Caritas: Friday Night

Dec 16, 2011 21:45

Fortunately, Fandom had been remembered back into existence after the sun had gone down, or Jessica would've been fairly crispy. As it was, she was psyched that everything seemed to be back to normal back in Louisiana -- with the exception of Sookie still being missing ( Read more... )

So... Hercules had offered Warren ice cream and an open ear once the Showcase was over. And Warren really wanted to take him up on that offer, but for a few things.

One, it was a little late in the evening for ice cream. And two? He really, really needed a drink. And that was why he was leading Herc into Caritas tonight, his eyes down on the floor while he tried to gather his thoughts.

"Hey, Warren," Jessica greeted him, glad to see a familiar face. "What can I get ya?"

Warren blinked up quietly, taking a moment to get his brain working properly again before offering her a little smile.

"I'm actually not all that choosy tonight," he admitted. "Something hard, I guess. You don't have to worry about making it cheap or anything. How are you tonight, Jessica?"

"How about Jägermeister?" Jessica suggested. She'd never tried that herself, but she'd heard it would knock you on your ass.

"I have no idea what that is," Warren reported. "It sounds perfect."

See, he needed Bobby and Tony around so that they could do hugely stupid things, now.

He'd make do with Jessica and Hercules.

"I think it's German," Jessica said, ducking down to pull the bottle out of the minifridge. "It's supposed to be pretty strong, I guess."

She poured a shot of the dark brown liquid and pushed it toward Warren. She was really curious to see his reaction once he drank it.

Warren stared at it for a moment. Was alcohol even supposed to be that color? Did Germany hate mouths?

"Well, bottoms-up, I guess?"

...

...

"Oh, god." Yeah. Warren was regretting knocking that one back right away. "You could run a car on that."

Jessica giggled. "I heard it tastes like cough syrup, that really strong stuff that puts you in a coma," she said.

And since she still had the bottle out, she offered, "Want another?"

"Please."

He put the shot glass down and nudged it her way.

... Nobody had ever accused Warren of having good taste, had they? Good taste and money weren't the same thing.

She poured another shot and pushed the shot glass back to him. "I read it takes over a year to make this stuff," she said, glancing at the back of the bottle.

Setting it aside, she looked him over. "So how come you're lookin' for the hard stuff tonight?" she said. "Something wrong?"

"I believe it," Warren decided, peering at the bottle and then knocking down the next shot. "They had to let whatever died in that batch sit until it all melted away. That takes time."

It was the only logical explanation.

"It's been a really, really long..." He made a face. Day? Week? Month? Year? "... Long. Thing. It's like one thing after another, I guess."

Jessica poured another shot without even asking this time, almost wishing she could give it a try. "That's what a bar is for," she said with a grin. "Forgettin' all that kind of stuff for a little while."

"Yeah," Warren agreed, offering her a shaky attempt at a smile. "I guess. Usually I just use bars as an excuse to get out with the guys and act like a complete idiot."

Which was... Also good. Right?

Jessica had to laugh at that. "Well, that's what bars are for, too," she agreed, pushing the third shot his way. "A couple more of those and you sure will be."

"Well, maybe more than just a couple." Stupid healing factor. "Just so long as you don't mind me flopping over barstools and pretending that I have a decent singing voice or something, I guess it isn't all that bad."

And losing your shirt, Warren. You forgot that part.
