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.]]

Romeo had, for once, listened to radio that morning, and was wondering how exactly you got trapped inside the TV.

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.

Well, at least the TV hadn't turned him blue or anything. (Romeo had no idea how these things worked.)

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?"

"Some days it is," Romeo had to agree, sipping at his own mug. It tasted fairly awful, especially as Romeo wasn't great at making coffee to start with, but he was sure he wouldn't notice after a few sips. "That one's yours, by the by. It would be coffee if we had water."

It ... wasn't as bad as it could have been, actually, and Romeo only grimaced for a moment as he took the first sip.

"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?"

All right, then.

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.
withoutverona: (Talking)

"In gunfight scenes," Romeo said easily. "Actors have no business with firearms, and you can tell. And sometimes when I'm watching a reality show, but those exist to mock the people on them."

"Is it different on the other side of the screen?"

Romeo shuddered. "Someone told me they once had an invasion of dinosaurs here," he answered. "I'd rather not fight such beasts, or flee them. Better they stay inside the screen as I stay outside."
withoutverona: (Not quite certain)

"And even if you were all muscle, they'd still be larger and have sharper teeth," Romeo pointed out. "Did you run?"

He was also a rather scrawny specimen.
withoutverona: (Making a point)

Romeo looked like he thought Reno was nuts. "But they still have teeth and claws and a taste for blood," he said.
withoutverona: (B+W serious)

A drunk ferret might be funny.

"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."
withoutverona: (Eek!)

"A more sober time and a time when I don't have a shop to open before a drunken pixie decides to fire me, or throw things at me, whichever amuses her more," Romeo said, rolling his eyes. "I'll see you later."
