Of course Kitty had been exactly the kind of kid who tried testing her boundaries her first year or so at the X Mansion, which had meant going to a couple midnight movie showings dressed in ways she absolutely should not have been allowed out in. That phase had also died pretty quickly once she realized that no one was going to yell at her for it, but it had still been fun.

And since last week had sucked, it was the perfect time for her and Tony to throw a Rocky Horror Picture Show Petey Scifi Talky Picture showing and give people the chance to let loose a little.

There was an "Enter at your own risk" sign on the front door, the back room had been done up in a lot of red, and there was a very good chance you needed a party today.

Tomorrow was Mike's birthday. He was turning 38, which he was trying not to think about, just like he was trying not to think about how he'd been thirty when he'd first moved to this wacky island all those years ago.

Eight years, though.

Damn.

It was a chill, quiet night at Caritas, and your bartender was repressing. Or at least one of them was, though you could never really know about Tino, could you?

Did you think speed dating was all Caritas was good for tonight? Not likely! After the dates were done, there was still a lot of evening stretching out in front of everyone gathered at the bar tonight.

So in case none of your dates turned out to be a perfect match - whether just for pollen-related relief or something that you might actually want to continue next week, too - there was still time.

Or if you just wanted to drink. That was cool too.

(Also, yes, Mike was somehow at work and not at home spending more quality time with his girlfriend, and no, even he wasn't sure how he'd managed that.)

There was plenty to do this week, but it was possible that one of those things might also be some work? Crazy.

So Brooke came in for a while, at least, making sure the mannequins were showing off the store's lingerie selection was well represented in the window, while the nicer stuff was available right when you walked in the door. Maybe she kept rearranging some things, too, just for something to do with her hands.

For reasons.

It was Thanksgiving week, and Kitty didn't really feel like working.

She was, but she didn't feel like it.

At any rate, the holiday meant she could play a little and try out some new recipes. She expected a quiet night at the bar, but that didn't mean she couldn't still have fun making them.

So that had definitely been way too many dreams involving glowy eyes and ghostly specters to be inflicted upon a person during a single night. Just in general, Mike was actually starting to feel like he was being personally harassed by the island with this Halloween thing. Which he knew was ridiculous, but he was giving his sleep-deprived brain a pass on that. In part because the island was ridiculous.

Either way, when he'd finally given up on getting any rest this morning and rolled out of bed, he'd actually muttered, out loud, "Oh my God, I'm going, I'm going." And going where, you ask? To Party Palace, of course! If Fandom was going to go this hardcore with getting into the spirit of things, then fine, he was going to get off his ass and start planning this year's party.

He didn't for a second actually think that it would appease the island into leaving his coffee and his dreams alone, but wandering the aisles of the party store was still better than staying home and stewing in how damn tired he was. So he was going to gather like a shit-ton of black and orange tableware and napkins and stuff in his shopping basket and then just, like, bury himself where they kept all the costumes.

Speaking of which:

"... Oh wow that's a lot of Space Battles."

Yes, it was.

Mike was normal this weekend.

Caritas, however, was not. There was a weird vibe happening tonight. The zombies were playing moody music, and the few NPC patrons already around seemed to all be eyeing each other suspiciously. It felt like something was brewing, and Mike wasn't sure what, but it didn't seem like anything good.

Still, maybe it'd be entertaining, if nothing else.

This week wasn't entirely terrible! Sure, the black and white was super boring, but nothing was actively trying to kill them (so far) and they didn't have things like a food shortage, so this was a win!

Of course the current look of the island apparently did make Tino think he was funny, because when Kitty walked in the first thing she saw was:

Guess who'd forgotten his birthday yesterday?

Mike!

Guess who still hadn't remembered it, because he'd literally spent all of this week up to his Caritas shift trying to make sure a big-ass dining room set was going to be ready by its delivery deadline on Monday?

Also Mike!

And finally, guess who was now confused about Tino looking sulky and muttering something about not having been brought any leftover cake tonight like every five minutes?

Stiiiiill Mike, yeah. Caritas was open, and only one of its bartenders knew one of them had turned a year older yesterday.

Almost immediately after getting to the bar, Tino tried punting a gremlin out and got bitten instead.

So should you ever want to see Tino onstage performing the world's least effective burlesque act with a zombie band as musical backup, here you go? Also get yourself checked.

Kitty'd be at the bar, averting her eyes. The entire night.

Somehow, Mike was on zombie duty tonight. Tino was busying himself mixing complicated drinks, and apparently that meant he couldn't do anything else, even though Mike was pretty sure he was just pouring shit into mixers at random just because.

And so Mike was on his third go-round with trying to tape the drummer's arm back on. Once finished, he stood up, shook his head, and leveled a look at the rest of the band.

"Can you guys just... not have him play so hard?"

The other zombies just gave him pretty vacant looks.

So he sighed and went back behind the bar again.

Well, it wasn't as if Caritas was going to close right after the dates! The night was still so young that it was practically prepubescent, and so there was plenty of time for people to stick around and talk some more with the dates they'd most liked - or to talk to some of the people they hadn't been matched with.

Caritas was (still) open, please buy lots to drink.

Mike was a little distracted during his shift. Because of the very important task of looking up new ideas for Halloween themed jello shots.

Look, if he was going to throw another party - even after several years - he couldn't not serve the damn things. It would've probably been sacrilege at this point. Plus, they were fun to make.

Tino didn't seem all that interested in any of the one's Mike showed him on his phone, but that guy was never interested in anything, anyway.

Town hall was decked out for homecoming, and there was certainly... a theme. Halloween Under the Sea was definitely a theme that they had come up with.

And it was a theme that was put together by several people not from this universe who didn't know much about Halloween, or what this planet had under its sea.

So there were definitely backdrops of waves lining the walls, and they were decorated with things like fish. Fish that were wearing costumes that had been Googled so that some might have firefighter helmets on, or cat ears. One was very definitely a superhero. Same for the octoroks. And sure, yeah, maybe you had one of these guys on a wall but he was wearing a witch's hat!

There was also plenty of orange and black glitter around, too. Don't worry, they hadn't classed the place up too much.

The Onsen was decorated in tastefully gender neutral pastel greens and yellows with a sign directing guests of the shower to where they were meant to go. And, for a change, the island wasn't doing something strange to mess up a party!

If Mike seemed a little more frazzled tonight than he usually did, well, you didn't need to look any further than the tall hunk of a guy standing at the bar. Mike was pretty tall too, of course, but Richie was taller. And Mike was muscular, but Richie was even more so.

And neither of those things were the reason Mike was a little off-balance. Nah, that was from the simple fact that Richie was here at all. He'd shown up at the house a little before Mike's shift was due to start, so, here they both were. And before Mike had even had half a chance to ask what the fuck was up with Richie showing up announced after they hadn't even talked to each other in... okay, Mike didn't even want to think about how many years.

There was a jar of honey on the bar.

Mike did not know why. It had been there when he had come in. It had been there when Tino had come in, too, apparently.

Neither of them had any real desire to do anything about it, so here was Mike, wiping down the counter and neatly going around the honey jar with his rag.

All the zombie band were playing tonight seemed to be film scores. Not that Mike actually recognized any of the tunes - it was just what they sounded like. Like maybe they were from epic superhero movies or something.

Because the zombie drummer also appeared to be wearing a cape.

Mike had no idea what any of that was about. He was just... trying his best to focus on his work and ignore all other distractions. Whether band-related or, sigh, his own personal shit.

June had not been a good month for business. For Caritas, sure, probably. But not for Mike Lane's Custom Designs. It felt like he'd been working his ass off - he definitely hadn't been doing much else, all month long - but there'd been some setbacks that meant that he wasn't getting as much money back as he'd hoped. And subsequently wasn't really able to give his only employee everything he deserved when it came to benefits and shit. And in truth, May hadn't been that much better, either.

It was starting to get to him, a little.

So it was a pretty quiet Mike behind the counter tonight. Going over his notes on his business's finances, whenever he had the time. Seeing if he was still doing okay when you looked at the big picture.

Mike was his regular, adult self. But he had been listening to the radio (and also walking around town, where there were way more teenagers out and about than usual, even for an island that revolved around a high school), so he knew what was going on.

So for a while at the beginning of his shift, he'd considered making a sign that reminded everyone that they served minors at this joint.

But then he'd decided against it. 'Cause he was a responsible adult, or something. So he was just making sure the bar was stocked with all those little paper umbrellas and shit like that. Wasn't that what teens liked? He could always claim he was too old to remember.

It was a pretty decent night at Caritas. Mike was in a good mood, the zombie band was playing something easy to groove to, and even Tino seemed to be... a certain Tino-level of okay.

Mike was sure this wasn't going to last, but for now? He'd definitely take it.

And dance for a few steps behind the bar, simply because he could.

Brooke worried that she was jinxing them by putting swimwear and more summery clothes in the window displays today, but she preferred to think that she was spurring on normal weather. Putting it out into the universe. Encouraging normalcy.

Sure, Mike had already sent Brooke a dozen roses through that whole Student Council thing. But nothing had stopped him from giving her another dozen when he'd picked her up at her place. 'Cause a total of two dozen roses was at least adequate, as far as grand gestures went, right?

And just in case it wasn't, he'd also made sure to dress up. Dark suit and everything. And boy, he was glad to find out it still fit like a glove 'cause, uh, it'd been a few years since he'd last had an occasion for wearing it.

There'd also been a rikshaw drive to the restaurant. Which he didn't think was ideal, by any means. But it was very Fandom. Which seemed fitting, in its own way.

And now, they were outside Taste of Thai, and Mike had stepped off the rikshaw, and was holding out his hand to help Brooke do the same. "Here we are," he said. "I promise the restaurant's gonna be less bumpy."

Someone had complained about the lingerie-clad would-be orgy in the store window today. Which was sort of offensive to Brooke, because she could have done way worse.

And in fact it was way worse until she got bored and changed it this morning before the complaining started. Like this was the worst anyone would see in this town.

Anyway, she was at the counter doing work for home, and still being a little annoyed. Her window was a masterpiece, dammit.

Kitty was back in town, for real, and she was kind of thrilled about it. She didn’t really want to be at home right now, though she was still helping in getting things settled, and it just felt really good to be here, doing normal things, and not having anyone try to kill anyone else for now.

Of course she said that, and found Zombie Yoko attempting (and failing) to hit the drummer over the head with her own arm, but you know what, it was still sort of... okay no, it wasn’t normal for anyone.

“Tino, can you put her arm back on before she gets zapped into the lake?”

Caritas was pretty quiet and normal tonight.

Except Mike kept finding lemons around the bar. Like, just randomly stashed in empty glasses or between various bottles of booze or rolling out from underneath the zombie drummer's drum set. At one point, Mike went to sit down, only to find a lemon on the bar stool that had definitely not been there a few seconds earlier.

There was only one thing to do:

Mike had survived Christmas. More or less, give or take a few serious hangovers while he'd distracted himself into oblivion until the holiday was over. But now it finally was, and Mike had returned.

He was vaguely aware that today was maybe the day of that whole picnic thing at the school. So that definitely played into what the specials board said:

TONIGHT'S SPECIALS
25% off the price of your drink if you're new!


New people, new things. Went with the theme of the next few days. Mike had always found New Year's a much easier holiday to deal with. Looking towards the future was way better than... what ever the fuck Christmas tended to be about.

That said, he was still reading a thing on his phone that was about looking back. In more ways than one. "Jesus Christ, Florida."

It was a quiet night at Caritas.

Metaphorically speaking, anyway. Because one of the zombies had somehow gotten hold of a trombone and was now giving his best shot at trying to play it. He wasn't at all good at it, although Mike was mostly caught up in trying to understand how he was managing to push enough air through his rotten lungs to get any kind of a sound out of it in the first place.

Also there were a couple of toy reindeer skittering around the stage. But those actually counted for a quiet night, in Fandom.

This weekend wasn't as busy as last weekend had been. Or at least not as crowded - not at Mike's house nor for the island in general.

He was okay with that. Ish.

Look, it wasn't as if that one conversation with Brooke wasn't kind of stuck in his head. Stuck with him. Though some of his furniture work had done its best to keep him occupied and busy. But, tonight? He was back behind the bar at Caritas. Just chilling. And regaling Tino with stories of some of his past Halloween costumes.

Mike kind of doubted too many people were coming by the bar today, what with the dance going on right during his shift, but whatever, he was here all the same. Ready to serve whoever decided the dance wasn't really their style. Like maybe they'd rather brood over a whiskey or something.

Not that he knew people like that. Perish the thought.

Mike hadn't actually worked a single shift at Caritas since the shark thing.

He'd wanted to help, he had. But this was because since the shark thing, most of his time left over from keeping his furniture business afloat had been going into repairing damage done by the goddamned sharks to his house. And it had been some major damage, at least for something he couldn't really afford to hire help for.

But he was just about done, now. The second floor was habitable, again. So he was at Caritas. Looking like he'd been working on a house by himself for almost a month straight.

So maybe don't order anything too complicated?

It was a holiday for the Aeslin mice and Verity had escaped the hotel room as soon as she'd could. One of the high priestesses had started making hopeful eyes at her while mentioning the possibility of a benediction. Verity was not prepared to offer some kind of prayer-slash-speech for a group of mice before at least two cups of coffee. And maybe a pastry or two. Which was why her hair was still wet from the shower and one of her shoes untied as she grabbed a seat and waited for her ridiculous concoction to finish being prepared.

She needed a job. Mostly because she needed a place to live that wasn't a hotel room. The Aeslin mice needed their own room; the small hotel closet wasn't cutting it anymore.

There was a themeless party happening at Caritas tonight. Like, sure, there were various kinds of party stuff and decorations around, but there wasn't an overarching theme to any of it. Beyond, maybe, just 'party'. In fact, there was a glittery gold banner hanging above the bar that just said #PARTY. As well as a sign out front that said the same.

Because sometimes people just needed a party, you know?

Tino was manning the bar where drinks could be had and random cardboard party crowns could be picked up. Meanwhile in the lounge, there were all manners of snacks on offer. Including three kinds of jello shots. Although maybe those should've been classified as drinks instead of snacks, 'cause the rest of the snacks were more in the more traditional chips and stuff kind of style. But whatever.

"Okay, I could have planned this better."

Verity stared up at the staircases and tiny streets that made her new home, her luggage in a small circle by her feet. She hadn't brought much with her--most of her belongings were being shipped to her once she found a place to live--but she definitely had enough to make hauling it all a pain. Especially the oversized Barbie Dream House that was nearly as tall as she was--and the colony of Aeslin mice that made it their home. At least they were still tucked away in their travel valise with a thick wedge of cherry tart and a couple of mini Babybel wheels. They were celebrating the sacred Rite Of Moving with the traditional cheese and cake and had been relatively quiet. Which Verity appreciated, as moving was difficult enough without having to try to explain a valise that was yelling "HAIL!" every few minutes.

After a moment of debate when she realized that, no, she couldn't just decide to camp out in this spot for the next year and another one when she also decided she couldn't just ditch her stuff and go exploring (from what she could see of the rooftops, this place looked amazing for free-running), Verity started organizing her belongings, trying to figure out how to combine them into the fewest trips.

"Hail to the move!" the valise squeaked. The shook as a number of voices returned, "HAIL!"

Verity pinched the bridge of her nose. She needed coffee to handle this.

It was business as usual at Caritas tonight. The techno coming from seemingly everywhere at once made it feel like the whole building was alive – and its pulse was feverish. Impossibly beautiful people were around, waiting to mingle with customers. Every once in a while, some of them shifted their appearance in a wave of binary code into something targeted to be more appealing to a specific customer.

Towards the back of the lounge, there was an area for VIP customers only. The bar served drinks, sure, but back there? Some mind-to-cyberspace connections of questionable legality were on offer to those with the means to pay for them.

And Mike was behind the bar, but distracted, tapping his fingers nervously against the edge of it. He had his reasons. Just... don't ask. Not that anyone would want to. He wasn't looking too good. If you wanted someone who looked like they'd slept at some point in the last three days, you needed Tino.

Tamsin had spent most of the past couple of days drinking and yelling at random Americans in the street.

She wasn't surprised by this recent bout of stupidity, but sometimes you had to vent.

... And apparently the island agreed, because she walked into the park that afternoon to find that, improbably, the sun was shining, warm and good and beautiful, down on the park. There was no rhyme or reason for it; everywhere else was cold as hell. But it was nice here.

And there was a large quantity of booze sitting under a tree.

Where had the staff come from? Nobody knew. But sometime at six in the morning, a group of people arrived in the park and immediately spread out over the premises, constructing a bunch of nondescript stands at a rapid pace. They set out cheap soft drinks on the picnic tables, put up some large banners, cleaned the place up and scared off a few errant flamingoes.

By seven, they had once again dispersed.

FANDOM EXPOSITION, read the large banner at the entrance to the park. MARKET! SHOPPING! FUN! (fun not guaranteed)

It was very possible that Mike was pretty bored and also pretty lonely tonight. (Actually he was lonely a whole l-- well, best not get into that right now.) He'd spent a long week working on various stuff. This? Was totally break time for him.

Yes. He came to work to take a break. Deal with it.

Caritas was open.
