So. This has been a long couple of days. [The look on his face screams 'I am just so done' so much that he doesn't even have to say it explicitly] Any recommendations for a good bar around Nonah? I got a lot of sorrows to drown and not enough booze to keep me going.

[See, now, he doesn't need deets on what's going down, he gets the gist from the other posts he's checked in on and what his little handy welcome pack told him, he pretty much has that down. As insane that it is. What he doesn't have is a good reliable watering hole and that just isn't right. No man should go days, hours or minutes without one.]

If I spend any more time sober, I might actually start reassessing my life and my choices and I don't have time for that kind of shit. So just help a guy out here. I don't mind if I got to pay a little extra for a good drink but I'm not exactly flushed with cash here so let's not go nuts and send me to like the ritziest place in town. Okay? Reasonable. Prices.

[Wait, he should really clarify here because when it comes to finding a bar, you can never be too specific in your wants.]

Just don't direct me to some dive where they water down the drinks or I will come down on you like the hand of God and smite your ass because seriously, don't waste my time or my money. That shit ain't cute and I will come at you. Sensible suggestions only.

[There's a long pause before he adds:]

While we're on the subject of things I need, I got one more request. I need someone who's good with this thing right here. [He means the device, he even gives it a little shake to just display what he means.] I got a few questions.

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Oh, but I love being a Mrs! I do miss my darling Frank. He hasn't yet come to join me here. You'd like him, too—he's every bit the cocktail connoisseur I am!

It's not something I've had confirmed, but it probably makes it easier for them to keep tabs on us if we're registered. But you're right- dressing it up as something else before selling it to people doesn't make them sound very trustworthy.

[ Laurel hasn't registered yet, having not made up her mind on what to do. She knows that she needs to make a decision sooner than later. ]

They have a registration ceremony once a month. You should consider going to the next one and talk with other people. Both registered and not registered. They could probably give you more insight with their own experience.

Try Maurtia Falls instead. First drink to forget's always free.

I know how to be careful. [ Diablo's really not about to question the paranoia; he gets that just fine. ] That's a good idea, though. Everyone thinks these things is probably bugged.

[ That's something they're both probably familiar enough with to figure out pretty easily, he guesses. Given their respective lines of business, past tense or not.

Oh, hey, but that almost gets a laugh, before he wrinkles his nose. ]

Fine with me -- I won't ask you to. Just say when you wanna go, cuz it sounds like you gonna be busier than I am. [ Three is a lot for being here like, five minutes, dude!! Not that Diablo will be drinking either way, but. Whatever. ] You met Harley yet?

James Jesse, nice to meetcha! I've also been known to go by Trickster, Tricky, Tricks, studmuffin, and "please stop."

Not calls so much as... a private message for someone or a group of people here.

[ She rubs idly at her shoulder. ] Hacking is possible, I guess? But I haven't seen or heard of anyone getting hacked since I arrived. So, I'd put the odds at very slim.

Yeah, figured as much. Ain't gonna pry -- well, if I can pry a little, if "kidnapped to an alternate universe" isn't at least one of your sorrows I'll eat my gun.

The Trickster? Can't say I'm loving the sound of that. [People who's alias end in -er tended to be lunatics. Just a stay observation he had. Never trust 'em. Or colourfully dressed lunatics.] I'll just stick to studmuffin if that's all good with you.

[He smirks a little.] If we're trading aliases around this place, so be it. You can call me Deadshot, friend.

They have to be, let's face it. I think I'm gonna change my name on this thing, just to cover my ass from everyone else. It's pretty random who shows here and all, I ain't risking someone like Flag or Waller knowing I'm about.

[There's no telling if they'd show, he's not about to provoke any unwanted attention.]

It's about my luck, ain't it? I never seemed to have much luck on anything back home and then some weird ass sci-fi bullshit goes down and suddenly things are looking up. It's almost a relief. [If Zoe had been here, he would have been kind of okay with it but no, his little girl still needed him. He couldn't accept this place if she wasn't here.]

Oh yeah. She thinks I'm your hot uncle. [He pauses.] Different chick, still all kinds of crazy, huh?

Gotta say, besides one complication, so far? It's not half bad. Compared to where I came from.

[He doesn't miss the jail cell or the fear of having his head blown off but Zoe isn't here. Which meant he couldn't be here. Not long term.] It's a nice holiday, I guess.

From what I gather, it seems like not the sort of place I wanna hang. Just saying.

I can imagine. I bet he's an all right guy to drink with. Much like yourself, I assume.

I'll see you around, Mr. Lawton .

Dirty and Nasty.

[It's just a dive bar, really.]

What kind of car?

Okay, so not literally, but you're from his world and you're kinda like... Uncle-esque.

Anyway. Hi. I'm Harley, but, y'know. Obviously. For the record, you're a lot better looking than the guy I know from back home.

In Maurtia Falls they leave you alone... mostly. Some of them can be quite rude!

[ KILL BILL SIRENS ]

[ He's such an idiot. SUCH A GODDAMN IDIOT. He should have checked the name, why didn't he check the name?! Now he's stuck here, looking like an idiot, kind of wanting to blow something up and kind of wanting to go find somewhere dark to barf like a sick tomcat.

James grins, maybe a little too widely. A muscle in his cheek twitches. His poker face? Has been better. ]

Deadshot. Well, ain't it a small world after all!

You seem to be well on your way.

[ Compliments don't come easily from Locus, but this is basically one of the smartest conversations he's had with an imPort since he's arrived. It's... nice. ]

It will only help, rather than hinder. They can't see everything.

Your world's that bad, huh?

[ Mick nods understandingly. ] See, I'd say this place ain't as bad as my world, but every time I say that I jinx it.

[Just a nod, because Maurtia Falls is definitely all of those things which keeps it perfectly interesting for any who're into the risk of a face punch.]

Why thank you. I've been around for a while, got to try out a whole lotta places, only seems fair that I pass that knowledge onto newbies.

[ Her posture gets even more relaxed, and her whiskers perk up even further. She's very pleased by his response indeed. And she answers cheerfully: ]

Could you imagine? I'd violate health codes all by myself. No, I'm a person.

Either way, man, I ain't gonna worry.

[Either the drink will kill him or his job will. At least he'd be happier with the drink.]

Not a big wine man myself but whatever, I can get behind it. A drink is a drink. Now when you say good beer, do you mean good like an American beer or good like an actual good beer?

Still kinda trippy. I never a had a tattoo that could do that.

[He's assuming laser removal isn't an option either.] Good to know. So I'm probably in the clear. I hate to be paranoid but I never like to be given things I don't know jack shit about. My old phone was set up how I like it, this one isn't.

I don't know if I like the idea of signing up to something without knowing what's what. I'm not that sort of man, I like all my information out there plain and simple. And if they don't want to do it, I don't want to trust them.

[Floyd will have to debate whether or not he wants to do it but honestly, it seems kind of dodgy. He pulls a slight face at the idea.]

Noted. What about you? Did you do it?
