[b]Keri also began to drink, but not at the rate JT was. She preferred to savor her drinks, rather than just drink them. She really wanted that long, drawn out buzz.[/b]

[i]JT on the other hand had three or so fresh bullet wounds in his chest, and a couple of .44 rounds in his daughter, not to mention the massive holes from a trident in his chest from not too long ago. So, JT was understandably going to try and get hammered in an attempt to drown out the thoughts. [/i]
-
[b]Keri began to drink a little faster, now determined to pace JT on how fast she could drink.[/b]
-
[i]JT was still a human, and so he finished his long sip with maybe an eighth of the modest sized bottle gone, which wasn't too big nor small. And so he placed his drink on a rock next to him, as he took a seat. "So, Keri, how's a beautiful lady like you been lately?"[/i]
-
"Well... One of my friends died a little while ago. Remember that one hooker that -blam!-ed your friends? Yeah... She got shot after she tried to bolt when some lady's husband found them. Sucks, don't it? Anyways, what've you been up to?" [b]Only a little bit of Keri's drink was gone, not even what JT drank out of his. She took another small sip from her bottle.[/b]

[i]"Training, drinking, tryin' to provide for the family." JT calmly stated as he grabbed his drink again, and took another sip. "Had a wife, she passed a few years ago. Kids live in Vegas, one's in this here Dojo. And what hooker? I legitimately don't recall."[/i]
-
"Eh, you probably never met her. She wasn't really that memorable. Also, you've got yourself some kids? Good job, JT. I always thought you'd go with the old loner deal. I'll have to meet the one that's in the Dojo."
-
"Yeah, gotten lonelier as I got older, hard to deal with this stuff as an old man." JT was truthful in his words. He was relatively ignored in comparison to most people within the Dojo, like Ornstein who knew most people, Anri who wad lucky enough to get in a relationship, Vio, Sketch, Roy, most people. JT had his guns and a badass facade though interaction as a human was required, hence why his daughter was here.
-
"Heh. Can't say I know the feeling. Never really get that lonely. I've kinda just given up at this point. Relationship wise, that is. Don't really see a point. I've spent time in other people's company. Makes it easier just to be friends with people. Not to say I don't get people gunning for me. Oh wait. That's exactly what I'm trying to say."
-
"Eh, relationships aren't the most important thing in the world to me, knowing people is. And right now I don't know all too many people." JT said, before he chugged another sip of his drink. "Either way, relationships are just better ways to feel good and grt laid, and neither are my biggest priority. Nat seems to disagree though."
-
[b]She chuckles.[/b] "Exactly how old is she? She seems pretty young to me. I remember when I was really young... Coming up on 40 now."
-
"Really? I'm fourty myself, Lance too I think. Etana probably is." JT said with a chuckle. He hasn't seen Etana since the Cedyetica days and Lance was a member of the Dojo. "And Nat would be twenty one."
-
"Lance? Have you heard from him in a while? Haven't gotten to talk to him in even longer than you."
-
"Spoke ti him yesterday, fought him to test him for fights in this here Dojo, got my ass beat. In my own -blam!-ing place no less."
-
"Heh. You ever figure out exactly what happened after Cedyetica? I didn't."
-
"We went our separate ways. Jack Rabbit stopped issuing bounties, I joined an army and defected for my old PMC, Lance had kids and is some traveling samurai, Etana and Trinity became normal folk and settled down, Diana married Jess, the list goes on."
-
"The two lesbians married each other? I'm honestly surprised. I thought they were just fùckbuddies. And Lance has a kid? Good for him."
-
"Guy's got two kids. I got three and Etana got one, funny enough."
-
"Etana? Had a kid? Oh god do I feel sorry for that kid. And Etana. Kids are fûcking brutal. I raised Daniel after me and him left Cedyetica."
