[Grubby and cobwebby, Nathan is slouched on his bed, smoking a joint. He's definitely not feeling his usual self, looking a bit more withdrawn than he would normally.]

So, I think I died last night. Either that, or someone slipped me some really bad acid. [He stops and groans there, squeezing his eyes shut and dragging a hand down his face.] I don't know. I'm kind of fuzzy on the details.

On the plus side, immortal. So, I don't have to worry about that zombie shit the rest of you lot have going. Down side... actually, I don't think there is a down side to dying, in this case. I mean, it's that or I got raped by some big, beefy bloke while having the worst trip of my life. [Pauses, looking mildly disgusted as he pictures that.] Yeah... let's not go there.

[He waves a dismissive hand at the camera.]

Anyway, I have this letter... bill... thing. Just so you know, I didn't buy anything, so you can forget about me paying it. Thanks.

[He takes one last, long drag off the joint, then pushes himself forward to stub the end out and turn off the camera.]

I suppose most drug-induced hazes tend to prevent that, sure.

[designedtoparty]

I didn't even take anything!

[signatures]

Unless you took something bad enough to not remember any bit of it.

[designedtoparty]

Or if someone spiked me.

Which was pretty pointless on their part. All they had to do was ask!

[signatures]

Ask if you wanted to die?

[designedtoparty]

No. If I wanted drugs.

Then they could've killed me and I might have some idea about which murdering bastard I need to get back at.

[signatures]

What's the last thing you do remember?

[designedtoparty]

Drinking. And I think at some point I may have been looking up someone's skirt.

I'm probably not allowed back at wherever that was, now I think of it.

[signatures]

Drinking at a bar?

[designedtoparty]

Well, yeah. Where else am I going to be drinking? I'm a little too old to be sneaking it in the street.

[signatures]

Do you remember which bar, is all.

[designedtoparty]

No. I went to a lot of bars. And I was very drunk. That probably wasn't even the last place I went to.

What do you care, anyway?

[signatures]

Well, if there's a bloody murderer on the streets I think I'd like to be aware of it.

[designedtoparty]

Oh. Well, I'm sorry I can't be more help to you, then.

Maybe you could just stay away from the bars until they do catch someone?
