Caritas- Sunday

Dec 15, 2013 14:50

Right, so Kitty had no idea what had happened today, but she'd gotten to hit things and hopefully never had to hear Handsome Jack's voice again so she was going to call it a success ( Read more... )

Sam hadn't been to one of the bars on the island in a while, and oh, it was time. It was totally time.

"I'll start with a double scotch, please," she said, sounding very sure of herself while also looking more than a little bit flustered.

"Should I be surprised that this place is open tonight?"

Re: Bar throughaphase December 15 2013, 23:11:14 UTC

"Not really," Kitty said with a little smile as she started getting the drink together. "It's been a long week, thought I should open in case people needed it."

Re: Bar playsforkepesh December 15 2013, 23:18:36 UTC

"Well, it's very considerate of you," Sam said firmly, smiling. "It's a bit less unsettling to be just one of a bar full of people drinking off the terror."

Re: Bar throughaphase December 15 2013, 23:21:55 UTC

"Not a fan of the big event days?" Kitty said sympathetically.

Re: Bar playsforkepesh December 15 2013, 23:29:48 UTC

"Not particularly," Sam agreed. "I'm not much of a fighter, myself. I mean, I got basic firearms training, but it was just one two-hour class! In a quiet shooting range, no less. Nothing like all the chaos with those... tire men."

She shook her head, frustrated. "What about you?"

Re: Bar throughaphase December 15 2013, 23:35:15 UTC

Kitty shrugged as she passed over the drink. "I come from someplace where this sort of thing happens a lot, and I've been here for two years. After a while it feels pretty normal. Plus, hitting things can be cathartic."

Re: Bar playsforkepesh December 15 2013, 23:54:56 UTC

"I suppose it might be, when you're not wheezing and trying to get away," Sam conceded, accepting the drink with a smile and a "Thank you."

"It does look rewarding. Well, not the sprinting back from the New-U machine, but the rest of it."

Re: Bar throughaphase December 16 2013, 00:39:40 UTC

"That's probably the first time I've heard it called rewarding," Kitty said thoughtfully. "I guess it always fell in those 'do what you have to do' categories."

Re: Bar playsforkepesh December 16 2013, 02:21:35 UTC

"Well, if it's cathartic, as you say," Sam ventured. "But I should reiterate that I'm coming from a place of zero experience here. I just do the tech work for the people who actually do the combat."

Re: Bar throughaphase December 16 2013, 02:28:45 UTC

"Which sounds like a much better place." Because Kitty was fully aware that what she did was insane.

Re: Bar playsforkepesh December 16 2013, 02:42:52 UTC

"It is," Sam agreed. "There's nothing like reinforced walls and great interstellar distances between yourself and combat to make you feel safe, I've always found."

Re: Bar throughaphase December 16 2013, 02:46:54 UTC

Kitty smiled, and wondered, "You never wanted to see what it was you were helping with?"

Re: Bar playsforkepesh December 16 2013, 02:57:09 UTC

"Not particularly," Sam admitted. "I'm not great under pressure - the life-threatening kind, at least - and my tolerance for seeing blood is lower than it probably should be, so. It's best that I don't try, I think."

She thought so, anyway.

Re: Bar throughaphase December 16 2013, 03:09:47 UTC

"In that case, I'm so sorry for this town." Since this sort of thing tended to happen up to three times a year and all.

Re: Bar 1stinkinpercent December 16 2013, 00:05:51 UTC

"So."

Riley wandered in and took a seat. He tapped his hands against the bar and looked around.

"That was new."

For him, it was a first!
