IC-Chapter 2-Friday on my Mind(Bill/Yeager)

[Mr. Handy]

"One beer coming up," said Henry. He took an empty mug and held it under a tap at a 45 degree angle, then filled it. Once it was full, he was easily able to pour off the head because of the angle and then topped it off from the tap before sliding it across the bar to Bill.

Some of the patrons of the bar had been looking at Bill initially, but after a minute they had gone back to their business. Two of the guys went over to the billiards table, and one of them began to rack the balls.

[Philulhu]

OOC,Did Bill recognise any of the patrons who had been staring at him? PS. Happy new year! Sorry for the delay in responding - been a busy holiday and I also came down with gastroenteritis,which still hasn't cleared up...

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,No, you don't recognize anyone, except the people who came in with you. Happy new year to you as well, and I hope you feel better soon. There's no need to worry about not having posted. We can proceed at whatever pace is good for you, In fact, you're well ahead of our only other active player.

[Philulhu]

Bill took a drink of his beer. "You come up against the Mob before?" He asked Yeager. "Any idea what to expect? I hear some of them can be real dangerous guys to go up against."

[Mr. Handy]

"No, never been up against the mob before," said Yeager. "There's usually an arrangement where we stay out of each other's way. But these guys are out-of-towners, which makes them fair game. And, yeah, they can be real dangerous...but so can I." His mouth widened in a fierce grin.

[Philulhu]

"So are we going well armed?" asked Bill. "You don't want to turn up with a knife to a gun fight." He looked at Yeager, realising that the Lieutenant wouldn't have heard that quoted before. "It's a line from 'The Untouchables'...''

[Mr. Handy]

"I used to watch that show all the time," said Yeager. "Shame it's not on any more. I can't remember what episode that line is from. But, yeah, shotguns all around, definitely. Of course, first we have to find out which pier the boat's landing at, and we'll have to find that out from Brian once we track him down."
