Indy looks over and nods. "Hey Cole. Yeah... it's been a while. What's new?"

"Not much, really. There's a few of us trying to find a way for me to get rid of my demon half, but it's hit a few snags so there's no telling when it'll actually happen. How about you?"

"Quiet for the most part. Missed all the action with the invading monsters. Just been hanging out in my room... uh... suite."

He scratches his head. "I was letting Mike, the giant ninja turtle, crash on my floor a few weeks ago, and Bernard arranged for us to have a two bedroom suite. It came with a load of modern technology... TV, DVD player, stereo... the works. So I've been genning up on future culture. Future for me at any rate."

Cole nods. "I missed all the monster action as well. Can't say I'm unhappy about it though. I think I had my share of monsters while I was living."

"Sounds like you've got a nice set-up. What's it like being roommates with a giant turtle?"

"Not as weird as it sounds actually. He's a riot most of the time, at least before he started this cross-dressing lark." Indy shudders a little at the horrible recurring images.

"And he's a helluva cook when he can be bothered."

"You know, I've always wondered what turtles eat. I guess with him it's not all kelp, is it?"

"Pizza mostly," he laughs. "He's from New York."

He cocks his head thoughtfully and leans in a bit closer. "So what exactly have you been attempting in order to exorcize the demon in you?"

Cole~~'s mun~~ reminisces about the last slice of true New York style pizza he had. "You know, I've got to wonder why no one in San Francisco has thought to do New York pizza. If that's what Mike is making for you, I envy your position."

He shrugs. "The only methods I know, namely using the magic from my own world. Though, since that's hard to come by here, I've enlisted the help of a gal named Esk. Then I've been attempting to write a spell, but spells are definitely not my strong suit. Usually I just will something to happen and it does."

"Hmmm... that's a bugger."

He thinks. "I may know someone who can help you. A while back I saw Moiraine, the Aes Sadai, banish evil from a wretched creature called Gollum."

"She'll take a bit of convincing though, because I think the last time she saw you, you were acting all crazy and evil at that duel out by the Lake."

"I'd be happy to talk to her for you though. It might be best if I broach the subject first."

Cole tries to remember. "Moiraine. Would she be the one who put up the wind barrier? She struck me as being a little resigned to get in matters at all unless absolutely necessary. Though if you'd be willing to talk to her, I could always use the extra help. And having someone who has done this sort of thing before would be quite helpful."

"I'll see what I can do. She saved my life once as well... we get along ok."

He grins wryly and takes a big gulp of stout, using his sleeve to wipe off the creamy mustache it leaves when he's done.

"Are you doing anything this Sunday night?"

"Thank you. I'm not in any rush, but I'd like to be through with the whole process as soon as I can be."

He likewise matches the drink, though he grabs a napkin instead of using his sleeve. "I don't have anything specific planned. Kinda hard to make plans when you can't really go anywhere."

Indy nods. "Well, we're having a cocktail do in our suite if you wanna drop by. Nothing too fancy, but I think you'll fit right in."

Cole nods. "Sounds like fun. It's been a while since I've been to a good cocktail party. Any specific dress code?"

He smirks. "Mike is insisting on casual for the guys, and extra slinky for the women. Me and him are gonna get dressed up, but we don't expect anyone else to."

"A simple donation of something alcoholic is all we require. But I should warn you... neither of us has ever hosted a party before... and Dionysus said he would be dropping by... so come prepared for anything. Well... anything other than the actual soiree theme we are trying for," he says with a smirk.

"Insisting on casual, huh?"

"I think I can manage to get some alcohol for the party. And I've hosted a few gathering for business parties and the like. If you'd like some help, I could certainly make myself avaiable."

He looks very relieved. "That would be wonderful. Mike is on this trip to serve the type of food you'd get at a kid's birthday party. Everything on a cocktail stick..."

"I think I've nipped that one in the bud. But we sooo need help."

"Well, some hors d'oevres would be a nice touch, but definitely not the whole thing. Is the party in celebration of St. Patricks, or just for fun?"

"Not really. We just wanted to try something that neither of us had ever done before. And now we finally have the space to do it with our new suite."

Cole nods. "It's certainly nice to be able to use that kind of space when you have it."

"Yeah... it should be fun."

Indy suddenly seems a little distracted as he notices a certain lady (http://www.livejournal.com/community/milliways_bar/3670801.html) enter the bar.

"Um... I think I'm going to have that chat with the Aes Sadai that we talked about. Nice talking to you and I guess we'll see you on Sunday."

He drains his pint, and with a nod back to Cole, he strolls over to Moiraine's table.

[OOC: Evening Milltime but all day Sunday in real time. Details are here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/ways_back_room/830777.html).]
