Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

Ah, the one week Kitty very much did not want to be at work. And especially did not want to be at work around Tino.

He was being pretty normal today (for him), aside from clearly getting a hold of the specials board to be a 12-year-old, apparently intent on making more for Saturday's dates. Kitty wasn't getting into it but she did add a note because she wasn't dealing with it.

SPECIALS
Sex on the Beach
Panty Dropper
Blow Job shot but you have to ask Tino for it

Now to just get through the shift.

[Open!]

"Hello Katarina Kitty Pryde-Barton!" Yelena called out as she entered the bar. "I come for booze and good conversation."

She then looked at the specials and raised an eyebrow at it.

"I am not asking Tino for anything."

[throughaphase]

"Good call. I actually recommend not looking at him altogether," Kitty warned.

[the_best_sister]

"Ignoring Tino has become a habit. Why? is he wearing a costume today?" Yelena asked. "See? I'm so good at ignoring him I don't even notice him."

[throughaphase]

"You're so lucky," Kitty said. "He gets extra irritating during pollen week, I swear. I'd hate to think of what costume he'd oh god now I'm thinking about it."

[the_best_sister]

Yelena's brows furrowed in confusion. "Pollen week? Does he dress up like antihistamine tablets or something?"

[throughaphase]

Kitty peered at her. "Are you immune?"

[the_best_sister]

Yelena peered back. "To Tino?"

[throughaphase]

"To the... constant horniness?"

Really no other way to put it!

[the_best_sister]

Yelena's eyes narrowed and her voice dropped. "How did you know about that?"

[throughaphase]

Was it bad that that reaction was a relief?

"It happens pretty much every year, welcome to Fandom."

[the_best_sister]

"Oh, that explains so much," Yelena muttered, and then a look of horror crossed her face.

"This is the pollen's fault. Not Tino's," she clarified.

Honestly, removing Tino was not a problem in Yelena's mind.

[throughaphase]

"He's to blame for a lot, but not that. Hopefully."

Ugh.

[the_best_sister]

Yelena side-eyed Tino and immediately regretted it. "I'm going to need alcohol. For my eyes."

[throughaphase]

"I can provide the alcohol. What you do with it is your own business."

She didn't even know why that sounded dirty but uh kind of did.

[the_best_sister]

It was that kind of week, obviously.

"Hmm. Do you have anything that wipes your memory other than exceptional amounts?"

[throughaphase]

"My answer for that is totally straight tequila but I'd be really careful about that this week. Could I interest you in a Sex on the Beach?"

She did that one on purpose.

[the_best_sister]

Yelena pretended to gasp in shock. "What would Clint say?"

[throughaphase]

"It's not the week to ask that question."

Hi, Irene.

[the_best_sister]

"Excellent point. I'll take a panty dropper and a ten foot pole to fend off anyone I don't want coming near me."

[throughaphase]

"Ooh, I should invest in poles."

Because you know what she had? A stripper pole in the back.

[the_best_sister]

This was not the time to bring up the stripper pole into the conversation, Kitty. Keep it in the narrative.

"Short term market," Yelena pointed out. "Probably have to use PVC."

[throughaphase]

"I'd want quality poles."

...

Kitty was just gonna focus on that Panty Dropper.

[the_best_sister]

"... Ten feet long?"

[throughaphase]

"I want to say that'd be really uncomfortable." Help. Her brain.

[the_best_sister]

...

"So. How about this weather we're having?"

Take the conversation shift, Kitty. Take it.

[throughaphase]

"It's good and cold!" Kitty said immediately, passing over her drink. "Very important to bundle up."
