You've reached Ray's phone. Good for you. Clearly I haven't answered said phone, so you're just going to have to leave a message. Suck it up, princess.

[Well. Okay, that sure was an explanation wasn't it.

aaand then it finally dawns on Ray how... pushy L is being about this whole coffee shop thing um. Creepy?]

Uh. Sure? I mean, this is kinda sudden, y'know.

[dead_black_eyes]

Yeah, I... know it's sudden.

[So maybe Ray deserves a bit more of an explanation.]

The person I know who moved that gold bar for me knows that I was... am an addict. He thinks he's going to see the money again very soon, and I don't want that to happen. I thought that since you saved my life, and I owe you... I'd be able to handle this amount of money more responsibly if it was going toward something that you want, too.

[synonymouswithdookie]

Oooh Jesus. Um. Shit.

[this is Ray's brain exploding okay. you've exploded his brain.]

Okay, first of all, you don't owe me anything. Okay?

Second, if this is something you wanna do, if you think we can open a joint and run it and everything, then count me in. I mean, it might take a while to get something like that up and running.

[dead_black_eyes]

If you're worried about how much self control I have... it's usually enough. I'm clean for two years, not counting some catnip. They just... included something gratis, I found it when I was going through the bag and I've been staring at it all day.

I do want it. As much as I complained, I liked it, and I liked working there. It was a point of stability and it helped me.

[synonymouswithdookie]

Gratis... oh.

[well that's no good]

You at your place?

[dead_black_eyes]

Yeah. I'm here. My roommate's at work.

[synonymouswithdookie]

Okay.

I think we ought to talk about this in person. All of this.

[dead_black_eyes]

I'm not really ready for visitors... and I'll be OK. I'm going to flush it. In a little while.

[He's been trying to gather the conviction for hours.]

[synonymouswithdookie]

You need to get rid of that shit. Don't wait.

[dead_black_eyes]

"Need" is a confusing word right now.

Don't worry, I'll do it.

[synonymouswithdookie]

Okay. If you say you'll do it, then you'll do it.

[dead_black_eyes]

You're right though. About needing to talk about this in person soon. I don't know a lot about running a business.

[synonymouswithdookie]

I don't really either. We're gonna have a lot of homework to do.

[dead_black_eyes]

You know the shop, though. What worked and what didn't. I want to rebuild it exactly the way it was.

[synonymouswithdookie]

That's true.

I don't... know if the lay out should be the same.

[dead_black_eyes]

Since you're an owner and the head manager, I'll defer to your judgment on that.

[synonymouswithdookie]

Maybe a different location.

[dead_black_eyes]

This would be easier in person.

[He's a holy wreck right now, so...]

I guess your schedule's probably pretty free, so... how about Tuesday evening? Maybe I can get my roommate to make dinner.

[OOC: Aaaaand I can totally set up a log if you're game]

[synonymouswithdookie]

[thats ok ray's battling ptsd shit they can both be holy wrecks]

If you want. I don't want to impose on your roommate or anything.

[ooc: HECKS YEAH BRO]

[dead_black_eyes]

Do you have any meal preferences?

[LOL, imposing on Belle, hon L has been imposing on her for years.]

[OOC: Here we are!]

[synonymouswithdookie]

Not really. I'll eat anything.

[goodness me.

ooc: WOO HOO]
