Eightieth Song - Open Caritas Post

[mysticalvender]

[It's a normal night in Caritas. People are badly slaughtering well known classics, while other people drunkly listen to them, somehow thinking they're the best singers who ever lived. Same old show as usual. Lorne winces as someone hits a particularly bad high note]

Oh honey, I think the blackbird is singing in the dead of night for a reason.

[LORNE! Have a Xander walking in the door! He's grinning and waving, and what's the first thing he does? STUMBLES!

but he also catches himself. HA! Not yet, Lorne. Not yet.]

Whoaaa....tricky first step there.

[mysticalvender]

[Of course not yet. Lorne chuckles]

That's why we watch our feet when we come in, Pumpkin Pie.

[mr_stealthypnts]

[comes straight over to the bar]

Mmmmm pie. Fred made some great pie yesterday. Did you get any?

[mysticalvender]

I did, that girl knows how to make a great home cooked meal. Uh....the Earth-home kind anyway.

[embattles]

[She's not scheduled today, but she'll be popping in here to avoid facing her first year anniversary here today. She's still not sure how she should feel about it, and avoiding it seems easier. So have her randomly appearing at your side, as she's good at that]

Can I still work here if I wear earplugs from now on?

[mysticalvender]

[Lorne can understand THAT feeling only too well]

Hey, so long as you can still serve with a smile. No one wants burst eardrums.

[embattles]

I think I can handle that. [Just...She cringes at a particularly sharp note] So tell me these aren't regulars.

[mysticalvender]

No, this is a whole new gang of crazies, come to reinvent the Beatles. If ever there was a time that the phrase 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' needed to be used...

[bro_codebreaker]

And there's an even better reason why it had broken wings, yeah?

[oh hey, there is a Stinson lounging at your bar, nursing a scotch. how do?]

[mysticalvender]

[Sup, bro?]

You hit the nail right on the head, Barnster. Yewouch, I didn't think it was possible to ruin that song.

[bro_codebreaker]

The only song that cannot be ruined by bar karaoke is Louie Louie. C'mon, Lorne.

[mysticalvender]

Can't blame a guy for holding some false hope, right?

/ALL the Lorne CR

[Ray's had a nice wander around town, today, and decides to round off his day with a trip to Caritas. he's never been when it's been busy, after all, so he figures it'll be an entirely new experience.

well

he was right, at least...? he wiggles a finger in one ear as he ambles up to the bar and grabs himself a stool, waiting until he catches Lorne's eye to wave and grin]

[mr_stealthypnts]

[HEY RAY! XANDER'S HERE! HE'S GONNA BE UNCONSCIOUS SOON!]

[ectobabble]

[FUNNY THING THAT

because once the two of them have gotten several beers and some ridiculously inane small talk under their belts, Ray will have a bright idea]

Hey. Hey, Xander. We should totally sing somethin'! Show 'em how the pros do it!

1/3

[Drawn to this place by the horrendous crooning--or maybe it was the powerful magic keeping it a safezone.

Either way, there's a half naked winged man in your bar looking a little confused while he takes this all in. What]

[mysticalvender]

[Staring]

...Okay, I gotta give you props, I've never had a customer like you before.

[matchmaker]

[Hey, he's just as surprised to see a horned green man approach. It doesn't exactly faze him--his best friends are satyrs so he's used to that sort of thing.

Up until now he hasn't met anyone of the non-human variety here, so he'll do some staring of his own]

This tavern belongs to you?

[mysticalvender]

Tavern, haven't heard that one for a while. And it sure is, welcome to Caritas, Honey Pie.
