Hercules merely looks into his tablet and says one sentence.

"Who wants to get drunk with me?"

He smiles, awaiting an answer. He figures it is a simple enough request.

And to a simple request, we shall have a simple answer. Yep, here's one raised hand, attached to a Buffy.

Hercules smiles back at her. "Well then, what are we waiting for?"

There is a short pause.

"Other than knowing where a bar is."

"Oh, I know where a bar is," she answers helpfully, returning that smile. She has a lot to drink about for the record, but today is not a moping day. "I work at one. It's called Caritas, it's in Osten. It's a karaoke bar so there's some bad-singing-related danger, but it's a great place. And I know for a fact that the cocktails are excellent. ...particularly when I'm not the one making them."

"If I am there, there shall be no danger!" Herc says, snapping his fingers. "But I do like this idea. Shall we meet there for great carousing?"

"It's true, you're like Elvis. Except, y'know, a lot more muscled and less dead." Somehow that compliment went awry somewhere, and she's not sure how. "And yeah, that sounds good to me. There might even be shenanigans."

And what good will come out of... getting drunk?

[ voice ]

[lionofolympus.livejournal.com]

Fun, of course!

[revivedqueen.livejournal.com]

Fun. [ she doubts very doubtful. ]

I could always show you a good time.

In response to Hercules' simple request, Tony glances at his tablet and nods in the affirmative.

"I can always use a drink." Especially now, of all times.

"Of course you can," Herc says, chuckling. "You are Tony Stark, after all."

Tony smirks at this. "The last time we talked, you were confused because I'm not the same man you know. But some things never change, I guess. So, what about that drink?"

"There are some things that are constants," Herc says. "We must fetch a drink, yes! There is a place called Caritas, it is good I am told."

Hell yeah, I thought you'd never ask.

[Voice]

[lionofolympus.livejournal.com]

It shall be a regular bacchanalia!

...Am I going to be sorry if I look that word up?

[lionofolympus.livejournal.com]

No?

Sign me up.

[A good friend seems to have left the city, which means that DG sounds uncharacteristically morose. A drink has never sounded so appealing.]

[Voice]

[lionofolympus.livejournal.com]

You are always welcome company, sweet DG.

[tothelightshown.livejournal.com]

So what's the plan?

[Voice]

[lionofolympus.livejournal.com]

Caritas for carousing and carousing!

[ironshodboots]

If you get tired of drinks with little umbrellas and people singing, I've a proper tavern. And very reasonably priced ale.

[voice]

[lionofolympus.livejournal.com]

Little umbrellas are important!

They do protect little people from little rainstorms, after all.

[ironshodboots]

[She chuckles a little/]

Well, lucky for you my tavern is an indoor establishment, then.

And lucky for me, there is nothing about Hercules that is little
