Agent K strides through the Front Door and scans the bar without breaking a step. He comes to a halt in front of the table where a still amnesiac Agent Zed is scribbling notes about this 'asylum for stage magicians' he’s stumbled upon

Ace stares, attentively. She lives in the Wells household - there's always a use for new curses.

After a few minutes though, she gives K a grin and waves a hand at her pint of Guinness - does he want one? She's definitely not going to try to shout the old guy down.

[k_in_black]

Hey, Agent K is having a good enough day. And a Guinness with Ace can only make it better. The Man in Black smiles and nods.

"--HOGTIE HIS LEGS AND STAMPEDE THE HYPER-BISONS--!!"

[nitro_is_ace]

Ace grins crookedly, and a few moments later there's a pint for K too. Ace tsks at a few of the suggestions - definitely not sporting, those. No chance for a good chase. Points deducted for foul play.

K smiles a silent toast before looking at Zed and then glancing back at Ace.

"Well, you know how it goes. We get a little touchy about memories."

"--CYBER-PARASITES OF STELLAR NEBULA PROCYON--!!"

[nitro_is_ace]

"Little touchy?" Asks Ace, doubtfully. "Hope he's been cleared for coronary disease, he looks like he's just askin' for a stroke or sommat."

What?

Old guys is fragile.

[k_in_black]

K gestures in a not-too-worried way.

"He can take it."

"--GIVE THE GODDAMN ION PROBE ANOTHER SHOVE RIGHT UP THERE--!!"

"Hell, it's good for him. Guy's been under a lot of stress lately."

"Cathartic."

K toasts Ace again.

[nitro_is_ace]

Ace still looks doubtful, but what are you gonna do with old guy Americans?

"Lots of boom an' things t'blow up is more cathartic, in my opinion. More fun, less probing." Ace points out, after a sip of her drink. Of course, this is to be expected from the crazy pyro.

[bring_a_sponge]

K points at Ace. "Now that is an excellent point you've got there, Ace."

There's a moment of silence.

No, wait, Zed's just catching his breath.

"AND THEN--!!"

"So what have you been blowing the living hell out of lately?"

[nitro_is_ace]

"Nothin' much, actually. Got a new mate, so I'm enjoyin' that. An' hunted a giant, sharp-toothed, horned kangaroo-ish critter. It was fun." Hunting with Spoon is a lot more fun than hunting alone.

[k_in_black]

K approves. "Kicking ass is never better than with someone you love."

"And giant, horned kangaroos have to be better than Autons, at least."

"Fucking Autons," adds Zed.

[nitro_is_ace]

"Welcome back, old guy. Want a proper drink?" Ace grins crookedly at Zed, wondering if the quiet is due to lost voice. "Spoon rather loved the kangaroo, but it was sommat of a surprise. Can't say if I can find it again.

[bring_a_sponge]

"Ace," Zed nods. And his voice does sound pretty raspy. He's also huffing quite a lot.

It's hard work being enraged at the injustice of the multiverse. Not to mention the fucking Landlord.

K smiles. "Spoon, huh? Well, now, he's a good man.... Or whatever he is."
