Which is to say it's night and three completely sane assassins are sleeping.]

I've talked to people! Geez, I'm not a complete hermit. I was thinking about going to the bar and making a few drinks, even.

[sharpasafawkes]

And not your dear teammate? Don't go showering me with gratitude now.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I could make a martini, shaken, not stirred.

[sharpasafawkes]

I don't know what to comment on first, that you thought I haven't heard that one before, or that anyone would ruin perfectly good gin with rubbish vermouth, which is all vermouth really.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

You're british. Everyone assumes you either like that number, or some brandy.

Which isn't an insult to brandy, at all.

[sharpasafawkes]

Brandy's not terrible, but I've had far too many batches of it that went too sweet.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll just do whiskey. Or scotch. Scotch isn't too bad.

[sharpasafawkes]

The problem with scotch is that charcoal's supposed to filter everything out, not end up as a bit of flavor. It's like they looked at vodka and decided they wanted to be different and pretend to enjoy the taste of the sort of thing you use to start a fire.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

It's strong as hell though, which is why the taste doesn't matter after two or three shots.

[sharpasafawkes]

Got a point there, considering the how much it costs at a bar, might as well get yourself drunk on a budget.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

Exactly. That's the only reason scotch is even really a standout.

Man, now I really want to go grab some of the liquor and have myself a mixing party.

[sharpasafawkes]

I still prefer gin, I'll have a better flavor over a little less expense any day.

And where are you going to get that? The closest thing I could find on short notice is a good Spanish wine, just the owner would notice if I nicked a few bottles.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

There's a bar somewhere around here. I heard people talking about it.

[sharpasafawkes]

Two actually, one's inflatable and I wouldn't suggest it, but the other one's good. Not too loud and you can get a decent drink there most of the time.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

Then the second one. Beats going back to sleep, you know?

[sharpasafawkes]

[Thinking about something, making a gesture in the air like he's working something out]

Yeah, I should be fine for that, if we're lucky we can get the local wino to chip in.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

Who's the local wino?

[whassamatta you, Shaun?]

[sharpasafawkes]

[Not saying what he was going over, but straightens up]

Fella by the name of Fenris, you won't be able to miss him on account of the tattoos, his generally sharp personality, his generally sharp wardrobe, and the fact he stands out in a crowd.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

Heh. Must be a sharp fella.

[he stands as well]

Either way, I'm raiding the stores tonight.

[sharpasafawkes]

Why, however did you guess? Now are we going to make ourselves presentable, or are we literally going to raid the place? Either one sounds like a fun little trip.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

Intuition, I guess.

And it's the middle of the night. This is a damn raid.

[sharpasafawkes]

Why you vandal... let me get the sack.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

Deal. I've got the lock picks.

[sharpasafawkes]

[starting to climb out]

I wonder what sort of security they have for the place, there's underage kids here who've got the ability to destroy a house.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but surely said security doesn't apply to a couple of adults who really need a drink.
