I don't either, as long as they're not hurting anyone.

Well, actually, some people need to get hurt, but that's not the kind of stuff I do.

[flippin_peachy]

So what kind of stuff do you do then?

[theshadowed]

I'm really good at finding and getting things for people and some evidence retrieval, in and out, without being noticed. Selective about what I'll do for who, though.

[flippin_peachy]

Interesting.
And how did you get to be so good at that?

[theshadowed]

How you get good with anything, practice, and, you know, born with some extra abilities that make it a lot easier.

[flippin_peachy]

Extra abilities? Such as what?

[theshadowed]

Look who's asking questions all of a sudden. No, it's okay. I'm a mutant, so don't really hide that part of who I am.

[flippin_peachy]

You wouldn't drop hints like that if you didn't want me to ask.

Mutant hrm? Like the ones they talk about on the news?

[theshadowed]

You're right. Maybe I just like chatting with you.

Yep, I like what they're talking about on the news, which is really fun.

The fun comment was sarcasm. But you seem smart enough to know that.

[flippin_peachy]

Maybe I like chatting with you too.

You don't have to worry, unlike some people I don't believe everything the news or tabloids say.

[theshadowed]

Look at you being charming. Maybe a drink at some point in the future.

Good to know, but I should warn you I'm absolutely terrifying. (Not really)

Going to go out on a limb and guess or hope that you don't support the Registration Act.

[flippin_peachy]

A drink could be fun.

Well I guess I should have warned you that I'm absolutely charming.

I don't know much about it, I'm kind of new to the states, but it sounds like a bloody awful idea.

[theshadowed]

So not just a little charming, but absolutely charming... might need more proof to go that far.

Oh, it is; I'd think so, even if it wasn't going to 100% wreak my life.

But enough of MRA bullshit, we have drinks to figure out.

[flippin_peachy]

What kind of proof?

Do you have a particular type you fancy?

[theshadowed]

Oh, I don't know; I'm just going to have to keep an eye on you and see if there's anything else.


Beer-wise, I like hazy if we are going quality; if we are going quantity, whatever is on tap, my PBR days are long over. Hard Alcohol: I stick to vodka or rum.

PBR might be an American thing.

What about you?

[flippin_peachy]

Fair enough.

Is PBR that awful stuff that tastes like super watered down beer?

[theshadowed]

It very much is, and don't worry, you can't judge 14-year-old me any harder than I can judge 14-year-old me.

Choices were made.

[flippin_peachy]

Oh I don't know about that.
You poor Americans, at least when I was sneaking drinks at a young age they were good and proper lagers.

[theshadowed]

Oh, trust me, there is a lot to judge from back then.

We drank what we could get our hands on, and by hands-on, we couldn't raid my dad's liquor cabinet or fridge.

There were some good times, even if it was shit beer.

[flippin_peachy]

Good times with good mates?

[theshadowed]

When I was 14? 70% good times, good friends. The other 30 questionable choices that make adult me think, how the hell am I alive? But I think that's a lot of people.

These days, good times, good friends.

What about you? Mister, I've always had good taste in alcohol.

[flippin_peachy]

Well it's good to hear that percentage has gone up.

Mister? Oh you don't have to call me that, Alfred is fine.
And I'm always a fan of a good pint of lager, maybe a Guinness in the winter, and a glass of whiskey served neat.

[theshadowed]

It is.

Oh, probably charming with dad jokes?

Alright, Alfred. Anyone ever call you Alfie, or is that one of those "not if they want to live,' style nicknames? Only a few people actually call me Isadora.

I can get behind that. Guinness isn't a drink; it's lunch.

[flippin_peachy]

Only my close mates call me Alfie.
What do you prefer to be called if not Isadora?

It's both which is what makes it so good.

[theshadowed]

People have called me Izzy for so long Isadora feels weird; closer people just call me Iz.

Only my parents and some of the teachers at the school called me Isadora.

It really is; I haven't gone out drinking for a while.
