	Irina had her favorite bars around New Orleans, but the one closest to HQ is the one she went to the most. She walked in a slid onto a barstool at the bar. The bartender recognized her and put a glass and bottle of her favorite vodka on the bar in front of her. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Josh took a small sip from his glass. He glanced at Irina before saying quietly, "How's the vodka? Does it stack up to the Motherland?" It was a code phrase as a means of identification. Yes he knew who she was, but there were enough shapeshifters out there to make him paranoid. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's good," she said. "Would you care for some, Mr. Hoskins?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It was her. "Just a little. I can only appreciate alcohol's taste, but not much else." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A pity," she said before taking a drink. "So what can I do for you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My employers asked me to come down here to see if there's anything your people came across that you think we should know about," he said in reply. He did his best to appear casual. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Your employers don't have their own information network down here?" she tossed back. "I'd be surprised, but I'm Russian and not supposed to be surprised." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh we do, but I prefer to have multiple sources. Don't put your eggs in one basket, that kind of thing," he said with a smile. "Oh? Why's that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Understandable," Irina said. "It was an attempt at a joke, albeit a bad one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-07-10 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh," Josh said, suddenly feeling awkward. "Not the worst joke I've heard. Ever hear the one about what do you call a rushing person?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2013-07-10 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Nyet," she said. "I'd like to hear it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-07-10 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	"What do you call a person who's always in a hurry? ..A Rush-sian." Josh embarrassingly takes a drink to hide his shame at the bad joke. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2013-07-10 07:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay, that's bad," Irina said with a chuckle. "I will give you that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-07-10 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah..pretty sure I died a little inside after that one." He couldn't help it, he actually chuckled a bit as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There are a lot of bad ones out there," she said. "It's been quiet around here. If that helps any. We haven't been busy. Just dealing with the usual street level stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well they say no news is good news," Josh offered, idly taking another drink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh sets the cup back down. "Now you've got my paranoia senses working overtime.. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2013-07-10 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Are those like spider senses?" Irina joked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-07-10 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	He laughs. "Sort of. It's when I start thinking about every little rumor I hear in the area and start wondering which ones may actually happen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're buying yourself a ticket to the crazy house right there," Irina said. "There is such a thing as being too paranoid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-07-10 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	"It's not paranoia if it's happened enough times to justify it," Josh clarified. He sighed at his drink. "Though I'd be lying if I said I didn't sometimes consider myself too paranoid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2013-07-10 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	"There is such a thing," Irina assured him. "You sound like you need to relax a little and let go of things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-07-10 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Maybe." He raised an eyebrow. "Did you have a suggestion?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
