Son of Happy Hour

Is Eddie still in a great mood? Why yes he is! He's also behind the bar in an apron.

"Good evening, ladies and gentleman. Welcome to Milliways Happy Hour. Specials tonight on tequila, nonalcoholic drinks and anything with Jagermeister in it."

"Step right up, don't be shy, there's enough booze for everybody."

Eddie beams. "I'm doin just fine, Tom. Things are lookin up. How 'bout you? And whaddya drinkin there?"

Scotch, as usual. But perhaps I'd like a change. Surprise me, why don't you?

You're in high spirits, it would seem.

He grins. "Yeah, I am. I tell you about Jake last time we spoke?"

He sizes Tom up, drinkwise. "Let's see. Scotch man isn't looking for a fancy mixed drink. Scotch is a good versatile drink, you can just cruise or you can really get bombed. You got a sedan there, we don't want you in a hotrod, just in another model. What are your feelings a cousin from across the pond? Good Tennessee bourbon, maybe?"

Sounds intriguing - I'll give it a try. Tonks used to tease me for sticking in my scotch rut, but it is such a fine drink.

Jake, from your world? Wasn't he ill?

Eddie reaches for the Maker's Mark, then reconsiders Tom's class and goes for the 1884 Booker's (this is being Milliways, it's about 15 years aged).

"Yeah, he was in a coma. We managed to wake him up by sharing our khef with him--using our minds--but he lost his memory until we killed the one who did it to him. He's back runnin on all cylinders now."

"You take ice or water or anything with it?"

Straight is fine.

Congratulations for all of you, then. Er, who did you have to kill?

"Thought so." Eddie hands over the glass.

"His name is Walter, and also Flagg, and also a hell of a lot of other things really. He might've been human once, but I find it hard to believe. He's dogged Roland on his quest all these many years, and he was ancient when Roland first met him. He brought Roland's land to ruin many years ago, killed Jake once, and pulled a lot of other dirty tricks even before he turned up at Milliways."

"He's gone now, but he's left us a fucking door to deal with."

A door? What kind?

*He sips the bourbon.*

Mm, quite good.

"The weird kind," Eddie says. "It's only there on one side. We've seen doors like it--or pretty much like it--before. They led into people's minds, but they could be drawn physically through it. But we can't open it. And I'm a little worried that something is going to open it from the other side."
young_tmriddle: (other Tom)

[personal profile] young_tmriddle 2005-02-27 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Does it need to be opened? I mean to say, if you just want it done away with, I could give Transfiguring it a go. I could also try Opening the door, if you really need it opened.

Eddie considers. "Would you mind taking a look at it? I'm not sure we want it destroyed, but none of us are wizards, and all we can do is stare at the fucker."

Living with Roland has given Eddie the ability to hear capital letters. "Open it?"
young_tmriddle: (3M lordly)

[personal profile] young_tmriddle 2005-02-27 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
I'd be happy to look at it, as long as you think you can handle what might come out.

I'm an Opener, Eddie, by way of being Door's consort. I find and open doors where there are none.

Eddie...gapes. "I coulda used you a coupla weeks ago." He pulls a leather bundle from under the bar; a holster with a belt shiny with bullets wrapped around it. "Me an' the widowmaker can kill most things that die. You up for checking it out tonight?"
young_tmriddle: (3M lordly)

[personal profile] young_tmriddle 2005-02-27 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Certainly. I have my wand to add to the firepower, so to speak. When would you like to try?

[identity profile] no-prisoner.livejournal.com 2005-02-27 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Eddie looks around. "My shift is about up." (Whee, Millitime.) "Wanna go now? I can grab my jacket in about ten seconds."
young_tmriddle: (3M lordly)

*He drinks the rest of his bourbon.*

Lead on.

"Boss." Eddie runs to his room for his jacket, then leads the way. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/no_prisoner/6202.html)
