"I'm smaller, so why don't you take the bed. Guys always take the sofa, and it isn't fair. I can be happy on the sofa."
I change into my pajamas and grab one of the blankets and pillows from the bed. I move to the sofa and make myself comfortable.

"Hey that's great!" I say enthusiastically. "Yeah I'll take it!" I take a big swig of my gin and tonic since I'm so excited, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I don't really drink much unless it's in moderation.
"Ack... Okay... I don't know much about bartending or drinks or anything, but I'm a quick learner, or I could even do something else."

Alejos is only 4'11", so the shorter argument didn't really hold up. But, still, he was more than willing to take the bus.

Post by Ian "Mad" Sweeney on Apr 13, 2005 21:00:35 GMT -5
Mad Sweeney has decided to play sick for a week. However, this time it is not because he has IRA business. He wants to go see Dr. Roth. Dr. Roth, even though he is British, is one of Mad Sweeney's favorite poets. Besides, he isn't a Protestant, so it could be worse...
Sweeney got the money for the trip by promising to kidnap the daughter of a certain British politician later.
After landing, people are not allowed to disembark immediately, since there is a riot or something in Berlin. Sweeney is relieved when he hears this, since he was worried that the authorities had figured him out, and caught him.

I spread out on the sofa and close my eyes.
"Don't let the bed bugs bite."
I smile and go to sleep.

"Cool. Bartending really isnt that hard, and you have to learn by experience. And, there really isnt any assigned jobs; I try to keep this place as free as I can. You rotate between serving, barkeeping, and various other tasks as needed, just like I do. You'll often find me just sweeping the floor, because my only other coworker, Lisa, is far too lazy. All she does is cook, and sometimes serve. But, what can I do? Nothing.
I got stuck with her a while back, and she has no where to go. I feel bad for her, so I keep her on. And, shes kinda cute. But, I already dated her, and It totaly didn't work out. So, she is free game, if you want her."
I wink and give a hard chuckle.

"Night," he said.
He lay there for a few hours before realizing he's not gonna sleep easily. He sighed and decided to check in on Vodya. He called the number but was unable to get through. So he decided to call Sakari. He dialed his friend's number and waited for an answer.

"Ernest dear, I assure you that Toivo is far too busy with his political work to take any interest at all in women. Why, he's just like a little green party robot." I say to Ernest.

Sakari feels in a cheery mood as well, and so far, they've both been treated respectfully, even though they don't speak the language. As though this were a common thing.
"Everyone here is real nice..." I say, then hear my phone ring.
"Holy shit I still have this thing!" Sakari says, pulling out the sooty, wretched looking phone. He answers, putting a finger in the ear that's not held up to the phone.
"Hello?" I ask in English. It seems a sure bet that whoever's on the other end doesn't speak Finnish unless it's my mother.

I am called up to Mr. Crest's office. I am pretty nervous since I never meet with many rich people.
I bow my head as I enter the office.
"Hello sir, I represent Human Rights Watch and am out soliciting donations. Have you heard of us, sir?"

"Whoa, hey man, talk about coincidence, we were just talking about you..." Sakari says, struggling to balance his two bags, a hat, and a phone at the same time, while walking back to the hotel.
"Hey you're not gonna believe this, but we're in Rio right now. Where are you?"

"We are only political partners. But I don't know what I would do without my little Toivo. He's such a darling. What a wonderful man. There isn't a woman in the world worthy of dating him, and if they wanted to, I would probably beat them up...ha ha...oh no, that is just a joke. Maybe I've had too much gin."
I drink some more of my gin and tonic.

"Whoah, wierd. I'm in Brazillia right now," he said, unaware of Sakari's balancing prediciment. "I picked up a Socialist in Columbia. She's joining our cause and coming to HQ with us."
