The Devil's Nest [Thursday Evening]

[texted3times]

Eric was opening the club tonight, a move that kind of shocked the DJ when he arrived five minutes late.

After being assured Eric wouldn't eat him this time, the DJ promised to play whatever Eric wanted.

Turned out the DJ didn't have ancient Norse ballads.

The new DJ would be there tomorrow. Tonight you were subjected to the contents of Eric's iPod.

There were plenty of ancient Norse ballads on that.

"I don't know," Kate admitted with a sigh, resting her chin against her hand, her elbow against the bar. "What am I supposed to say to Moosh? Is it unfair if I tell him? Is it unfair if I don't?"

"Could he get here before Lionel has to go back?" Jack asked. "If he can't or wouldn't want to -- maybe it's better he never know."

"I really don't know." She sighed again. "He's doing so good, though. So the most likely thing is I'll keep it to myself and let Bod talk me down. He gets this shit."

Jack bit his lip, echoed Kate's sigh. He didn't have any better suggestions on Marshall, much as he would have liked to. "You're lucky to have him," he decided. "Emma's got her brother visiting, so I know she'll be distracted."

By yelling at him.

"Yeah, I heard." And she couldn't even start imagining what that was like. "Hope she doesn't spend all her time yelling at him."

"Who's yelling at who?" Lionel asked, sliding closer, and reaching out to stuff the napkin he'd been writing on into Kate's pocket. She didn't even ask. She'd look at it later.

"No one," she said. "Lionel, Jack. Jack, Lionel."

"Nice to meet you," Jack said, affably enough. "The yelling is -- nothing to worry about."

He tilted his head at Lionel, realizing he looked familiar. "Were you at Kate's graduation?"

Re: The Bar

[eyelidkisses.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." He tempered his smile into something milder, and added, airily, "Marshall's plus one."

Re: The Bar

[bitten_notshy]

"Then you were lucky," Jack returned, equally airy. "Or as lucky anyone who stumbles into a Fandom graduation ceremony is, anyhow."

"Mm, you know, for a place that gets so much wacky publicity," Lionel noted, "this doesn't seem all that crazy to me."

"Says the boy who's not even supposed to be here," Kate remarked.

"I'm just calling it as I see it."

"You're dead, I'm a werewolf, and the brunette with curly hair over there died of tuberculosis over a hundred years ago," Jack said. "I think it's weird enough."

Re: The Bar

[eyelidkisses.livejournal.com]

"Eh." Lionel shrugged. "It's a little... supernatural young adult fiction gone crazy."

Or maybe he just didn't like seeming weirded out.

"Like that whole section at the bookstore melted together," Jack mused. "I can see that."

If Lionel didn't think it was weird, he wasn't going to make himself crazy being the more impressed.
