[trenchknives]

[Jimmy hasn't been around much in the last couple of days. There's a good reason for that, a damn good one, and he's about to make it known. He looks tired, worn down, maybe even a little sick as he turns the communicator towards himself to begin recording.]

I died.

[No preamble, no explanation for the moment.]

I died, 'n I don't know what to think about it. I don't know whether I could've done anythin' to stop it. I don't know why the hell I had to come back to life.

[He rests his chin on his hand, sighing.]

All I know is I could sure use someone to talk to right about now. Or drink with. I ain't picky.

Never met him till he killed me, but he, uh...

[He shrugs, laughs, because it's all unbelievable, really.]

Apologized, though. When I put up this network post.

Re: --> action

[67chevyimpala]

That's fucked up, too, but ina good way... I think.

Re: --> action

[trenchknives]

I think so. He seemed pretty shaken up about the whole thing. Can't blame him. I'd've been shaken up, too.

Re: --> action

[67chevyimpala]

Yeah, no shit.

[He thinks briefly of his demon-self and is glad it wasn't really him. He downs the rest of his whiskey and sets the empty glass in front of him. Damn, but the bar is far away when your legs hurt.]

Re: --> action

[trenchknives]

You want another one of those?

[He gestures to the empty glass. His is empty too, and he knows just how far the walk to the bar can seem when you're hurting.]

Re: --> action

[67chevyimpala]

Actually, yeah, I would. In fact, let's buy a bottle.

[He reached into one of his jean pockets for his wallet.]

And when we've killed it, we'll get another one.

Re: --> action

[trenchknives]

[He laughs and nods, then waves off the offer of the wallet.]

I like the way you think. I got this one, okay?

[And he heads off to the bar to buy a whole bottle. Once he has it, he returns to the table, and pours them both another generous glassful.]

Re: --> action

[67chevyimpala]

[He nods and puts his wallet away.]

Thanks, man. I'll get the next one.

[He likes the way Jimmy thinks, too. Is he going to get wasted tonight? Maybe. Maybe not. He can hold his liquor. Hell, he's a 'functional alcoholic', though he's better than he was.]

Re: --> action

[trenchknives]

[He takes a long swig of his drink, and nods at Dean.]

Okay, you can get the next one, assumin' we're still able to stand up after we go through this bottle.

Re: --> action

[67chevyimpala]

[He laughs.]

I'll be able to stand, Jimmy. If I have to drag you home, I will.

[He downs the contents of the glass and sets it back on the table with perfectly stable hands. He reaches for the bottle.]

Re: --> action

[trenchknives]

Hey, what, you implyin' that I don't have just of high a tolerance as you? I can hold my liquor -- maybe I'll be draggin' you.

[This is good. It takes his mind off of things.]

Re: -->; action

[67chevyimpala]

Maybe you will. Time will tell.

[He pours himself another. Jimmy still has some in his glass, so Dean puts the bottle down.]

Here's looking up your old address.

[And he knocks it back.]

Re: -->; action

[trenchknives]

If we keep drinkin' like this, time'll tell sooner rather'n later.

[He drains his own glass, and immediately pours himself another.]

Re: -->; action

[67chevyimpala]

[Dean snorts.]

Eh, who cares? Let's get blitzed. We're alive. That's worth celebrating.

Re: -->; action

[trenchknives]

I knew I liked you for good reason.

[He raises his glass in a toast, and then drains that one empty, too.]

Re: -->; action

[67chevyimpala]

[Dean laughs.]

It's because of my sparkling personality.

[He refills his own glass and drains it dry. He pours Jimmy another and one for himself, then holds the glass up, looking thoughtful.]

To the good things in life.

Re: -->; action

[trenchknives]

Yeah, must be that sparklin' personality. Don't know what else it'd be, except maybe the fact you like to get just as drunk as I do, apparently.

Re: --> action;

[67chevyimpala]

Drunk is a venerable state of existence, Jimmy. It helps me sleep at night.

Re: --> action;

[trenchknives]

Yeah, alcohol always puts me to sleep, too. But you can't always be drunk, unfortunately. Much as I'd like to try.

Re: --> action;

[67chevyimpala]

Yeah, I know. Sad but true. Still, we can enjoy oblivion while it lasts and the journey getting there of course.

Re: --> action;

[trenchknives]

And the hangover tomorrow mornin'?

Re: --> action;

[67chevyimpala]

Eh, so I sleep in a little. I'm a bit of a night owl anyway.

Re: --> action;

[trenchknives]

[He laughs.]

I like that plan. Always been kinda a night owl myself.

Re: --> action;

[67chevyimpala]

[Dean makes sure their glasses are full, then raises his in another toast.]

To being a night owl.
