[Dolls is present, leaning back against the bar with two faces, one familiar and one unfamiliar in tow. Aalis took pity on him, while Crash is just here to enjoy the show. And while Crash is all done up in a dress uniform that they somehow just managed to throw together, Dolls decided to keep it simple.
He's still got his baggage with the U.S. military, so while his actual dog tags are out, he's wearing a white undershirt with an open button down on top and khakis. It's giving very causal soldier, but it works.
He glances over and waves when he spots the Earps and Crash leans in to rest one elbow on his shoulder.
"I wish I had popcorn. Which one is the girl?"]
What does that even mean?
["The one that gets you all broody. You know what I mean, don't you Aalis?"]
( To be clear, Dolls doesn't have a sunny demeanor. He has a quiet, taciturn, professional demeanor. He cracks a joke here and there but he is always 'getting the job done.' Wynonna Earp has shown he has glimmers of an actual personality.
"Waves. Ten o'clock. Between the chiseled chin and the witch." Wynonna squints. "He brought backup?")
I did not bring backup. I brought my sister. That's not the same thing. Dolls' entourage screams male insecurity.
( And don't discuss any of Wynonna's, thank you.
"Crash livens every party, and you asked Crash. And me. You must've wanted us here. Showing off your obsession's... assets, are we?" Even Aalis can poke fun and have a good time. )
("Deep breaths," Aalis says, hand on Doll's upper back before striding them both forward. It's inevitable, the twain shall meet. )
Incoming. ( So this won't be West Side Story, the Sharks and Jets are actually talking. ) So do I. Were you named after the Oscar winning film, or my love life?
It's not the kind of male escort you're thinking. I took little old ladies to the theater and out to dinner to try and find the shapeshifter that was preying on them.
[So no, Wynonna isn't going to get a whole lot of juice out of that.
"Hence why I was asking about the other stories."]
[Waverly seems to make a face at that because did she though? When she crashed and burned a perfect relationship after her partner made an incredibly romantic sacrifice for her?
Yeah, she's not so sure. But she doesn't contradict Wynonna in front of their new friends. "I guess."]
Next in line was probably Haught. How is she these days?
[And Waverly makes a bigger face. "She's great. Last I checked, anyway."]
[His face towards Waverly turns sympathetic, because he hadn't even given a thought to the fact that they might have split up. He opens his mouth to say he's sorry, and Waverly waves it off.
"Don't worry about it. You couldn't have known. Hey, why don't I go get everyone a round of drinks. Great? Great."
And after taking orders, she will dart off towards the bar, wanting to escape the awkwardness of that particular topic.]
How'd you know? I have a line of suitors out the door of the homestead, perving on my shoe size and ignoring my high school reputation. Can't shake 'em off with a stick or a Fairy Godmother.
( She does alright. It's not a life, by any means. She has friend with benefit to her name, but it's not public knowledge. She tells herself she doesn't want anyone to know her business, anyway, but it's as much his decision as hers.
Just because curses are broken doesn't mean Wynonna can ever stop being Wynonna. People come for Peacemaker, they come for Purgatory. At least there's varying genders in Purgatory megalomania. One villain was even genderless.
And Eve is out there in the world somewhere, still, isn't she? )
What about you? Don't tell me, you're married to the job, but really, it's more like a family and everyone really opens themselves up to one another, and you're in therapy, and really digging into the Dolls of it all.
If the Underground is a family, it's the more dysfunctional than most.
[It's what happens when you pull together a bunch of people who fit nowhere else in the world and have a lot of their own traumas that they're working through. Even Crash, for all their glibness and charm, has their own share of demons.]
But the married to the job part isn't far off base.
[Sure, there had been flings here and there, because contrary to popular belief he is a man who enjoys that kind of company. But none of them were Wynonna.
Which makes sense. There's only really one Wynonna Earp.]

[Dolls, knowing he doesn't have a choice as they will be meeting the Earps eventually, sighs and points.
"The one on the right is Wynonna, the left is her sister, Waverly."]
Damn. She's way too hot for you.
["Excuse me?"]
I'm just saying, she's at minimum a nine and your personality puts you at a seven on a good day.
["I'm regretting bringing you, you realize."
Meanwhile, Waverly glances over at the people that came with Dolls and points out: "So did you."]
no subject

no subject
If you're not going introduce us, I will.
[Dolls makes a grab for their shoulder (8) but Crash slips away (12), making their way over to the Earp sisters with a smile.]
Howdy. I'm Crash.
[Waverly smirks before holding out a hand to shake his. "Waverly. That's Wynonna."]
It is a pleasure to meet you both. I just have to say, I have so many questions.
no subject
Incoming. ( So this won't be West Side Story, the Sharks and Jets are actually talking. ) So do I. Were you named after the Oscar winning film, or my love life?
( That's one of your questions, isn't it? )
no subject
Neither. It's after a Dave Matthews song. Do you have fun Dolls stories that we have not heard because he would consider them embarassng?
no subject
( And all's well that ends well.
"Crash, what could best Dolls going undercover as a male escort," )
I have to hear that story. That's a better story!
no subject
[So no, Wynonna isn't going to get a whole lot of juice out of that.
"Hence why I was asking about the other stories."]
no subject
( Sorry, Dolls.
"That's a story?" Aalis asks. )
no subject
Which, knowing Dolls that may seem obvious, but it also wasn't a very high bar to clear.]
Thank you, Waverly.
no subject
( Maybe Jeremy. Robin. Ish. Not Wynonna. )
no subject
Yeah, she's not so sure. But she doesn't contradict Wynonna in front of their new friends. "I guess."]
Next in line was probably Haught. How is she these days?
[And Waverly makes a bigger face. "She's great. Last I checked, anyway."]
no subject
Smooth move. Never ask about the ex.
( "Haught?" Alice asks, curious about the she in this equation. )
no subject

no subject
( Basically, this is just to Crash and Doc at this point. )
no subject
[Crash has spotted Julian in the crowd, and like a magpie searching for something shiny they're off to poke at something more interesting.]
But me bringing up a breakup I didn't realize happened is probably what scared your sister off.
no subject
( She's totally buy the round if she were ever the type to buy rounds. )
no subject
[And politeness does not negate the fact that Waverly practically flew to the bar to get away from the conversation.]
Can I ask what happened with her and Haught?
no subject
( It's more complicated than that and she owes him more. They are closer than this. )
Girl meets girl. Girl loses girl, literally, to the garden. Girls find each other again. Girl makes ultimate sacrifice for girl.
( And it isn't enough. )
Things never got less complicated. Only more. For all of us.
no subject
That's a shame. They seemed like they were really happy.
[But that was years ago, and he should know better, that things don't last.]
no subject
( She takes a big gulp, finishing her drink. )
Not being able to remove a homicidal bride's dress on the day of the wedding was probably not a good omen for things to come. For either of us.
no subject
What about you? Any special someone back in Purgatory?
