Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 4:16:04 AM)
*Moses is sitting alone at the bar, more than just a little tipsy*

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 4:18:40 AM)
Darren was really just stopping through; he'd phoned in a take-out order after realizing he'd barely eaten since his fight the night before. While he was leaning against the wall and waiting for his food, he managed to catch a glimpse of a semi-familiar face off at the bar. Blinking slowly, he started that way... coming to a stop at a nearby stool, he regarded the other Elohim. "A strange coincidence," he murmured. "I am waiting for food."

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 4:20:06 AM)
*Moses looks over* D-darren... it's good to see you brother *pats the man on the shoulder* Glad to see you're doing ok... have a bear... a beer... on me.

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 4:21:52 AM)
His brow furrowed slightly. Without his chest clawed open, the Fiend would seem a bit more... well, on top of things. "Thank you, Moses. I see that you have already had several." A hint of a smile. Taking that as invitation to sit, he did. "I hope that this inebriation is celebratory?"

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 4:23:08 AM)
*Moses takes a deep breath and looks to Darren* Depends on how you look at it... *taking another swig he waves his hand to the bartender to bring Darrent a drink* What do you know about women Darren?

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 4:24:49 AM)
He ordered whatever was on tap and domestic, and would sip from the chilled glass when it arrived. "If this is a romantic or sexual conversation, very little. Really... very little in general." A bit of a shrug. "But perhaps I can be of assistance anyway?"

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 4:27:42 AM)
*Moses waves Darren off* I'll tell you somefin about em... you can please em *makes a manly motion with his hand* and you can please em *winks then furrows his brows* But you can't please em... not all of em and certainly not all at one *pats darren on the shoulder* You know what I mean?

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 4:28:49 AM)
"Perhaps... on some level I do." His brow was furrowed, and he took a large gulp of his beer. "So you... are involved with multiple women?"

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 4:31:08 AM)
*nearly spits his beer* No... no... hell no *raises an eyebrow* Where'd you get an idear about that *furrows his brows* I'm just talking that they tell you what they want... and you give it to em... but then ech... nevermind *chuckles* I'm confusing myself...

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 4:33:12 AM)
*glances at the man* So tell me aboutcher self Daren.

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 4:33:41 AM)
"Oh." Darren looked fairly confused now. "I doubt it is a problem I will ever encounter." He sipped slowly, thoughtfully. "I... there is not very much to tell. I try to keep myself uninvolved."

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 4:35:25 AM)
*Ponders a bit* I see... that's alright at first... *squinches an eye* but if you stay uninvolved for too long... then yer on the outs... and you got no one... *pats the man on the back* that's why you gotta have friends. Know what I mean Darren?

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 4:38:49 AM)
"I am not averse to helping out," he explained after a bit of thought. He shifted a bit, to better face Moses, leaning with one arm slung across the counter and the other nursing the beer. His eyebrow arched a bit at the pat on the back, but he didn't react otherwise. "I just wish to avoid becoming entangled, I suppose." He let out a breath, then smirked slightly. "Selma also mentioned that I should seek out friends, less overtly."

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 4:41:56 AM)
*furrows his brows* That's a good thing ta do... for instance... when I first came back I was on the boat *takes another drink* Drink up darren, I don't wanna be the only one drunk here when were' talking life or death. *pauses* anyway I looked em all over in court... watched who was interactin with who finding the good ones... the cliques... the rogues... the ones who went againt authrity *begins rambling with other observations*

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 4:42:26 AM)
*shrugs* Anyway I found Selma... and we're thicker than molassas on a Louisiana car top.

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 4:43:55 AM)
He blinked, then nodded and drank more deeply- apparently, he needed to learn these 'rules'. Listening, he nodded every so often and then blinked. "Wouldn't molasses be less consistent on a hot metal roof?"

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 4:46:27 AM)
*chuckles and slaps the table then points at Darren* You make a damn fine point... we're hotter than molassas on a hot metal roof *shrugs forgetting the point for a moment* Anyway *finally making a coherent statement* what I mean to say is that you gotta watche em all.. as you said avoid entanglements till you know who it's good to tangle *makes a manly gesture* or tango with... and don't dip your stick in more than one honey pot... women can be dangerous.... so pick your mates well. *nods firmly then tips his drink, motioning for derrek to do the same*

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 4:49:39 AM)
Darren stared at Moses for several seconds in the wake of his rambling speech and then laughed. It was an odd sound- like he was out of practice or something, emulating a memory rather than doing it instinctively. He finished his beer and shook his head. "Watching is what I do. You have essentially described my plan. Interesting." He looked thoughtful briefly. "I doubt that I will have woman-trouble, as they say, but... well, no, I just doubt it."

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 4:52:33 AM)
*pauses momentarily then nods* You ever wonder what you look like to others... I don't mean you personally... but what others see when they see you*Moses waits for a response and then perfectly imitates Darren's gestures simultaneously as the man does his own, every mannerism, body language, even vocal pattern is the same as Darren's* Chuck Norris taught me to do that.

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 4:53:23 AM)
(did lore of transfiguration 1)

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 4:56:14 AM)
His eyebrow arched faintly, and he smirked as Moses copied even that. "I am well aware that my social deficiencies can be off-putting," he intoned. "I have accepted this. Alcohol seems to help slightly, I am learning, but... it doesn't matter, ultimately." He shifted, lifting a hand to get the bartender's attention before he looked back at Moses. "You can cease doing that at any time."

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 4:59:43 AM)
*chuckles and stops* OK Chuck Norris didn't teach me that one *sighs* but did you know his tears can cure cancer *orders 2 more drinks while he allows darren to wait for the punchline he indicates they should start on a new beer* yeah they can cure cancer... too bad he never cries *slaps his leg then looks up at Darren looking serious* I didn't mean to identify any deficiencies brother... you seem alright to me *ponders* actually you seem like a pretty smart guy... I got a math question for you... I want you to think of a number between 1 and 10 *nods* don't tell me what it is.

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 5:01:34 AM)
The humor was lost utterly on him, and he blinked, but let it go. When his beer arrived, he took a swallow, then considered briefly. "Very well. I am thinking of a number."

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 5:03:46 AM)
Now multiply that number by 9 *nods as if thinking of the rest of it* It should be *raises 2 fingers* 2 digits... take those 2 digits and add them together *waits to let the man calculate* ok so you got 1 number now... subtract 5... alright... pretend each number represents a letter of the alphabet... 1 is A 2 is B 3 is C etc... replace your number with the letter of the alphabet... Now think of a country that starts with that letter... i'll give you some clues... england finland, denmark, belgium *waits for the man to take it in before he continues*

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 5:05:07 AM)
He followed along fairly aptly, looking more and more curious. "This... is not a math problem," he observed. "But I am now thinking of a country all the same."

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 5:05:15 AM)
*takes another swig* ok so you got a country... the second letter in that country's name... think of an animal that starts with that letter... *pauses* tell me when you're ready and imma read yer mind.

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 5:06:06 AM)
His brow furrowed, and his features slackened. "I would prefer that you not read my mind. I was thinking of 'elephant'."

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 5:06:10 AM)
Is it an Elephant from Denmark? *a wide grin on his face*

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 5:06:27 AM)
(imagine i guessed it before you said it)

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 5:07:51 AM)
He blinked. And then considered for several seconds. "I take it there are not many countries that start with the letter D," he finally said, before smiling slowly. "That is a clever trick."

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 5:07:57 AM)
*chuckles once more* i weren't readin your mind and I'm not much of a math whizz but anything you multiply by 9 the digits always add up to 9... try this some time when you're in a social setting you know.. livin it up *indicates they should both take a drink*

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 5:08:29 AM)
9-5 is 4 4 is d d is denmark e is usually elephant *grins*

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 5:10:08 AM)
He nodded firmly. "Yes, I sorted that out. As I said, clever." His finger tapped on the glass for a few seconds before he swallowed another mouthful. "I didn't realize that false telepathy was something to enact during a social setting."

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 5:11:31 AM)
*nods* women get a kick out of it *leans in close* Want me to teach you how to pick one up? I bet I can get you leavin here with a woman in 15 minutes

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 5:12:13 AM)
"That... seems unnecessary." He frowned slightly. "And also very unlikely."

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 5:16:06 AM)
*Moses glances around and finds a woman who is attractive but not overly so then looks back at darren* Go up to em... any one of em... smile as you approach then ask em if they'll do you a favor right *takes a swig* they'll usually say sure what is it... you grin and say I can't tell you unless you promise to do it... they'll usually disagree *raises his hands* don't worry it's ok... it's part of it *swigs a drink* anywho... when they say they can't make a promise without knowing what it is simply say you'll just have to trust me... I swear to you it's nothing bad.... *glances at Darren* They'll say one of two things... if they say no... walk away... eventually their curiosity will take over then they'll approach you to know what it was... if they say yes... so in both cases say the favor is simple... I just want you to smile for me *moses grins and snaps his fingers* it's as easy as that *imitates fishing* hook... line *takes a swig* sinker

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 5:18:02 AM)
He listened intently, actually leaning forward studiously. He seemed to be taking Moses at his word, nodding here and there. "And then what do I do?" he asked after silence hung in the air.

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 5:21:07 AM)
*ponders for a moment* Well you've reeled her in... now it's time to gut her so to speak *pauses* You gotta open her up *glances at darren* not physically... ask her questions about herself... don't tell her much about yourself... women like to hear themselves speak... and when you can't think of a question to ask, compliment her earrings or something... *nods and takes a swig indicating darren should do the same* eventually the woman will do one of two things, she'll smile and touch her earlobe or her hand will go to her chest... if she does either of those it's time to eat the fish

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 5:22:55 AM)
*nods* And by eat the fish, you need to invite her back to your place... tell her you got direct tv and that *inserts name of romance movie* is playing in an hour if she'd like to come by.

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 5:23:57 AM)
"Is it... customary to compare women to fish?" He looked a little puzzled as Moses clung to the metaphor. "At any rate, you make this sound very simple, when clearly it is not. If women were as predictable and uncomplicated as this lesson makes them seem... well, by your own words, you would likely not be here, drinking so copiously." Rather than coming as a challenge to Moses, it was more a point of confusion for Darren. His logical mind didn't do well with conflicting ideas at once.

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 5:27:44 AM)
*nods to Darren* I compare it to the fish metaphor because it's easy to understand... it's got steps and such *shrugs* and I like to fish. As to myself Darren... my problem is that I please them too much... make them too happy... I know it sounds complicated and strange... but I don't expect you to understand yet *glances at Darren* But you seem like a reasonable man... one who is willing to test theories... are you not?

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 5:31:43 AM)
His gaze got a bit blank as he levelled it at Moses. "I am not as susceptible to manipulation as every mortal woman on earth apparently is," he put dryly, practically an (unintentional) perfect deadpan. He scooped up his beer and finished it off though, before standing. "I will participate in your exercise, but I will not be bringing a woman home. If I wished to defile a woman, there are much more attractive ones that I could easily attain." Was that... a hint of indignation? He set the glass down. "I estimate I will be back in fifteen seconds. Please order me another beer." With that, he set off.

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 5:33:52 AM)
*Moses's eyes widen in surprise at Darren's statement, then grins as he thinks... now that's one scientist who's got balls* You got it darren *moses turns to order more drinks glancing at Darren from time to time*

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 5:40:34 AM)
Moses would be able to see as Darren went out into the bar. He paused at a table with three women, and all of them fell silent as he approached. A smile that was probably surprisingly convincing lit his lips, even if it was just emulation of similar smiles that he'd seen. Moses wouldn't be able to hear, but Darren did indeed speak to them- or rather, to one in particular. Not the prettiest of the three, but not the ugliest either. They exchanged some words at least, her friends laughing. Darren even stepped back from the table, lifting his hands in a gesture that was universal for 'I'm unthreatening, you can trust me.' After one final few syllables, he smiled succinctly and returned to the bar. The convincingly phoney smile melted away immediately, and he looked almost uncomfortable. "She is going to be very disappointed when I don't take her home," he murmured, shaking his head. He lifted his beer. "She said no, but she already touched her ear."

Darren Coleman (Nov 3, 2011 5:42:38 AM)
Sure enough, the girls kept stealing glances over now. The other two seemed to be engaging in either encouragement, teasing, or both.

Moses Lee Gale (Nov 3, 2011 5:43:37 AM)
*moses begins with a little nod, that grows wider and he stands doing a little dance* Go Darren God Darren... It's you're birthday *does a perfect imitation of Yoda* The force is strong with this one *he pats Darren's back* Good Job... *takes another beer and handing it to Darren* Listen I'mma get outta here and leave those girls to you *hands him his card* I'll meet you for fishing this weekend... real fishing i mean. *nods and exits... leaving the Darren to the women*
