Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

Kitty was still at work, still god damn pregnant, and really tired of it. And there was for some reason a cow in the bar, and it kept walking through everything (literally through) and chirping, and Tino wasn't any help because he kept running into the wall for no reason.

Anyway, she was here, annoyed and overheating, refusing to turn on the TV tonight for her own sanity, and if you caught her in a quiet moment, you might hear her looking down and threateningly murmuring, "Get out."

Seivarden sank down on her usual stool by the bar.

"A tequila pl... Aatr's tits, what the fuck!"

She was now sitting on the floor, having sunk all the way down through the stool.

[throughaphase]

"Yeah, that's been happening," Kitty sighed. "You okay?"

[1000yearstoolate]

"Yeah." Seivarden pushed herself up from the floor. "What's been happening? And what's the cow doing here?"

[throughaphase]

"I don't know. Fandom's doing a thing and I hate it," she said.

[1000yearstoolate]

"Can't it just make those zombies sink through the floor and disappear?" Seivarden said, not actually sounding too hopeful.

[throughaphase]

"No, but one dies have a blurry face today," she said helpfully.

The Rosa-shaped groove in the bar was just about to become, literally, Rosa-shaped.

It started out so normal, so simple, Rosa coming in, maybe stepping slightly more to the left than she usually would, heading straight for her usual spot at the bar, leaning forward into it with a "Hey, Kitty, can I get--"

And then continuing to lean into the bar until she stopped when her torso was half-way into it. She blinked, tried jerking back up, but, nope. She was stuck. In the bar. The actual, physical bar.

"What the hell?"

[throughaphase]

"Fandom's being stupid, it's been happening all night," Kitty told her. "Nothing seems to be permanent."

[died8yearsago]

"I...hope not!" Mild panic might have flashed in Rosa's eyes at that idea, shifting again, as if maybe she pulled back in a slightly different way, she could wedge herself out of the bar, but no such luck. "This is going to get really uncomfortable."

But, hey, at least there was still booze nearby?

"This ever happen to you? You just go through something and get...stuck?"

If this was anything like what Kitty had to deal with with her powers, Rosa was decidedly not a fan of them for herself, no.

[throughaphase]

There was a possibility that if Kitty got stuck like that she was probably dead, but she wasn't going to say that.

"I've gotten stuck intangible and I got wholly stuck in a space bullet once, but never like this," she said. "Drink?"

[died8yearsago]

Rosa would greatly appreciate her discretion there, yes, though, at the same time, she would have figured, hey, she had a good run. Once you started getting stuck into bars, maybe it was a solid time to call it quits at that point, it had to be all downhill from there, anyway.

Rosa shifted again, trying once more, futile as the last, though she did make about an inch of progress to one side. She tried lifting her arms, which only seemed to be able to move from the elbows down, which wasn't much help.

"Yes," she said. "And I hope you have straws."

[throughaphase]

"I do. The Diaz tonight?" She felt bad about people getting stuck in her bar.

[1000yearstoolate]

Seivarden placed a glass of tequila in front of Rosa. It disappeared into the bar.

"Aatr's tits, I hate this place," she muttered. "More than usual."

[died8yearsago]

"You're talking to a woman literally stuck in a bar right now," Rosa pointed out, rolling her eyes Seivarden's way mostly because she couldn't move her body much. And she tried. And she seemed to have moved a hand enough for a futile attempt in hopes that maybe if the tequila was disappearing into the bar, she could catch it or something, but nope. It was gone forever probably.

Which made her glad that at least she was stuck and not consumed by the bar like that drink.

"Goddammit."

[1000yearstoolate]

"I was trying to..." Seivarden made a gesture with her hand, trying to find the right word. "...cheer you up."

That had enough of sarcasm in it not to be confused with some kind of weird caring.

[died8yearsago]

Couldn't have that, no.

"The only thing that would cheer me up," said Rosa, "would be if you came waltzing in here with a saw to cut me out of here. Hey, Blackstone has a ton of saws, maybe someone could go get her."

Little did she know just how useless Blackstone would be right now, too.

"Or maybe if I tried kicking you right now, I'll get sent out to the duck pond. Let me try to kick you."

Kanan's torso seemed to be invisible this evening.

It was still there. He could feel it, his hands seemed to work just fine, his arms were connected to shoulders, breathing wasn't being affected at all, but when he looked down, there was just... kind of a weird shaded hollow at the top of his pants, where his waist would have ideally connected to the rest of him, his head and neck appearing from the void again up top.

"How badly would you judge me," he said, looking at Kitty as he took a seat, ass planted firmly in the air just a little to the left of the actual barstool, "if I were to say I need a drink tonight?"

He could put up with a lot of shit, but apparently today had been a little beyond the pale.

[throughaphase]

"If you said that then I would listen to your troubles and give you a Kanan," she told him. "With an extra umbrella."

[uncertain_dume]

"And that's exactly why I came here instead of finding my own," Kanan decided. "I'll take that extra umbrella, thanks."

He offered her a crooked smile, and his torso flickered back into view, leaving him armless, instead.

...

"And a straw."

[throughaphase]

"Coming right up," she said, then sighing when she remembered Tino was useless and started making it herself. "Is it just the current weirdness or something else that's up?"

[uncertain_dume]

"There's always something, isn't there?" Kanan shrugged a shoulder. At least he had enough shoulder left to shrug. "Home is beginning to get to that point where I can't pretend I'm not in over my head, people are throwing in for the cause, that on its own has been plenty. How've you been?"

[died8yearsago]

And of course, now that her Halloween Heist was over and she had other plans to move onto for her class, plans that would include asking Kanan something if he happened to come into the bar today, she would be stuck in the damn bar.

But she really wanted to get moving on this next class, so she was just going to have to suck it up.

"Hey, Kanan!" she called. "Come here for a sec."

Because she obviously wasn't going anywhere.

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan glanced over toward her, took careful note of the fact that she A) Was stuck in the bar and B) Had actually used his name, and then shrugged and wandered her way, the rest of his body reappearing as he went, though he seemed to be walking a good two feet off the ground the entire way.

"Hey, Rosa. What's up?"

...

"Besides the obvious."

[died8yearsago]

Considering what she'd done to that rattail, she would have just felt bad calling him Rattail, especially when she wanted something from him. He'd gained Actual Name Status a while ago, really.

"I wanna borrow your warehouse for my class next Tuesday."

[uncertain_dume]

Well, that earned a blink.

"My warehouse?"

Not technically his warehouse, he'd just kind of put a mark on the door and moved some of his crap into there. But he wasn't going to clarify that.

"What for?"
