Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

After running herself ridiculously ragged since September, Kitty was taking the summer off from teaching. And she had just over a month left before the Xavier School went on whatever passed for summer break there, but senioritis was setting in there. Sooo, Kitty was bored, and therefore scribbling party ideas on a napkin.

Éponine was also bored, and feeling a bit sociable today.

"Have you got any ideas for something amusing to do?" she asked, practically flinging herself down onto a stool.

Hi to you too, Éponine.

"Yes, help me come up with party ideas," Kitty said immediately.

Re: Bar

[filleauloup]

"What sort of party?" Éponine asked, with a brief laugh. "How fast you were to answer that! Good lord, you must be as bored as I am."

"I'm down a job this summer, I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself," Kitty said. "I'm not sure what kind of party yet. That's the part I'm trying to figure out."

"Down one, hmm? And that's how many you're left with now?" teased Éponine. "And here you are, trying to find ways to keep busy. What party, though?"

She tapped a finger against her chin and idly swiveled back and forth on the stool.

"There's the question, isn't it? S'pose that depends on how much trouble you want to go to. Where would this party be?"

Re: Bar

"Two jobs still." Technically three. "And I'm thinking the party might be here because Tamsin's trying to talk me into karaoke."

There's no stealth if you tell people, Kitty.

"Good enough," Éponine said. "And you're less likely to have someone knock over an expensive trinket or some such here than if you had people over to your place. Besides, there'll be plenty to drink, and that'll be good for getting people to sing."

She paused.

"And making it sound better to everyone else, besides."

"Clint and I don't have much in the way of expensive trinkets," Kitty smiled. "I just haven't talked to him about having it at the house. But the drinking and the fact that the karaoke stuff is already here is a definite plus."

"Will you make Tino help with the party?" Éponine asked. "It wouldn't do for you to not be able to enjoy it yourself. I'll help too, for that matter."

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"I usually have him tend bar while I play hostess," Kitty said. "If you want to help, though, I'd never turn that down."

Re: Bar

[filleauloup]

Well, she would feel more justified in helping herself to the alcohol if she helped with the party, so there was that.

"I'd be happy to," Éponine said, because ulterior motives aside she actually would be. "It would be amusing to watch everyone make fools out of themselves on the stage, too."

Who, her? Trying to set up possible excuses for not getting up on stage herself? Why, no.

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"Aww, you wouldn't get up there?"

See, that right there was why Kitty was wary of actually doing the karaoke thing.

Re: Bar

[filleauloup]

Well, maybe if someone could talk her into Janis Joplin or something. Maybe Bob Dylan? Her singing voice was basically nonexistent. Which, granted, didn't stop her from singing to herself most of the time, but actually getting up in front of people?

"And scare off the guests?" Éponine laughed as if she wasn't self-conscious about it, and shook her head. "No, but if you want someone to make other people do it, I'll volunteer for that. Trick them, if I have to."

Re: Bar

[throughaphase]

"I feel like I'd need you to do that," Kitty sighed. "The problem is no one ever wants to go up there. So I'm worried I'm going to try to do it and then everyone's going to be like 'No, I don't want to' and then there's no point."

Re: Bar

[filleauloup]

"Well, then, we'll just have to give them reasons to," Éponine said, and nodded. "A contest of some kind? Only for silly things, too, like who's the best at doing badly on purpose, or coming up with the most ridiculous costume to wear on stage."

Re: Bar

"I considered a prize but Tamsin said it'd be easier and cheaper to just spring it on everyone," Kitty said. "Maybe it'd be easier to go with something else."
