Cyrus is sitting at a table near the back of the room, reading a book about Max Schmeling and Joe Louis. If there's one thing he misses from being alive, it's a good boxing match. Some would tell him the sport is barbaric, and he would would agree that it's not what it was. But it's still a hobby, even here, and at least he can always read about

Guppy trips over the dean's table, and spills coffee everywhere.

[dean_o_dell]

The dean is not amused. He is very close to calling Guppy a clumsy oaf. And then recalls that as a bartender, it's not a good idea to react that way. Which doesn't mean he's not very annoyed.

"Careful!"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose." Guppy says, somewhat more snarkily than usual.

[dean_o_dell]

Cyrus calms a bit. "Yes, of course, sorry." Which doesn't mean that there isn't coffee all over the place.

"What're you reading?"

It's been a while since they last talked, but that doesn't prevent Madolyn from looking perfectly cheerful, if a little tired.

[dean_o_dell]

"Madolyn...hi." It has been a while. (He wondered, in fact, if her life go busy and she just didn't have any downtime.) "It's a book about hteLouis-Schmeling fight, in 1938. Ever hear about it?"

[madolyn_madden]

"I actually haven't," she admits. "The only thing I can call to mind regarding 1938 is the broadcast of The War of the Worlds."

[dean_o_dell]

"I didn't think so. It was a pretty big event, but if you ren't into boxing, or history, it's not that well known." He signals her to take a seat. "It's been a while, Madolyn. How have you been?"
