erich doesnt expect to be asked such a question. especially with the limitation of not pony boy. "um...er..." erich starts and runs a hand through his hair in thought. "fuck if i know,man... soda pop? pony boy's brother?" erich says with a shrug. he wasnt ever any good at naming things,much less children. it was too much pressure to give something a name it might be stuck with for life. "total porn star. you could have the nickname of the hebrew hammer. it would totally work. " erich doesnt give much though to his son's middle name. he seriously doubted micah's mom really chose it because of him. it was very possible she never knew his real name. "william,huh? mind if i call you,willy?" erich chuckles and gives micah a nudge. erich wasnt sure if micah ever knew what his father's birth certificate said.so,no time like the present. "delisle is a great surname. mine,and i swear if you let this get around i will drop you off at a fucking orphanage: hebmuller. william hebmuller. i sound like some low level nazi...though erich hess doesnt sound much better. which i guess i was aiming for. there was a joke i made about a hess gas station..meh,it seemed funny at the time. " erich says feeling rather bitter but not really letting it out. what was he doing here? he was literally one person's father and near old enough to be so to the rest of them. well,aside for chloe. despite her baby face.
"london taxi drivers are god damned pirates." erich replies to riley. "of course,they all kinda of are. as much as i get around,i think i save money by actually driving everywhere." he laughs and nods towards the outside. he,micah and chloe had driven up one of erich's many 1959 cadillacs. even with the crazy gas prices,erich felt the came out ahead. rockstars do not ride buses or trains. "the rona,eh? hope he pulls through and stays away from his...wife?" erich wasnt exactly sure if oscar had married eilidh yet. erich had lost contact with her from their time time on big brother. it had been ages since he spoke to her. " riley,i've done blow in the bathroom of cbgb's. i think i'm pretty immune to most anything." erich grins to him. it was early in his career,but erich did play the legendary venue once. he forgot who his old band opened for,but they were there in 2006 for sure.
"you are not missing much." chloe informs micah of america. "except the food. its so bad for you,but it tastes so good." she tells micah wearily at first before brightening at the end. it hard to feel crappy when processed cheese is involved. sometimes though,she forgets that not everyone has spent the last 20 years crisscrossing the world like she has. " maybe everyone should see it once. just to see that it is there." she suggests with a little wave of her hand. she sort of understood where micah was coming from. everyone knew paris,but arles? it wasnt all that high on people's lists. they both were from off the beaten path. " i would hope not,micah. the adicts are like,your grandparents music. 1977 was a long time ago! they may still live there,though. so if you see any old punks at a pub..." she giggles. while the adicts still tour,it wasnt like they were selling out stadiums. unless you were looking for them,it was probable you didnt know them. while they had the honor of still being together,they werent exactly as well known as the pistols,the clash,or the damned.
"hey,watch the beard! i spend a lot of time on the beard and he hits the beard!" dallas says to everyone while dallas pinches his cheek. he loves the movie saturday night fever,so isnt going to miss a chance to paraphrase it.
erich grimaces and nods along with scott. " yeah,sorry dust. this shit makes me want to puke." erich croaks out. he shakes his head to try to get the taste away but that blue agave isnt going away so easily. "god damn!" he whines. you would think from his display that erich never drinks. in a few moments he is breathing deeply like a cat that is about to throw up a hairball. " dont ask,bad experiance." he tells everyone as he tries to regain his breath. chloe shrugs and takes it upon herself to pour another shot.
erich gives a final wince before realizing dustyn is talking about him. " first. these are wonderful digs and if your cellar doesnt have a bottle of pre ban pernod,you were ripped off and i may very well just leave." erich jokes to his adopted son. what he is asking for is rare,but not exactly unattainable he has a several bottles aboard the duke. but over 100 year old absinthe isnt something one comes across every day. " second. i will not stand for these...these...these assassinations of character. you think i would stoop as low as to bamboozle,nay,befuddle and confound the good customs officers of this country?! why i never!" erich creeches as if he has been mortally wounded by the words. he recites: "“We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.” dutifully as he pulls this and a variety of other substances from his jacket pockets and proceeds to dump it all on dustyn's counter top. " come with uncle and hear all proper. hear angel trumpets and devil trombones. you. are. invited." he announces as a stray pill rolls off the counter before it is caught by erich and promptly swallowed." you bought a lovely home,dusty. we need to break it in." in a way,erich didnt want micah involved in this side of his life...on the other,well, micah had to know what his father was about. half the stories about erich were exaggerations,the others didnt go far enough.
