[Sodium_noir] Hell is Other People

[Liz Oleksyn]

Dr. Lazarus, Aurora, Mitsuko, 'Sandra', Jack
"Scientist", "Spirit Muse", "Avatar", "Pretty
Kitty", "X-Factor"
Lady Sinclaire's party

> He smirked, the alcohol starting to dull his senses
> and loosen his tongue.  "I owe you, Aurora.  Really.
> Any favor you want, you just ask."

>She smiled at Jack, but didn't say anything
immediately.  "Thank you."

>She looked around then, "I just wish I knew where
Christine was... the
city... it's hurting."

>Christine hesitates. She can't quite see herself -
not even this  
loaded - approaching Mara while she's doing the
socialite thing.  
Can't quite brazen that one out . . . yet. But a
couple more drinks  
and who knows? She glances about, starting to panic a
little now,  
until her frantic cast happens upon a fellow redhead.
Aurora! Oh  
thank Christ! And Jack! They both look about as
comfortable amid  
their surroundings as Christine feels. With a sigh of
relief,  
Christine heads over.

Jack is about to reply, waving his glass of vodka
(hadn’t this been whiskey previously?) to further
emphasize his point (did he even have one?), when he
saw the elusive and mysterious Christine approaching. 
His smile widened to a grin as he winked at her.

“Hey!  Knew you couldn’t leave me behind!  You ready
to rip this town a new one?”  

He wanted to drink Gotham dry.

(tag all)
