[the thudding of a club's bass and a dull roar of a crowd permeate the line in the speaker's obvious hesitance, mouth swollen with slowness]

-- Hey. I, ah...

Hnm?

[in the background, the soft chatter and hum of a TV, genre indiscernible]

[another shift and stretch (the lazy dog, not the quick brown fox), and Badou prompts]

'Sup, Super Monk?

[another long pause, and the guide is set down against porcelain and a faucet turned]

[a buzz from the speakers, right on cue, matches the buzz Badou feels in the air]

[it's not even remotely related to what (who) he's thinking about (no high skirts, low payments, or helpful warning roars before dismemberment), and that... helps]

[he eases, chuckling through water on his face]

After, but it's like a tacky remake set or somethin'. The whores keep sacrificin' these johns ta Anubis, y'know, the dog-headed fucker? An' I'm pretty sure that shit's Egypt, not, uhhh, America. I think they blew their writer's budgets on corn syrup an' g-strings. Not that I'm complainin'.

Unh. Don't 'magine they care.

[Badou's quick ramble next to his slow crackle feels right as the faucet twists off]

[it's so clean he doesn't feel it slide in -- yet]

What, really? Never been in there, they got standards. An' bigass bouncers.

[an (appropriately) high-pitched scream from the television]

How'd it go? Papa bringin' home the bacon, makin' the dough, maybe orderin' a pizza tonight 'coz I'm real broke an' real hungry?

Nnh. Ain't my first time. -- Swear tuh Kannon, I'm takin' over your finances.

[it's an annoyed, inattentive grunt with no real threat]

Yuh, pizza's fine, use the red card.

[another, more abrupt shift, as if he'd almost fallen from the groove he'd no doubt worn into the couch]

[it's followed by a fumbling, with a familiar tchk tchk]

Why ya still hangin' around? You got more customers or you scorin'?

[the fall is a chain reaction, as soles lose their footing, too]

[he was forgetting (but that wasn't really something he welcomed either, was it)]

I was on my way out when I called.

[judging from the bass still in the distance, unmoved, he hasn't waded the sea of bodies to get from the bathroom to the door]

...You any good at dancin'? Naw, that's a dumb question.
