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]

"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.

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!)
