Caritas, Saturday evening

[iqof39]

D'Argo knew today was graduation, he knew there would be people headed in to do a lot of drinking. That happened when people got their first real taste of Fandom.

So today there was a sign:

Furst rownd on the house for tramatizzed Fandom new bees

A zombie wrote it. So really, that was impressive.

The Bar

Or just get stinking drunk and embarrass them THAT way.

Leaving his sister for a while - although she had told him she would show up later - Simon found a place by the bar and ordered a glass of what he hoped was a good wine. It turned out to be drinkable but then he couldn't be fussy nowadays.

Romeo was puzzled as he entered the bar. He'd been in Virginia; now he was in Greece. Even if he and Yurika hadn't been planning it, even without not-Juliet, this required drinking.

"But I just don't understand where the fairies came from," he told her, for about the 500th time.

"Don't understand," she said, giving him a firm push through the door. "Just be happy they weren't trying to kill us." What? The new graduates had handled the situation just fine.

"Now, let's celebrate being seniors in style. What can I get the fine gentleman?"

Re: The Bar

[withoutverona]

"Would we could have fought them," Romeo said regretfully. "But I will try to be happy, as the lady requests."

"And I think he would like a vodka tonic."

Re: The Bar

[dojima_hime]

Dōjima rolled her eyes and smirked as she flagged down Tino. "Boys. Always looking for a fight, I swear. I wouldn't want to face down a fairy lord!"

Re: The Bar

[withoutverona]

"But they turned to mud so easily," Romeo protested, still sad he had missed the fight. "It seemed like almost every graduate killed at least one."

Re: The Bar

[dojima_hime]

"Perhaps we should go for a walk in the park tonight? Make sure they've all gone?" See? Dōjima could be subtle when needed. "Maybe we'll find a few to chase down to the beach."

Re: The Bar

[withoutverona]

He laughed, appreciating both the attempt at subtlety and the invitation. "Perhaps," he agreed. "Though the beach might be nicer yet without company. And this week we can walk over into Greece."

And that was a weird sentence, there.

Re: The Bar

[dojima_hime]

Dōjima groaned and dropped her head to the bar. "One of these days, this island is going to break me, I know it."

"However, this is weirdness I intend to use. I'm going over to Greece, and laying out on the beach for an entire day. Fandom can randomly vanish on me if it wants, I do not care. There is sand and food and ouzo, and I intend to take advantage of it."

Re: The Bar

[withoutverona]

"I think you're right and it wants to break us all," Romeo said. "It's not always such a bad ride, though." It gave him present company, for example.

"But I am with you for all of that save the ouzo. And if the island vanishes, worse things have happened."

Re: The Bar

[dojima_hime]

"How can you like absinthe and not ouzo?" she teased, accepting their drinks from Tino. "If we get left-behind, we'll bum around Europe on my father's credit card until he notices and tosses us on the next plane back to the States."

Re: The Bar

[withoutverona]

Romeo took a long sip of vodka tonic before answering. "I don't like licorice," he grimaced. "I tolerated it more than enough in Paris."

Far, far, far more than enough, really.

"Do you think it's wise to put me on your father's credit card?" Because that was clearly the only flaw in the plan.

Re: The Bar

[dojima_hime]

"Try the ouzo sometime with raspberry syrup and lemonade," she suggested, sipping her own drink thoughtfully. "My father would have to notice, which means someone in finance would have to tell him. I think I have most of them suitably bribed and/or cowed enough not to talk. If they did, well, there would be yelling. Possibly the threat of getting pulled from the school, but he wouldn't follow through. It's safer for him to keep me here than at home."

Re: The Bar

[withoutverona]

"That sounds girly but not bad," Romeo said, filing the cocktail recipe in the (rather large) part of his brain devoted to such things. "I always learn something from you."

He flashed a grin. "So it's pay for us in Europe, or there's a Dojima rampant in Tokyo?"

Re: The Bar

[dojima_hime]

"Pretty much, and the last time I went on a bender in Tokyo, um, I ended up on a plane to some boarding school in America!" Dōjima raised her glass in a toast and beamed angelically. "He really doesn't want a repeat of that."
