Day 68\Phonecall\After the blood letting\To all

[shyeyed]

Why...why didn't it....I just...

[He swallows hard. He has to take a few moments to compose himself, rubbing at his eyes.]

E-excuse me.

Would...anyone else like to go down to the pub? I...I'm not a great drinker but...I'm so tired. It's rude, I know but...if anyone is up for it...

....I could...use the company.

[demiurgos_girl]

Sure, why not. It's not rude.

[shyeyed]

Ah, Miss Elaine! It'll be good to have your company.

[demiurgos_girl]

We've all been having a tough week, huh?

[shyeyed]

Oh yes. The rabies, the nightmares...this...it's not fun at all.

[A few moments later there is a response. Sparrow doesn't sound tired as Hanataro but ...exhausted would be a word for it.]

I'll be happy to join y'in your libation, son. Drinking alone is such a messy, depressing business. Time?

[The fog is totally worth the booze.]

[shyeyed]

U-um...I was planning on leaving now. If that's okay?

[mademechief]

All's right with me, lad!

[brb, to the pub!]

[bipolarhellion]

I'll be down at Johnson's serving the drinks if you need an ear.

[shyeyed]

Thank you.

[eyesofaserpent]

I'm up for that.

[shyeyed]

Okay. I'll meet you there.

[eyesofaserpent]

Want me to come get you?

[shyeyed]

I-it's okay Mister Crowley. I...I'll meet you there.

[After getting caught out in the fog and trying to battle her way out of it, Elizabeth had already been a bit defeated.

That the man on the phone wished to take more lives, that one was offered...

She couldn't help, in the most morose way, wanting to tell the sweet man who had helped her save James that she would accompany him.]

If you wish for company, I would be happy to provide it. It has been some time since I've had a strong drink, and I do think the days events...warrant it.

[shyeyed]

I-I think so too, Miss Swann. I-It would be...n-nice to see you a-alive and well.

[nocorsetsplease]

Then I shall be there straightaway, Mister Yamada. I daresay I could use a bit of liquid comfort and good company.

[She smiles, and though he can't see it, it is likely apparent in the melancholy cheer she's placed in her voice.]

I've never... been to the establishment in this Bell Pointe. Does one... need anything?

[Not having currency? Is still a struggle to understand.]

[shyeyed]

Oh! A-ah...r-right. Um. You know that card th-that you got at y-your house? Y-you need that. E-else um...y-you get stuck. It...it's the shiny card that has numbers on it.
