OOC:If this thread gets shut down, I propose that Galt restart it...by invitation only.
EDIT: IC: "I wouldn't be drinking that water, buddy" Irish said to Shaz. "Don't know if it's safe or not. It's not filtered at all. It could have the virus in it. You could play it safe and boil it...or just go grab a bottle of water from the food court."
Shaz stared at him for a moment, stunned by the surprising moment of brilliance that the young man had shown. "Can't be too careful these days." Looking up at Shaz, he cracks a smile. "Many thanks for the offer, friend, but I'm Catholic. And since your name isn't John the Baptist I'll be sitting this one out."
Irish sits down, scratching at the stitches on his shoulder. "The name's Tommy, by the way, Tommy O'Reilly. But you can just call me Irish if that suits you better...everyone else does." He notices that Shaz seems a little bit woebegone and filthy. "Buddy, if you're wanting to wash up, I've got some soap here for you. Just because we're living in hell don't mean we've got to smell. Never hurts to have some soap handy...I know from experience."
Shaz stares blankly at the young man. Slightly bewildered by his odd nature, he nonetheless took his gift.
