Date of Scene: 20 March 2020
Location: McAnally's Pub
Synopsis: Karrin has had a little too much to drink
Cast of Characters: Phantasm (Drago), Karrin Murphy, Amethyst




Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
It is a rather peaceful evening out. The street lights and the buildings are lit up respectively giving for a beautiful view down below. There's not much out in foot traffic as some have already started the process of going to sleep.

Which is perhaps why the hysterical phone call from Karrin was all the more concerning to Nick. She said she was at McAnally's so the musician cheated, making record time from Midtown by just taking the next dream out, popping up not at the pub but nearby enough that he could switch back to form and run over. Eh, he'll explain the land speed record later.

The knitcapped beared musician pops into the pub quickly. Look full of concern as he looks for Karrin.

Karrin Murphy has posed:
Points to Nick for getting here quick. Murph's at a table with a steak sandwich...and alcohol. Lots....and lots of alcohol. Because....she absolutely needs it. She seriously needs it after the fiasco in Harry's office. She's still ready to murder Bob as well. Or, rather, how does one murder a magic, talking skull anyway? Murph's knee deep in alcohol and three sheets to the wind.

She's sitting there crying as well, chewing on a steak sandwich and looking a total and utter mess. Apparently statue Harry is scarring.

Amethyst has posed:
Amethyst had to take a few minutes after dealing with things. Running around looking like a fantasy princess on flying-lion-back gets noticed. But now, she's back to t-shirt and jeans, and looking like a normal girl. Well, a normal supermodel girl, but hey. Since Mac's is close to Harry's, after /that/ debacle, dinner is a must. She'll come into the pub, and starts to head for Mac...and then sees crying Karrin. She frowns a little; she seemed okay at the time. She'll change her path over towards the shorter blonde.

"Hey...everything okay?" she asks, concerned.

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
It does not take long to locate the Karrin. She seems to have a favorite table in the establishment so that's the first spot the performer looks.

Blonde- Well, Blondes located, he strides over. Tugging a chair out at the table to sit down at Karrin's eye level. Nick's head tilts, assessing the tears. "What happened? I couldn't really get anything out of the phone call beyond 'emergency' and 'Macs'"

Karrin Murphy has posed:
Murph wipes her eyes looking from Amy to Nick. "I want to kill Bob" she sniffles, lookiing both incredibly upset and insanely angry as Karrin takes a chunk out of the sandwich. Looking to both Nick and Amy again, Murph sighs. "No I'm not okay. I'm not sure what to do with that skull" she says flatly. "I want to take a hammer to him and give him a taste of his own medicine"

Or something like that, anyhow.

Amethyst has posed:
Amy moves to sit as well, sliding out a chair. "I /think/ you might be misdirecting a little?" Her voice is quiet, trying to soothe the angryperson. "It sounded like both sides were to blame to some degree." Also, what kind of nit drinks a potion that you haven't tested? BUT not saying that part.

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
"Skull?" Nick repeats, bow arching. He's very much out of the loop on the situation. "Ok other than telling you not to give into a homicidal urge I'm not sure how I can help you."

He pauses, "Who's Bob?"

Karrin Murphy has posed:
Murph looks from Amy to Nick and fumes, watching Amy Murph lifts her beer. "Yeah but..." she starts, trying to piece her thoughts together.

It's hard, several drinks in. It's hard, but....

"Yeah but Bob got off scot free while Harry was..." she shudders. "Thank God buffy brought a towel" she says quiettly shaking her head. "Stone statue, butt naked. It's nightmare fuel" she shudders looking from Nick to Amy then back to Nick. "Who is Bob? Magic talking skull asshole Harry keeps around" she says taking a slug of beer.

Amethyst has posed:
Amy frowns a little. "Really? I mean...he seemed to be respectable enough...you know. As far as that was considered." She looks over to Nick. "Amy, by the way." she says, offering a hand.

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
Nick looks a bit confused until the name of the wizard is mentioned. "... Oh this is Harry related. Hmm." The performer visibly relaxes as he glances to Murph's drink, wondering if the empty glasses on the table would give an accurate count of consumption or just a partial.

"Nightmares I can deal with. But I'm not really sure what naked statues have to do with it. It was kind of a thing during the renaissance. But I'm assuming this is more a magic gone awry thing."

He looks over to Amethyst, taking the offered hand now that he confirmed that this is more of an angry!Karrin situation instead of a lifeInPeril!Karrin. "I'm Nick. Sorry for ignoring you initially. Needed to figure out what was going on. She does not speak well over the phone when upset it seems."

Karrin Murphy has posed:
Indeed, Murph's glasses are a count of how drunk she is. She'll get a cab to Harry's office....again. She grimaces and looks to Nick then Amy again...then back to Nick, as iff trying to figure out what had gone on, though she does glance to Amy

Harry's normally wanting to kill him most days. Bob's not that respectatable most of the time however" Murph sighs.

Amethyst has posed:
"It's okay. The lack of clear communications seems to be a running trend." Amy looks to the glasses, and back. "I know I don't really know you, Karrin. But that much can't be good for you." she nods to them. "Why don't we get you back home?"

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
Nick snerks at the description, shaking his head. "Sounds like a typical long-term roommate arrangement." He replies, "Wade and I sometimes get at each other's throats too. It's just how it works. Disagree, argue, stuff, back to normal."

He nods to Amy's suggestion, "I agree. We'll get you set back home and get you rehydrated with actual water or tea."

Karrin Murphy has posed:
"Somebody want to drive and roll down the window so I can throw up outside the car or cab or whatever?" she asks with a dry smile, though she blinks a few times at Nick. "Wade's not a magic talking skull is he?"

Yep. Karrin's definitely drunk. Oh great, normally she makes wisecracks when drunk, but...not currently. "Yeah but...but..." she says shaking her head. "Bob tried giving Harry a potion without telling him anything about it. Something about Angel wanting work done or something, but he was turned to stone. Oh....yeah Gorgonzola or something....Gorgonzola scales. Imagine that, scales made of cheese. How would you weigh anything?" Karrin asks. She's totally and utterly serious, too. Her train of thought's got no brakes now. Murph plus alcohol makes for an interesting, if rambling discussion.

Amethyst has posed:
"I don't think that's quite right." Amy says. She stands, and moves over to one side of Karrin, looking to Nick. "Want to get the other side?" She's not at all confident Karrin can walk without falling over.

Phantasm (Drago) has posed:
"I don't drive." Nick replies, giving a wry smirk. "Just ask Thomas."

He gets up from his seat, moving to the side indicated by Amy. "And what the roommate looks like is not important for that example."

He reaches down to support Karrin, "Ok, on three. One- Two- Threeee-"

Karrin Murphy has posed:
To be fair,Karrin can't. Goood thinking Amy. Karrin's off on a tangent on about cheeses. See. She's thinking too hard on this one...mostly due to being drunk and too talkative.

"It is" she argues and shudders. "Lead the way then" she says gently. If all else fails, just be dragged along by those two. One of them helped her out in Harry's office. The other? Candy bar consumer, as in, literal candy bars.
