She's a bit surprised at the spontaneous voicetest...

[gatorfights]

Well well well, this sure is something. Not sure what, but something.

Didn't think you'd do it, to be honest. Didn't think you had it in you. But here I am, and I guess I might as well make the best of it. And I need a drink, which means I guess you might as well make yourself useful. Looks like we've both got something to do.

[element_wizard]

Sure. He... or she that has some of the banned substance is going to make the money.

[gatorfights]

Which is why I could use a drink right about now, if I'm going to be taken away from my work like this. You mind getting me something, honey?

[Make yourself useful, Alec. Bring her booze.]

[element_wizard]

What would you like?

I can get you anything.

[He can be a useful puppy.]

[gatorfights]

[Well. If he's useful, maybe he can stick around.]

Bourbon. And believe me, I can tell the difference between the good stuff and the stuff that's been watered down so much it'd quench your thirst before it got you drunk, so don't try me.

[element_wizard]

[Well. He vanishes. So much for sticking around?

But a few seconds later he reappears with a glass and offers it to her.]

How's this?

[He got bourbon. Not sure if it's good bourbon but it's not the water downed stuff.]

[gatorfights]

[She raises her eyebrow at him, but she takes the offered glass and takes a swig of it anyway.]

That'll do just fine. I'd ask where you got it from, but I probably wouldn't believe you anyway.

[element_wizard]

New York around 1946.

[He stole it from his alternate's Andrew's stash.]

[gatorfights]

Glad to hear they know how to do things right in New York by then. From what I've seen of New York so far, I was worried.

[element_wizard]

Well, Prohibition has been over for about thirteen years by then.

[gatorfights]

I knew they'd figure it out sooner or later. Can't keep people away from liquor for too long without some consequences.

[element_wizard]

Yeah. I mean people have been drinking since they could make it. Getting them to stop is kinda like getting the sun to stop shining.

[gatorfights]

That's right. And as a Florida girl, I'm pretty damn invested in the sun keeping on shining.

[element_wizard]

[He laughs.]

I like you!

[gatorfights]

Well, thanks, honey. I like you just fine, too.

[element_wizard]

Good. I like it when people like me. It's much better than when people hate me and try to kill me.

Then it just gets awkward.

[gatorfights]

You have that happen a lot? That's something you might want to look into. Can't be good for your continued health.

[element_wizard]

Oh yeah. I've been killed quite a bit. It never stops hurting.

[gatorfights]

You come back from the dead? That's pretty damn convenient.

[element_wizard]

It has its upsides and downsides.

[gatorfights]

What're the downsides? Getting bored after awhile? Having to die repeatedly?

[element_wizard]

Having to die repeatedly, out living everyone you know and love. Out living the planet... out living everything...

[gatorfights]

Now don't start whining about it. I can't abide a whiner. But I can understand why that might be unpleasant.

[element_wizard]

I'm not whining. I'm being melodramatic and angsty. [He was whining.]

[gatorfights]

I don't much care for that, either. You're nice enough to look at, honey, but melodramatic and angsty isn't so nice to listen to.

[element_wizard]

You're right. It's not.

[Mood swing!]

And I'm very nice to look at. You are too. I like the curly hair.
