From TFLN

Just a fellow pizza lover. You can call me Dean. Who are you?

[draperies]

Dean, it is my pleasure. You would probably not believe me if I told you.

[huntingthings]

Yeah, probably not. I'm notoriously skeptical.

Unless you're Batman.

[draperies]

I'm afraid I would disappoint you. I am not this Batman.

[huntingthings]

That's okay. We can't all be Batman.

So, boozing it up tonight, huh? What's the occasion?

[draperies]

Do you have many batmen?

[Because he would actually be interested in seeing that...]

There was no grand occasion, but there was much merrymaking regardless.

[huntingthings]

Sure. There's the Keaton, Clooney, the Bale. We do not speak of the Kilmer.

Hey, that's my kind of night. I like your sty;e.

[draperies]

You are very strange. Have you been told before?

It's unfortunate you are not here then.

[huntingthings]

My baby brother tells me so on occasion, but he's just jealous.

Where's "here"?

[draperies]

I'm certain that is the cause.

[Do you hear his skepticism through the text, Dean?]

New Mexico.

[huntingthings]

[Oh, he hears it. The guy must know Sam.]

What a coinky-dink. I am, too. I might be persuaded to bring pizza if you share your booze...

[draperies]

That is more than fair, friend.

[huntingthings]

I should warn you... I can put away more than my fair share of the fire water.

[draperies]

It sounds like you may desire a competition.

[huntingthings]

Maaaaaybe. You up for it?

[draperies]

Always. I will send you my location.

[huntingthings]

In that case, pizza's on its way. Be prepared!

[draperies]

I will be waiting, friend.

[huntingthings]

[Dean got the text with his new friend's address... maybe he should get a name at some point... and snagged some pizzas along the way. Pizza and booze, always a good combination.

He shifted the warm boxes to one hand and lifted the other to knock.]

Pizza delivery.

[draperies]

[He laughed at the sight of those boxes -- so he'd kept his word. Standing aside, he motioned him in.]

Enter, friend. As I promised, there is much to drink.

[While they ate, of course. Thor required sustenance now rather than more alcohol.]

[huntingthings]

[Dean never shirked his pizza responsibilities. Not when there was booze involved. The guy was pretty easy on the eyes, too. Bonus.]

Hope you're a carnivore. I didn't ask for anything green on these pizzas.

[draperies]

Whatever you brought, I'm certain it will be fine.

[He paused.]

I never got your name.

[huntingthings]

I'm Dean. Didn't catch yours, either.

[He set the pizza boxes down on the table and helped himself to a beer. Beer, pizza, and company. Not a bad way to spend an evening at all.]

[draperies]

Donald.

[The name that Jane had given him to use, a former boyfriend apparently... but it would suffice for this meeting, he supposes. It was easier to believe than Thor among mortals.]

[huntingthings]

Pleasure.

[He smiled and lifted his bottle to salute his new friend.]

So no occasion, huh? You just party when you feel like it?

[draperies]

It is not so uncommon where I am from to enjoy drinks and company.

[And Thor had always enjoyed them immensely.]

Though both are far sweeter with cause for celebration, I will give you that.

[huntingthings]

Sounds like my kind of place.

[Dean snagged a slice of pizza and sprawled on one of the motel bed, grinning at his new friend.]

We could make up an occasion?
