"Don't worry. I'm sure it'll be my fault when it does," she assured him through a mouthful of sandwich.
((See signature, hehe.))

"Right. Just eat your freakin' sandwich," laughed Risk, shaking his head at her before taking the drink and downing it as fast as he could.

She watched with satisfaction; the meal was diluting the alcohol just enough that they might eventually be on something resembling a level playing field. If she could get him to keep drinking. "So what brought you to Duane Street?" she asked, munching away at her sandwich unsuspiciously.

Risk shrugged, feeling the alcohol creep back in. "Needed a change of scene... and workin' at a factory isn't the best job to have," he explained as he watched her finish her sandwich. "I heard about a lodging house around this area, so I'm here."

"And whaddaya think? Met anyone nice?" Suddenly she was making the most chipper small talk, beckoning with two fingers for another drink, but so casually she might just be flicking crumbs off the bar.

"Most of 'em are usually on edge or somethin'... Copper and Tag aren't so bad," he smiled, recalling when he ran into the pair. "Everyone else is... alright. Takes a while to adjust around here, anyway. I'm sure you know how that feels."

"What, no enemies yet?" She shook her head, disappointed in him. "I judge people by how many enemies they manage to make in their first week." The next drink, appeared, like magic! Beth didn't even glance at it, like she had nothing to do with it showing up. She finished her sandwich and rested her head on her arms, looking dizzy--which she was--and quite harmless.

"There is that one guy... Mush? I was askin' about his girl Ershey and it looked like he wanted to pound my face in the dirt. She just looked familiar, that's all," said Risk, shrugging. "And that Wraith kid puts me on edge... she just does."
He spotted a drink next to Macbeth and gave her a look. "Where'd [t]that'd[/i] come from?"

She looked at him with huge, dark eyes of pure innocence. "I dunno. You'd better drink it, though, don't wanna be wasteful. So you met Ershey's boy? I ain't met Ershey's boy yet. She's my friend, y'know, Ershey. Old friend. She best not've gotten herself one of those jealous, possessive types, or I'll hafta have a word with him."

"He seems a bit... protective. I don't think he likes me too much," said Risk, recalling Mush's face when he asked about Ershey. "Old friend? Is she the one who told you to come here?"
He reached over for the drink, figuring he was already sober enough to start drinking again.

She nodded. "Wrote me a letter, said the people were nice. Ershey thinks everyone's nice. Ershey prob'ly thought Dusk was nice." Oh, the memories. She closed her eyes. "Just don't mess things up for her or I'll have to kill you."

Risk raised an eyebrow at her. "You? Kill me?"

"Oh, really now?" said Risk, smirking at her. "Would that involve annoying people to death?"

She scowled at him. "I've got connections."
((Uh-oh.))
