That Snarky Episode (which is actually every episode)

[andmisterhyde]

Hyde is at the bar, in his Stones shirt and jeans, looking over a mess of eight-tracks and cassettes. His boot is tapping to some invisible beat, and he's smoking. The snark implied in the title has not yet happened, but rest assured it will if you join his thread.

And if that's not a sell, I don't know what is.

Shadow's at the bar again.

She'd sleep there if she could.

"What in Fortune's name are those?" she asks, sliding over a few stools.

[andmisterhyde]

Hyde smiles up at her. "Shady, man. These are tapes-" He holds up a cassette of Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On. "-and these are eight tracks." And he holds up an eight track of Alice Cooper's School's Out. "They're technology for recorded music. Or something like that."

[shadythief]

She studies Let's Get It On for a moment with obvious amusement - and interest - before picking it up and examining it.

"This thing contains music?"

[andmisterhyde]

Hyde nods. "Yep. That particular one contains Kelso's booty-snatching music. You might wanna be careful with it."

[shadythief]

She sets it down and smirks. "Your friend snatches as well as you?"

[andmisterhyde]

Hyde takes a quick drag off his cigarette.

"Kelso tries, man, but he doesn't always succeed."

[shadythief]

Shadow nods. "Perhaps he tries a bit too hard at times?"

She knows the type.

[andmisterhyde]

Hyde grins.

"Kelso's life has been all about trying too hard."

It's funny when friends get hurt.

Even if Shady has no idea what he's talking about, Hyde's entertaining himself.

[shadythief]

She merely raises an eyebrow and orders herself a drink. She's amused that he's easily amused, however.

"Beer for you?"

[andmisterhyde]

"You know it." Hyde takes a drag, his eyes roving slowly around the bar.

"You need to teach me to steal stuff sometime, Shady. I'll never get started on my life of crime and incarcertaion without a smokin' chick for a teacher, y'know?"

[shadythief]

A chuckle and the beer's in front of him. She rests her chin in her hand and studies him for a moment.

"Stealing a pouch is quite different than stealing something large. You'll need plans and a good deal of training before I'd let you do any real damage."

[andmisterhyde]

Hyde waggles his eyebrows. "I think you've trained me plenty, baby. I'm definitely ready for some real damage."

[shadythief]

She laughs and reaches over to ruffle his hair, then adds a quick kiss on the cheek.

"I've got something to attend to back in my city. I'll be back later tonight, if you're interested."

She's the picture of virtue, really.

[andmisterhyde]

Hyde pets his beer and nods to her a little.

"Yeah, whatever, man. I've got beer, so I'm all set."

[shadythief]

"Simple pleasures."

And then she's gone.
