[OOM: Chris talks to her dad about what's been going on back home.]Chris loves free stuff and isn't paying attention when she gets back in the bar. That's why she grabbed a couple of the free mints without thinking and popped them in her mouth

"My condolences," drones a woman in Chris's vicinity. She is nursing a glass of red wine. Not her first glass of wine for the evening. Not by a long shot.

Chris glances at the woman, then at the bar and finally, at the woman again. "It was the mints. Wasn't it?"

Damn her love of free things!

[slasherofprices]

"It was the goddamn bloody mints." Skinner would spit here if he didn't have any manners. "Never take anything free here. Ever."

"Yeah, I know," Chris sighs, running a hand over her face and resisting the urge to bang her head off the bar. "I should have learned after the crazy candy last year."

Or after talking to her dad about what just happened in the bar. That would have been good too.

"I should have learned after losing my memory because of an apple--all of a month ago, if that."

[geeky_agent]

"I wasn't around for that." While there were some things she'd love to forget, there were things she couldn't and wouldn't. Finding out once had been hard enough.

Then, remembering they skipped something, she mentions, "I'm Chris, by the way."

"Simon. A pleasure." Right now he sounds and looks as if even the most pleasurable thing in the world would cause him much misery. At least her name is Chris. She needn't worry that some joker would try to make her name gender appropriate. Anyone who calls him "Simone" is getting a beat down to rival the one he'll give Nicholas Angel in a year.

"Nice to meet you." Alcohol seems like a very, very good idea right now so Chris orders herself a beer.

"Any idea how long this lasts?"

[OOC: I'm heading to bed. Slowtime?]

[slasherofprices]

"Not a clue. Until someone creates an antidote, I suppose."

[ ooc: surely! ]

[geeky_agent]

Her sip of beer turns into a near chug. Alcohol seems like the best way to get through this since throwing a fit would only land her in the cells.

"Well, on the bright side, I guess this is a good excuse to stay in here and skip work for a while."

[slasherofprices]

"I suppose," he says with a sigh. He doesn't sound too enthusiastic about skipping work. One would think a man wouldn't hop skip and jump at the thought of working at a grocery store, but most men aren't Simon Skinner.
