Jim has had a very busy week, and
Donald Trump. Really? Dear God, he almost wishes he were still alive. He would have made so much money out of both these campaigns. It would have been obscene, but a whole lot of fun.
Oh well. He orders some food and settles in for the evening. Politics is far more entertaining than team sports, even the watered-down version of it that gets sent out to the general public.
[OOC: *OOM still in progress, but face injury is probably about two days old at this point. Open until his next EP.]

"Can't stay out of trouble for ten minutes, can you?"
no subject
He grins - carefully - and unscrews the top immediately, not taking his eyes from the TV.
'Hi, Tess.'
no subject
She deadpans, settling onto the stool beside him.
"What are you watching?
no subject
He pours two glasses and slides one over to her, then drags his eyes from screen.
'US Presidential Election in some worlds. 2016. And this guy-'
He waves a hand and appears to be holding back a laugh.
'-seriously, you don't understand.'
no subject
"Thank god it's not in mine."
She recognizes Donald Trump and yeah, no.
no subject
Goddamnit.
Lucky he doesn't give a damn about cash, really. But it would've been fun too. Mostly he's just amused as to what the hell brought the world to a place where it's even possible.
no subject
Tess might even feel a little sorry for those suckers in some world that are inevitably going to elect him.
no subject
Alive or dead, he wouldn't care about the result.
no subject
She wouldn't care about the result, either, she answers to no government. That she happens to like the President in her world is a mere happenstance.
no subject
The Donald starts talking on some stage. Jim listens for thirty seconds, then scoffs and mutes the TV.
'I just-'
Yeah. No. People. Why? Why believe any of them are telling any kind of truth, and not just saying what they think will get them votes? Why does no one ask what goes on behind the scenes with these candidates? It's like a two-year long circus, with nothing but a four-year long stage show at the end of it.
Funny, but sad. People are weird.
no subject
"This is why I stay as far away from politics as I can. It's not like the President has that much power anyway."
no subject
More whiskey. He feels like he's spending a lot of time drinking, these days.
'You can make people give it to you, of course, but that transfer has to happen.'
no subject
She snorts softly, because what a stupid idea.
"But there are also different types of power Political power, putting on a show for the people, that's not real."

With one glance to the TV, he seems to dismiss the entire sorry afair.
no subject
Jim does not look away from the TV, because, hilarious.
'No, of course not.'

If you're going to have battle scars, at least make them good. Or what's the point?

To be fair to Wilford, Jim's mood was not his fault. But when two obnoxious assholes get together, violence is practically inevitable.
no subject

'It is. I have no problem with the world itself; it was the company that wasn't ideal.'
no subject
no subject
Even if he didn't have a pink moustache, Jim would think Wilford looks worse than him .
'But if you're suggesting I hit him back, why on earth would I do that?'
no subject
no subject
He mutes the TV, and sips his pint.
'Or that I care about taking a few punches?'
