John had gotten the surprise of his fucking life this morning. In a good way, that was, and while it had taken a few moments for him to wake up enough to realize what, exactly, was coming out of his shower-head, he had figured it out eventually.
A call and a bribe to get a same-day delivery of a few giant bottles of Culligan and a water cooler from the mainland, a trip over the Causeway to the YMCA for a godsdamned shower with water and a shopping trip for the appropriate accouterments...
It was getting on towards dinner time by the time once he was back and had everything he needed. The door to his flat was propped open, text messages reading my fucking taps are running absinthe come fucking help me enjoy it, music on and food available.
Fuck yeah Constantine was indulging. And no, he wasn't lighting his sugar cubes on fire, that shit was for showy amateurs.
[OOC: Open post! If you think you got a text, you did, or feel free to stumble over Constantine's Bad Choices.]

Absinthe was definitely crawling up Kanan's list of Earth favorites.

no subject
Date: 2017-03-17 05:50 pm (UTC)He gestured for Kanan to get his ass inside and sit down. "Absinthe is a very, very alcoholic beverage. She's a little green fairy with a hell of a kick, you can't drink her without diluting it a bit unless you want your brains on the floor of a morgue."

Date: 2017-03-17 06:16 pm (UTC)Verity's taps were running green and smelling like gin of all things, and she hadn't been on the island anywhere near long enough to figure out the connection.
"I was wondering if there was something wrong with your pipes, too?"

Date: 2017-03-18 07:32 am (UTC)Which made the 'eggnog incident' even worse to contemplate. It was bad enough she smelled like a gin distillery mixed with lime. The idea of smelling like eggnog was a hundred times worse.
"...How the hell did that much absinthe get into the plumbing?"
Poor, precious lamb. So new!

Date: 2017-03-18 07:38 am (UTC)"That's one way to make me feel better about my gin-and-lime-juice shower," Verity said, sitting down with a drink in hand. "On the plus side, that's a hell of a cocktail to wake up to. I guess I should just be glad I didn't try to take a bath."
A sip of her drink and then she was offering her hand. "Hi, I'm Verity. I'm new, as everyone keeps pointing out."
no subject
Date: 2017-03-18 11:36 am (UTC)"And I'm Kanan. I wasn't going to ask if you were new, but yeah, I haven't seen you around."
Which could just as easily have been a testimony to how often he didn't get out, these days. Clearly he needed to start doing more of his drinking in bars.

Date: 2017-03-18 07:51 am (UTC)"Hi," she said, a little awkwardly, carefully not making eye contact. "No, I live in the other apartment building in town, but I didn't know what apartments were inhabited and didn't feel like knocking on a bunch of empty doors, you know?"
And it was about then that Verity realized Hera's...hair-tentacles?...were not actually snakes at all. And if they weren't snakes, then it meant Hera was not a gorgon and--okay, now Verity was making eye contact and offering more than just a polite smile. "Hi," she said again. "I'm Verity and the pleasure is mine."
Much easier to be personable when the other person wasn't a giant snake-woman ability--and possibly the inclination--to petrify you!

Date: 2017-03-17 07:51 pm (UTC)They couldn't all go to the mainland, and she was not sleeping next to Kanan if he tried bathing in this stuff.
no subject
Date: 2017-03-18 01:08 am (UTC)He took a sip of her glass, then broke out in a grin. "'S a milkshake. They're... like ice cream drinks. So long as you're not lactose intolerant, they're safe to drink."
