Case 187

[manofgnee]

You know, it's sort of nice, seeing all the happy married couples on the network today.

I know it's a curse, or maybe it's not, sometimes it's hard to tell with these things, but...either way, be happy and enjoy it!

As for me, I'm off to go have a beer. Or maybe several. Depends on if its good beer.

True that, man. Still, I'm glad to be your vacation spot.

Hey, wanna watch Godzilla movies? I got a ton!

[totallyinaband]

Yeah, sounds awesome.

[Stephen pulls himself off the couch to go root around in his bag from the liquor store. He comes out triumphant holding the tequila and a few limes.]

No point doing this sober, right?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[Hanna grins and nods, getting up to get the dvds all set up.]

Sober for Godzilla? Never!

[totallyinaband]

[Stephen sets to work finding shot glasses. Yes, he is comfortable enough in your home to go pawing through your cupboards, Hanna. True friendship.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

We should make a Godzilla drinking game.

[totallyinaband]

I say one for every time there's a close-up of someone's face running away screaming.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Also, if the city is Tokyo. Which means you get a shot right off the bat, usually.

[totallyinaband]

[Stephen knocks back his first shot.]

Oh man. You have no idea how much I fucking needed that.

[He slides over the back of the couch to land beside Hanna.]

One for every time a woman faints?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

One for stuff with scientists!!

[totallyinaband]

Just, for scientists existing?

[Stephen shrugs.]

Works with me, man.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

No, no, no, just for scientists doing sciency stuff.

[totallyinaband]

That totally IS what they exist for, though!

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I know, but...using science to defeat Godzilla.

[totallyinaband]

Okay, fine. A shot for every time they use science to defeat Godzilla.

[Stephen knocks back another shot, and gives Hanna a sideways glance. He's consumed enough booze by this point to be able to consider broaching the topic of feelings for possibly a second.]

You've been okay though, man? I mean, lately and everything? You've just seemed - I dunno - kind of withdrawn a lot of the time.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'm okay, Stephen...

...I guess I'm homesick. I miss Antoine...[He sighs and shrugs, taking another shot.]

Plus, all these love and feelings curses? Makes me feel kinda empty, somehow. Dunno.

[totallyinaband]

Yeah. Sometimes I think these curses are just trying to give people a hint.

[Another shot. Is needed for this.]

That friend of your from back home. You do talk about him a lot. We you and he...?

[Not looking at you. Totally not looking anywhere.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...[SIIIGH.]

Yeah. Just once. Here. He was here once, and there was a curse, and...well, curse. Yeah.

Just that once though. Other than that, we were just friends...he's just...he was just my first friend. Ever.

[totallyinaband]

Ever ever?

[That needs a pause for thought.]

I guess, it really sucks that you miss him, right? But at least it still means that you care about him.


Sorry, man. I didn't mean to bring the mood down.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, ever ever. How sad is that?

[He shrugs and smiles a bit.]

It's okay, man. I know I'll see Horatio when I go home. I miss him, yeah, but...well, what can I do?

Hey, we got monster movies to watch.
