It's like paradise, spread out with a butter knife :: [OPEN]

Who: EVERYONE
What: Réjean has decided that more people ought to celebrate and help raise a bit of dosh for one of his favourite bars. See: flyer.
Where: The Apache.
When: Misdi night and into the wee hours of the morning.
Warnings: Discussion of Pickman's manky feet.

The Apache is much the same as it always is: dimly lit, with the jukebox playing in the background, and the bartender serving whatever's on tap. Tonight, the bar is packed with people from all across the city, different cantons and cohorts, all out to celebrate surviving the fungal plague. Patrons are encouraged to buy tickets for a door prize with the proceeds going to repair the damage tunnelling ants made to the cellar.

"Hellboy! Hi!"

And yes, that is totally an appraising gaze sweeping over you, sir. She notes that he appears to be in better condition than when last they talked; satisfied, she offers him a smile.

"Not bad, thanks. Glad to see you here, how are you?"

"Almost back to normal." He quickly looks her over as well, although it may be a bit less obvious with his solid orange eyes. His eyesight isn't outright superhuman, but it's a bit better than average, and he picks out the mostly-hidden black eye with a click of his tongue. "I hope you paid the shadow back for that."

When the bartender shows up, Hellboy says, "Just water for me, thanks," then shrugs at the dirty face he gets in return. He looks over at Rachel. "You?"

Her hand goes to her cheek unconsciously. "I did," she assures him, leaving out the part where she fought a shadow with a shadow because she's still trying, with the people outside her team, to maintain that whole I'm just as normal as everyone else, what are you talking about identity.

"A beer, please. Thank you." The bartender turns away and Rachel shoots an equally dirty look at his retreating back--it's none of his business if a big red guy wants a damn glass of water and not some booze, God.

"It's nice to see everyone celebrating. I think we could use it after all the crap lately."
hehaseatenthepancake: (goofy grin)

[personal profile] hehaseatenthepancake 2011-08-12 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hellboy smiles. "Good for you." It's important to keep those moving shadows in line, after all.

The bartender's problem was probably more about Hellboy not ordering a drink he'd be charged for than anything else. Still, at least it's delivered in a clean glass, along with Rachel's beer.

"Yeah. After the first invasion, Hellsing had a barbecue, but that was just as much a meet-and-greet for all the new folks in the organization."

"Thanks." She couldn't agree more--especially about her own shadow.

She smiles. "A barbecue's a great idea. People work best when they know each other reasonably well, I think. And when they get a chance to see what their coworkers are like outside the line of duty. That's something we didn't get a chance to have before all this questing business--probably would've helped your team, huh?"

"It's a nice idea, but..." He shakes his head. "It probably wouldn't have done us any good. Some folks are just committed to being a pain in the ass, regardless of context. Ultimately, it's best to just get on with it and let them decide whether they're going to stick around or go home."
gotbottle: (expounding)

[personal profile] gotbottle 2011-08-13 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah." She sighs, shrugging slightly. "That's too bad, but what are you gonna do, right? At least it's over. And we survived. That's worth celebrating."

[personal profile] hehaseatenthepancake 2011-08-15 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
"It is indeed." He holds up his glass of water. "A toast: To survival, and victory while we're at it."
gotbottle: (confidence)

"I'll definitely drink to that," she says, raising her own glass in salute before bringing it to her lips.

"So how's the couch working out for you?"
hehaseatenthepancake: (just woke up)

[personal profile] hehaseatenthepancake 2011-08-17 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Pretty well. I'd found another one at a different place that was also sturdy and comfy enough, but it was a hideous shade of brown so I would've had to cover it up with a blanket or something. I got a couple of easy chairs, too. Not quite the same color as the couch, but I think they go okay."

Yes, indeed, Hellboy: Interior Decorator. (No.)
gotbottle: (eyes)

[personal profile] gotbottle 2011-08-17 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
She waves a hand, smiling. "Matching the decor is, like, overrated. Seriously. If it's comfortable and it works, that's what matters. Especially here where our choices are kinda limited. I mean, it's not like we can order something online if we can't find what we like in the store."
hehaseatenthepancake: (I can change things)

[personal profile] hehaseatenthepancake 2011-08-17 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
He shrugs. "I never did much of that back home, anyway. I could manage e-mail okay, but me and computers..." He shakes his head. "Not the greatest combination, never mind the rest of the Internet."

Someone's an old fogey.

"I was probably a little too addicted," Rachel admits. "It was bad enough when I was home but when I moved across the country for work I started relying on it to keep in touch with everyone. Which became my excuse for checking things a million times a day, I guess. It's good there's nothing like that here, I'd be all over that too."
