[intheblanks]

Charmus Jerkus.

Couldn't find the entry in my Latin dictionary, but if we were going by playground rules I'd think all the insults were a backward attempt to hit on me. Except, when he compliments my ass there's just no feeling in it.

[Someone's just amiably on the edge of drunk, chatting into his network device through the background noise of a busy bar.]

So, anyone want to let a Jerkus buy them a drink?

Comments

voice;

[hexuality]

My Latin's a little rusty but I wouldn't turn down an offer. Even from a Jerkus.

voice;

[intheblanks]

I'm at the Blue Light. Are you allowed this side of the bar?

voice;

[hexuality]

I only work there when they need the extra help. So yes, Chase, I'm allowed on that side of the bar. Did you want me on that side of the bar?

voice;

[intheblanks]

Of course. But now I can't be sure the hostess is going to be up to scratch.

voice;

[hexuality]

Does it matter as long as there's drinks involved?

[eiremagic]

I didn't even get a bad nickname.

[intheblanks]

You'd never stab someone in the back.

You'd shoot them in the face.

[eiremagic]

And have done.

The other bitch might stab someone in the back, if that's the side that was facing her when she needed the blood.

[intheblanks]

[Yes, he - vaguely - remembers.]

Thought she didn't get out much anymore?

[eiremagic]

Only on our birthday.

And even then only sometimes.

[Voice]

[pinokosthewife]

Maybe it worksh in revershe too and he thinksh you have a shaggy butt. Hee!

[Pinoko, stop that mischief-making. Just because people can't see your face doesn't mean they won't know it's you.

... she also means saggy, but she lisps.]

[Voice]

[intheblanks]

[It's okay Pinoko, he's heard worse from other nurses.]

That's what I'm worried about.

[Voice]

[pinokosthewife]

Awww, well, the fact that he brought it up in the firsht plache is a good shign! You can't mention a tushy without thinking about it and that's a fact.

[Voice]

[intheblanks]

Tushy? [Seriously. But wait, let him process the rest of that.]

I don't - [Splutter.] - I'm not hoping he's hitting on me.

[Voice]

[pinokosthewife]

Oh, really? Could've fooled Pinoko! [She seems to find his reaction funny and giggles about it.]

Wait, I don't think we've met before, right? Hi, I'm Pinoko!

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

What's Latin?

Sure, I want a drink! I, uh, just got here, and I don't have much money, just a little allowance from what Miss Satori gave me back in Gensokyo, so I can't really buy drinks.

[intheblanks]

A corpse of an archaic European language, kept alive artificially by the jargon of religion and science.

>[All of this sounds like she might not be aiming for the kind of drink he means...]

How old are you?

voice;

[perjured]

Has he started in on the hair pulling yet?

voice;

[intheblanks]

No, but I haven't grown it long enough for pigtails.

voice;

[perjured]

[ She chuckles. ] Are you planning on doing that? [ Seeing a Casey look-a-like with hair as long as Chase's was weird enough; she's not sure she could handle seeing it longer without laughing every time they spoke. ]

voice;

[intheblanks]

It would be one way of keeping it out of my eyes.

[In other words, no.]

[brobeforehos]

Were there feeling in the compliments to your ass, you'd be able to file a complaint.

video;

[intheblanks]

But at least I wouldn't feel so objectified.

video;

[brobeforehos]

Your ass doesn't need to half-hearted compliments of others to feel confident, Chase.

video;

[intheblanks]

You're saying my arse should have more self belief?
