Another challenge piece, 250 words of dialogue. And this one takes place mere hours before the beginning of Sleeping Beauty.
RSVP
“Yo, Joz’f.”
“Hey, Mick.”
“Yeah, I’m not going to make it to poker night tonight.”
“What, is my little lamb tired of getting shorn?”
“I don’t believe I was the one down eight pints of AB neg last week at the end of the game, buddy.”
“Hey, there are occasional anomalies, but if you’d care to see the cumulative stats from the past twenty years…”
“You know, Joz’f, every once in a while, you make me wonder if some of the folklore is based on…you.”
“What do you mean?”
“The one about vampires being notoriously prone to OCD.”
“Bite me, angst-boy. So, what lame excuse do you have for skipping tonight? Hot date with Bethie-poo?”
“How many times do I have to tell you, Beth and I are not— look, unlike some people, my work day isn’t over when the markets close. I’ve got a case that’s heating up.”
“Working? Seriously, you’re working on poker night?”
“Yup.”
“You’ll regret it. I have a nice little A pos waiting for you. Sweet curves, beautiful neck. She’s going to be disappointed if you don’t show.”
“She was bound to be disappointed, anyway. You know I don’t feed fresh these days.”
“Sooner or later, boyo. Sooner or later…”
“Yeah, yeah, you keep saying that.”
“You think I don’t know what I’m talking about?”
“In my case, yeah. Look, I’ve got to get on the road. I’ll see you next week, buddy.”
“If you get through early…”
“I’ll be there.”
“Later, Mick.”
“Later, Joz’f.”
