Who: Atheism and Conspiracy Theories (Charles and John)
What: Dinner
When: Friday night
Where: John's apartment
It took a bit of finagling on Charles' part to manage a takeout bill that came to an even $26.66 - part of the process involved asking the annoyed woman at the front counter in a garbled dialect of Thai if he could possibly order an eighth of an order of rice with his meal. That had not gone well, but after being yelled at by a man three places behind him in line, enduring a small child screaming in his ear, and a vicious cycle of ordering and re-ordering and wondering if his grammar was completely off and panicking at the prospect of having lost his east asian languages, Charles was set with the magic numbers on his bill. A quick taxi ride brought Charles in front of John's apartment building - Charles briefly marveling for a moment that John would even be able to live in a regular building. He paid the cab driver, collected their dinner, and headed inside, climbing the appropriate number of stairs to arrive at John's front door. He knew it was John's front door by the myriad of security measures, the most obvious being a camera positioned beside it, and the more subtle screws that indicated almost half a dozen locks in the door.
"John!" He called as he shifted the bags of food to rest under one arm while also juggling a bottle of ice tea under his chin. "Open up!"
As an afterthought, he added, "You had better be wearing pants!"
