well I live with Snakes and Lizards

Hey Cor---

Jesus Christ what was that.

[holding his chest in mock fear]

From:

Hey.

[Unfazed by the phasing Captain. He does give Jack a cool look though.]

Doors were made for a reason.

[Sitting where Lee is, be it the bar or a table.]

From:

[Returns the look with a slightly cheeky smirk and holds up both his hands to make a W.]

Whatever.

[Smiles to Lee, who gets a genuine apology.]

Sorry, just a quicker form of transportation. Nice to see you, Lee.

From:

[Drinking his beer]

Hey, Jack, right? Here to help me get drunk?

[Pushes a beer Cori's way]

Drinks are on me.

From:

[A stare at that W. Then a roll of teeth, though it's ahrd to actually roll teeth, and he catches that beer.]

Thanks.

[Watch him gulp and gulp!]

From:

[A silent 'bite me' back to the roll of eyeteeth ... rattle of eyeteeth ... roll of eyeteeth, whatever and shrugging out of his coat to hang it on a chair, ordering a water.]

I am indeed!

From:

Thanks.

I appreciate it.

So Blue hasn't convinced anyone to suicide today?

From:

[Tipping his sunglasses down so his teeth feign a little 'snap' at Jack's silent remark.]

I don't know. I don't think so, but I'll help him with clean up if I have to.

[Gulp.]

From:

He got in a couple good shots on me but I'm fairly thick skinned so it all sort of bounced, particularly when I kept telling myself, 'he's cursed'.

[Sipping his water, relaxing back.]

Your guy on the other hand is an idiot and doesn't have the curse to place blame on.

[Glance at Cori. Was that indelicate?]

From:

[Leans his head over to look at Jack]

....if I make out with you, right here at the table, is that rude to Cori?

From:

He'll feel like a complete ass tomorrow.

[Kind of feeling bad about being out while Blue makes a fool of himself, but...!]

I couldn't catch him even if I tried.

[Gulp! Then a look at Jack, and Lee. His hands go up in that 'Not my problem.' sort of gesture.]

From:

And you'd feel bad about duct taping his fingers across his mouth to shut him up till midnight. As long as he's not getting himself killed.

[Takes off wrist strap and tosses it at Cori where he can check the net real quick to make sure Blue isn't pissing off someone who would hurt him seriously.

Eyes Lee with appreciation but smiles sadly.]

Normally I would not turn you down, handsome but my life is complicated enough.

From:

Good to know I still have charm.

[Takes another drink]

It's also good to know that someone in this City won't take Tony's side other than Cori.

From:

[He has no idea how to use the thing, so he presses a button that changes the Coliseum's music from Guns 'n Roses to The Carpenters.]

.....

[Tossing the strap back at Jack to deny responsibility.]

From:

[Changes the music over to NIN and then calls up the Net to make a quick scan.]

Well, at least he's agreeing with Rose.

[Sighs and goes to put the strap back on his arm.]

I'm not taking any sides, I'm here for the water.

From:

Who's agreeing with Rose? What? What?

[He's obviously already a little drunk]

From:

[Waving a hand at Lee.]

Blue. Don't worry about it.

[Water for Jack and beer for himself, Lee must have gotten a head start.]

From:

Rose Tyler.

[Further explanation for the person cheerfully getting inebriated. Okay, not cheerfully but the getting inebriated part works.]

From:

[Moving along!]

So.

So.

So I really actually hate getting drunk. But you know what I hate? I hate that...

I hate Henry. There we go. He's an asshole.

[Beer: drink]

From:

Met the guy only once, and not even in person. I don't think he appreciates my attitude.

[Said with er... pride.]

From:

Easier to hate Henry then to hate Tony for letting Henry do this to him?

[Gives Cori a sideways glance]

You have an attitude?

[Needling is ... needly.]

From:

Oh, no, see - I hate Henry because he told me to my face I was useless, and that the only reason I'm allowed to live is because I make Tony happy.

Tony, I'm mad at. You don't hate people you love. Not like that.

[eyebrow up at Cori]

I applaud you.

From:

It's a sunny attitude.

[A smirk at Jack and Lee, then a gulp!]

Been of an ass, that Henry.

From:

Only if you drew two dots on your hip and used your ass crack for the smile.

[Fired back to Cori. It's done with affection.]

You and Henry need to talk and get Tony out of the middle of it or either you need to cut it and walk away.

[More drinky of the water!]
