I'd say this is pretty unusual. One minute I'm kicking around the old distillery, the next I'm... wherever you said this place is. Where'd you say, again?

None of my business. Right.

Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered by all of this attention, but don't you got other things you should be doing? If you're as busy as you say you are, you oughtta get to work. Time waits for no man. Or woman. Whatever it is they say.

Besides, you don't need to worry about me; I ain't a difficult customer. I can keep myself plenty entertained. Might even turn a quick profit, I find the way in. And don't I always?

I've got a knack for survival, after all.

Food supplies are limited, and liquor supplies are even more so. You'd be appalled.

[byanyname]

My blood's curdling already.

Those cats ever clear out, let me know. Maybe I can bring in a shipment. Get something started.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I think you'd like the other place I'm stuck better. Business does well there.

[A pause.]

Anybody explained that to you? You can be multiple places at once. Makes for a complicated conversation.

[byanyname]

[He blinks, tries to decide whether Meyer's screwing with him, then decides to go along with it. What the kid's saying makes about as much sense as anything here. Mickey can work out the truth of it later.]

I'm getting a real education now. You ever run into yourself?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

No, but I'm sure there're people who have. There might be another you out there somewhere.

[He shudders to think.]

In any case, I'm in two of these... games. It doesn't make much sense, but most of this doesn't. You learn to live with it.

[byanyname]

[Mickey doesn't really want to dwell on that, either - the fuck kind of place is this? - so he shrugs off the thought with a laugh.] Just think of the fun me and myself could have.

So, what, one day you just wake up somewhere else?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I'm thinking of the mess you and yourself could make.

[A nod.]

That's the basic idea, yeah. You wake up somewhere else, you're stuck there, and you figure out how to adapt.

[byanyname]

Like I said: you're too serious.

Anyway, that doesn't sound too out of the ordinary. [Minus the sabertooth tigers, but can they be any worse than having some hopped up, half-faced rogue show up and stick a gun to your head.] 'Cept it sounds like the options are maybe a little bit unusual.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Did I mention that if you end up in a place like that, you tend to run into people from the future? That's out of the ordinary.

[byanyname]

All right, all right. So maybe it is different. Still, all comes down to finding a way to do business, don't it? With present people, past people, future people, whoever. Maybe me and myself'll end up doing business with our grandfather, ehheh.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Sure, it's all about business. And in some places, business is better than others. Hopefully you'll be lucky enough to end up in one of the better places, if you end up anywhere at all.

[byanyname]

Mm. I get the feeling I might just be stuck around here for a while. Anyway, no sense worryin' about what ain't happened yet. Seems like there's enough to look into as is.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

There is. And I have no doubt in your ability to entertain yourself.

[byanyname]

Ain't you a sweetheart?

Listen, you hear anyone's looking to get into the trade, you let me know, all right?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Sure, I'll keep that in mind. I'd say good luck, but you probably don't need it.

[byanyname]

Ehhheh, you got that right. You can have it. And watch out for cats.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I'll keep that in mind. See you around.

[byanyname]

Ciao, Mister Meyer.


((ooc-ps meyer is lovely, and i want to give him a cookie now.))

[recognize_an_opportunity]

((OOC: Well, he quite loves cookies -- and all sweet things -- so he'd probably appreciate that. And you have no idea how excited I was to see Mickey. I may have made a ridiculous giggling noise.))

[byanyname]

((then cookies he shall have. :D probably not baked by mickey because that'd be a disaster and a half. and if mickey could get the whole world to start giggling, he'd be a pretty happy camper, yep.))

[recognize_an_opportunity]

((Mickey would put drugs in the cookies and I just know it. And although I'm not sure Meyer is physically capable of giggling -- or having fun -- I certainly am. And holy crap season 4 starts next week.))

[byanyname]

((he absolutely would. and possibly see if he could get anyone to pay for a glimpse of drugged-up meyer. he might even split the profits if you put a gun to his head. at the very least, it might give poor, funless meyer a taste of sunshine. AND YES season four; need to find me a way to watch it, though worst case, tumblr'll tell everything, anyway. oh, tumblr. oh, season four. SO MUCH DRAMA IN NY ughyes.))

[recognize_an_opportunity]

((Drugged-up Meyer has happened in... both games that I have him in. Clearly I hate him. Then again, I also play Jimmy in a game, so apparently I just have a thing for characters who suck at having fun. HOPEFULLY someone will have season 4 streaming somewhere. The drama in NY is going to be delicious.))

[byanyname]

((pfff, you just want to expose li'l lansky to fresh experiences. the fact that you've a jimmy is also quite excellent; the more serious-face running around, the merrier? or something. but yes, all the drama must be had. oh, rothstein. oh no.))

[trenchknives]

((No, see, it's different; with Jimmy, it's pouty (yeah, I had to switch journals just to say that, I'm ridiculous, I know.) Well, I can pretty much guarantee that whatever drama goes down, Mickey will be right in the middle of it, yet magically staying safe and alive. At least, I hope so.))
