Adrian had spent the week as a gerbil.

A gerbil.

Tonight he was back to normal, and thank god. And if he was smoking and drinking more than usual, it had nothing to do with keeping crazy at bay, and everything to do with the fact that he had opposable thumbs again.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

There wasn't really anything different about today. Nope, Adrian was here slightly not on time, making Tino do all the work, and he was totally 100% not plastic.

See, nothing different.

[Around but distracted!]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian had expected a pretty normal night at work his first day back from home. And while it probably would be quiet like usual, there was no Tino. Instead, there was Jaina, who had switched shifts with Tino when she'd been out of town this weekend, and apparently had no idea that Tino had ditched out on Saturday ~~cuz the player failed at posting it~~.

Even from opposite ends of the bar, all Adrian could think was shit, he'd actually have to work today.

[Had to try something new. Either person's pingable, idc.]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

The zombie drummer was having an issue today. Its wrist just refused to stay attached to his hand. When you're a drummer, this tends to be a problem. The first time Tino went to reattach it without a problem because Adrian sure as hell wasn't doing that. The second time there was an eyeroll as Tino went to rereattach it, and upon the third time, Adrian finally just advised him to leave it onstage where it was. Just easier for everyone that way.

At least the band sounded interesting tonight.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian got into work almost on time for once, which somehow felt wrong considering he might have still been a little hungover from this morning. He got in, made himself a drink he wasn't touching yet, lit a cigarette and Tino did nothing weird.

Every business had to have a normal day of work every once in a while.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

So, Adrian brought the kitten in to work today. He hadn't wanted to, but it seemed intent on destroying anything in its path today and rather than leave it in his room to do so, he brought it here. Hey, at least Tino was here to clean up anything it ruined, right?

Of course the second they got there, the kitten curled up and went to sleep on a towel or rag, or something. Which just figured.

And upon seeing that, Tino just stopped talking to Adrian for the rest of the night.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian was trying something new today. Bored with his usual, he just fixed himself a drink at random, one he'd never tried before. At least, one he could never remember trying.

Since that didn't kill him, he thought maybe his next drink would be something more random. But till he got to that point, he'd just be behind the bar, "working."

[*fixes a thing, la*

Around, but it took me 40 minutes to write this post, so I might be a little slow.]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

For some weird reason, Adrian really wanted to get drunk by the end of the night. Granted, the way he could do this it'd probably be hard to tell drunk!Adrian from just regular old drinking!Adrian, but it'd happen.

He made himself a drink upon getting behind the bar, and Tino just shook his head at him.

"You can make one for yourself," Adrian pointed out, and suddenly Tino didn't look so judgmental.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian had a little secret. He actually just liked taking the cat for walks. It was an excuse to get out, and the kitten seemed to enjoy it, if not so much the leash. And maybe he'd come around to liking the kitten a little.

Shut up, he would never admit it out loud.

Today's walk had taken them through the park, and since the kitten was behaving abnormally well today, he decided to chance it and took it off the leash while he found a spot on a bench to have a cigarette. It didn't run off or anything, which was good, and instead busied itself with pouncing on things. What things, Adrian didn't know, but there were a lot of them.

"You're very good at that," Adrian told it conversationally.

The kitten ignored him and pounced on something so hard it fell over.

[And with that last post done, I needed a kitty. No, not that one. Open!]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Honestly, Adrian had been looking forward to work today. Not for the actual work, of course, but there were potentially new people to meet. And some of them might be hot, or at the very least interesting. And if he was really lucky, both.

There was also the little matter of having a certain dhampir using him for field experience. Since she kept refusing to use him for other things.

So Adrian was in a good mood today, even greeting Tino with, "Make yourself a drink, on me." He didn't realize or care why that still got him glared at.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

When Adrian came in to work today, he found everything set up already, and Tino behind the bar wearing a graduation cap. The weird thing was, it wasn't even in Fandom High's colors.

"You're a strange man, has anyone ever told you that?" Adrian wondered.

Tino had no answer, probably because he didn't need to be told.

canadianpopstar.livejournal.com

While Robin wasn't exactly ready to drink herself into oblivion after the weekend, or anything -- it hadn't been that bad, though now there were other people who knew that she was RJ -- she was still wary when she wandered into the bar. Tino, after all, might have seen little-her when she was in bossing Adrian around.

Tino, however, was already busy at work stocking things and whistling, in an alarmingly good mood. Which just made Robin all the more suspicious.

Caritas was open, and the bartender was on her guard.

Current Mood: uncomfortable

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Let's just say Adrian had a feeling it was going to be one of those days. And this was confirmed when he walked into Caritas guardianless for once... and found an eight-year-old behind the bar.

"Welcome to Caritas, what can I get for you?" Jaina asked cheerfully. She was totally sitting on a stool so she could see over the bar.

For a moment he only stared before coming up with, "You're fucking kidding me."

"That's a bad word," she accused.

"You are not tending bar like this," he decided, heading over behind the bar. Adrian was not the most responsible person in the world, and he'd laugh if anyone ever was dumb enough to say he was, but something told him this was just not right. "I'll take today, you can take Monday."

"I can too serve drinks!" she protested. "But if you're gonna be that way, fine. I won't even help you."

"Fine," he said, and went to make himself a drink... only to find that all the alcohol had been replaced by things like milk and lemonade. "Son of a bitch," he muttered.

"Another bad word."

[Yes, Adrian'll be serving today, and yes he will be sober around the kiddies. No worries, it's too early for him to be getting crazy all over you.]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

No, radio squirrels, this was not a date, as much as Adrian wished it was. He had nothing against Dimitri, despite how easy it was to mess with him, but if he had any opportunity to spend time with Rose, as his guardian or not, he wanted to take it. And if that meant going out to dinner instead of ordering room service, well.

And to his credit, he didn't go all out or anything. He could have sprung for a trip to New York for dinner or something, but did he? No. Admire his restraint, it was rare. Instead he opted for sushi, figuring he could still rack up a good bill and look impressive paying the check.

"This isn't so bad, is it?" he asked with a smirk, going for his chopsticks. Of course he knew how to use them right.

[For the guardian! No, the other one. The chick.]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian was totally here on time. He even greeted Tino with a, "No nudity today?"

Tino just glared.

Let's face it, Adrian was very glad for the lack of nudity. Like, there were no words.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian had had thing he'd wanted to do today. Like find something, anything to do out of town that didn't suck.

Instead he'd woken up to an extremely clingy kitten who wouldn't leave him alone and cried when he stood up to do anything, and finally Adrian had called Dimitri because there needed to be a walk. Yes, Adrian still took the cat for walks, leash and all. He'd be the first to tell you he was not meant to be a pet owner. Not owner. Temporary caregiver.

Of course the walk would be a lot easier if say, the cat wouldn't just sit there on the sidewalk and refuse to go anywhere. "I think you are missing the point of a walk," Adrian told it.

[For the guardian!]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian hadn't had kids this weekend. As far as he knew. He'd heard radio on Saturday and decided if he didn't have anyone pounding at his door, he didn't need to go outside and tempt fate.

Besides, he would have been a bad influence anyway. As evidenced by the way that the first thing he did when he got to the bar was light up a cigarette.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian was on time to work today, mainly because he'd had to bring the unnamed cat of unknown gender along. When Tino started looking amused (that was Adrian's job, thanks), he got a reply of, "It was the only way to get it to shut up."

And because Adrian had a whiny kitty every time he did so much as look away from it, Tino'd be doing most of the work, ha.

What's that, he did that anyway? Never mind.

[I got knocked offline for half an hour and now half my pages won't load. Best to mod Tino if you want guaranteed pings back.]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Every once in a while, Adrian just had to get out. This wasn't normally an issue at all, but when it was Dimitri he had to call out just to go someplace... It was absolutely impossible for him to ignore Dimitri.

Which was how they'd ended up on what some might call a ~~mandate~~ man date.

After dragging Dimitri out to the beach just to hear the waves (Adrian thought that was a nice touch), he then dragged him to the Perk for coffee. And conversation, of course. And picking a table in front of the window where Adrian immediately tried to light a cigarette and frowned at the lack of ashtray.

[For the tall guy (no, not that one. Or that on- look, the one he came with), though it can be ooooopen.]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian was totally back today.

Except he was still hung over from last night (this morning?) so upon walking in and getting himself a drink, he went to the lounge to hang out.

Tino should have expected that, really.

[Only posting cuz Pard made me. HI MOD TINO HA.]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian was changing things up this week. Tomorrow he got to head out of town to go back to court for the week, so he was taking today's shift. If anyone asked, he'd say that despite not actually doing any work here, he liked the chance to hang out with the customers.

In reality, he just liked messing with Tino, who looked like he'd had his whole day ruined by seeing him on the wrong day.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian was a little late today. Not too bad, but later than usual.

Tino glared at him when he finally showed, and Adrian replied, "Daylight Savings Time," only with more cursing, and apparently that was enough to be forgiven today.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Once again, Adrian hadn't turned into anything this weekend, and instead got to watch everyone else be insane. For that reason, he loved this town. And he got to work the bar on Monday, meaning anyone who stopped in was going to get one of those knowing looks from someone who listened to radio.

Ignore that he was repressing certain parts of the weekend. Like Dimitri's parts.

solo_sword

Jaina was not quite herself today, so she would not be opening up the bar. On Monday she was going to have withdrawals from having gone this long without showing up to work.

Tino, however, was completely himself today, and he was looking oh so pleased about having to be here on a day everyone had gone insane again.

...Maybe he'd get a hookup from someone who didn't know any better. That made him feel better.

[Mod Tino for all your drunken-AU-hookups-that-you'll-regret-on-Monday needs!]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

People were actually back in town again, and so Adrian came prepared for work. With the kitten. Hopefully someone- anyone- who came in today would take it. It was cute and all, but it did not fit his lifestyle. At all. And kept trying to destroy his clothes.

For the moment it was pacing the bartop, making noise like it was trying to outloud the band. At least it was cute? And came with a leash?

[So note to anyone coming in today: Adrian will TOTALLY TRY to compulse you into taking the kitten. It doesn't have to work, and feel free to know he's up to something if you're able, but he'll try. Oh yes. He will try.]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Because of the spring break trip he didn't get to go on, Adrian was here again today behind the bar. At least all the extra hours meant he'd be bringing in more pay-

What was that? He was already disgustingly rich? then at least all the extra hours meant access to more free alcohol.

guardian-god.livejournal.com

Just two weeks ago, Dimitri had been too busy working around the clock to pause for an hour and enjoy himself with friends when presented with the opportunity.

Now, he was creating the time. Yes, it helped that most of the island was on vacation and Dimitri was spending as little time at the gym as possible after an unfortunate, yet thankfully one-sided, discussion of Real Women with Jessi.

After gathering the American pool equipment on an unoccupied table, he set things up and started taking a few practice shots for the sake of his rusty skills.

After a few minutes of concentrated play, he realized there was hockey showing on the televisions hanging around the establishment, leading to a frowning Dimitri. Canadians.

[Fast Eddie's is open to ALL!]

Current Mood: indescribable

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian was surprised to walk into Caritas tonight and see Tino holding a tiny kitten behind the bar. Before Adrian could even shoot off a smartass remark (dammit), Tino explained that it seemed to be a stray that had wandered in from the back. So, for now, they had a kitten.

Maybe Dimitri'd play with it.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian was filling in tonight, and don't think Tino wasn't disappointed to see him walk in the door instead of Kyle.

"I know how much you missed me this week," Adrian told him, "so I thought I'd come to spend some quality time."

Tino grumbled something about needing to go check the stockroom for the next few hours.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

For reasons he wouldn't explain, Tino called out today. He said he had a cold, but he didn't sound the least bit sick.

Adrian wasn't worried. It wasn't that he couldn't do the job, he just liked making Tino glare more.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Between last week's general freakout over vampires and the attack by the werewolf on Saturday, Adrian still had company in the form of a 6'7 dhampir today, which was enough to make Tino not immediately start glaring at him upon arrival. He even started setting up without a word and let Adrian take his place behind the bar to get a drink. There seemed to be benefits to this arrangement.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

For as long as things were making radio about vampires biting people, Adrian had Guardians to tail him. While he didn't have his own in Fandom, having his very own protective shadow wasn't anything new, and for the most part he found it easy to ignore them.

But when one of his current Guardians was Dimitri, he couldn't not mess with him. Which was why he'd arranged an appointment at the spa once the sun set. He didn't need to go, but once he'd gotten into the manicure chair and explained, "Don't worry, if you skip the colored polish it's still manly," it was all worth it.

[For them thar Guardians!]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

When Tino got to work today, he found Adrian already behind the bar, everything set up, sitting with a drink and a cigarette. It completely freaked him out.

Which was exactly why Adrian did it.

[I warn you now, my brain is mush.]

During the night, Fandom had been covered in a blanket of fresh snow that was just thick enough to turn everything crisp and white. With cream-colored decorations and twinkling lights, the Student Council had aimed for a winter wonderland kind of theme, and the snow simply added to the effect. Thankfully, the day was turning out to be warmer, so those who were going to be outside all day wouldn't freeze. Once the finishing touches were done, the carnival was open for business.

Adrian had been gone for the weekend, and got back to town only just before his shift at Caritas started. He had enough time to go back to his room at the Arms, drop off his stuff, smoke, have a drink, have another cigarette, and came to work only a little bit late.

"So," he greeted Tino, almost cheerfully, "did I miss anything?"

There weren't words for Tino's glare at that. No words.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian was a little late to the bar tonight, but found everything already set up so that all he had to do was make himself a drink and take a seat. He found this strange.

When he went to ask Tino why he was in such an easygoing mood, Tino completely ignored him in order to text someone on his phone.

"Could be more polite," Adrian said, lighting a cigarette.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

The zombie drummer seemed to have a problem with his arm falling off tonight. The first time it happened, it'd been in the middle of a set, and to the band's credit they didn't skip a beat. Well, the drummer did.

The second time, it went flying offstage when he hit the drums too hard and the duct tape didn't hold. After this, Tino held the duct tape out to Adrian to tell him it was his turn.

"I think all the duct tape in the world couldn't help him today," Adrian replied, because seriously. "Let's just save ourselves the trouble." And for once, Tino agreed.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Between all the parties over Christmas, and then New Year's, he'd reached some point of supersaturation so that he was pretty sure he was still drunk from two days ago. Which was fine by him.

Even if it made Tino sigh because he knew he'd be the only one of any real use tonight.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Tino was not in a good mood when Adrian got in to work today, and Adrian knew exactly why.

"No one was going to believe you were the boss here for long," Adrian pointed out as he made himself a drink.

Tino just glared and walked off to the back room. Ooh, Adrian might be on his own today.

Ellie was a little surprised when she arrived at the hotel to find holiday music still playing. She wasn't complaining too much, though. At least not right away.

Today's Special
Eggnog and Gingerbread cookies

[No ocd today.]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Two weeks in a row Adrian had to set up for a party. Well, he made Tino set up for a party. He had to admit that since this one didn't involve Rose, his interest for this one went way down in comparison, but he'd still be partaking of the alcohol anyway, so that made things a little better.

[You are so modding Tino for speedy service.]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Two parties two nights in a row. Adrian couldn't say he had a problem with this, especially when he could partake of the open bar. (He appreciated it.) After sectioning off the lounge for the party, he even assured a wary-looking Tino that he'd actually work tonight, just to help him out.

Which probably meant if Rose came up for drinks, he would give them to her, but it still counted.

[Up early by request. Mod Tino for fast service, Adrian pings will get picked up around 9 ET.]

divinesurfchick.livejournal.com

It was here! Party night! And Aphrodite was there to greet all her guests at the door of the banquet room.

The party was actually taking place in two rooms, with the buffet dinner in the smaller one and dancing in the larger. Just inside the door of the larger room was the twelve-foot tree, with twinkly crystal lights, but no decoration. This was where people were free to place their own ornament on the tree, showing what holiday they were celebrating.

Also in the dancing room were several tapestries, with the names of several holidays in golden thread, and some symbol of the celebration. These ranged from a tree for Solstice, a menorah for Hanukkah, a nativity scene for Christmas, and several others.

The buffet was grand, with turkey, ham, and roasted lamb with all the trimmings. Near the bar was an actual champagne fountain, with real champagne flowing over the glasses for patrons to fill their own.

The food was ready to be served, the band was warming up for the dancers, and the goddess of love was at the door to welcome you!

(ooc: Party post, up early for SP. Everyone is welcome, and don't forget to bring your holiday ornament! ~~Wait for the~~ OCD is up!)

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian had had a great weekend, and was in a very good mood when he got to Caritas tonight.

Because he got to start off greeting Tino with, "I hear you have a stamina problem."

It was all Adora's fault.

[Open, though will be a little slow for a bit!]

goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com

Meg was shocked and appalled at the state of this bar. How was she supposed to show off her creativity and quirkiness in a dump like this? There wasn't enough glitter, wasn't enough half-naked men in leather pants and there certainly wasn't enough random giant dogs lounging around. This was unacceptable! She will never be a famous pop star at this rate. She'll be stuck in this crap town forever.

"My life is ruined!" Meg said dramatically. She pointed at Tino. "You, send a martini to the back. I need it to cope!"

[Totally cheating. Mod Tino! Notifs are off omg so ping me in the OOC thread if you want something]

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian arrived to the bar twenty minutes late, already more than slightly tipsy, and fully expecting the glare that he got from Tino.

"Like you expected any different," Adrian told him.

Tino had no argument for this.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian was more or less a chimney tonight, lighting one clove cigarette after another. Even he really didn't need to smoke that much, but here was a little sense of pleasure at watching Tino's glare get more and more fierce every time.

"It's very cute how you think that's going to make me stop," Adrian finally said, and Tino stalked off to get something from the stockroom rather than respond.

As soon as he was gone, Adrian put out his cigarette and got another drink instead.

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

Adrian was in for a surprise when he got to Caritas on Monday.

Tino had called out sick.

For a moment Adrian just looked around the bar, realizing he'd never actually watched what Tino did to set up. "Well played," he said finally. "Well played."

whos-got-spirit.livejournal.com

The Monday after Halloween saw Tino and Adrian camped out at the bar together in a rare moment of peace. Tino had set out a bowl of leftover Halloween candy that he was trying to get rid of but still couldn't stop snacking on, and finally he looked over to see why Adrian hadn't touched any of it.

"You have your treats, I have mine," said Adrian, and lit a cigarette.
