You know how there were gremlins wandering around and biting people into thinking they were zombies? You know what you didn't want getting bitten. Actual damn zombies. Kitty, Tino and the flamingo (don't ask) had managed to get the zombies offstage and safely locked up for the day, so at least anyone coming in didn't have to worry about getting bitten by more than gremlins.

And anyone who'd been bitten by gremlins and now thought they were a zombie. Look, Kitty couldn't protect you from everything, though at least there was a sanctuary spell here.

YOU SPENT A GOOD PART OF YOUR YOUTH HERE!
COME DRINK AGAIN!

[Come get drunk! Catch up! Make bad choices! Get into fights and end up in the pond!]

Mike was aware there was some kind of a school-related shindig happening in town. He also knew there was a ton of people on the island so he figured this was not a work shift to miss. Maybe it'd get a little more interesting than most weeks.

He hung up the specials board and settled behind the bar.

TONIGHT'S SPECIALS
Absent Friend
Friend of A Friend

Shut up, he couldn't resist a good theme when one came to him.

Hermoine had changed over ~~the course of the gremlin bite~~ teh summer. No longer was she Hermine Grainer, Hogwarts student and brain! No, now she was Serena Moonstar Fairyweather, a witch who is also part vampire and angle, and also went to Slytherin. But now. She's graduated, and she is an ordinary collage student who is really plain but also really beautiful and the most powerful with ever, except she was clumsy and fell down all the time. She had super long honey blond hair with bubblegum pink tips and had ceruleen blue orbs that changed color when she changed moods but she was just really ordinary like you or me. She was wearing daisy dukes and a black tank top and jewelllry she got from Hot Topic like anyone else her age. She was really depressed because she couldn't find a boyfriend but her roommate was going to have her go interview some guy so maybe she would find one there.

She was walking along and fell down. "Oh I'm so clumsy" she said

[It had to be done. OPEN.]

When Jolee got to the bar, the first thing he did was put up a sign saying "For Sale."

When he stepped inside, the first thing he saw was Tino wearing a party hat. "I'll miss you too, Tino," he said.

[OOC: This will be Jolee's final post in Fandom. I am around!

The next owner will buy the place soon. Until then, Tino's in charge.]

Ben actually felt like risking a Friday visit to the bar. Sure, the old man usually roped him into working when he tried coming here on those nights. But there was no sign of any trouble as Ben walked in and took a seat at the bar, so he ordered a club soda. "So, Tino, where's the old guy?"

Tino shrugged, pulled an apron out from under the counter, and tossed it to Ben.

"... He better appreciate all the spare time he has thanks to me," Ben said, putting the apron on, and taking his place behind the bar. And then he got his own club soda. Thanks a lot, Tino.

[OOC Slowish until about 7:30 Central, then around completely!]

Given the events of the prior weekend, Robin was pleased when she came to work and no one seemed to be wearing lycra or blasting really horrific music, or asking her to sign their boobs.

That is, until she spotted Tino's bedazzled denim jacket, and heard the humming, both of which -- she was almost certain -- were meant to simply annoy her.

(She was right, and they did.)

[with LJ misbehaving and my day having been hellish, modding Tino is your best bet unless you don't mind a little scatterbrainedness.]

Current Mood: cranky

Jolee and Tino weren't doing anything at all special tonight. Just a normal night. Tino was wearing a beret, but that's it.

[OOC: May be slowish.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee didn't know who Bruce Springsteen was, but if he had, it still would have been creepy to him that the zombie guitarist was attempting to slide across the stage crotch first. It would seem that no matter how many Springsteen songs the zombies played tonight, Jolee was in no danger of being displaced as the boss.

[OOC: I'm around!]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee and Tino watched as a terrifying sight was unfolding. It wasn't a terrifying sight like they saw in the back room the one day, although it did share the same participants.

The zombie bass player got down on one half of a knee and proposed to Zombie Yoko. When he put the ring on her finger, the finger fell off. And then, suddenly, a chipmunk ran into the bar, grabbed the finger in its teeth, and scampered off with two zombies lurching after it.

"Does that mean they're not engaged?" Jolee asked Tino. Tino shrugged. "I don't think a squirrel would have done that. They're too smart and that finger can't be healthy." Tino shrugged.

[OOC: In zombie culture, losing one's ring finger means that no engagement took place. Strange but true as far as I know. Vague inspiration for this post by

trickster_twin.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Tino was just bugging Jolee tonight. No special reason for it or anything. All Tino was doing was being young, and Jolee was irritated by that. So he was in the lounge with a glass of water while Tino manned the bar.

[OOC: I just got home from a long day of work. I have little inspiration. Ping Jolee in the lounge if you want to chat, otherwise mod Tino.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Tino was alone at the bar tonight. That's because Jolee was in the back room. With bleach. Lots and lots of bleach. And a rebreather to help him deal with the fumes.

Apparently this was a Jedi thing.

[OOC: Mod Tino tonight. Jolee will be around in the back room if you want to talk to him, though. Just call out to him and he'll come out of the fumey room.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee walked in tonight fully expecting Tino to be up to some kind of sexually charged hijinx that would end up being embarrassing for someone. Much to his surprise, Tino just stood there with a tray of cupcakes. "What's going on?" Jolee asked. "And where is the bass player?"

Tino pointed towards the back room. Jolee walked towards the room - where, strangely, there were distressing noises - and hurried back into the main bar. He used the Force to pull a few tables towards the doorway to the back room and block it off.

"Remind me to bug Skywalker for his bleach. And where does that girl zombie keep coming from?" Jolee asked, shuddering as he made his way behind the bar. Tino patted Jolee's shoulder and offered him a cupcake. They had both now seen something that living being was ever meant to see.

That thing was zombie sex. Just in case that wasn't clear.

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Tino was sad that he didn't get to go to the sleepover last night. He had such plans for it, too! And that's why he swung a pillow at Jolee the second Jolee stepped behind the bar.

Unfortunately for him, the Sanctuary Spell took that to be violence. Tino returned five minutes later, dripping wet. His pillow was also dripping wet. Tino was not happy.

Jolee, on the other hand, found this all very amusing.

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

"Give me a glass of water," Jolee said when he walked into the bar tonight. Tino produced the glass and Jolee dropped some goldfish into it. "It was an interesting trip over here," Jolee explained.

[OOC: I'm around!]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

It was one of those nights where wackiness was happening and Jolee couldn't bring himself to stop it.

The zombies cleared the lounge and turned it into a dance floor for the night. All this because the bass player wanted to DANCE. DANCE. DANCE. And like people always said, let dancing zombies boogie.

[OOC:

once_a_king (AND NOT ANYONE ELSE) gets credit for the dance floor for the evening. I'm around!]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

When Jolee walked into the bar, he saw Tino and the zombies stumbling around drunk. As it turns out, they were playing a game of I Never.

The zombies kept getting Tino with "Eiiiii evrrrrrr braaaaaiiiiiiins." Tino got the zombies bad with "I never died."

Jolee looked at his employees, shook his head, and focused on a Force Heal technique that would purge the alcohol from their systems. "I never ruined a drinking game between my employees. Whoops, there's one for me."

[OOC: I'm around!]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

It had been nearly a week since the whole Skrull thing. Therefore, Tino reasoned, Jolee was probably over it by now. And that's why he was wearing a robe, bald cap, and fake facial hair to pose as Young Jolee. Yes, even Young Jolee was bald as far as Tino was concerned.

When Jolee walked into the bar, his response was brief. "If hate didn't lead to the Dark Side, I would hate you so much right now. As it is, I'm just going to count it as a day off for Tino and give his salary to charity. I'm sure you'd appreciate that, young me."

Tino was pretty sure he was actually getting off easy with that.. And at least he'd still have his tips for the night.

"Tips too," Jolee said.

Tino sighed.

[OOC: I'm here! I'm here!]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

"I've had a bad couple of weeks," Jolee told Tino. "So I think we'll all be happier tonight if nobody annoys anyone tonight."

And with that, Tino put down his water pistols.

[OOC: I'm around!]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

The zombies were not performing tonight. Instead, they were holding up one of those fancy ancient thrones that servants carried around. Seated in the throne was Tino, who was wearing a toga and laurel wreath. When Tino had to mix a drink, the zombies knelt so Tino could reach the ingredients.

Jolee sighed and tried to ignore the zombies attempting to chant "Toga! Toga! Toga!"

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee stared at the band from his spot behind the bar tonight. According to Tino, they were playing "Just a Friend" over and over. Tino also suggested that they weren't doing it worse than the original version.

Jolee's ears hurt.

[OOC: I may be slowish, but I am around! Mod Tino for speed, though.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee wandered into the bar slightly late. He was old. It was his business. He was allowed, okay?

Anyway, Caritas was open.

[OOC: Sorry for being a little late! I'm around now!]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

"Why are you wearing a paper bag?" Jolee asked Tino.

Tino refused to answer. He had a zit. He was far too vain to address this directly.

"You didn't even cut out any eyeholes. How do you expect to work?" Jolee asked.

Tino shrugged and made a screwdriver, only with prune juice instead of orange juice.

"Go ahead and grab a straw. I'm sure you'll enjoy your drink," Jolee said.

Tino was glad that nobody could see his face when he drank the drink.

[OOC: I'm around, but may be slowish.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

"Is it ready?" Jolee asked. Tino nodded.

The TV in the back room was showing cartoons. There were juice boxes back there. The adorable droid was nowhere to be seen.

Caritas was ready for any kids who might show up.

[OOC: I'm around.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

With the prom going on at the town hall, Jolee felt confident that tonight was going to be a nice, quiet, sane, normal night.

The fact that Tino thought he was two people named Jake and Elwood, leading him to dance up on the stage with the band - who seemed convinced that they were called the Blues Brothers Band - did not necessarily negatively influence Jolee's opinion. After all, he was still sane and normal tonight, and that was nice enough to do away with the quiet.

[OOC: ~~I'm running off to get food. ~~Tino is... indisposed. Mod T1-N0, the bar droid if you wish! ~~I'll be back in a little bit.~~ I'm around.]~~~~

On a night like this, some details were unimportant. Details such as what Ben, Jolee, Jonah, and Zayne were all doing on the boardwalk this evening. Details such as how they got garbage cans, two brooms, a mop, and themselves onto Mooby Land's roof. Details such as how exactly a gremlin snuck up on two Jedi, a superhero with a danger sense, and a lifelong reporter, managed to bite them, and where precisely the bites were.

On a night like this, none of that was important because this was the night where the Beatles were having an impromptu rooftop performance.

~~Zayne~~ Paul picked up his ~~mop~~ bass, and when the others were ready, he started singing.

"Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner / But he knew it wouldn't last.
Jojo left his home in tucson, arizona / For some california grass.
Get back, get back. / Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back. / Get back to where you once belonged."

"Get back, Jojo. Go home!"

Behind him were ~~Jonah~~ Ringo playing the ~~garbage cans~~ drums, ~~Ben~~ George playing the ~~broom~~ guitar, and ~~Jolee~~ John who was also playing the ~~broom~~ and sometimes he played the fool.

[OOC: ~~Please wait for OCD.~~ Open to gawkers, diners, and police responding to noise complaints.

Oh, and the concert as ripped from the Let It Be movie is on Youtube.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee sensed an odd influx of life on the island shortly after he opened the bar tonight, causing him to turn on the radio for confirmation of what he suspected. "Dammit. I thought for sure they would have gotten everything sorted out before I got to the bar tonight." Tino looked awfully smug as Jolee handed him twenty dollars.

[OOC: Open, although I may be slow for a little bit. Related fact, there's an unprotected wireless network within range of the laundromat.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee looked tired when he took his seat behind the bar tonight. "What?" he asked Tino. "There are zombies traipsing around and I live in the woods. I spent most of the night trying to shoo or scare off anything that came my way. Excuse the old man if he's sleepy after that."

Tino didn't say anything. He was staying out of this.

[OOC: People and zombies are welcome, of course. Just remember, any attempts at violence will get the perpetrator teleported out of the building.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

The zombie drummer was sitting at the bar tonight. He had nailed seven of the teams in the Elite Eight, but with four minutes left in the UNC-Oklahoma game, it looked like he was going to lose every single pick for the Final Four. "Braaaaaiiiiiiiiins," he whined.

"There there," Jolee said. "Tell you what, you go back to the stage and Tino will bring you a smoothie shortly."

The drummer seemed to accept this and moved slowly back towards the stage. His decreased speed was due entirely to muscle decay and atrophy and not emo, though.

Tino glared at Jolee. "Do you want him stinking up the bar? There's a reason the stage is all the way over there. Now get started on his smoothie."

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

When Jolee actually walked in on a Friday night, Tino pretended to be STUNNED. He had made up a list of possible reasons why the boss hadn't been around recently on Fridays. It started with "jailbait," went on to "drug night," and finally finished with "He wants me to be happy on Friday nights."

"Were you happy when Loki was in here a couple weeks ago?" Jolee asked.

Tino shut up.

[OOC: Hey, I'm actually around and stuff today. Weird.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Tino was angry. Jolee was beating him in the NCAA pool. The ZOMBIES were beating him in the NCAA pool. He was tanking, hard, and even accused Jolee of using the Force to influence the games.

"The Force doesn't work that way at all," Jolee explained. "However, it may have guided you to make your picks because you need to learn that gambling has consequences. Something to think about."

Instead, Tino thought about how bad Wake Forest screwed him.

[OOC: 3-for-3 with sports references in posts today! Go me! Up way early because I'll be afk for The Colour of Magic on Ion Television tonight. Discworld fans, watch it and rejoice!]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee's orders were pretty simple. "Tee-one, put on cartoons in the back. Tino, get juice ready. Band, play something children like. I'll be in the lounge if anyone needs me. No way I'm volunteering to deal with children."

[OOC: I'm around but distracted. Ping Jolee in the lounge if you want to talk to him.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

It was one of those nights where against all expectations, there was nothing weird going on at the bar. Nobody was wearing a silly outfit, nobody was squabbling, everyone was on good behavior.

It was almost disappointing. But since almost doesn't count, everyone continued to be in good spirits.

Jolee liked nights like this.

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee walked into the bar. "DAMMIT!" he yelled, rubbing his head after getting back up from the ground. "Why do we have a bar at the door? People are going to get hurt!"

Tino pointed to the two zombies holding the bar. They were wearing shirts reading "ZOMBIE LIMBO CHAMPIONSHIPS 2009!"

"And zombies can't bend back very far, explaining why they're holding it at forehead level," Jolee said. Tino nodded. "Great. Okay, you two. Either move your competition to the stage or I'm throwing you out."

The zombies shrugged. This was above their pay grade in the ZLC organization, so they did as Jolee requested and moved to the stage.

As such, the band decided to start playing calypso music to go with the theme.

[OOC: Unlike Pard, I'm not drunk. I have no excuse for this post.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee was here. Again. And he was excited that everything would be back to normal this week.

And then he saw Tino wearing a sombrero. "Why?" he asked. Tino just smiled, knowing that the only true answer to that question was 'sombrero,' but he refused to share it with Jolee.

[OOC: I have no clue.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee was back behind the bar tonight. But he seemed to be making Tino do all of the work anyway. Sometimes it was fun to be the boss.

[OOC: I'm uncreative and am heading out for a little bit. Mod Tino until I'm back! Or keep modding him after I return! See if I care!]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Just because Penelope was on a boat somewhere didn't mean Caritas wouldn't be open tonight.

Granted, with the size of the town this week, opening Caritas basically meant gathering Tino and the band around the bar and playing UNO.

Which is what Jolee was doing tonight.

[OOC: I am around!]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Tino was, for some reason, dressed in a tux tonight. He expressed disappointment to Jolee that he didn't have a red carpet to walk around on, but that he would still like to thank Jolee, the zombies, all of the customers who have supported him through the years, God, his parents...

And he kept on going until Jolee gave the band the cue to start the music.

[OOC: If I'm slow, blame Hugh Jackman.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

"Get over it, Tino," Jolee said.

Tino refused, though. He came up with a list of drinks that would not be served tonight. Anything that even vaguely sounded like some sort of sexual act was banned for the night.

"You're being ridiculous," Jolee said.

[OOC: ~~I may be slow.~~ Mod Tino ~~for speed, but I am around~~. And seriously, Tino is refusing to serve anything that sounds like a sex act. And since Jolee doesn't know how to mix drinks, you're out of luck if you want Sex on the Beach tonight.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

"No, you can't switch places with the stupid droid," Jolee told Tino. "I don't care what kind of game is on."

Tino then disappeared for ten minutes on a break. When he returned, he was wearing cardboard boxes designed to make him look like T1. "That's impressive. But no, you're staying here at the bar."

[OOC: I am actually around today, I swear.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee didn't know why Tino was dressed like a ninja and rapping behind the bar tonight and you could be damn sure that he wasn't going to ask. He really didn't want to know.

[OOC: ~~AFK until about 8 Eastern, then~~ I'm around! I had Vanilla Ice's Ninja Rap stuck in my head on the way home tonight for some reason.

ETA: Or maybe I'm not completely around. The cold that wouldn't die continues to not die and I don't feel great. Mod Tino for speed, but I will still answer pings, albeit slowly.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee came in and checked to make sure that Tino, the zombies, and T1 were all who they were supposed to be. Once he did that, he took a seat in the lounge and let Tino take care of whatever insanity might happen tonight.

[OOC: Continuing the proud tradition for this weekend of cheating and making it a mod Tino night. Jolee's in the lounge if anyone wants to talk to him specifically.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

When Jolee walked into Caritas tonight, he saw Tino sitting on top of T1-N0 and giving orders to zoom around the club. Then, suddenly, Tino lifted into the air thanks to the Force, letting the droid get away. "The droid is not a toy. Or a vehicle. Keep this up and I'll name him assistant manager."

Tino frowned as Jolee lowered him.

"If it happens, it's your own fault. Now go ahead and put up the sign you made."

Don't have a date for Valentine's Day?
Come to Caritas next Saturday and have FIVE!
Three Minute Dates at Caritas
Saturday, February 14th

[OOC: ~~Running off for dinner. Back shortly. Mod Tino or await my return!~~ I'm around, huzzah!]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee opened the bar a little early tonight just in case anyone wanted to come in to watch the pregame to the game that Tino kept raving about. Jolee himself didn't really give a damn, but it shut Tino up for a little bit, which was enough.

There was a sign up front "Watch the Big Game on a Big TV here!" Tino added the capitalization and punctuation. He really was that excited.

So Jolee checked to make sure the T1 utility droid he had programmed to take drink orders, serve the drinks, and pester people until they paid. And then he got out of the way for the rest of the night.

[OOC: Open EEEEEAAAAAARLY since I'll be afk during normal Caritas posting time. Mod Tino and T1-N0, the utility droid that will be servicing the BRAND NEW and PERMANENT redesigned back room. There are several small tables with chairs back there. There's also a few comfy chairs and a couch. The dart board has been moved from the lounge to the back room. Think of it as a common room for adults.

On normal nights, the back room's TV will be moddable. Assume that it will, by default, be turned to some kind of sport thing with the volume down really low, but you can have T1 change the channel and volume. Just not tonight.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee wasn't going to ask what possibly possessed Tino to write "You have the right to remain silent" on every napkin he could. But he did it. And so Jolee told him, "You can't say anything tonight. You do and I take your tips.

Tino sighed. He'd been in a really talkative mood tonight, too.

[OOC: May be a little slow because I've caught another cold. SPRING! GET HERE SOON!]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee walked into the bar to see Tino standing there in a police officer's shirt, wearing a badge that said "Hot Cops." Tino would later explain that the previous owner of Caritas left it when he moved.

"And it didn't come with pants?" Jolee asked. Tino shrugged. "Go put on some pants."

[OOC: GOB's Hot Cops uniform modded with permission from me. I'll be pretty slow, so please mod Tino or show patience with me!]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee walked into Caritas to see Tino standing behind the bar wearing nothing but a thong and a smile.

"No," Jolee said. "Turn around so that you're not facing me and can claim any kind of harassment." He took his robes off when Tino was turned around. Then he threw them onto the bar. "Wear these. I'm taking the night off to see if I can get that image out of my mind."

[OOC: It's a Mod Jedi Dress-Up Tino night! I'm too busy packing things up!]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee sighed. Tino was in one of his moods again. Whenever he had a free moment he started checking all around, demanding to know where a bomb was, dammit, and declaring that they didn't have time for this. He seemed to have time to serve drinks, though, so he let it go and just kept faith that it would pass.

[OOC: Why, yes, 24 does premiere tonight.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

"There, there," Jolee told Tino. "It'll be okay. Lift your head up high and get back to work. There are new people in town. That always causes people to want to drink more."

Tino couldn't help feeling sad, though. All of the teams he had been rooting for this weekend had lost! All he knew was that the Eagles had better win or he was going to be very angry.

[OOC: Tino up there is reflecting my opinions of the NFL playoffs this weekend. GO PHILLY! I may be a little slow again. Please mod Tino for speed or groups.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

"Finally!" Jolee said. "Praise the Force, the holidays are all over!"

That's when Jolee saw Tino bringing a box of red paper hearts to the bar.

"That's not funny. Go put that box away. And put something heavy on top of it so you're not tempted to bring it back out for a month!"

[OOC: Open, but I will probably be a little slow. Mod Tino for speed. Wait for me for awesomeness.]

all4thewookiees.livejournal.com

Jolee looked downright giddy tonight as Tino started to take down all of the Christmas decorations. Honestly, Tino had never seen his boss so happy.

And then he started putting up the New Year's decorations.

"DAMMIT! I can't wait until next weekend!" Jolee yelled.

And Tino smiled.

[OOC: I'm around! And not sick and therefore unlikely to fall asleep during the middle of the evening!

ETA: And I'm going to sleep. I'll pick up pings in the morning.]
