[ Rule 02 ] [ voice/english ]

[ilikesoap]

[The comm clicks on and Jack's slightly annoyed and rather confused voice is heard. He sounds like he hasn't slept in days.]

What the hell happened last night? I feel like I've been hit by a truck.

I know I didn't have these bruises when I went to sleep. Was there an accident or something?

[There is a groan as he moves. Jack has discovered yet another

[Herz...probably shouldn't be doing this...but he wants answers. He's been stewing over it, but in the end, he wants to know.

Maybe this guy was too wasted when they fought to remember it clearly...but he's gotta try.]

You--you know a guy named Tyler Durden?

[ilikesoap]

What? Yes.

[Voice has perked up immediately. He sounds all serious now.]

Where is he?

[meinxxherz]

I dunno. I thought--I thought you would.

[ilikesoap]

[Sigh. You got his hopes up there]

If I did I would have found him by now and-- wait.

How do you know that name?

[Oh my gosh. Is Tyler on the boat!?]

[meinxxherz]

You--you really don't remember, huh?

Were--w-we--were--were you drunk, or something?

[Herz would probably be more sympathetic if he were, but Christ.]

[ilikesoap]

Probably yes.

Wait. I talked to you? About Tyler? When was this?

[meinxxherz]

Couple'a days ago.

...Name's Herz. But you...y-you--you don't have a clue who I am.

You don't...remember talking to Tyler?

[ilikesoap]

Herz. Right. I'm Jack.

Sorry, I don't remember talking to you at all.

[Pause] And I haven't seen Tyler in weeks. Since before I got here.

[meinxxherz]

[That...

Hmm...]

You mentioned him. You...y-you-you might've just been...really drunk.

[He doesn't sound sympathetic about this, though. You're an asshole when you're drunk.]

[ilikesoap]

[He's a little thrown off by your tone there Herz.]

What the hell did I say? Hold on. No. Don't answer that. Can I talk to you in private or something?

[Surely he didn't spill the secrets of Fight Club, Project Mayhem and whatever other Tyler induced secrets he's hiding.]

[meinxxherz]

If-if--if you're sober, sure.

[Is that telling enough for you? Raging, grade A jerk intoxicated. Yeah. That's you.]

[ilikesoap]

[Jack's wondering what the hell he did when he was drunk to put Herz so on edge. Probably the same thing that got his face so beat up and his ribs so bruised.]

I'm heading to Sergei's now if you've got time.

[meinxxherz]

Ah...I'm...

Yeah. I-I'll--I'll meetcha there.

[Dude, He's already there.]

[ilikesoap]

Thanks.

[Jack will be bursting through the door aaaany second now.]
