OVERFLOW.

Ha.
Want to go on a bender with me?

And you’re not going to tell me any of these topics if I ask, are you?
I never liked Groundhog Day all that much.

The character was a little too cryptic with me though.

Visual media is a whole different thing.
The mystery is what I was doing.
I mean, I need
I WANT the reader to have that moment with a reveal where they realize they could’ve cracked the entire case wide open with all the clues dropped along the way.
The subtle bread crumbs. A few red herrings because it can’t be too easy to make it boring. But nothing that makes it unsolvable.
The “twist” wasn’t a blindsided move. The pages never lied. It was right under their nose the entire time.

I don’t know about that but I certainly was writing on them in the past.
One of those Night Springs episodes was honestly nothing but cocaine but apparently everyone loved it so…

Couldn’t hurt.
Unless I’ve been looping a hangover this entire time.


[ . . . has he?

Anyway. ]

What’s your poison?

Glad to know I wasn’t doing it in vain.
I’ll have to watch more of your films to return the compliment but I can overlook a lie or two if it pays off.

You're invited to my next one. Not that I plan on doing lines anytime soon.

You can edit that out? Neat.
Just don't skip too hard that I don't remember it happening at all.
That's becoming too big of an issue.

Yeah? Classy.
I've always just ended up drinking straight out of a bottle somehow.
Actually, have you ever mixed bourbon and coffee together before? Not bad.
Maybe I could invent a cocktail.

Thanks.

I’m strung out too much for it right now.
Lol. Who taught you emojis?

Fair enough.
I don’t want the headache and I don’t miss them at all.
A short montage of aftermath. Can you do that? Just to keep my ducks in a row.

Bet you have some wild stories.
“Metaphor” and it would knock you on your ass.

[ Flashes on the TV. Following what happened to Hartmann. Hearing new music.
Echos from the other side.
Zane could’ve learned this way. Checks out. ]


Right.

You can spare yourself the headache. I’m just a stickler for having all the details right now.

Been there.
At least we can spare you the sad solo drinking now. Even if it’s not me, you can get Ahti a drink. He seems like he’d enjoy one. Nice guy.

Glad to hear it!
I have no idea what’s in it.

I'm trying.

Yeah?
I figured you guys were friends.
He calls me Tom.

Go ahead.
I'm wide open for drink collabs.

With a phone call.

[ The hindsight in the immediate answer I give to the question makes me feel weary down to my bones. I sigh all the air out of my lungs. ]

Let me try to think of something.
Give me a minute.

You'd think the facial hair would help but you've been here long enough that you've probably tried some different looks, huh?

Rum's great. I don't know why it would lose its luster.
because: (Default)

[personal profile] because 2024-02-10 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Right.
I just feel like I'm running out of time somehow.

[ What if you- No, that wouldn't work. I'd freak. ]

It looks comfortable, despite the leather.
Are leather pants comfortable?
I've obviously never tried those.

Cowards.
Okay. Dark rum. I'm picturing like an old fashioned but
Chocolate bitters?

[personal profile] because 2024-02-11 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Always?
Fuck me. Now I really want a drink.
If you say so.

No kidding?
Uh. I'll try them if they're good for running.
Are we the same size too? Guess I could just go through your closet.
All I have are sunglasses and tweed, mostly.

It's a really deep metaphor.

[personal profile] because 2024-02-11 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
There's no way I haven't said that before.
Isn't it though? I feel like it's all borrowed.
Something could happen if I don't get out in time to stop it.

I probably would. I'm more of a jeans guy.
Why is that, anyway? Is that just a coincidence?
Are you even going to tell me if you knew?
You're welcome to them. I always have a pair in my pocket.

Oh. I like that.
We should've been mixologists instead.
because: (Default)

[personal profile] because 2024-02-11 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
What the hell do you mean?
I'm going to worry.

Some coincidence.
I've loaned them before?
Seeing you is already weird but it might help me know I was there already if you had something of mine like that.
Worth trying, anyway.

So you'd rather have the art than not being trapped in an alternate dimension?
