Caritas- Saturday

Jaina wasn't letting any of yesterday's down feeling get to her today, because she repressed like a champ. Besides, her last shift here wasn't till next week, and so any melancholy could at the very least be postponed

"I'm afraid to ask how throwing glasses is fun, because I'm afraid it'll end in someone-" Tino. "-trying it," she said.

Anyone who couldn't see how that was fun, obviously had a slightly different outlook from her.

"Greeks do it and no one seems to give a shit," Effy pointed out. "Why not the rest of us?"

"I'd rather go to the gym and hit a bag," Jaina said thoughtfully. "Less sweeping involved." Apparently she was stuck on sweeping today, who knew.

Re: Bar

[pastmewrong]

"Well. Each to their own." You wouldn't catch her trying that one. Probably just break a finger.

"Can think of stress relief I'd take over that." And often did. "Other than glass smashing."

Re: Bar

Jaina raised her eyebrows. She'd never really thought of destroying anything as therapy, more like something that maybe felt good when you accidentally smashed something in the course of doing something else. Totally different. "Do you smash a lot of glasses?"

Re: Bar

[pastmewrong]

"No." Couldn't actually say she did. "Your bar's safe," she promised, lifting her drink with a smirk. "Don't worry." Her destructive tendencies were mostly kept to herself.

Besides, she rather liked it here, and getting tossed out wasn't in her plans for the evening.

"You beat the stuffing out of a lot of punching bags?"

"At least once a day, barring invasions or kids running around or whatever," she nodded. "Though I can also call it training and that makes it more socially acceptable."

Re: Bar

[pastmewrong]

Effy breathed a laugh. "Yeah?" It was a pity she really wasn't into that sort of thing enough to pull that off.

"Always been a bit shit at 'socially acceptable'." Besides, socially accepted sounded a little dry.

After last week, Katniss figured she might owe an apology to the bartender who'd had to suffer her overly-cheerful six year-old self, and despite her desire to just hide away and pretend it had never happened, she found herself heading into the bar to take a seat.

And sure enough, the woman behind the bar was the one she'd remembered, so that was...fortunate? "What's something good that's non-alcoholic?" she asked curiously, putting aside the urge to order milk or water or juice. If she was going to a bar, she might as well treat herself -- though there was no need to go too far.

This girl's presence felt familiar, though Jaina didn't recognize her right away. "We've got sodas and iced tea, or I can make a Shirley Temple or daiquiri without alcohol," she offered.

Re: Bar

[thegirl_onfire]

"I don't know what either of those last two are," Katniss said thoughtfully, "which means I should probably try one. Whatever a daiquiri, please."

"Got an objection to strawberry?" she asked, going for what seemed to be the most popular kind. And maybe she was studying her a little, wondering if she knew her.

Re: Bar

[thegirl_onfire]

"Strawberries are wonderful," Katniss decided, nodding. "Though I'll never live it down if you put an umbrella in that and it makes the radio."

Re: Bar

[solo_sword]

"Will you live it down if I put the umbrella on the side?" Jaina wondered, getting the drink together.

Re: Bar

[thegirl_onfire]

"Only if it's folded," Katniss decided thoughtfully. "Is the umbrella mandatory?"
