"Yeah there was uh I don't remember this show, or maybe it was in Anthony Bourdain's autobigraphy, but there's this game we should play before we go."
"What is it? Cards against Humanity? Not interested."
"Do you have an egg?"
"Uhh, I think, but I think its pretty old too."
"Yes, so, uhh gather round." Sean Said. And everyone moved around the table. Sitting on assorted things, some people with chairs others with stools, another with a stump. The smoking stump they called it.
"So the game is simple, its a bad game for good company." He looked around the room.
Alan felt like
Imogen Howe
was looking at him more than the others. Or maybe she was looking at Sean?
"Oh shit, I forgot we need shot glasses. and uhh vodka." People made faces to this.
"Okay whiskey?"
Alan got up too fast making his chair fall behind him and fold back up with a bang.
"I got uhh, Captain Morgan?"
"That's great, load them up."
So he dealt alcohol like cards at a black jack table, one for you one for you.
Then he made a drink himself.
"So, pretty much your trying to find a drinking partner, and the egg decides. You match you drink a little. Except if you match with yourself you down the drink, and spin again."
People focused and Sean took the first spin. Alan, they looked each other in the eye and took a little sip. Alan's turn Aaron and him matched, so they did a little cheers.
