The drunk hung in the doorway, swaying, reeking of alcohol, trying to
pretend he was asking for his friend, not himself.

The poor bastard had a long barcrawl behind him. He'd spewed his message in
well over 15 clubs, all frequented by drinkers or chatters. The Chatsubo was
just another stop on his way to oblivion.

Nobody seemed to even notice the drunk. The patrons had gotten used to
spammers and sad gits sobbing in corners. Still, the pathetic wino was
yelling, and somebody should make an effort to politely show him the door.

- Listen, pal, said a nondescript man in a nondescript suit, the kind of guy
who change his face between jobs and hangs out at dives in an effort to
assume a flash of normalcy before the next johnson taps his sholder with the
promise of wetwork, extractions, cover-ups or some other kind of black op.

- Maybe you should try to ease off on the booze a little, tried the man
gently.

>AND DON'T SAY GIVE UP DRINKING!!!

- Okay, then, try slamming your face against a brick wall untill it needs
serious reconstruction. That should keep the chicks off for a while, and you
can drink all you want, said the mild-mannered man.

The drunk seemed puzzled, but did not leave.

- I'd be happy to help you, of course, continued the man. He seized the
drunk by the shoulders and dragged him out into the alley, the drunk
protesting wildly. The Chatsubo patrons could hear screams, growing faint
after a few minutes, and a bludgeoning sound, growing wet after a while.

The man came back in, a patch of blood on his left trouser leg.

- Thirsty work, samatiramism. A shot of Jameson, please, Ratz.

- This one is on the house, mein freund, said Ratz, pouring the helpful
fellow a healthy helping of fine irish whiskey.
