Lilly's in the nightclub, which is technically open but it's far too early for any patrons to wander in. She's got the place to herself and is taking full advantage of it.

There's a tall drink slowly shifting from blue to purple sitting on top of abandoned paperwork on a low table. Lilly herself is sprawled on the couch beside it, carefully painting her toenails a bright coral.

It's hard out here for a pimp/nightclub owner.

"No, but I make a mean Magrathean Iced Tea if you'd rather."

Again: three years in a bar.

"This one tastes kinda innocent and refreshing at first and then it just kinda hits you and then it fades away again."

[hopeitsworthit]

Dean grins at her.

"You gonna take advantage of me while I'm drunk?"

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly looks him over critically.

"Nah," she says finally. "I've got better options next door."

[hopeitsworthit]

"Free service for the bosslady?"

Huh. Go figure.

He makes himself another Purple Nurple in the meantime.

It tastes like shit, but he doesn't really care.

"I call them performance reviews," Lilly says solemnly.

"Rigorous quality testing is the hallmark of a good brothel, after all."

[hopeitsworthit]

"Yeah, 'cause those little compliment cards from the customers mean jack shit."

Uh huh.

"So about that drink?"

[awesome_lilly]

"I had to wait for my toes to dry," Lilly explains.

She wiggles them experimentally and hops off the couch. None of the bottles she picks off of the drink tray have labels written in English. At least the ice is recognizable?

"Here you go!"

It's very blue. And glowy.

[hopeitsworthit]

"Gee, thanks."

Dean eyes the drink, then shrugs and downs it.







Yeah, there goes that hitting part.

[awesome_lilly]

Well, that's the point of Blue Shifts, so.

"Delicious, right?"

Lilly takes a healthy sip of her own.

"They make paperwork and research bearable."

[hopeitsworthit]

"Makes me the lucky one, huh?"

Dean makes his version of a 'whoa, alcohol' face.

"Sammy's big on that shit, I'm just the muscle."

This is not exactly truthful. Except for when it is.

Dean can be a real lazyass, when he can afford to be.

[awesome_lilly]

"I'm not doing this for fun," Lilly says, wrinkling her nose.

"Thanks to stupid April Fools, and my stupid husband and his stupid pregnancy, I have to divorce like five people in different ways."

[hopeitsworthit]

"I think I need another drink."

He's got--nothing else right now.

Give his brain a second to catch up.

Maybe a minute.

[awesome_lilly]

"You and me both."

It takes Lilly at least a minute to mix up a second round of drinks, so that should help.

"I don't even know the name of the tribe that has the impale-a-cherry-on-a-horn wedding ceremony, so how am I supposed to find out what they consider divorced?"

[hopeitsworthit]

Dean takes a big swig of his new drink, then swipes his hand across his mouth.

"So let me get this straight. You've got a pregnant husband, which--what the hell? And one of your five new ones has horns?"

And he thought his life was surreal.

"Jesus Christ."

[awesome_lilly]

"No, I'm not married to him.


Yet."

At the rate she's going, though...

"Puck won't say how, but Delirium knocked him up somehow. And I was stupid enough to bitch about it to Bar on April Fools' Day, so I ended up with new spouses. Good times!"

[hopeitsworthit]

Dean takes another swallow of booze.

"Yeah, I'm gonna remember Bar hates whining. Thanks, Lilly."

It's an important lesson!

[awesome_lilly]

"Some days she's sympathetic!"

Lilly sighs into her drink.

"Just not April Fool's Day, apparently. So now I have to divorce Superman and a Gorgon and a guy who looks like Mal and some other people. God. So annoying."

[hopeitsworthit]

Dean's eyebrows go way up.

"You married Medusa?"

He's trying not to choke.

"How fast can you get a divorce around here, again?"

He'll think about Superman later.

[awesome_lilly]

"This is what I'm trying to find out!"

Hence the papers and occasional book.

"Luckily, I don't think it's that hard. She was totally nice about it, at least, so."

[hopeitsworthit]

Dean looks a little startled.

"You mean she ain't a ghost anymore?"

Huh. Go figure.

[awesome_lilly]

Hey, now it's Lilly's turn to look startled.

"She was a ghost? When?"

[hopeitsworthit]

"Hell if I know."

He shrugs, loose and easy.

"A while back, I guess?"

[awesome_lilly]

"Weird."

Lilly is having trouble picturing this.

"I wonder how she stopped being a ghost? Maybe it's part of her whole Greek thing."

[hopeitsworthit]

"Immortals are pretty fucked up, yeah."

Look at Coyote. And Prometheus.

Dean knows this first-hand!

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly gives him a Look.

"I have an immortal pregnant husband, so... yeah. I was aware of that."
