Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp is here at the bar tonight. He hits more than just this one, but tonight he decided to come to this one. Chimp is walking to the bar, and nods to the one behind the bar, "The normal." He says as he climbs up onto a stool, pulling a cigar out to light it on one of the candles nearby, and once his shot gets there he downs it then starts to sip at his beer.

John Constantine has posed:
John Constantine frequents a lot of bars and pubs. He has an advantage over the Chimp: he can go to most of the normal, mortal ones, too. But tonight he finds himself in Oblivion. It's only a few seconds after Chimp takes his shot that John slides into the stool next to him and sits his rump down, elbows on the bartop. "Chimp."

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp nods over to the other and will take a moment to look back to see what might be trailing the other man. John has a bit of a rep be it earned or not, it is best to keep ones eyes open and that is something Chimp is good at. "Evening John, good to see you not on fire." He offers with a smirk.

John Constantine has posed:
"Owe it all to clean livin'," John tells the Chimp with a smirk. He holds up two fingers to call the bartender over and then asks for a beer and a shot, the same way Chimp did. "So what've you been up to, Chimp? Got any interestin' cases?" He turns a little, leaning onto the bartop with his forearms.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp looks over and says "Not a lot, met a soviet dog, who returned from Space in search of a guy recently. That was somewhat interesting. Other than that mostly more run of the mill cases, which in gotham can be a bit odd on their own.

John Constantine has posed:
"Soviet dog? You don't say." John picks up a shot glass and tosses it back, hissing a bit and setting it aside before picking up his beer glass. "That sounds like a story, mate." He considers Chimp, and then says, "I've been havin' a little trouble findin' someone, you think you can help me out?"

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp looks over and says "Well probably, but I will need to know a bit more before I say for sure, you know the normal. Who are we looking for, where were they last seen, who will be trying to kill us."

John Constantine has posed:
"A while back a demon decided to impersonate me. He ran off when I made my way back around, but he's still running around with me face, see, and I'm starting to think maybe it's time to put an end to that." John sips his beer, raising his brows and looking at Chimp. "But he's got a bit of an asychronicity field that's bloody fuckin' with me style and he keeps stickin' one step ahead."

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp hmmmms and says "I think I may have heard a bit about that in the past, not big details, but a few hints here and there." He sips his beer and thinks a bit and says "You do realize the most effective way to find him is going to put you under the microscope as well?"

John Constantine has posed:
"What are you gonna find on me that you don't already know, Chimp?" John looks at the ape with a shrug. "Or that's gonna shock you?" Probably nothing. Everyone knows John's done things other people wouldn't ever consider because he's the one you call when you need someone willing to cross a line... or twelve. "You find him. I send him back to Hell."

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp nods, and says "Just wanting to make sure you know some corners you might not want light to get shined on might have to be." He tells the other man "I aint trying to judge just making sure y a realize it."

John Constantine has posed:
"I'm all corners in the dark, mate. I don't _want_ you to go lookin', but this thing is specially tailored to be a pain in my fuckin' ass, and I'd rather you go lookin' than some of the other gumshoes we know." John finishes his beer.

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp nods his head a bit to this and says "Well, give me a report on roughly where and what you been up to for say the last month, so I have a base line to see if something seems to be you or him.

John Constantine has posed:
"I'll do you one better. I'll forward you all the locations I've tracked'im to that he's left just before I got there. Bloody annoying, let me tell you." He pulls out a list from his jacket and slides it over to the Chimp; it has a number of locations around the globe, with times and dates. "Start there, I think."

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp nods his head a bit to this and takes the paper, and looks it over before pocketing it. He will make mental notes of places that seem connected or that seem out of the ordinary for John. "So, in general, he leaving people looking for your hide?"

John Constantine has posed:
"Yeah. But people being angry with me isn't something I'm too worried about." John slides off the stool and stretches, pulling out a couple of notes and tossing them on the bartop. "Thought you might wanna be careful when you bring my name up, yeah."

Detective Chimp has posed:
Detective Chimp nods his head a bit and says "Well that is pretty much always the case if I am investigating you or not now aint it?"

John Constantine has posed:
John just smirks at Chimp and then claps the ape's shoulder, patting a few times before he starts for the door. "Thanks, Chimp. Owe you one."
