[Nathan is slumped on the couch at Dulcie's old flat, idly flicking ash from the joint he's smoking onto the floor. He also has Stephen Stills' cat on his lap and a sequinned cowboy hat on his head. They have sentimental value, okay? Despite all the other signs, however, he looks fairly cheerful.]

So, turns out gambling's best done sober. I've lost count of the amount of times that's turned out badly.

Anyone fancy a drink? I could use someone to buy for me.

I'll buy you a few.

[totallyinaband]

Did you steal my cat again?

[ audio ]

[freedrinkplease]

you look like a fool.

[ TOTALLY helpful, Pig. ]

audio:

[designedtoparty]

Just a few?

audio:

[charring]

I'll buy you quite a lot.

[designedtoparty]

I didn't steal him. I borrowed him. There is a difference.

[totallyinaband]

Just... if you're going to keep him over night make sure to feed him.

And, uh. Sorry about your girlfriend, man.

[ audio ]

[designedtoparty]

I look like a man out for a good time.

I'd have invited you if you didn't keep trying to attack me.

audio:

[designedtoparty]

Thank you. Now we're getting somewhere.

audio:

[charring]

Figured you need it. When and where, Nathan?

[worldofourown]

Sweet? Sour? Straight?

[He means drinks, Nathan. Don't read into it :|]

audio:

[designedtoparty]

Let's say the Blue Light, as soon as possible.

[designedtoparty]

Nah, I might let him go. Does he know his way home?

[He shrugs.] It's fine. People disappear all the time. She might come back.

[totallyinaband]

He can find his way back.

Yeah. She might.

Flattering as your curiosity is, yes, I'm a very straight man. And no, there's no chance you could be an exception. I'm not in the mood for experimentation.

[But what else is he supposed to do?]

[designedtoparty]

You want to come drinking?

[totallyinaband]

Sure, man. I don't have work in the morning.

[worldofourown]

I was referring to your plea for free drinks.

Filthy boy. It's like your mind's always in the sewer...

[But his is too, so he ain't judging B|]

[designedtoparty]

Great. I'd offer to give you your cat back there, but I don't think he'd appreciate a good night out if it slipped him an E and hired him a prostitute.

Hey, when you've been hit on by as many creepy guys as I have you learn to look out. You can never be too careful.

[Look, he knows you were hitting on him, all right. :|]

Still straight. I don't go in for that girly crap.

Video;

[worldofourown]

Tsk, tsk.

~Poor molested you.

[The more you deny, the more he'll try, Nathan.]

Regardless, I'd invite you for drinks. And promise to be a perfect gentleman...

[Until he walks you home and bites you :|]

[eiremagic]

This is pathetic.

[Not as pathetic as Frankie was when Eden left for a month, though]

Video;

[designedtoparty]

This is no laughing matter. For all you know it could've happened!

[Sob, why are you such a creeper?]

You know, this is sounder gayer and gayer every time you open your mouth. I think there's going to be a few of us at the Blue Light if you're interested, though. Stephen's one of your lot if you're looking to pull.

[designedtoparty]

[But of course ~Frankie~ has a free pass to be pathetic. Admittedly it probably helps she wasn't there to see it.]

What, hanging out with friends is pathetic now?

I'll be back in time for breakfast, all right?

Video;

[worldofourown]

I'm only asking you to give it a try. What's the harm?

[Other than the Grievious Bodily type.]

Anyway, whoever this 'Stephan' is, he doesn't sound nearly as engaging.

[Have a smile, Nathan. A big, creepy smile.]
