[oom: After this]There is a Guppy in a booth near the back door, gradually drinking himself to unconsciousness. He's currently about half way through a bottle of whiskey.
And now there is an Abs, who approaches him nervously.
"Guppy? That's not going to help mate. Come home."
Guppy doesn't even look up, just sips his drink.
"Just piss off Abs."Abs looks hurt.
"Oh come on, I said I was sorry. I tried to explain. You're not being fair about this."
There is silence for a second.
"Fair? FAIR?"
There is a lightening quick movement and Guppy is up, slamming Abs against the wall and holding him by the shoulders.
( Cut for excessive swearing, mild violence and abuse of punctuation. )Abs shoves Guppy violently, knocking him back so that he hits his shoulder against the table. Several empty glasses fall to the floor. He regrets it instantly, his temper subdued in a flash. He crouches down next to Guppy, who has curled up with his head on his knees, looking straight at the floor. With him, that's never a good sign.
"Guppy? I'm sorry mate, did I hurt you? I didn't mean... you were hysterical."He reaches over to look at Guppy's shoulder. Guppy pulls away.
"Go away. Leave me alone. Don't touch me."Abs pushes his hair up with his hands, feeling even more guilty now.
"Please let me help you."
There is a pause. Guppy looks up, the anger in his eyes replaced by heartbreaking emotional pain.
"I don't need your 'help'. Go away."
He puts his head back on his knees as Abs gets up, appalled with himself, and heads towards the door.
[ooc: Open post. Feel free to grab Abs before he gets to the door but please let him escape. Security- no need to arrest Guppy right now (unless you particularly want to) because he will turn himself in to Barry tomorrow morning. And Abs will too later on.]
