021. Travelling Riverside Blues

[icarustattoo]

[Brock is currently a little ways into the woods, looking around at trees and generally appearing as though he is wandering about like an idiot.

He's not, though.

He's actually looking for the right place to do something, and after about an hour of pacing around and getting nowhere, he pops open his journal and dictates into it.]Alright, so. I'm

Why would you need anywhere to chill that isn't a bar?

[Rethinking...]

Actually, given some recent circumstances, you might be right.

[icarustattoo]

'cause you can't crash at a bar. [Usually.]

What circumstances?

[duchess_archer]

I mean, if the puddle of vomit is big enough, it can take them a while to clean it up. All you need to do is shake all the drunk people until the puke starts to flow.

Ugh. Found out my loss. Don't wanna talk about it.

[icarustattoo]

Then you'd be sleeping in a place that smells like puke.

I dunno, you brought it up, man. But whatever.

[duchess_archer]

[Sigh.] Can't hold my alcohol anymore. Puke is a sensitive subject.

[icarustattoo]

[... wait] I thought you just said you didn't want to talk about your loss.

[duchess_archer]

I changed my mind, okay?!

[...It may be becoming clear at this point that he has inadvisedly, and, flying in the face of good sense, been getting drunk again regardless.]

[icarustattoo]

Anyway, I don't want anybody throwing up in my [clubhouse] cabin. So if you're gonna hang out in it, you can't drink, pal.

[duchess_archer]

All right, all right. Yeah, I'm getting the feeling that tempting fate is a bad idea, anyway. Man, it's just like in college.

[icarustattoo]

You threw up a lot in college?

[duchess_archer]

I mean, who didn't?

[icarustattoo]

Dorks? I don't know.

[duchess_archer]

Hah hah, yeah, not cool guys like us, who had lots of friends throughout our childhoods. Yeah.

[icarustattoo]

Do I know you?

[duchess_archer]

Guess not. Sterling Archer. Secret agent.

[icarustattoo]

Really? Lot of spies around here lately. I'm Brock.
