He looks mortified. Not only would being on LSD scare the shit out of him, it would violate his moral code. "Thanks Nina. Stuff like that is what made me straightedge."

nina winks and nods. "someone had to look out for you,love." she holds castors hand tightly. "wot,with all the lsd ninjas and what nots about." she laughs.


erica makes her innocent expression. "awful? me? mr castor you must have me mistaken."





a loud rumble and screeching tires announces erich's arrival. within seconds,his bomber capped form makes iton the lido deck. "hello and salutations all of you."


nina whispers to castor. "extra insurance erica stays out of everyone's hair." she kisses his ear.

erica squeals in delight and jumps on erich. "oh it was terrible! the man smelled like whiskey and he had a scar!" she kisses his cheek several times.


erich returns her kisses and holds both her hands. "so am i too late for the release party? fucking virgina closed it's borders because of some fucking 90 yeard old interloper." he stops mid ramble and goes to hug castor."mr drake.it's been far too long.yet,we meet again in canada."


nina sits on castor's lap."i should have done this days ago,love. brilliant on my part." she bites his neck softly.

nina giggles. "play your cards right,love and there will be more of that for you....possibly on lower parts of you." she smiles at him.


erich takes off his bomber cap. "where are my manners? between erica and the man i hope to be locked in prison with one day,i didnt even see you. hello miss nichole. wow. no wonder sam has such a har-...crush on you. "

erich laughs hard and winks. it isnt clear if he is winking at castor or nichole. "i'm just saying,if it had to happen, castor...i'd want it to be you. come on,you never think about these sort of things? " erich smiles at nichole. "thanks.always a good thing to hear. especially with all the god damn redcoats about."


nina gets off of castor's lap. "i'm going to fix drinks. place your order's now,loves."

"for the best friend of my friend? anything,love." nina puts the bottle on the bar for nichole. "we have like six more.nobody really drinks the things."

"i buy it mainly to keep up appearances.i dont want those pesky jones's thinking the are the ones i need to be keeping up with." erich chimes in while sharing peyote with erica. "well castor,i'de certainly hope after a few years in the pit,we could work out some sort of arrangment where it would be consensual.i'm not talking 5 smokes for a handy. but like real....communication."



nina shakes up a big mixer of white russian for castor. she pours two glasses of the concoction. she wanted to have whatever castor was having. "um erica? what's your poison,love?"


erica says dreamily. "a glass of death in the afternoon."

nina makes a face and pours erica one. "waste of bloody good absinthe if you ask me. ok you fucks.come get it!"

erich looks up from erica." dear nichole.the booze is limitless here as well...providing you arent picky. everything else is a pretty much bottomless supply too. " he holds up a fistful of peyote" want some? it's good for what ails you?"


nina grabs the back of castor's head."a little bit longer,love. i worked hard making that drink for you."

erica announces she is taking a shower and leaves for the below decks. so erich moves over to the bar area with everyone else. "this is fun.we should do this more often."

erich nods in agreement with nichole and eats the peyote himself."you know we have plenty of room. you and castor are always welcome." notices castor's tongue down nina's throat. "i doubt that cat is going to want to leave."

"oh castor,love."she smiles and giggles."you think our guests will be ok with an unmanned bar? "she winks and nods towards her room.

nina shrieks, "castor! put me down! you're going to drop me and i'll break my fucking neck!"



erich laughs at nina and castor. "i dunno.he looks pretty.... occupied." nervous as he is left with a stranger and his tripping hard. erich combs his hair. "i bet the album is going to be an absolute corker.castor is one of the few people i like to see drum. he's so.....wham!"

nina holds castor on top of her and starts biting his neck. "not to put a damper on things,but you'll have to be gentle.i'm still a bit tender in that region,love."


"i hope to see you play soon,i bet you are quite the talent," erich takes a drink of erica's drink ."ugh,that is fucking nasty." erich desperately hopes erica or someone else comes out to join them,he doenst want to seem too flirtatious.
