I'm concerned about the theme you have going here.

"What theme?"

You don't see it?

Thor glanced over at the specials board.

Specials
Hurricane
Dark & Stormy
Tropic Thunder

"Ah. Well. Hurricane season is upon us."

Hopefully not upon us...

"Leave that to me," Thor said mildly as he dried a glass.

Tiny? Tiny was giving him a wide berth while he was "talking to himself," which suited Thor just fine.

Eric was back in his lounge area, avoiding Tiny and his tales of the weekend. As always, Eric was just glad he hadn't spent the weekend as a supermodel without a single thought between his ears.

The bar was open and the drinks were strong.

ifwebeworthy

With the bags, there was not enough space behind the bar.

Thor kicked one labeled DADDY ISSUES aside in order to reach the chalkboard to write the specials, then simply...stared at it for a moment.

Nothing was coming to mind. Out of the corner of his eye he could see an enormous steamer trunk with ASGARD splashed across it, the names of the fallen printed in smaller font all around it, Fandral and Hogun and Tyr and Sif and Volstagg.

Loki.

He expected that somewhere among the mess his brother had his own bag, but he had not looked for it.

Finally, Thor wrote something on the specials board and turned back to the bar.

SPECIAL
ALE

It was a perfectly cromulent special, okay? The Devil's Nest is open.

texted3times

Tiny was celebrating the first weekend of summer by wearing eye-searing board shorts--no shirt--and sunglasses inside.

"Well, I can hardly tell you to put something on," said an equally shirtless Eric, "but no flipflops behind the bar. It's a safety violation."

Probably. He hadn't checked, but he really didn't want to see Tiny's toes.

Frozen drinks were on special tonight! Come on in!

ifwebeworthy

Thor did not want to hear about Tiny's vacation plans. Tiny didn't care what he wanted, but unfortunately for Tiny, Thor was very good at tuning him out. It was probably growing up with Loki that did it.

Special
Mint Julep

I think the Kentucky Derby already happened, Don said from what Thor was beginning to think of as his seat.

"What does that have to do with anything?"

The Devil's Nest is open!

ifwebeworthy

Thor wasn't sulking. That was beneath a god of his standing.

He just thought the paintball game had been rigged, that was all.

Don thought he and Steve had gone for mutually assured destruction and it was their own fault. Thor was ignoring Don as unhelpful, as well as whatever Tiny was still doing with the maraschino cherries and toothpicks over there.

Special
May Vesper

The Devil's Nest is open!

texted3times

Tiny had an inordinate amount of maraschino cherries and toothpicks out tonight.

"I'm not going to ask," Eric told him. "I'm not."

The Devil's Nest was open. Tiny was apparently inspired.

ifwebeworthy

There had been a delivery of tequila at the Devil's Nest, which would have been more timely earlier in the week, but whatever. Thor could work with it.

Special
All Margaritas

There. That should do it. The Devil's Nest is open!

texted3times

Tino was wearing a sombrero and mixing extremely strong margaritas tonight.

Eric came in, gave him a thorough once-over and nodded. "I'll allow it," he said. "Tonight only."

The Devil's Nest was open. Get your Cinco de Mayo on!

ifwebeworthy

Thor was a bit distracted tonight, being deep in conversation with himself.

Well, with Don, but Don was a bit invisible unless you could see ghosts. Still, if anyone tried to sit on that particular barstool Thor would tell them to move.

I just think we've got to be coming at it all wrong. It's not like anyone knew how to create Asgard before it was created in the first place.

"Did they not?" Thor asked, ignoring the look Tiny shot him. "We do not know that."

Maybe it's something you just have to...do.

"But how?"

Don did not have an answer for that.

Specials
May Daisy
May Queen
May Day

The Devil's Nest is open!

Octavia turned up for work to find out every last beverage at the club had turned into... something. Tiny offered up something about mead, but mostly just shrugged.

Octavia shrugged back, and after thinking about it for a second, wrote something on the specials board:

TONIGHT'S SPECIAL
we don't know
but there's a lot of it

There, that'd work.

[ooc: Aaaaand open.]

ifwebeworthy

Thor was in a mood. He'd been in a mood all week, since the children had left. So many possibilities, so many paths, and yet the way was so muddled. To move toward one was to close the door on another. It felt unfair, but then, who had ever said the universe was fair?

Special
Beer

There. That would do. The Devil's Nest is open!

ifwebeworthy

"None of this has anything to do with the resurrection of your Christ."

He's not my Christ.

"Perhaps I was talking to Tiny."

I'm not sure Tiny has religion.

Thor eyed Tiny speculatively, and decided it was safest not to ask.

Specials
Berry French 75
Easter Bunny Martini
Spiked Strawberry Peeps Soda

The Devil's Nest is open, and the resident thunder god is very confused about how Easter is celebrated.

texted3times

"No, I am not enjoying the sunny weather," Eric said dryly to Tiny as his bartender had clearly run out of all things to small talk about. "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

The Devil's Nest was open. The specials were full of sunshine and spring. The vampire was lurking in a dark corner.

my_own_advocate

Lucifer hadn't been back here since... everything.

And he wasn't really quite back here, yet. He just... wandered inside, past Tiny, and went behind the bar, and poured himself a drink. Drank it. Poured another one. Drank it. Poured a third.

Then he got behind the piano, and began to play. Dark, dramatic things. Perhaps a touch of Billie Eilish.

The Devil's Nest was open, though.

ifwebeworthy

Thor, of course, did not care about the upcoming holiday of Easter, but he didn't mind a theme. He probably would have held off until next week, but he thought 'specialty cocktails' was a better fate for all these Cadbury creme eggs than whatever Tiny had had planned for them.

Specials
Bee's Knees
Cottontail Martini
Cadbury Creme Martini

No real bees or cottontails were harmed in the making of these cocktails. The Devil's Nest is open!

ifwebeworthy

Tonight at the Devil's Nest, Tiny was attempting to recreate the Golden Gate Bridge out of lime wedges.

It wasn't going well for him. They were really the wrong shape for this project. Thor was letting him try, though.

Specials
Tom Collins*
Lemon Lavender Gin Rickey
Cucumber Mint Margarita

*But not the real Tom Collins, that would be cruel.

The Devil's Nest is open!

okteiviakom

There wasn't a ton Octavia could do at the club with one hand out of commission, wrapped in bandages as it was. Still, she'd made it to work, just for the feeling of doing something.

She was very tired, though.

Really, really tired.

So if a lot of her 'doing something' was leaning against the bar and pretending to supervise whatever Tiny was doing, so be it.

[ooc: Also OOCly very tired, but open!]

texted3times

Tiny, Eric was learning tonight, had gone to the kite festival on the National Mall Saturday and had seen all the cherry blossoms.

And had taken approximately a hundred billion pictures of all of it. If no one interrupted, Eric was in for a very long evening of Tiny explaining every. single. one of them.

Please interrupt. There was a cherry-themed cocktail in it for you.

ifwebeworthy

Tiny seemed to expect Thor to have some sort of vendetta against creme de menthe, but Thor had no idea why. "Honestly, I do not care," he assured Tiny. "Knock yourself out."

Sadly, Tiny did not knock himself out. But he did come up with some specials for the board.

Specials
Grasshopper
Stinger
San Moritz Martini

The Devil's Nest is open. And minty.

okteiviakom

Octavia told Tiny she wouldn't be trying any creme de menthe stuff this week, either. Off his surprised look, she shrugged, and said, "Just a hunch."

With that cleared up (and threat avoided), she settled down to work at getting inventory organized, setting clean glasses where they were supposed to go...

And maybe googling around on her phone for some potential future purchases. It happened. And since it would likely benefit one club host, it was technically almost work.

[ooc: Open!]

texted3times

It was, Tiny told Eric, National Cocktail Day, and he had gotten inspired.

"Not with creme de menthe, right?" Eric checked, thinking back to his conversation with Octavia last week.

Tiny looked guilty.

Eric would leave that potentially terrible life choice to the fates of his patrons. He was drinking True Blood.

The bar was open!

my_own_advocate

"All of our mixers have been replaced with what," Lucifer said slowly.

"Apple cider vinegar," Lucifer said loudly.

"Right, give me my phone back, I'm making a call to Gwyneth--" Lucifer yelled.

Argument concluded, Tiny walked up to the specials board and wrote down, sighing, No Cocktails Today - Beer Wine and Spirits 10 percent off.

[[ open ]]

ifwebeworthy

Thor was...in a mood today. The specials board was blank, and he probably seemed like even more of a forbidding rock carved into the shape of a man than usual.

He didn't want to talk about it.

It was fine. Everything was fine. The Devil's Nest was open.

okteiviakom

All the green decorations were gone, and Octavia for one was grateful. But that didn't mean all the green in the club in general was gone, so...

SPECIALS
Green drinks half price

Maybe that would do it, to get rid of whatever novelty booze was still around. The Devil's Nest was open.

texted3times

Tiny was behind the bar in a "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" shirt (he wasn't and please don't) and Eric was over in the lounge trying unsuccessfully to avoid getting covered in the shamrock-shaped glitter that had been spread throughout the bar.

"And no, I still don't believe it was a leprechaun," he told Tiny, fishing a piece from his glass of whiskey.

The bar was decked out for St. Patrick's Day, Eric would charge you double if you insisted on green beer, and the Dropkick Murphys were in heavy rotation on the sound system. Come on in.

ifwebeworthy

Things seemed to already be in the festive spirit at the Devil's Nest, but Thor could not particularly care. He had very little to do with Ireland, after all, and he quite liked snakes, so he thought it rather cruel of that Patrick fellow to drive them out.

Nonetheless, when in Rome and so forth.

Special
Guinness

The Devil's Nest is open!

okteiviakom

There was no bed in the club. Not that Octavia would have known to think there was any chance of one, but still. There were however, more than a few various green decorations around the place.

They mostly made Octavia feel a little twitchy. But then again she'd been feeling a little restless all day, so...

Maybe tomorrow she'd head out into the preserve again. It had been too long.

[ooc: Annnnd open!]

my_own_advocate

"We should put a bed in the club."

Someone had gone on a bit of a bender last night. Purely to see how close to drunk he could get. But while Lucifer couldn't get a hangover, he could, in fact, stay up too late.

And so now he was sprawled in a booth, staring up at the ceiling.

Tiny shook his head and just kept sweeping the floor.

[[ open but slooow ]]

texted3times

Tiny was wearing an obnoxious green top hat today, and Eric didn't believe for a minute it was because he was half leprechaun.

The bar was open, Irish whiskey was on special, and Eric would be happy to pinch you just because you were annoying him.

ifwebeworthy

Thor had been researching recipes for the upcoming St. Patrick's Day, even though he quite liked snakes and didn't think they'd deserved to be driven out of Ireland, when he'd come across a drink whose name he found amusing.

This had led to something of an alternate theme.

Specials
Banner's Mule
Iron Ranger

"A knight-themed party," Lucifer said dubiously. "Who on Earth would want to go back to the Middle Ages? Well, okay, fair, everyone was up for a few good rolls in the hay in a remarkable amount of positions, but also the rolls were, in fact, in hay, and-- are you ignoring me?"

Tiny looked down at his notepad and jotted down some notes.

"Honestly," Lucifer told him. "Just for that, I'm playing Top 40 tonight."

He stormed towards the stage.

okteiviakom

This week on Wednesday night, no one was shirtless at the Devil's Nest.

At least so far, and Octavia would prefer to keep it that way. Tiny, she had her eye on you. (Not like that.) And also you, Eric, in less of a literal sense. (And also not like that. ... This week.)

The ice cubes were also back to normal. Octavia was celebrating by making herself a drink full of them.

[ooc:Open!]

texted3times

Eric'd had an amazing previous week, thank you so much for asking!

Tiny was decidedly not asking.

Eric was drinking his usual glass of True Blood and Tiny was giving the bar a thorough bleaching. You know, just in case.

The Devil's Nest was open.

ifwebeworthy

Of course Thor was shirtless behind the bar tonight. He was not unaffected by the pollen, although he and Blake had discovered that by swapping places regularly they could mitigate the effects somewhat by taking a break from them, and was feeling rather warm. And, not that he would admit the motive out loud, the patrons of the bar deserved a little treat for suffering much more than he.

You were welcome, everybody.

Tiny was also shirtless, and you were perhaps less welcome for that, but it wasn't as if Thor could stop him.

Special
Buttery Nipple

...Tiny might also have chosen the special.

The Devil's Nest is open!

okteiviakom

All of the ice cubes were various suggestive shapes. Tiny wasn't admitting to anything, but Octavia had her suspicions. While also being vaguely, grudgingly impressed there were so many different ~~fully moddable!~~ ones.

... She was also taking pictures of some of the more elaborate ones and texting them to Lucifer. What, she knew who the best audience for novelty ice was.

[ooc: Open!]

texted3times

Eric's pleased little smirk showed he was not at all sorry to be late to the bar tonight, but he wasn't the sort to kiss and tell. (Just kiss. And other things.)

He strolled over to his favorite seat in the lounge in his far-too-tight leather ants (you're welcome, Tiny), ordered a Screaming Orgasm, and waited.

It was his favorite week of the year.

ifwebeworthy

The bartender was talking to himself again at the Devil's Nest.

I do not need to exercise more.

"You have been getting out less, now that it is winter," Thor observed as he checked over the ingredients behind the bar. "Perhaps some squats would not go amiss." Modified, of course. The corner of Thor's mouth turned up in amusement as he added, "Or a burpee or two."

...are you screwing with me?

"I am merely concerned for your health!" He was totally screwing with Don.

Special
Pink Squirrel

"Why is there a statue of a penguin at the door?" Lucifer asked. "All the ice is gone."

Tiny shrugged, then padded up to the statue to light a little candle. He mumbled some words, though Lucifer couldn't hear them.

"Right," Lucifer said slowly. "Cult night? Not really what I'd call a crowd pleaser. I'll be over here with the cocktails."

He wrote that down on the specials' board while he was at it.

[[ open ]]

ifwebeworthy

Thor was rather disappointed to find the ice bar gone when he arrived for his shift on Thursday evening, but he supposed all good things must come to an end. At least Tiny was happier, although...was that really an upside?

Special
Spiced Bourbon Black Tea Hot Toddy

Also he supposed it was a plus that he didn't have to worry about the specials melting the bar. The Devil's Nest is open!

texted3times

Eric supposed that word would spread about the ice bar and the luge Lucifer had added, but somehow he still hadn't predicted a bachelor party of loud, felt penguins in the club on a Monday night.

Tiny, by his expression, was absolutely unsurprised. Just...over it.

The Devil's Nest was open. Watch out for the Muppet penguins.

ifwebeworthy

Thor was pleased to see the ice bar had survived this week, even if Tiny remained considerably less pleased. Thor didn't know why. The climate was merely brisk, as far as he was concerned. Certainly nothing that would interfere with the observation of Shirtless Thursdays!

Specials
Hot Apple Cider Buttered Rum
Swedish Polar Bear

The Devil's Nest was open!

my_own_advocate

Lucifer, Octavia and Duke had come home from the Bahamas that morning. Lucifer himself had put off going to the club, hoping that whatever shenanigans had happened in his absence would disperse by the time he arrived in the evening.

But alas. It was not to be.

"Right," he sighed, eyeing the ice bar. "I suppose it's too much to ask that we at least get a sponsorship from a beer brand or something for this?"

Tiny shrugged.

"Well, might as well make it a theme," he said. "Right. I'm going to call someone about installing a designer ice luge."

[[ open! ]]

texted3times

The ice bar was back! "I was a visionary a week too soon," Eric was telling a deeply unimpressed Tiny. "Keep the door open, it'll help."

Welcome to an immersive winter experience, whether you wanted it or not!

ifwebeworthy

Thor was unsurprised (but honestly a little disappointed) to find the ice bar gone from Caritas by Thursday evening. He supposed more moderate temperatures suited the tradition of Shirtless Thursday better, but maybe those who didn't want to go shirtless in ice bar-sustaining temperatures were just cowards. He was just saying. At any rate, he was here, and, of course, shirtless.

He had taken the weather into consideration when settling on a special for the night.

Special
Glögg

The Devil's Nest is open!

okteiviakom

Octavia wasn't quite as built for an extended semi-tropical paradise getaway as his partners were. In fact, she wasn't quite as built for any extended getaway (it was the away that always became the problem sooner or later), so when yet another Wednesday rolled around, she'd opted to hop a portal and come work her first shift since they'd originally taken off right before the holidays.

She didn't feel terribly surprised to find the club cold, with some sort of... half-melted ice bar thing?

Home sweet home.

She was now going to spend most of her shift trying to corral Tiny into cleaning up some of the melted mess, while also wondering whether she should text Eric.

(Or possibly Lucifer.)

[ooc: Open!]

texted3times

Cold and dark was Eric's native habitat, and so he'd brought that into the club today. The heat had been turned off to allow the bar he'd constructed entirely from ice to not melt immediately.

Tiny, behind said bar and wearing three hats, looked decidedly unhappy about the new change in theme.

Eric, drinking very cold vodka, did not care.

The Devil's Nest was open! Be careful on the slippery floor.

ifwebeworthy

People thought this was cold? Bah. When it hit negative 30, then perhaps Thor would take a chill.

Don had informed Thor that this sort of thing was not helpful, but had agreed that Thor losing his shirt would be both in accordance with the bar's traditions and, perhaps, cheering for the patrons.

Tiny had been told to keep his shirt on, and was sulking about it. You're welcome.

Specials
Snowflake Martini
White Russian
Nor'Easter

'Sex on a Snowbank'? That doesn't sound like a good idea, Don said as Thor continued to study themed cocktails on his phone.

"Indeed," Thor agreed quietly. "I believe that would lead to frostbite in unfortunate places."

The Devil's Nest is open, and the bartender is talking to himself. His other self. You know how it is.

ifwebeworthy

Thor was back behind the bar at the Devil's Nest, which meant that, difficult as it had been to keep track of days lately, it must be Thursday.

Tiny might be among those who had struggling, because he looked surprised to see him, but then again, maybe that was just Tiny's face.

Specials
Snowshoe Grog
Hot Toddy
Corpse Reviver No. 1

Thor had expressed some concerns about that last one, but was assured it was for those still afflicted with festive hangovers, and couldn't actually raise the dead. Probably.

The Devil's Nest is open and not involved in necromancy! Probably.

ifwebeworthy

Once more, Thor was behind the bar at the Devil's Nest, ready to serve drinks and hear the tales of his patrons' holiday festivities.

Tiny was attempting to make a menorah out of potatoes. Thor wished him luck with that.

Special
Boxing Day

Thor remained disappointed that Boxing Day continued to involve no actual boxing. More holidays could do with a bit of fisticuffs, in his opinion.

The Devil's Nest is open!
