Who: Juice, Becky, Kyle, Nica, Dot
Where: Sunset
When: Jan 14
Juice wore his sunglasses at night - which caused him to bump into the door as he came out of the bathroom he'd just cleaned. "Ow- damnit, being a star is painful."
Becky also had sunglasses on, and she was insisting that other people take pictures of her. She was a star, after all
Kyle was looking deeply amused.
Nica was wearing sunglasses, but she was Nica. She was settled at her table, looking happy and sipping a drink.
"Sunglasses at night- fuck that song," Juice said, taking his off and rubbing his head. "It isn't as cool as they make it out to be."
"If you just have people take your picture, it's not so bad." BEcky said
"And if you're sitting still, it's not even an issue," Nica said. "The trick is looking over, under, or around them when you're moving around."
"Incidentally, aren't people looking for you or something?" Kyle asked Becky.
"I thought they gave up." Becky said "And once my Papa gets better, we'll probably get a mansion with armed guards or something. That's what movie stars have, right?"
"Oh snap, yeah... I hope the Watchers aren't going to be all 'there she is'," Juice said.
"Riiiight. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop," Kyle said. "Just don't say nobody warned you."
"A mansion and a yacht," Nica said with a nod.
"Anyhow, this rockstar just finished cleaning the shitters," Juice said, and settled behind the bar with Kyle
"Ain't showbiz great?" Kyle asked.
"You could be cleaning the shitters at Caesar's Palace one day," Nica said optimistically.
"You could have the honor of touching golden toilets," Kyle agreed.
"Woo," Juice said. "Someday I'll be touching the crapper of the stars."
Nica flipped her sunglasses up on top of her head. "So, wow ... this should be a blast, Has anyone seen a script yet?"
"No." Becky shrugged
"Don't look at me, I have the star power of a dead firefly," Kyle quipped.
Dot was busy tonight, moving from table to table taking orders and chatting with the gloomy goths.
"A dead firefly could have a lot of star power." Becky said "Especially if it was on display somewhere."
"Or on TV," Nica said.
"You're sexy though," Juice said, kissing Kyle.
Kyle grinned and kissed.
"So what's up with everyone tonight?" Juice asked.
"I'm practicing being a star." Becky said
"What about you?" asked Becky
"Just relaxing while the papier mache dries," Nica said.
"I'm contemplating whether I should finish my math homework now, or in homeroom," Juice said. "What paper mache?"
"I'm serving you," Kyle answered matter-of-factly.
"I'm making a monster head for the party," Nica said.
Kyle snickered.
"Ooh, are we invited?" Juice asked.
"It's an 'Oh-Shit-We're-Going-To-Be-In-A-Movie' party," Nica said. "So ... yeah, you're a guest of honor."
"Can I come too?" Kyle asked.
"Awesome! Kyle and Dot too, right? 'Cause they're not in the movie, but they're the super-awesome-entourage of the stars," Juice said.
"They have to come." Becky said "Right?"
"And Ethan has to come" Becky added
Nica nodded. "Yep. It should be fun."
Dot slumped onto a barstool. "Whew. Goths are so demanding."
"Dot, you're coming to a party, that you have to be at." Becky said
"What'd they demand you to do?" Kyle asked.
"I am? I do? But, what sort of party?" Dot blinked.
"The good kind," Nica said. "B-movie theme. Costume optional."
"They demanded that I bring them multiple little orders instead of one big order because they couldn't make up their minds," Dot said to Kyle. "That's why i was up here half a million times."
"And don't lick the customers, you don't know where they've been," Nica added.
"She's licking the customers?" asked Becky
"No, but that's how rumors get started," Nica said, and chuckled.
"I am not licking the customers. Shush you." Dot swatted at Nica, grinning.
Nica giggled. "Well, you weren't clear at first about what they were demanding."
Kyle grinned. "Nica and Juice are going to be playing lovers."
"I'm going to be the star." Becky said "Because I'll be talking to the monster."
"That's so freaky," Juice said. "I hope there's no girl-kissing. No offense, Nica."
"Well ... more like ... plot-device ingenue with some good lines," Nica said. "As for me and Juice, I'm pretty sure we'll get killed off."
"Omg, do you think we're gonna die?" Juice frowned. "Lame."
Dot giggled. "The two of you? Are you the fighty type, because, you know.."
"Well, we're lovers in a horror movie," Nica said. "If we're not the main characters, then we probably die ... probably during or immediately after having sex." She made a face. "I wonder if we have a sex scene."
Kyle snickered. "Probably in the middle of the woods."
Juice turned pale.
"Don't worry," Nica said, "I'll be gentle."
Dot laughed aloud.
"So... you two have to play straight. It's so easy to be straight." Becky said
"Said the straight girl," Nica said, and clicked her tongue.
"Yeah, just grope each other and look cute,"
Kyle commented.
Becky nodded.
Dot giggled again. "And try not to look like the other one's got the cooties."
Nica eyed Juice. "You have to, like, not jump out of your skin when I grope you, too," Nica said.
".... I don't want to be groped by anyone but Kyle," Juice said.
"Twenty bucks says he faints," Kyle said, to nobody in particular.
"Maybe you guys should practice." Becky suggested
"NO!" Juice said.
"Kyle! Gimme your hands please," said Dot.
Nica grinned. "Hey, I'm game."
Kyle looked amused. "I'm bartending right now."
"Nica, don't scare him before filming ever starts," said Dot.
Dot leaned over the bar and peered at Kyle's hands. "I suppose they look delicate enough," she said, and grinned.
Nica smiled. "That's why they call it acting."
"You guys are freaks- I'm going to go clean something," Juice said, and scurried off for the kitchen looking disgruntled.
Nica looked at Becky. "Right, Bex?"
Kyle snickered. "Twenty bucks. Any takers?"
"Um, right." Becky nodded
Dot laughed again. "You guys are not fooling anyone."
"Yes, we get it, you two made out," Kyle added, "relax."
Nica laughed.
Juice sulked in the kitchen for a while.
Kyle conducted business and took amusement in sulk.
"What's up?" asked Lisa, to the Juice. She was working, and Raul was on a break somewhere
Dot made an 'aw' noise, which sounded just like someone saying 'aw'.
Raul was actually rolling a marble down the back hallway of the Sunset. He rolled it, tipped his head as it curved slightly to the left, then retrieved it.
"Eh, just avoiding my friends," Juice said. "What's up with you?"
Dot chuckled and went to see if any more goths needed anything.
"Making food with sadness for the goths, and waiting for Raul to come back so I can slack a little." Lisa said "Why're you avoiding them? You all seem to be a tight group."
" 'Cause they're teasing me," Juice said, sulking more.
"Well, did you ask them to stop?" asked Lisa
"No, I came in here," Juice said.
"Don't let them get to you too much. They all like you." Lisa said "You've got a group of friends that people would kill to have."
"...I hope no one kills to get my friends. That's totally a posibility in Sunnydale," Juice said. "What's Raul doing, anyhow? I was going to get some wings while I was in here. Or are you cooking tonight?"
Raul headed back into the kitchen. "You want wings? Cthul'wings?" he asked.
"He was taking a break... and no one *should* do that." Lisa frowned though. SHe kept hearing bad things about the town. She dropped some wings in the fryer
"Oh heck no," Juice said. "Mild, please."
"Oh good. I don't even know why they make those crazy Cthul'wings. You're just asking for an ulcer if you eat those." Lisa said
"Wasabi," Raul said. "That is why they green. Lots of wasabi."
Lisa finished up the wings, and handed them over to the Juice.
Juice took the wings. "Thanks! I guess I'll give my friends another chance not to suck now."
"I'm sure they didn't mean to make you sulky." Lisa waved "See you later."
Juice padded out with his wings
"Hey guys," he said.
"Hey, Juicy," Kyle called.
Dot waved to Juice when she came back from serving food. "Hi mister."
"Hey," Juice said, and sat his wings down on the bar. "Anyone wanna share?"
Kyle grinned and snagged. "Sure."
Dot carefully picked out the least-messy wing.
Juice munched the meaty goodness. "Mm... wings."
Dot nibbled. "Satsu's gonna be let out soon, or so we hear. She'll still have to do lots of therapy, but at least she won't be at the hospital as much."
"That's good. So did what's her name get staked yet?" Kyle asked.
Dot shook her head. "I don't know that. I'm gonna start self-defense classes, too!"
"Oh yeah? Sweet! I take some of those at the Academy," Juice said.
"Really? We might be in the same class then. That would be nice. I'm kinda nervous," admitted Dot.
"It's kinda fun sometimes," Juice said. "Unless y'know.. it's something sucky"
Dot nodded. "I never.." She shook her head and started again. "I've been saying 'I never' waaaay too much since I moved here, but I never had to worry about self-defense before." She sighed.
"Obviously, you lived somewhere that wasn't California," Kyle commented.
Dot nodded. "Colorado. Granite City. I thought for sure I told you guys that, didn't I?"
"Yeah, I think so," Juice said.
Dot nodded. "It's a nice place. I should take you guys there sometime. We've still got some family back there, and my parents love you guys."
"That'd be awesome," Juice said. "I like to travel."
Dot smiled. "I'm so glad you all get along. I was worried, you know."
"Really? Your folks are cool," Juice said.
"I know, it's kinda irrational, but I was still worried. It helps that you're both such good boys." Dot smiled again.
