Gus Dickinson: arrested for breaking the third rule

[ostro_goth]

Teja marches in Gus, his hand firmly closed around the small crook's elbow; he put him in a cell, then leaves a message to Security:

Gus Dickinson -- one night for breaking the Third Rule, and exposing his meagre manhood to a young woman barely out of girlhood, and indeed all of the bar that was present at that moment. Has been noted for trouble (

Guppy comes in, limping slightly, and goes over to Gus.

He's kind of technically under arrest too, but there's no reason why he can't do something useful in the meantime.

"Hey Gus. I thought you'd finished your meds now?"

[thanksrainman]

Gus actually laughs a bit. This is unexpected.

"Holy shit. I didn't think he'd actually go find you."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Teja does a good job." Guppy says. "Can you make it quick? I'm kind of arrested too."

[thanksrainman]

Gus sort of loses his composure all together now. "Really?" he asks. "Good job. What'd you do?"

Keep in mind, Guppy, this sort of thing is practically normal for Gus.

"Knowing my luck, fractured my coccyx."

Guppy leans against the wall, experimenting with a couple of positions to find the least painful angle.

"You have about two minutes while I'm able to get around to get any medication that you're on while Teja hauls Gene's ass in here too."

[thanksrainman]

"I don't actually need anything," Gus says. "I just wanted to make that fucking circus clown run around, trying to find you all night."

Well, at least he's honest.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Well at least you're honest. Do I need to do a mental state exam on you for the streaking, or did you have a reason?"

[thanksrainman]

"It was her fault," Gus says. "And I wasn't streaking. I just dropped 'em."

Sort of. He didn't actually get that far, because that damn circus clown stopped him.

"Idiot." Guppy says, but not unkindly.

"If you're okay, I think I'm going to just lie down in a cell with some ice packs while Teja comes back."

[thanksrainman]

"Hey, I had to settle an argument," Gus defends.

"You have fun with that."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Me too." Guppy says. "Looks like we both screwed up."

He limps into a free cell, gets some ice from Baby, and puts it in his ankle while he checks himself for other injuries. Lots of bruises, but hopefully nothing broken.

[thanksrainman]

"Maybe you. I had everything under control the whole time."

Surrrre.

[guppy_sandhu]

"I didn't really plan it out very well." Guppy admits. "I was angry. He was even more of a dick than I thought."

He lies down on the least painful angle he can manage and looks up at the ceiling. His wife is going to be livid when she finds out about this idiotic risk he took, even if it was to defend Jools.

[thanksrainman]

"Tsch. I couldda told you that, pal," Gus says. "Remember? Broken nose? Just a few days ago?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"You didn't tell me who did it." Guppy says, grimacing. "I asked Bar if he was likely to kill or magic me when I was finding out who he was, and she didn't think he would; other than that I'd never heard of the bloke until he started picking on Jools.

How is the nose? Is it symmetrical now the swelling's gone down, or do I need to reset it when we're out of here?"

[thanksrainman]

"I dunno, I think?" Gus is, as usual, not being particularly helpful.
