| *Daemon and Arrmaduke.* *Daemon goes to Arrmaduke's place and knocks on the door. Arrmaduke opens the door, groggily* Daemon-Sorry, did I wake you? Arrmaduke- Daemon, the sun's down. I was up anyway, but it takes me a little while to fully wake. Daemon-Oh, sorry. Arrmaduke- Quite alright, grandson, Daemon-I just wanted to talk to you about my father. Arrmaduke- what about him? Please, come in! Make yourself comfortable! Want anything to eat or drink? Daemon-Uh, sure! You got any drink that relax? Arrmaduke- *Chuckles* sure do! But I'm afraid it may be a little strong for you. Wouldn't want you to hurt yourself. Daemon-Yeah, I guess you're right. You got anything that I COULD handle? Arrmaduke- I think I might Daemon-Cool. Arrmaduke- *Goes rumaging in the liquer cabinet* Will rum do? Daemon-I guess, but I've never had it before. Arrmaduke- well, you take it in small amounts, or shots. Daemon-I knew that much, I just never drank it before. Arrmaduke- well, can you guess why you drink it in small amounts? Daemon-Really potent stuff? Arrmaduke- Exactly! but, the very forst time I had it, it wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. want a swig? Daemon-Sure. *Daemon drinks it and coughs like everything* Arrmaduke- Ah, 1820. good year! here! *Pours him a shot, and himself one* *Arrmaduke laughs and goes to get Daemon water* Daemon-What's so funny? *cough, cough* Arrmaduke- Well, I've seen young boys give that very same reaction! you're no boy. You're a man, and that reaction was a little off! Daemon-Hey, what do ya expect! I've never had the stuff before! Arrmaduke- heh, yeah well, I was but a boy when I had my forst and I liked it right off! Daemon-Ah, well, maybe you had the stomach for it. I'm used to beer though, but I guess that don't count. Arrmaduke- Beer is rather weak, but good for parties. Daemon-Yeah, just had a party yesterday. Arrmaduke- really?! What'd you do? Daemon-Had a superbowl party! A couple people passed out 'cause they were so drunk! Arrmaduke- "superbowl"? Is that a large bowl you praise or somehting??! Daemon-No! Ha, ha, ha! It's where the two best football teams get together in a big dome, kinda like the Roman Coluseum and play a game against one another to see who's the best team in the world. Arrmaduke- is it anyhting like Gladiators??? Daemon-Not exactly, even though the men playing the game are pretty big and tough. But they throw around some pig hide. Arrmaduke- really? Doesn't that hurt the pig? Daemon-It's just pig hide taken off a dead pig, it's sanitized and everything, stitched up and filled with air. Arrmaduke- AIR??!!! Daemon-Yeah. Just like a basketball. Arrmaduke- what's that? Daemon-No body's told you nothin'! Arrmaduke- nope :-( Daemon-The best way to learn about the various sports that we play in this age is to play them. Arrmaduke- o-kay... Daemon-I'll show ya how to play them, from what I know anyway. Either that or we can watch them on tv. Just stay away from tennis and golf, those are two of the most boring sports to watch! Arrmaduke- umm...o-kay? Daemon-I hope I didn't confuse you too much! Arrmaduke-... Daemon-I'm sorry, no hard feelings? Arrmaduke- no, of course not! Daemon-Okay, cool! So what did you do for fun in the past? Arrmaduke- target practice, hunting, ... Daemon-Ah, that reminds me of Wolf. You know her, right? Arrmaduke- umm...at the very least I know whom you are talking about Daemon-Timberland's mother? Arrmaduke- yes, I know. What about her? Daemon-She likes to do target practice as well. I don't think she hunts though. If she did, she'd make a killing, ha, ha, ha! Arrmaduke- heh, heh, heh *Mildly amused* Daemon-So, did you ever go to any of those Gladiator events? Arrmaduke- yes! Very bloody, some of them... Daemon-Weren't those matches pretty much to the death? Arrmaduke-...yes. but I mean, some were dismemberments Daemon-Ouch! Arrmaduke- well, the contestants never felt it coming. Daemon-I bet not if they were beheaded! Arrmaduke- yes, quite but what brings you to my humble abode? Daemon-Oh yeah, kinda got off the subject, and that is my father. Arrmaduke-...and...? Daemon-Well, I kinda yelled at him for something he said earlier today. Arrmaduke- really!? Daemon-Yeah. Arrmaduke- what over? Daemon-Well, he said that he made his wives think he was "sick", so they felt bad for him. He took advantage of the situation, if you know what I mean. |
