That's what it says on my uniform ((early 72))

"I'll do my best," he stood up straight. "I suppose I should get it all out in the open with Mac. Now or never, all that jazz."

[Meadowlark]

"Probably. So you're going to be there tonight, then?"

[qualapec]

"Yep," Tugger replied. "The old coot's in the dirt and we're," dancing around the grave like it was a pagan ritual site, "givin' him a send off Irish style."

[Meadowlark]

Grids smiled slightly, "I know you all are pleased about this, and not in the traditional rejoicing as a wake sense."

[qualapec]

"Well...our demon's gone. I don't think any of us'll ever be quite right from it." Tugger smiled and gave her a sideways glance. "Yeah, we're glad he's dead. More 'n anything I think we're glad we survived." He swallowed thickly. "Are you coming later?"

[Meadowlark]

She nodded, "I told Mac I'd be there."

[qualapec]

"Oh, so you'll be there to help clean my fuzzy remains off the walls after Mac is done with me..." Tugger mumbled.

[Meadowlark]

"Oh for pity's sake, Tugger. It won't be that bad," I don't think...

[qualapec]

"Probably not," Tugger replied, "I dunno. I can't predict him. At least I keep his life interesting." He remembered her words and winced. "I'll be gentle, though."

[Meadowlark]

She offered him a faint smile at that, "Thank you. Well, I have work to finish here. I'll see you this evening."

[qualapec]

Dramatically, Tugger bowed and twirled his cap. "I'll see you then, Milady." He turned to leave. "I've gotta get a last meal and chain smoke a little." Wincing, he glanced back. "And I will be careful. I'm no stranger to these streets."

[Meadowlark]

She shook her head, "Alright, take care, Tugger." Milady turned back to her cleaning.

[qualapec]

"Will do. You, too." He saluted and left.
