[The PCD clacks and the view shakes a bit, but finally centers on Horst's happy face. He's up on a roof, with four bottles of liquor and a chair.]

Right, you bunch of nutters, I'm going to sit up here and watch you all run about.

Tyki, you want a drink? I'm up here in the sane corner of the world.

Man, where the hell did you get that alcohol?

[Ellis is unaffected. Just jealous.]

I run a bar! Care for a nightcap?

I'm Horst, I don't think we've met.

Shit, I'll take an entire night helmet.

Folks call me Ellis. Sure you don't mind sharin' a bit?

Not at all! The more the merrier, as they say. Besides, they say it's a bad sign to drink alone.

[And Ellis will arrive, though not promptly. He climbs up onto the roof at the coordinates and, while he is grinning in greeting, he has a bloody nose and a swelling black eye.]

Hey, brother. Horst, was it?

Horst, yeah. [He grins and claps Ellis on the shoulder. He hands him a beer and nods at the wounds]

Did you meet the wrong end of a door?

[Ellis grimaces slightly at the clap on the shoulder, but the grin resurfaces quickly enough. Strangely enough, it seems entirely genuine.]

Guess you could say that. Real fuckin' asshole of a door, though.

[Opening the beer, he takes a long drink and relaxes slightly.]

Been a hell of a long time since I've had a good one'a these.

They always are!

[Horst sits back down on his makeshift lawn chair, motions for Ellis to do the same.]

Did you give up drink before you came here?

[Offline]

[jimmygibbsfan.livejournal.com]

Nah.

[Obligingly, Ellis lowers himself into a seat, making a subtly surprised noise at the sight of the city.]

Zombie invasion. Hard to fight shit off if you ain't all there, you know? [He motions first to the alcohol, then to his temple. His tone is lightly, upbeat, like he's talking about unusual weather in June. And the, without pause:] City's might near pretty at night, huh?

[He laughs, nods.]

I like it here. I don't see it during the day, but I imagine it's not bad either.

Zombies, huh? What happened?
