There were no jello shots at Caritas tonight.
In fact, there was no Summer at Caritas tonight, either.
What would even be the point? The island was going crazy, and everyone should probably stay at home! Sure, Caritas was a safe space, and that was good if anyone needed it, and it was literally right across the street so it wouldn't take long to get there, but, knowing her luck? Ha! She'd probably be dead before she barely stepped out the door!
Not that she figured she was much safer in her own apartment, because she did not at all trust those looks Pancakes was giving her, and this wouldn't even be the first time a pet had threatened her! At least Pancakes didn't have a mech suit, though!
....YET.
Besides, she was thoroughly convinced that anyone who actually did go to Caritas would have a much better time without her there. Because that's just how it was. Things were always better without her. Just look at her parents' lives if she hadn't been born, and the Resistance was probably thriving now that she was out of the picture. Why do you think Grampa Rick only ever wanted to take Morty on adventures and never her? Because she sucked. And things always sucked more when she was involved. Tino didn't need her there. Tino probably didn't even want her there.
No one did.
And it definitely didn't help that Summer just could not stop doomscrolling through all the happy, perfect posts from people on all her socials, almost as if something that knew it would only exacerbate these feelings was compelling her to keep doing so.
[[ very much open! with potential bouts of SP because work has been stupid stressful lately, ugh ]]

Seriously. Summer wished she could just tell Annie she could drop the nice-girl act, she really didn't need to waste her energy on actually pretending to care about her.
portals are fucked right now anyway so it doesn't even matter
no subject
fuuuuuck. okay, stay inside??? are you at the bar?
Annie remembered the last time there had been weirdness like this, and she had almost escorted Summer home except for how her friend was, like, a total badass and had a blaster so Annie had decided to go Starlight it up with people who maybe needed more help than the ever-capable Summer.

no. I figured Tino could handle it. People probably shouldn't be out drinking right now, anyway, even if Caritas is usually pretty safe
There was almost a grimness in the pause that followed before she added:
it's once you leave when it gets bad
