strangetrip | GP/EP: Check-In Day: Turning Tricks into Treats

Instead of the remains of a raucous night of dedicated drinking, the chairs were up on the tables, the counter was cleaned, the floor had been vacuumed and mopped as appropriate. Kitty had had plenty of time to straighten up at close yesterday, since almost everyone seemed more interested in drinking in Bonesville. For her part, she'd had enough after her and Wyatt's little adventure in Funland. At least, she'd had enough for the few days it would take her to heal.

On the upside, that made opening up this morning easy and fast. On the downside, it meant she had an entire day with not much to distract her from wondering when Barrel of Fun would lock down access to the outside and why it couldn't open onto a world with higher tech. She had managed to scavenge some computer circuitry and cell phones, but she hadn't worked out how they'd solve her current tech problem yet.

If Dot were still here, she'd be baking for Halloween. Even if they'd had to explain Halloween to her, she'd be making cookies and candy and cakes, and probably sewing costumes, too. Those thoughts summoned a wistful sigh from Kitty while she took down the chairs. She was still sighing when she finished refreshing her stock of cut up fruit.

By mid-afternoon, she'd put away a pot and a half of coffee, she was practically vibrating, and a buzz-by from Caroline prompted an amazing idea. Why not spend the afternoon testing Halloween and Thanksgiving cocktails, to help turn the arrival trick of Check-In Day on the 1st into, well, a little bit of a treat? So it was that the new arrivals, two days earlier than expected, found the bar counter covered with spooky and kooky and dry-ice steamy drinks and Kitty literally spinning between her coffee cup and the next bright green, weirdly black, or pumpkin orange drink.

[ooc: find Kitty making any of these or drinking yet another cup of coffee, she's OTA]

She accepted the glass and took a drink. It burned a little when it went down, but it wasn't unwelcome.

"How long have you been here?" Change of topic.

"A few months." Then he paused, no it wasn't just a few months. He drained his own glass and refilled them both. "More like nine months."

"Nine months?" It came out incredulous and then she remembered what Vex had said about time.

"I guess when you decide to go look for answers, you really go look, huh?" She wasn't sure she wanted to know what it was like to be stuck here for nine months.

That made him laugh, "I'll let you know if I find any."

She offered him a small smile, then looked at the liquid in her glass. "We're all worried about you back home, you know. Especially Hale."

"If memory serves Hale wasn't speaking to me when I left," but he missed the other man too. "Something about sleeping with his sister."

Despite being a succubus and all, Bo had to work a little to keep her expression from looking annoyed at the memory of this. Then she told herself that wasn't fair since technically she had been sleeping with Ryan at the time and they weren't together and - she decided to stop thinking about it.

"You know, the day you left, I almost ended up married for like, a billion years. Thankfully Kenzi came to save the day, like she always does."

Not even a little fair. If she wanted to be annoyed about something - his timing had been atrocious. But not his activities.

"You? Married." He is having a hard time imagining this, though once he might have been able to.

She sent him a look that said 'It could happen!' more out of defiance of his claim than her really caring about if she would or not. Then she made a vague hand gesture. "You know. Same old story. Water Fae, magic water, forgetting you're a succubus, etcetera, etcetera."

Forgetting she was a succubus sounded dangerous to Dyson, who knew what she could do when hungry and he wondered why anyone would want that.

"Good for Kenzi." He missed her, he realized suddenly as talking to Bo made him think about home, something he hadn't done for months.

"I'd be dead more times than I could count without Kenzi." Or she'd be a blubbering wreck or an anti-social shut in. Hell, Kenzi was basically the reason Bo learned who she was and about the Fae world.

Bo paused, taking time to take a long draw of her drink as she thought. "I'm sorry you've been here by yourself."

"It hasn't been all bad." He lifted his glass in a half toast. "Decent booze, interesting people."

He might have glanced in the direction of where he knew Regina was sitting, but not long enough to know if she was watching.

Her eyebrows lifted a little and a small playful smile spread across her face. "Have you made friends, Dyson?"

"Not exactly friends." He admitted with a chuckle. It was complicated, and that was saying something considering who he was talking to. "Or maybe we're friends now. We're figuring it out."

"Okay..." Bo wasn't sure she completely believed Dyson's explanation and tilted her head a bit as if trying to read him better. "You mean you haven't made any friends since you've been here?"

He cocked his head to consider that, "Acquaintances. But no one like Hale."

Or her. Or Trick. Or even Kenzi.

"Friends like Hale are far and in between." Which was why when they had parted on bad terms it had been especially surprising. Then again, she killed Lauren's girlfriend so she couldn't really speak.

"I've only met a few people here, but they all seem nice." She paused. "And easy on the eyes."

"Yes they are," both few and far between and easy on the eyes. "We are a collection of very attractive people."

Her expression might have given away the fact that since they might be stuck, Bo was at least okay with being stuck in essentially a candy store for her. Her expression turned into a smirk before she took another sip of alcohol.

He shook his head. Succubi.

"Never change Bo. never change."

He held out his glass for her to clinks hers to.

[ooc: Fade on her tag?]

She clinked her glass to his with a wide smile. "You know I'm too stubborn to change." And then offered him a wink.

(ooc: Sure!)
