[TonyMontana1638]

Tony started at the sound of a door opening, awaking from his drunken slumber. He looked around, trying to survey his surroundings, and realized he was lying in the gutter outside the Tap & Tea.
"Christ, they must've thrown me out again. Damn, I don't remember a thing..."
He made the effort to stand up, swaying to and fro as his legs had been reduced to nothing more than pudding (or jello) by the vast amounts of Guiness he'd consumed. He heard a door open again, this time being able to discern voices around the corner to his right. Curious, he staggered right into the path of two people he vaguely recognized, knocking one to the ground.
"Whoa! Hey what the..." said a voice to his right and he felt a hand encircle his thoat in a vicelike grip. Focusing his eyes with some measure of difficulty, Tony was able to make out the countenace of a familiar face from his work.
"Chus?"
"Tony? Is that you?"
Having recognized his friend, Chus loosened his grip around Tony's neck and brushed something off of his friend's shoulder.
"What are you doing out here? Where did you come from?" Chus asked. He gave a sniff with his nose, "Tony, dude, have you been drinking?"
"Heh, surprise, surprise," Tony replied, giving a weak smile.

"Hey! Is anyone going to help me up? Are you two done making out?" came an irritable voice from off to their left.
"Ack! Sorry, sorry," Chus quickly said, helping the person Tony had knocked to the ground up with a hand.
It was a she, Tony realized, and a striking one at that. Even in the dark with his senses being none too good, he was able to discern her beautiful features.
