Happy St. Patrick's Day~

[pinkscarflady]

[Mom is at the bar, drinking. Just like every day, right?

Oh no. No, today is different. This is St. Patrick's day. This is the day when Mom drinks while wearing green. She also has a festive little hat, tilted to one side at a jaunty angle.

She is also displaying a preference for green drinks today, just to get into the spirit of things. She's still wearing her pink scarf though. Join her?]

Yeah, but they don't have to ☠☠☠☠ with everything. Just make you angry enough to kill someone you like, or confuse you.

Aftewards you get to ☠☠☠☠ and moan about it for days and they get to laugh their ☠☠☠☠ ☠☠☠☠ off.

[Well, he gets angry, and then the beer glass shatters in his hand. Splashing himself with green beer. He frowns at that. At least he doesn't look cut.]

[pinkscarflady]

Well I at least intend to give them no such show of moaning or complaining. It seems rather pointless to me.

I'd prefer to invest my energies in other areas. Ordering drinks, for example.

[She orders them both another round.]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

You know what? I like your attitude.

[He cheers up quick.

He also pays for the next round after this.]

So, what did you use to drink back home?

[pinkscarflady]

About twice as much as anyone should. Although I've always had a soft spot for a classic gin martini.

It did help that I had an entire room remodeled as a bar. An extremely well stocked bar. I eagerly await the day the town returns that to me.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

☠☠☠☠, when you get home you and your friends should toast me or something.

We just stole kegs from our last boss.

[pinkscarflady]

I'll do one better. If I do happen to get my bar back while I'm here, I'll invite you for a drink.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Now that's something to drink too.

[Buying the next round.]

[pinkscarflady]

I find that almost everything is.

[She smiles.]

Thank you.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

So, what are you doing after the bar?

[Yep. Totally a dream woman.

Nope. Doesn't know she's married.]

[pinkscarflady]

[Aww, poor Captain. She's already taken.]

I probably ought to go home. Or else my husband and daughter will eventually become concerned.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Oh.

[Yeah, swing and a miss.]

I'm lucky, the only kid at my house mostly takes care of herself.

[pinkscarflady]

That sounds convenient at least. What sort of employment did the town select for you?

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Pharmacist. It pays great but ☠☠☠☠ if I know what I am doing.

[pinkscarflady]

At least it gives you something to do every day. I confess I'd prefer to have a job. Housewife is easily the most boring occupation in existence.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Really? They stuck you with that?

I'd drink myself stupid every day if I had to babysit fake kids.

[pinkscarflady]

Well, one of them is actually my daughter. Although I'm working on that idea of your regardless.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Yeah, good luck to you there.

If you and your husband ever have to get out and need someone to party with, let me know.

[pinkscarflady]

We do entertain from time to time, and by that I mean we have social gatherings that involve copious amounts of alcohol.

I certainly wouldn't mind adding you to the guest list.

[Because she thinks that would be hilarious.]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Thanks, I'll be there.
