8th Opportunity :: Video

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[Those who knew Meyer well enough to visit the casino -- or to work there -- might have noticed that he hadn't been there for the last two days. That was unlike him; normally, he couldn't stand to be away from supervising any of his projects for long. When he turns the video on on Saturday morning, though, there's something different about him.]

I'll say one thing -- going home and coming back here sure changes your perception of the way time moves in general.

[Maybe that's it. He does look older, somehow, his features slightly sharper.]

As near as I can tell, it's been two days since I was last in the City.

[He'd gone back and viewed network posts, tried to figure out some kind of timeline, and ultimately guessed fairly correctly.]

So. Two questions. First of all, am I too optimistic in hoping nobody wrecked my casino? Second of all, does anybody have any cigarettes? I could've sworn I had some in my pocket, but...

[He pats his pocket and comes up empty-handed.]

And the ones that were in my drawer're gone, too.

[He sounds more perturbed about the lack of nicotine than about the fact that he had, apparently, gone home and come back.]

[[OOC: Yes, Meyer has been canon updated -- he's now from near the end of Season 3 -- and he's experiencing the Cold Turkey curse this weekend, which means that he's not going to be able to get any cigarettes all weekend. Tragic.]]

I haven't even been here that long and I can already agree with that.

Sorry I didn't ask before -- what's your name?

Leslie. [ She still hasn't decided if she wants to give out her last name or not. ] You?

Name's Meyer. Nice to meet you.

Yeah, you too, Meyer. I hope you find some cigarettes. [ Well. "Hope." Being an EMT, she's not exactly a huge fan of people smoking and would prefer them not, but it's his life. She's not going to preach. ]

Thanks. And hey, if you ever need a place to come gamble, I run a great little card room. Sometimes the curses are just bad enough to get us feeling the need to drown our sorrows.

[ The curses and stuff that happened back home right before she was pulled here.

She nods slightly. ] Cool, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the invite.
