It's Called "Telepathy"

"If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence."
-- George Eliot, Middlemarch

Cold brains can be so icky.

[bartender-tim.livejournal.com]

Nah. If you're having cold brains, it's a lot like a flan. Then you need some fresh strawberries and whipped cream.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

I dunno about the texture, though. Brains don't have a flan mouth-feel.

[bartender-tim.livejournal.com]

If you don't prepare them properly, sure. While there is more than one way to eat a cold brain, I personally like the flan approach.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Since I only eat brains the metaphorical way, I'll have to take your word on that.

[bartender-tim.livejournal.com]

You probably shouldn't. I'm horribly unreliable.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

::shrugs:: So I won't rely on you for important things.

[bartender-tim.livejournal.com]

Do you generally consider the time of day to be important?

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

For some things.

[bartender-tim.livejournal.com]

Actually, now that I think about it, the only thing I am reliable with is the alcohol. Do you drink?

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Sure do.

[bartender-tim.livejournal.com]

Excellent.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Are you making some kind of offer?

[bartender-tim.livejournal.com]

Some kind, sure. You're welcome to drop by the bar for a drink sometime.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

For a drink on the house or as a paying customer? Not that I'd mind either way, but it'd be cool to know.

[bartender-tim.livejournal.com]

On the house.

There's also the special. If you get hilariously drunk, all your drinks for the night are on the house, as long as you don't break anything expensive or hurl on my floor.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Cool.

But you don't want a drunk telepath in your bar. Seriously. Thus, I tend to carefully control my alcohol intake.

[bartender-tim.livejournal.com]

I think a drunk telepath or two would definitely qualify as hilarious, but the other patrons might not think so.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Especially when I start telling everyone their secrets and telling them they're fuckups.

[bartender-tim.livejournal.com]

You need to be drunk to do that?

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Nah, but when I'm sober I'm strategic about what I reveal to whom while when I'm drunk I unload on everyone.

[bartender-tim.livejournal.com]

Maybe I should get you drunk, then. That sounds like a lot of fun.

[tastes-of-honey.livejournal.com]

Your idea of fun sounds a lot like mine. But nobody gets me drunk against my will.

[bartender-tim.livejournal.com]

Talking people into it is half the fun.
