Who: Anyone who wants to come by
What: Grand-opening party!
Where: Pancho's Bar
When: Friday Night

The streamers were up (because Jan had insisted), and the bar was as ready as it ever would be. Alcohol was stored in a few make-shift shelves on the back wall and a relatively well-cobbled together bar was freshly polished and ready to go. It wasn't the most well-put-together, place, but Pancho's definitely resembled its namesake in terms of dim lighting, chipped tables and a floor that looked like it should be sticky. All in all, Carol was pretty proud of what they'd made. The minifridge was even a good choice since it allowed them to keep some drinks cold (they were going to have to find a larger one in the future, though).

She had warned Peter that the pizza oven needed to be ready by that evening, but she wasn't sure how on the ball with that he was. She'd been busy doing damage control on some electrical issues they were having with the fridge and double checking to make sure they actually had drinking cups (that took a little bit of maneuvering, but Clint came through with the coffee mugs). Yup, vodka from coffee mugs, a mini-fridge filled with a variety of stolen beers, and mismatched chairs. And, of course, the balloons. The annoying, awful squeaky balloons that had floated into a couple of corners of the room, save for the two that kept dragging on the floor and that Carol dreaded would pop at some point that evening. Definitely professional.

Karaoke was set up in one corner of the room with a make-shift stage and Christmas lights (Yes, more Christmas lights) decorating around it. Old 80s rock music blasted from the speakers for now, and Carol stood behind the bar, ready to serve as needed but more than willing to drag anyone else into the position should they so choose that evening.

"Cheers," Tony said, pulling the coffee mug (very classy, it had Clint all over it, practically) closer and glancing over too when someone wandered in. It was going to be a good turn out, for all intents and purposes. As good as a turn out could be with so few people actually around, anyway.

Her question did make sense -- it might not have if it wasn't something he'd considered extensively. It was hard not to when face with a younger, fresher version of himself in the same room sometimes. "Right," he said, pulling together his thoughts. "I think the thing is, is that other Carol wouldn't really be you. Not quite. I think some personality quirks might be a constant even through alternate realities -- you've talked to the baby me a bit, I gather? He's clever, funny, clearly knows his way around machinery. But he's..." Tony took a drink in order to afford himself time to think of a decent description. "Not me. He's cleaner. Less rough around the edges. When I was his age I'd been in rehab, out again and ready to go back. That probably was a product of my time just as much as anything else."
