Room 429, Tuesday Morning
After the fiasco with the television yesterday, Reno had emptied out about half of his liquor stash before going to bed.
Waking up with a hangover and then taking a shower in rum had been unexpected, but he was willing to look at it as a new beginning.
A good start to the day.
Better than being to his knees in fictional sewer water had been.
That was why all of Reno's empties were now filled with showerhead rum. And once he was done having himself another shower in the hair of the dog, he was going to spend a good chunk of the day in his room, loving the heck out of the weirdness of Fandom.
[[Tuesday woo! Shamelessly linkdroppy for one whole link and establishy unless someone wants to pop in to harrass Reno and his rum-water. Me? I'm headed to bed. Mmm, bed.]]

It was not an urge to snicker that lead him to knock on Reno's door after Auto mechanics, carrying two mugs of what would be coffee if it hadn't been made with 100 percent run. Really. he was just ... concerned.

Reno's 'yo' was slightly more... emphatic than usual. And it was accompanied by several honks, an agitated chitter, and a loud thump before a rather ruffled Reno opened the door, clutching the ferret he'd tripped over and reeking of ale thanks to the showers he'd had earlier.
"Romeo! How you doin'?" It was a good day to be Reno today.

Romeo grinned as he waved a mug of coffee-flavored rum in Reno and the ferret's direction. "I showered in beer this morning," he announced. "I've had worse starts to my days. How are you?"

Mako honked his approval. He wasn't drunk, but people sure seemed happy about it!

Reno stared at the coffee. And then he reached for the coffee. And he was thrilled with the coffee. It was just the sort of day that required he be thrilled, after all.
"Boooooze coffee. Man, you're the best ever and then some. Totally just skipped over the havin' to add Bailey's or whatever, yo!"
Reno? Clearly pleased.

"Coffee and alcohol at once. It's good even if it tastes bad," he decided. "I only have a minute, though. I just wanted to stop by and see how you were before work." He paused the pause of someone who knew he might be bringing up something inappropriate, then ventured, "Radio said something about you and Ron?"

"Next time he pulls out that twig of his tryin' to put a hex on me, I'm gonna bust in his face first and rip out his tongue and we'll see how many words he gets out then, won't we?"
Subtle Reno is subtle.
no subject
Romeo was not going to ask more questions.
"Here," he said instead. "Have more coffee-rum." That seemed a much less twitchy topic, and his voice got quieter as he said, "And if you needed me to I'd help." He had nothing against Ron, but anybody Reno wanted to beat up, Romeo would help with. He was thoughtful like that.
no subject
"Appreciated, yo." And there was when Reno took a long swig, raising an eyebrow at the flavor. He paused. He considered. And then he shrugged and chugged back the rest. "You ever look at the TV and go, 'damn, if I was in there I'd do it all different?'"
no subject
"Is it different on the other side of the screen?"

Well, he wasn't. Scrawny runt. But at least he could run like hell.
no subject
He was also a rather scrawny specimen.
no subject
Size made all the difference, really.

"Remind me to tell you more about my job sometime, Romeo, man," Reno decided, turning to put the ferret away. Reno wasn't sure if letting Mako chew on his booze-soaked finger was a very good idea, after all.

"They made you fight monsters without a weapon," Romeo said. The statement carried some of the inflection of a question, but wasn't really one. "Later is probably a better time for me to ask that, but I would listen if you wanted to talk."
no subject
"Sometimes weapons aren't even enough," Reno replied with a shrug. "Anytime that's good for you is good for me, man. Maybe... A more sober time, though, yeah. Can tell you all about clones an' haywire robots and ... uhhh. More clones. And stuff."
Really, there had been more than clones and robots. Also, Reno had showered in rum. Coincidence?

And now was a great time for a drunken thumbs-up. Best buddy ever, right there. Him and Rude. The both of them. Best ever. Yep!
