, hello? Free drink? But, like, associating her with mostly pink was the goal, it was working exactly as designed.

"Baltimore Egg Nog it is," Dean decided with him waving down Tino. "Dairy and booze. Nothing better."

"Ohmygoooooood, noooooo!" said Summer, realizing another mistake as her eyes went wide and she moved to intercept. "Tino! Don't listen to him! Just get me something pink and fruity!"

She saw Tino turn toward some red Solo cups.

"Not a Summer Smith!" she amended, because, ohmygod, she was not seventeen anymore, thank you very much.

“Wait! What’s a Summer Smith drink?” Dean asked looking suddenly very interested.
