55

[whitetwoguns]

One thing that is pretty swell about May is that after Cinco de Mayo, all the tequila is cheaper. I think they got plenty of specials going on. I've always been a guy who likes his Mexican food and drink. South of the border is where the good shit is at. The bad shit too. What's a few bad patches though to get what you want? Anywhere you go, there'll be crime. Some places you can see it without having a magnifying glass.

I don't know much about this fuss for fucking ice cream but I could go for a drink. Tacos if they got any.

[Jimmy's just going to saunter right up when Mr. White is talking, giving him that quintessentially half-cocky half-cheesy grin.]

Hey.

Action

[whitetwoguns]

[Midsip, White turns. At first he has apprehension on his face. Hey is a pretty neutral greeting and he wasn't expecting anyone. Oh. A smile breaks on his face too.]

Son of a bitch. Have a seat.

[The stool is yours beside him, Jimmy.]

How the fuck're you?

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

[He plops onto the stool gladly.]

Well, I'm a hell of a lot better, since we got outta that damn prison. You?

Action

[whitetwoguns]

Same. Even better then that. I fucking hate that.

[Now he'll take a hearty sip.]

You want something?

[Since they're having specials that is.]

Confidentially speaking, pal... you been in before?

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

Yeah, I'll have whatever you're havin'.

[He shakes his head.]

Nah, but I ain't sayin' there haven't been times where I probably shoulda been.

[He just hasn't gotten caught for most of what he's done.]

Have you?

Action

[whitetwoguns]

Another.

[Some fancy tequila concoction. Sunrise, sunset. One of those. Delicious that's what it fucking is.]

Hey. I think that no matter who anybody is, they have their moments.

[White shifts in his chair. With no where to go and because he started with the direct questions he has to answer.]

Yeah. Twice. It's all bullshit. This time wasn't as bad because of how long. It's still a lock up.

[And since he hasn't felt entirely the same. Back to normal is exactly what he wants but what the fuck is normal.]

Real glad we made it.

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

I'm glad we made it too, but y'know, it's bullshit anyway. We didn't even get a fair trial. Back home, at least, we get a fuckin' trial before they put us away.

[Or you get shot, but that's not quite the same.]

What'd you do to get locked up those two times?

[He's not sure if Mr. White'll answer the question, but he might as well ask it, right?]

Action

[whitetwoguns]

Trial. Sentencing. All that piss and shit.

[Delightful. Yeah. Absolute respect for the system. Larry shifts some and doesn't recognize any faces hanging around. He leans closer to Jimmy. His demeanor, what he knows of him makes it easier to spill some beans. He's a young family man, he wants to get his life together. Not like he'd fuck him over.]

Armed robbery.

[They had a frank crime discussion before with the curse that made him talk too fucking much.]

Re: Action

[trenchknives]

[Armed robbery is kind of what he was guessing, given the conversation they'd had before, but it's kind of good to hear confirmation when the other guy isn't cursed, too.]

Yeah? Did you at least rob somethin' good?

[He has some experience with that particular crime himself, but he's never been arrested for it, thankfully.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

Cinco de Mayo...? What exactly is that?

[whitetwoguns]

It means the 4th of May, it's a Mexican holiday. Something about winning a battle.

[majorcrotchgrab]

Sort of like the American 4th of July?

[whitetwoguns]

Nah. I mean, it's a celebration but not any independence day. I made the mistake of that. Not one I'd soon forget.

Good eats come out of it.

[majorcrotchgrab]

Ahh.

I don't think I've tried much Mexican food...

[whitetwoguns]

What's stopping you? I thought you're an adventurous guy.

[majorcrotchgrab]

What kind of food do they make?

[whitetwoguns]

Burritos, tacos, taquitos... They're made with rice, beans, tortillas--these sorta flat bread like pieces. I could describe em until the cows come home but you need to experience em!

[makingastatement]

I knew they had tequila, but they've got Mexicans here?

[whitetwoguns]

Sure they do! That's how they got some fucking delicious drink and food here.

[makingastatement]

What's so great about it?

[whitetwoguns]

Are you kidding? Tacos, burritos, taquitos, guacamole.... that's just a start.

[makingastatement]

Guaca-what?

[whitetwoguns]

Guacamole. It's this dip made out of avocado. You haven't had any? Jesus, pal you haven't lived.

[makingastatement]

I'll keep an eye out for it.

[whitetwoguns]

I'll do you one better. Lunch, my treat.
