[rideme]

no pun intended -- ever

[animated]

yeah, jet-lag is pretty much the worst

[ that seems to be the end of the conversation until a while later there's a knock on Bull's door ]

[rideme]

[There's a drowsy-sounding "COME IN" from the other side. Opening the door will reveal the poor bed straining to hold up the Iron Bull, who is sprawled and half-dozing on his chest, chin propped up on his arms.]

How's it going?

[But hey, Charlie gets a wave.]

[animated]

Jesus, dude. You look like you need a nap.

I... should I come back later?

[rideme]

Hey, what do you think I've been doing this whole time?

[He makes a sort of 'come in' gesture, and pats the empty bed space.]

C'mon. What'd you want to talk about?

[animated]

I didn't wake you up, did I?

[ Still, he wanders over to sit. The bed gives a worrying groan as he does, and he dimly wonders how much longer the poor bedframe is going to last. ]

I was actually wondering if you picked up anything about my friend or her club.

[rideme]

Nah. If you did, I'd be crabby.

[One day he's going to need to figure out how to reinforce this thing. Today is not that day. He grunts, rubbing at the stubble on his face.]

Picked up a whole lot of clubs named after other shit -- dolphins, rabbits, this one with a 'unicorn' theme. But, no. The only thing close to that name ended up being some kind of weird flashy-lights bar.

No one I talked to heard anything either. Asked around as much as I could. Bribed a few people... nothing.

[animated]

[ Charlie is utterly taken aback for a moment. ]

You seriously did all that?
