Caritas; Wednesday [07/02].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer was already feeling a little restless that week, as one might expect when one had a RageFest sized carrot dangled in front of them on the way to a new possible business prospect, and it really didn't help that Tino, although he didn't say anything, was giving her a look as she set up her specials board that week.

"What?" she said. "We had a lot of mango at the store this week! You think I'm happy about that? I don't even like mango all that much!"

And now Tino was really looking at her like she was crazy.

No Jack there today. Not physically, anyway.

Instead she got a picture - of the Ebon Hawk's cockpit, a wide smattering of stars visible through the window.

look at me i'm on vacation.

You didn't need punctuation to express that level of dry, right?

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer was squinting at her phone now with mild suspicion.

like for real real? Or am I about to frown disapprovingly at my phone a lot because u got sucked into something?

A beat.

unless that something was a black hole in which case cool actually

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[suitably_heroic]

nah nah i'm visiting lana she'll kill me if i get involved in anything.

Jack deserved bonus adult points because he wasn't inclined to make any dirty jokes about the black hole thing.

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

and u know that if she didn't kill u for getting involved in anything then I definitely would

And no bonus points for avoiding a joke that he'd probably know she would soon totally lean into, if it had been made.

where at?

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[suitably_heroic]

odessen rn. where her crews at. gonna take a trip back to the ol' homeworld tomorrow tho.

Because getting irrationally annoyed by tourists enjoying thrantas last week just hadn't been enough.

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

ok yeah I should have probably figured odessen

And that was all for a moment, as Summer tried to decide whether or not to add her next thought.

be careful tho ok?

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[suitably_heroic]

if somehow i do wander into trouble despite lanas extremely cheerful reassurances it will be fine i promise i will hightail it out of there at full speed in my incredible starship, Jack texted.

It was not a promise he could credibly make, probably, but he was going to try!

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

Could you also go to say hi to your bestie?

"Hi," Stark said, settling on to his usual stool.

"Happy Wednesday?"

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Sure! Assuming your bestie was either Summer or Tino. And since no one should ever claim Tino as a bestie...

"Hi, Stark," she greeted back. "Definitely a happy Wednesday if you like mango. And if not?"

Well, she was setting all the shots down in front of him regardless.

"Whoops?"

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[stykera]

Clearly, the narrative had meant Tino. Clearly.

"Mango is good." Not his favorite but still good.

"Were you attacked by mangos earlier?"

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Not exactly," Summer said, a little relieved to hear he didn't mind mango, be ause she was making the cocktail now, too, "although I guess you could say the store was. Apu was livid about it, too. National Mango Day isn't until the 22nd!"

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[stykera]

"I didn't know there was a day for that. But I should have. Seems to be a day for everything."

And Apu always knew about them.

"I'm glad you weren't attacked. Maybe you attacked them instead. Turned them all into drinks."

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"I mean," Summer allowed, "that is a pretty good way to warn any mangos with untoward ideas to think twice before messing with me. Or any fruit, for that matter.

"How was your day, Stark? A little more relaxing without the threat of shenanigans hanging over your shoulder this week?"

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[stykera]

"A good way to warn any enemies," Stark said. "Cross you and you'll be turned into jello."

Sure, that might not work well somewhere they'd never heard of Jello but maybe it would still sound ominous enough.

"My day was fine. And yes. Relaxing without the threat of Anakin. Aside from too many mangoes yours went well?"

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey was struggling through bad internet so bear with me but she should still stop in showed up, took her seat, and said, "Another theme night, I see."

She liked mango, at least!

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Thank god, Summer was going to be in some trouble if no one did actually like mango!

"Not entirely intentional this time," she admitted. "We just had a stupid amount of mangos come in this week. But hey! Good news! The peach one has gummy candies! And you know what that means!"

If Rey guessed that Summee had a bag of the extra dummies waiting to be plopped down on the bar, then congratulations! She won a bag of the extra dummies now being plopped down on the counter!

....the bag of gummy rings were also a consolation prize if she still guessed wrong, though, so she won either way! Hooray!

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey had to laugh when she saw the bag plop.

"I appreciate so much that you think of me."

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

"And it really is that," Summer informed her proudly, "especially since, in a moment here, it's going to totally sound like a bribe, but I swear, it's not. But I might have been kiiinda hoping you'd be stopping in today because I miiiiiight have a favor to ask. Peach rings 1000% not contingent on acceptance, promise!"

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[thatwaslucky]

"And whaaaat would that favor be?" she asked curiously. Since she might have one of her own.

Re: The Bar - 07/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Oooh! Double favor intrigue!

The dragging back of the vowels made Summer smirk a little as she explained.

With more vowels.

"Let's just saaaaaay," she started, "that maaaaybe, if I were to kinda fuck off to another dimension for a bit....could you keep an eye on my ship for me? Granted, it's all still...really to in the air and depends on...a lot of uncertain variables right now, but if this does end up popping off, you're probably the one I'd trust her with the most."

The Lounge - 07/02.

[somethingwithturquoise]
