Brock winced when Set couldn't tell if Chance was an employee or patron.  He gave the man a look that said, I could have told you that was the wrong tactic, buddy.<br/><br/>"Jim, yeah, I could actually tell you people made your own rules.  See, since everyone is hiding 'what they are,' it says to my cop brain that you don't want to give any advantages to anyone else - that outside of this little neutral zone, you're going to be at each other's throats.  But I'll tell you what I've learned from the Cosa Nostra.  If you're setting your own laws, there aren't any, and the truth is it's all against all without honor or humanity."  He sipped his drink.<br/><br/>He shrugged towards Hazel.  "I'm cheap.  You can't buy much on a cop's salary."  Though he didn't live, strictly speaking, on a cop's salary.  But he laughed, pulled out his roll - which was larger than it had any right to be - and peeled off a single, putting it on the counter.  "Normally, when I do this, I'm putting the dollar bill into the girl's g-string at some dive on the East End.  Just saying how you can get more of my dollar bills."<br/><br/>He said to Chance, "You could fill me in.  With your words.  I'm good at listening... or I'm supposed to be good at listening.  It's not a mystery that Disney wimpifies things, after all.  I don't think I'm that thick as to think that something I saw in a fucking movie is real.  I don't think that vampires sparkle... though I guess I don't think that they don't sparkle, either."<br/><br/>He shrugged when she said she wouldn't wear any underwear that wasn't a set.  "Then I appreciate your lack of effort, Chance.  Human or not, you've got a lovely figure.  Sláinte chugat!"  He finished off his drink.<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="2093" data-username="@Sandman" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/2093/">@Sandman</a><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="3031" data-username="@One Wing" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/3031/">@One Wing</a><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="2200" data-username="@FridayWolf13" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/2200/">@FridayWolf13</a><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="634" data-username="@Villains" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/634/">@Villains</a><br/>@ everyone else!
