Caritas; Wednesday [04/16].
So Summer had turned back to herself from being a squirrel that morning, and thankfully, it had very conveniently happened while Stark was off doing radio, which meant that she was spared at least a little bit of awkwardness, of the kind that had nothing to do with the usual things that made this animal transformation bullshit so obnoxious. Honestly, in a way, she was kind of grateful for the timing, even if it had taken its sweet time making it happen the night of, but it gave Summer some time to think about things, actually.
Unfortunately, now that she was human again, she had to actually do something about those thoughts. It was enough to make her want to take a quick jump home and start poking through Rick's stuff to see if he had anything to make being a squirrel a little more perminant, tbh.
Anything to avoid having to confront what she'd been staring down the barrel of before she turned.
(Which was the root of the problem, though, wasn't it, Summer??)
Whatever. She was going to put it off as long as she could, all the same, and Stark doing radio while she change was perfect for that because she could just send him a quick text letting him know she was back, but, hey, it was Wednesday, she really needed to get her jello started! And that meant she could spend the rest of the day groaning and swearing and commisserating and probably drinking, let's be real, without the pressure of keeping anyone else's dumb, stupid feelings in mind.
(She did apologize to Pancakes, though, but also, like, how was Summer supposed to know that she was going to be in the path of whatever she was throwing at the time? Come on.)
Either way, she was herself, venting while making jello had....sort of helped, and she was now sulking behind the bar a little as she got ready for her shift, and trying to figure out just what she was going to do about things now that she no longer had the comfort of just being a squirrel as an excuse.

Re: The Bar - 04/16.
i literally would rather gouge my intestines out with a plastic spoon and a pair of rusty tweezers than to even begin to think about that some questions are best left way unanswered
And unasked
Festival logistics tho! 1000 x better topic omg

You could probably already picture her rubbing her hands together and cackling gleefully, Jack! She wasn't, not actually, because she was holding her phone and texting, but, you know, the spirit was there. The vibe.
Re: The Bar - 04/16.
Oozing, more likely.
and fandom or not you should come hang out some of these probs have the kinda stuff ur into too.
Re: The Bar - 04/16.
i do have to admit that my musical repertoire has expanded greatly in the last year. i didnt even tell you, i got a metallica reference a few weeks ago! dean was trying to pretend his name was the name of one of the dudes in the band and i clocked him on it and he was very impressed.
You should be, too, Jack.
Re: The Bar - 04/16.
Very proud!
Of himself, mainly, but still.
Re: The Bar - 04/16.
i think ur missing a few ws there
Re: The Bar - 04/16.
Though if he heard it was Lars, Jack was gonna judge Dean. Just a little bit.
Re: The Bar - 04/16.

Re: The Bar - 04/16.
Summer felt like he kind of walked right into that one. Plus, she had been a squirrel and was having kind of a personal crisis right now, so she should be allowed at least one old person joke.
Re: The Bar - 04/16.
Sometimes it was better to reserve the storm of complaints about a dumb insult for when you saw someone in person.
Re: The Bar - 04/16.
But everyone was definitely allowed to notice her quickly taking a selfie with her flipping Jack off and then sending it to him.
how's that for a baby finger
