Largeman was in the bar again, and he was still wearing his t-shirt. He seemed to be in an exceedingly jubilant mood, in spite of his recent bout of melancholia.

He was sitting at the bar with a Heineken and humming Aretha Franklin under his breath for reasons he couldn't remember.

Tony appears at the bar to order something (non alcoholic) to drink. He hears Andrew's humming and regards him curiously. "You like Aretha Franklin?"

Andrew looked over to the guy with a smile. "You know, I never really thought about it, but I guess I must."

Tony grins and looks at Andrew as if he's seen him somewhere before. This, however, is before he looks at Andrew's shirt. "I was about to ask if we've met, but I don't think we have." He extends a hand. "My name is Tony."

"Hi, Tony, nice to meet you," Andrew replied with a warm smile and shook. "I am, obviously, Andrew," he laughed. "Also not a turtle."

Tony staaares for a moment. "You mean the other guy that looks like you is a turtle?"

Andrew fairly chortled, because yeah, it sounded crazy. "He used to be. A big, mean one. But now he looks like me. So, for future, if you ever see someone that looks like me, but surly and with brown eyes, it's not me."

"Already met him," he says. "His name's...Mike? Member of security, right? He helped me out in a tough situation."

"Raph. Mike's his brother, who is also a turtle-turned-human," Andrew corrected. "He's good in tough situations. Handy guy to have around."

"Ah, right." "I guess the obvious thing to say is it must be weird having someone in the bar that looks like you ~~and I wonder when that will happen to my friend Jack~~."

Andrew's mun thought it was on purpose, so it's all good as far as he was concerned. Andrew was pleased to actually know more than someone else in the bar, as he's still very new to it.

"It's really weird, man, I don't mind saying. But we get along pretty well, and I'm starting to get used to it. It's kind of like having a twin, I guess." A very grumpy, irate twin who wouldn't hesitate to knock your block off.

"Yeah, but that's gotta confuse the hell out of everyone else. That's why you have the shirt." He pauses. "How long have you been here?"

"A little over a month, I think it is," Andrew replied, looking down at his shirt again with a smile. It still amused him. "You?" he asked, looking back up to Tony again.

"Going on four months now."

*Penny wanders over she sees the shirt and giggles*

Nice shirt.

Andrew grinned. "You like? He growled something last night about me needing a nametag. I figured this was a worthy substitute."

Yes, It's perfect.

*she grins*

"He's not seen it yet, sadly," Andrew maligned. "How're you, Miss Penny? Looking lovely as always, I see."

He'll like it.

I am great, how are you?

"I'm good, and you know, I have no idea why," Andrew replied with a grin. "I guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, huh?"

No you shouldn't.

Just enjoy it while you can, huh?

"Absolutely," Andrew replied emphatically. "So, what've you been up to lately, lady? Give me the dish."

Not a whole lot, saddly.

Work, that's about all.

"Work like groupie work, or something else?" Andrew asked, arching a brow. He wasn't going to admit it, but he hardly considered being a groupie "work."

Well, that's not really a job. I have a job here in the kitchen. I don't do the groupie stuff anymore. Kinda wouldn't work, since I'm engaged.

*she grins*

Andrew winced subtly, and gave Penny a sheepish smile. "That's right, you did say you were engaged to scary boyfriend I should avoid who isn't actually so scary. My bad." He rubbed at the back of his neck awkwardly. "You like that? Working in the kitchen, I mean? I've got to get a job, I think. I feel bad racking up a tab, even though it's not exactly my fault."
