Who: Nathan Explosion and Skwisgaar the Elder.
What: Escaping Florida.
Where: Out and about in London, MiniMordhaus.
When: Right after Nathan gets here.
Warnings: Swearing and possible violence.

Nathan was appalled to find that the person he'd replaced (which was weird enough in and of itself to think about) didn't own a single pair of shoes. He didn't really want to wear loafers, but it was either that or go barefoot.

Creeping down the stairs, he saw the woman he was allegedly married to watching a game show on the television while a toddler gnawed on the coffee table. He tried to tiptoe around to get his wallet and car keys, but unfortunately for him, the wife had excellent hearing.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Uh. I need to buy. Y'know... a present for you." He winced and hoped the explanation was sufficient to get him out of the house. Apparently it was, as the wife brooked no further protest, and Nathan was free to go to the garage.

To find a minivan.

He idly prayed that he wouldn't get any kid germs as he got in the van and gunned it away from the house. The portkey thing wasn't that far away, and even though the whole thing sounded kind of dubious, he parked the minivan and went to touch it. In moments, he was in London, spluttering and feeling a little dizzy.

Nathan wrinkled his nose. "Pickles can sing that..." He gestured with a hand. "Makeup music crap." He ignored the slight insult, and nodded at the suggestion.

"We could hire a chef, you know. Just leave out the part where our chefs are cursed. Don't think that'd make a good want-ad."

Nathan hadn't thought that the world could exist without Ofdensen, and knowing he wasn't there made him blink. "Yeah, we should get on that. But we can still practice." He knew Skwisgaar had been practicing - when didn't he? - but he would bet money that Toki had just been eating candy and playing DDR.

And with the exception of also practicing hippie-crap dance moves and baking pies with his daughter-to-be, Nathan would have been right.

Skwisgaar nodded. "Good. We start on thats right away. You can gets dis band togethers better dan an olds mans." He looked down at the beer supply, and realized that they were almost done, so he decided to help along further. He still was paranoid about being out in public. And any reason was a good enough reason to break his oath of no drinking.

"And we will rock on this world sames as de last." He said, raising a new bottle of beer to Nathan, smug as ever.

	Nathan raised his glass to Skwisgaar's, knocking it against the (weirdly) older man's. He took a big swig and leaned back. "Be good to get you guys practicing again." For him, it had only been a few days since their last official practice. Who knew how long it had been for the rest of them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Huh, tells me about its. We ain't got a goods practice since I comes here, alla us?" He shook his head and crossed his arms, "Only me and littlemees is gots any good practice in, Pickle sometimes when hes is piss off, but never Toki." He huffed and shook his head, "Is all dildos, we needs a schedules again. Someone to keeps us togethers to practice on a things." And someone who could make cities crumble with his very voice would do the job just perfectly, he figured.

Skwisgaar raised a brow, "Oh. Dis place ain't so greats to deals on sometimes. About a month or sos agos de whole timestreams is goes fucked and we goes to a whole bunch of stupid dildos times. And Pickle tells to me dat befores dat, dere was somethings into de sodas dat turns peoples de opposite sex. Pickle got turns into a girl." He smirked.

"I'll make Toki practice. Or cry. Or both. It really depends on what mood Toki's in." Nathan shrugged and polished off his fourth beer, wanting a few hundred more but unsure if he should in front of Skwisgaar. He decided to wait and see if the other man ended up ordering more.

"... you mean Pickles isn't always a girl?" Nathan smirked, starting to chuckle. "Like... a girl girl? With girl parts? Who checked?"

"God apparently dids." Skwisgaar said with a scoff. "Ohhh ja, dat's is reminds me. God's here. Satan too. Aaaand a whole bunch of others things likes dat. P'fft, alls abunch of crazy dildos gods and whatevers no Thor or nothings, is brutal."

He wouldn't be ordering another round, but he did smirk, "Deres is plenties of booze back homes, we is keeps de whole kitchens fulls of it. And I don't feel likes staying outsides de house for longs. I is still gots stupid dildos fans here." He shuddered. "Dey likes on both mes for somethings else." He set down plenty of money to pay for their drinks but they still had about half a dozen drinks a piece, if they were sharing.

	Nathan snorted at the idea of Pickles fucking a lame deity like God. He wouldn't have settled for anyone less than Hel or Kali or some hot metal goddess like that. "That sucks. Maybe we could summon him." He didn't know how, but hell. Nathan sifted through the remaining bottles, chugging them quickly. "Well, you're like twins now. You know. Twins. Are... good."

	"We replace ons a father and sons. Or daughters or something." He shook his head, "Little me is was employ by Disney untils we is fires dem for being not brutals enough." He was proud of his younger self for such a ballsy move. "Buuut we is tells on them that he is a clones of me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Clones are totally brutal, you should make a billion of you and then no bands would suck, ever." He thought about that, and wondered if the world could handle a billion Skwisgaars. Inwardly he was glad that he'd be able to tell the two Skwisgaars apart; it would've probably pissed them off if he couldn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

One had tattoos, the other was a teenager. Pretty easy junk. Skwisgaar the elder, of course, had more metal shoved into him. "Ha, is just what we says we is. I shoulds finds a clone-makings devices aforcause of dats, though. But de worlds is woulds gets too metals to handles on and never gets anythings dones because we'd always be intosides a bedrooms." He smirked.

"Two of us gots de whole fields plays on alreadies. Thinks about it, huh?"

	Nathan didn't like to think about Skwisgaar and the women he went to bed with - and there were many - so he busied himself with another beer. He drummed his disturbingly not-painted nails on the counter. "Wait - are we broke? I be the dude I replaced had money. I mean, he had a minivan." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We is has plentya moneys. Nots... likes, de billions of dollars we is once has, but we gots enough to buys Baja and buildings Mordhaus on it." He eyed Nathan's nails and tutted. Things were just wrong when Nathan's nails were bare and his weren't. "Ja, you come home now. Things need to get backs to normal." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good." Nathan nodded and drank the last of his beers, pleased with the mess that they'd left behind. The idea of being poor was completely alien to Nathan; he just didn't really understand the concept. "Do you have a car?" He was going to miss the Murdercycle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I don'ts drive vury well still." He still was shy behind the wheel. "I gots a roadies though dat can picks us up." Skwisgaar took out his cell phone and looked over at the vocalist, "So whenever you is wants to leaves, dey be heres within abouts enough time to catch a smokes."

Ugh, why'd he have to go and remind himself about that? He facepalmed, "Or... whatevers else is takes in dat amount of times."

	Nathan didn't have any cigarettes on him anyway, but he'd expected Skwisgaar to. He blinked and scratched his head. "What else would we do while we wait?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Uh. Dat's a vury good question." He looked around, before huffing a sigh, rolling his eyes and walking up to the bar - where he bought a pack of cigarettes. Lucky for him, they sold them.

He tossed the pack to Nathan, before walking out and squinting at the failing sunset that was straight in his eyes, before pulling out sunglasses and putting them on. "I hates the suns." He grumbled. He called the roadies then, and barked at them to pick them up at the pub, giving the name and approximate location in relation to the closest portkey.

	Nathan caught the cigarettes and started palming them against his hand to pack them. He didn't like the sun either, but he didn't have any sunglasses. He just squinted his eyes to tiny points, looking to see if Skwisgaar had a lighter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Luckily, the guitarist did, and he offered it to Nathan. "I guessings we gunna has to start on priorities right away. I gunna gets a wants ad out for a healings person. NO doctors, I won'ts listen at dems. And after we is gets a full staffs, we can finallies starts a real sort of workings."

The pampered prince of Metal wouldn't settle for less than historic staffing and the most brutal of all bodyguards. He figured the beefy vocalist wouldn't argue the point, since neither of them knew how to go without the luxuries of the rich.

	Nathan lit a cigarette, inhaling deeply and exhaling contentedly. "Yeah. I mean, I drink for the band. My vocals don't just happen." He stretched out his legs, hoping that one of the roadies would have some nail polish ready for him. He wondered what not having a full staff meant, and hoped that he wouldn't have to sanitize his own mics. That wouldn't fly. (Reply to this) (Parent)
