[ That grin gets a little more wide and a little more stupid as Dorian slams down two shotglasses then fills each up with vodka. ]

Shall we?

[ And then he knocks back his shot with the practiced air of an alcoholic party boy. ]

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Do remember to go easy on an old man.

[ Elias doesn't knock his back but downs it all in one pull. ]

Now. What was it that possessed you to become a banker of all things?

[brushoff]

You're not going to believe this...but simple boredom. I hadn't done it before, I've always had a head for numbers, I thought why the hell not.

Terminally dull, of course. But this was in 2005, before all the financial crises, so I had a lovely time doing absolutely dull nonsense in the day and getting coked out of my mind at night.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Ah. That kind of banker. [ he smiles again as things make sense. ]

You were the terror of the London night scene, I imagine.

[brushoff]

I actually dealt cocaine back in the day as well, [ he laughs. ] I was the man to know.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

A useful man to know. [ Even for people like Elias who didn't share those vices-- dealers were, generally, excellent sources of information ]

For my part, I fell in with the Fears at about the time I ought to have been exploring the various vices of the world. They've never held quite the same appeal since then. Though--

[ he pauses. adding the original elias bouchard was a druggie before i took his body and it was hell weaning the body off those things is something that might just kill the mood. ]

Like you, over the the years I do like to try new things on occasion.

[brushoff]

If the various vices of the world don't hold appeal for you anymore, then I simply need to be the one to re-introduce you to them, [ he laughs. ]

You'll like it if I'm showing you.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I will, will I? Very kind of you to offer to make the introductions for me.

[brushoff]

I'm so kind and loving like that, [ he teases. ] A regular Good Samaritan.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

[ again, laughter ]

Goodness, I hope not. I haven't much use for one of those.
