The Devil's Nest, Monday, March 4, 2024

[texted3times]

Eric came into the Devil's Nest to discover that Tiny was back on his bullshit, this time with an Eiffel Tower made of sausage and toothpicks.

"I will not protect you when Octavia yells about food waste," he informed him.

Tiny shrugged and went to work on a sausage Taj Mahal.

Eric was drinking something strong tonight. The Devil's Nest was open.

"Oooh! Do the Tokyo Tower next!"

Look, if there were going to be landmarks made out of food in the bar tonight, Yukari at least wanted her city represented, too!

"The last time it was a Venus de Milo," Eric said, shaking his head. "It got completely out of hand."

"I'd have thought it would have gotten a bit more than just out of hand," Yukari pointed out.

Okay, so she didn't know her classical Greek works that well, but she was pretty sure she remembered the one without the arms!

Eric loved puns and was a little ashamed of himself for walking right into that one. He grinned. "Nicely put."

"Thank you!" said Yukaro, preening proudly for a moment before flashing Eric what she thought was her most winning grin."you know, English isn't even my first language! I think wordplay like that should be worth at least one free drink. Don't you?"

[texted3times]

"One beer," Eric decided.

"I'll take the biggest one ya got!" Yukari demanded happily....after taking a moment to just sort of blink in surprise that that had actually worked.

"So how ya been? I see you've presumably discovered shirts again!"

"I like to keep everyone guessing," Eric said, "And there was enough shirtlessness at Mardi Gras." He smiled. "I've been well--went back to Louisiana while the rest of the island got a paid vacation. Did you go?"

[id_kill_him]

"Are you kidding me?" asked Yukari. "Of course I did! Only thing better than a vacation is a free one! And, oh, you really missed you, let me tell you. The first hotel was a little fancy, a little on the boring side. But then the theme park part showed up, and that was great! I got banned from the scooters on the first day!

"So what's in Louisiana?"

[texted3times]

"My other bar," Eric said, nodding. "It's called Fangtasia." He blinked. "A theme park showed up?"
