@SEVERANCOMPLEX The place was small but looked like an old dinner decorated in a winter scene. Leading her to one of the dark wooden booths, "I take your warning seriously. I assure you."
@SEVERANCOMPLEX "I have enough to deal with. Don't need to test my heart." Moving towards a door with a polar bear with a blue scarf around its neck, he opened the door and bored a little, "After you."
@SEVERANCOMPLEX Blinking before eyes widening in an amused shock, "Never tried either of those and I rather not take my chances." Trying very hard not to laugh.
@SEVERANCOMPLEX Snorts before smiling, "No. I did get a few interesting gut reactions, but I learned the lessons they taught me. It also gave me a tougher stomach. Pretty sure I could eat iron now without flinching."
@SEVERANCOMPLEX As they moved down the street, "That's good. I tend to do the Frankenstein method and mix different things together. Always trying to try something different. Of course, there were some failed experiments." Chucking and shaking his head.
@SEVERANCOMPLEX "Seems that we're going to the right place then." Giving her a lopsided grin that gave him a more boyish look. "Guess that's your favorite then?"
@SEVERANCOMPLEX Starts to motion her to follow him before he remembered his manners, and offered his arm, "From what I remember they have over 50 different flavors and they're all hand made."
@SEVERANCOMPLEX Feeling a little more relaxed, he took a deep breath and said, "I know a place near here that makes some pretty mean ones. Interested?"
This was not normal for him. He rarely socialized sober. He just hoped that he wouldn't regret it.
@SEVERANCOMPLEX Rubbing the back of his neck as he tried to keep a smile on his face, "If that works for you, great. I'm glad."
He heard Dick chime in, "Don't be like that, Doc. She's just trying to be friendly. Doesn't hurt to be nice."
Awkward pause, " You like milkshakes?"
@SEVERANCOMPLEX Shifting from foot to foot, feeling nervous with what she said, he chuckled, "Read your mind? Naah." Cleaning his throat, "Some things can't be faced though or shouldn't."
@SEVERANCOMPLEX Nodding at what she said. Started to offer his hand but dropped it. Probably wouldn't be wise, "I know that feeling very well. Some problems just eat at us until the only thing we can do is try and make ourselves numb."
@SEVERANCOMPLEX Eyebrows shot up at that. Most people tend to frown when he talked about drinking.
"Oh! Any reason why?"
Cringing a little when he realized how personal that question might be.
Clearing his throat, "I'm Danny. Who might you be?"
@SEVERANCOMPLEX Not sure why this woman wanted to talk to him but was willing to roll with it, "Sober. Hoping to fix that soon."
The dead were getting loud again and he just wanted his own thoughts back.
@SEVERANCOMPLEX Looking up from looking at a crumpled piece of paper in his hand, he sees the girl looking at him. Realized she was talking to him, he said, "Ummm. Hello?"

Whiskey numbs things until it doesn’t. At that moment you can feel everything. Even your hair seems to be breathing. It was a painful and disconcerting experience.
It was also at that --
--Just happened to have a heartbeat.
With that last thought, I decided to go to bed. At least then I could try and get away from reality. Maybe I could dream of a life where I was normal and Dad hadn’t been possessed by a crazy hotel that liked to eat--
