[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 He's definitely not feeling his usual self, looking a bit more withdrawn than he would normally.]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.]

Died?

[designedtoparty]

I don't know. Maybe.

[eiremagic]

How do yeh black out shite like that, Nathan?

[designedtoparty]

I don't! I usually remember.

It's not exactly the sort of thing you forget.

[eiremagic]

Are yeh sure yeh didn' just hit yehr head?

[designedtoparty]

Well, unless concussion's pain free all of a sudden...

[eiremagic]

Dunno, yeh're the immortal.

ON A HAPPY NOTE -

[renegare.livejournal.com]

Dying isn't against regulations.

[designedtoparty]

No. If I couldn't feel pain, I wouldn't be complaining about hangovers all the while.

Trust me. You know when you wake up from dying.

WORDS HE NEVER THOUGHT HE'D HEAR HIM SAY

[designedtoparty]

Really? I thought everything was against regulations.

Oh, I know! I've just had a great idea. Why don't I go out and die again, now I know I'm allowed to?

[eiremagic]

Who'd yeh piss off?

[antimafioso.livejournal.com]

[Immortality, noted.]

The danger of the streets?

[designedtoparty]

No one.

[eiremagic]

[There is a pause because she really does not want to do this, because it is probably a really stupid idea, but:]

Do yeh need a gun?

[designedtoparty]

[He's confused at first. Then realisation hits him as he remembers their conversation.]

Ohhhhhhhh. Right. Yeah.

I was just there. Pimping my ass out. Just trying to make a living. Then this guys jumps out of his car and starts stabbing me and shit!

I ask you, what kind of world do we live in?

[designedtoparty]

[That is a spectacularly bad idea. Although Nathan doesn't seem to agree and brightens immediately.]

I definitely need a gun! I'd like to see the bastards try and get me when I can shoot them first.

THREADJACKING TIME

[loonyandproud.livejournal.com]

Something isnae?!

Tell me, I've wanted t' know for a bit, are the regulations against regulations?

[eiremagic]

Do yeh know how to use one?

[designedtoparty]

I have a criminal record. I'm sure I can work it out.

[eiremagic]

For?

[designedtoparty]

Bank heist?

[eiremagic]

No....doubt it.

[designedtoparty]

All right, all right... so, I ate some pick'n'mix. Doesn't mean I don't know how to handle a gun.

[eiremagic]

....yeah, yeah.

I'll take yeh shootin'.
