"I can't believe they didn't call you back."

The monotone of the first man's voice does nothing to lessen his companion's enthusiasm: "I know! I swear to God--"

"You know, maybe that's why you're not allowed to go to Jesus' house to play video games anymore."

"--I was the best person there," Gabe continues as if he hasn't been interrupted at all ( Read more... )

It's been a day since the paratrooper was Bound to Milliways for..what he hopes..is just a mini vacation of sorts. Thankfully he's had a day to clean up though his uniform still looks like its in need of replaceing. Standing off to the side of Bar, Luz carefully lobs a dart in the air towards the awaiting board on the far wall which totally misses the bulls eye which makes him scowl.

When the two men approach the bar he casts a raised eyebrow in their direction. Mostly at the words "nintendo", "pacman", and "Mario".

"You should totally rip your heart out, and give it to the company." Tycho says. To be mean. Of course.

"But I'd get blood on my t-shirt," he points out, glancing up. "And dude, I'm not getting blood on this t-shirt, not even for Reggie Fils-A-fucking-Me."

Yea...ripping ones heart out for a company isn't that good of an idea, but it makes Luz snark a little laugh after he throws the last dart. Giving up on evern improving his game sends him diging a box of Lucky Strikes out from his jacket pocket.

"You know," he says around the cigarette hanging from his lips. "I have no idea what you guys are talking about, but ripping ones heart out is bad. Unless it's to get out of KP."

"It's also funny." Tycho says to the other man, and crosses his arms at Gabe. "Change shirts!"

cardboard_tube February 2 2007, 02:19:17 UTC

"It would be pretty dramatic though," Gabe allows, and eyes the new man. "What the fuck is KP?"

George grins around the cigarette as he finally manages to find the hidden lighten in his jump packet pocket. "Kitchen Patrol- spend all day peeling spuds and playing server at lunch." Shuddering slightly he can remember the pile of taters he and Shifty had to peel once. Evilness thanks to Captain Sobel.

With a flick of his fingers the zippo is open and the smoke lit followed by a click of the lighers lid snaping shut. "Name's George Luz, Easy Company 506th." Then, as an afterthought he adds, "1944."

button_masher February 2 2007, 02:29:14 UTC

"Mm. Spuds." Tycho says idly. "Woah. Wait. Forty-four? Awesome! Well...not...but...awesome 'cause...it's...past..yeah."

cardboard_tube February 2 2007, 02:38:14 UTC

"Dude! 1944! That's World War Two and shit, right?"

See, video games are educational.

Belatedly, Gabe's eyes widen. "Are you from World War Two?"

The two video game expert's reactions make George boggle in confusion a little. Blinking once he looks down at his dirty, torn, and blood stained uniform them back up at Gabe then Tycho. "Naw, mac, we just jump out of planes every day and invade Europe to fight back the Germans."

With a wry little smile George looks back to Bar and asks, very very nicely, "A glass of apple brandy, please." The glass appears leaving Luz to murmer a soft word of thanks even when the ashtray appears next.

"When are you two from? And what the fuck is a Nin- Nint- whatever it is?"

button_masher February 2 2007, 02:46:59 UTC

"That's awesome." Tycho says, RE: the plane jumping and such. "We're from 2007. And..." he'd get to the Nintendo part, but he forsees an interruption by Gabe.

cardboard_tube February 2 2007, 02:59:13 UTC

"That is made of awesome, holy shit."

Gabe is about to ask for details, to compare his knowledge of games such as Medal of Honour to real life, but stops and says, "Nintendo ... is like the best thing in the world ever. How do you not know that? Dude, didn't they have video games in World War Two?"

gotapenny February 2 2007, 03:05:50 UTC

The look that Luz gives the two is priceless- one of shocked emotion with a hint of 'what the fuck?' on the side. Finally his face almost forms into a well der expression as he takes a sip of his brandy. "Well..No. I would guess not. We had games like football, baseball, hunting, things like that."

"What's a video game?"

button_masher February 2 2007, 03:12:17 UTC

Tycho glares at Gabe. "Don't be so effing retarded, please."

cardboard_tube February 2 2007, 03:15:38 UTC

"Whoa," Gabe says to Luz. "Like, real hunting and baseball and football? Outside?"

The very idea is revolutionary.

He blanks on how to explain video games and eventually goes with, "Uh, like games ... on the TV. With controls. Do they-- do they have TV?"

gotapenny February 2 2007, 03:22:36 UTC

Luz opens his mouth again as if to speak then frowns slightly. "You have to be pretty fucking rich to afford one of those things, pal." The glass is set down onto the bartop with a slight clicking sound before George puffs away at the cigarette for a moment. "They say they are going to be the next 'big thing' but, personally, I like the radios better."

At the mention of hunting and baseball, George manages a wide grin. "Ya- we got a Battalion basketball that's pretty decent. Lietuenant Winters is thinking of starting a baseball team if we ever get to go back to England."

And he wouldn't mind the questions. In fact, he might get a kick out of hearing his War is made into a game.
