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?"

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?"

[uncertain_dume]

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]

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

[throughaphase]

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

[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."

[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?"

[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?"

[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."

[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]

"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?"

[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."

[throughaphase]

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

[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."

[died8yearsago]

On the one hand, there was the logistics about actually being able to reach her wallet right now, but, on the other hands.

"Not unless we get rid of the Coke," she said, feeling she might need to go a bit harder tonight, but that did remind her what she was going to ask when she walked in, before she got stuck in the bar. "Hey, did Tino add the Captain Tightpants to the list?"

If he didn't, she was going to kick his ass.

Sometime.

When she wasn't in the bar. Or in the bar.

[throughaphase]

"Still got a freaking baby in me," she said, setting down his drink.

Which said some things.

[throughaphase]

"I haven't looked," she said, getting a glass. And straw. "What's the Captain Tightpants?"

[uncertain_dume]

"That you do," Kanan confirmed, grimacing in sympathy. "Soon, though?"

Agonizingly soon, at this point?

[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?"

[throughaphase]

"There's not even a point to her being in there! She's just getting bigger and making it harder to do stuff! She's gonna come out grounded."

Handling this well.

[uncertain_dume]

"Fortunately, her 'grounded' years will be spent eating, sleeping, probably crying now and then," Kanan mused. "Just think, it'll be that much more of a relief when you've got her in your arms, instead."
