[The sound of glasses clinking, people laughing, and Jailhouse Rock. Charles' voice comes over the device, sounding like he may have been doing some drinking and laughing himself.]

Elvis is in residence in the bar I'm living above.

He looks older in person.

[The music segues into Viva Las Vegas.]

Though I'm very much a fan of the new material.

Oh, Elvis is brilliant! I went to go see him in concert. And, and, then we went again. Better curse than the last one anyway.

[groovydream]

In concert, really. I had promised my sister we'd do much the same, but then his war efforts got in the way, you know how it is.

Not exactly a military physique these days, it seems.

[am_i_being_rude]

Well, I've seen a lot of Elvises anyway. Still fun though. And yeahhhh.

Been here long? Don't recall seeing you much.

[groovydream]

Plural? He must have become popular.

[Not that he wasn't in '62, but the market for impersonators was yet to take off. Charles seems to take the prospect quite lightly, but he's also just part the point of tipsy where most people would.]

No, I'm quite newly ensconced. Ensconced, is that the right word? Preferable to trapped. Much cosier feeling. Newly ensconced here.

[ooc: I feel a tad on the slow side but I honestly can't tell if this is still under the Vegas curse or if you've simply had Viva Las Vegas show up ironically.]

Ensconced. Ensconced is a great word. I should use that word more often, 'ensconced'. That is a nicer attitude though, to trapped. Still warding that one off myself. Ensconced almost makes it sound like a nice little hotel stay.
