Has anybody seen Rube?

He gone walkabout too?

[gimmethemap]

He wouldn't.

I don't know.

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

We-

You tried his room?

[gimmethemap]

No answer.

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

What, so you just knocked?

[gimmethemap]

As opposed to what? Kicking his door down?

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I always figured you the forceful type.

And then there's the kitchen.

[gimmethemap]

That's the first place I looked.

I prefer to give him his space. If he wants to keep to himself, I'm not going to stop him, but I want to be sure that's what happening, and that he hasn't just up and vanished.

Asking the entire barge about a guy's whereabouts might be considered crowding, hon.

[gimmethemap]

It's been more than a week. He can deal with it.

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't doubt that.

...

But either way, there's no point sitting there, ruminating, right?

You thirsty?

[gimmethemap]

Thanks, Mister Cifaretto.

[Private]

Perpetually. Why?

Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

'Cause I'm feeling generous.

What's your poison?

Private

[gimmethemap]

Generous.

Rum, I suppose, but I'm not afraid to try new things, either.

Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

And I'm all outta rum... but I do got some gin and a coupla bottles of Scotch, if you're interested.

Or ho-- there's wine.

Nebbiolo, maybe?

...

You tell me.

[gimmethemap]

What's your favorite?

Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

Martini. Extra olives.

Private

[gimmethemap]

Never had one. But I meant your favorite of the ones you mentioned.

Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

It's a fuc- cocktail. Personally, I like a mix.

And if we're talking by itself, straight out the bottle? I'd go with the Scotch.

You got food, you go with the wine.

Private

[gimmethemap]

Scotch it is, then.

Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

Just give me a time and I'll go put it on ice, sweetie.

Private

[gimmethemap]

Where do you want to meet?

Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

I was thinking 102... but if you got somewhere else in mind, then say now or forever hold your peace.
