ways_back_room | Plot points. I'm serious.

The following events have been summarized because They Contain Future Plot Points. And, really, that's all anyone wants: plot points! Okay, and wingsex. Maybe.

Hellboy approaches the Bar and orders a drink (obviously), only to be approached by Ash, who observes Hellboy but more importantly orders food. Hellboy acts macho and after Ash asks, shares the really-really-condensed version of his life. This includes a passing mention of Nazis.

Ash introduces himself as a freelance fighter of the undead (kids: don't imitate this), and Hellboy thinks that's pretty darn cool. Commiserating on the disadvantages of the undead ensues. Canada is mentioned in passing. Back story is asked for, because it's all but a tradition, darnit. Evil books are brought up, Hellboy valiantly refrains from comparing their arms, and Ash chokes while Hellboy is vaguely impressed, except not by the choking.

There's nearly a discussion on kids, maturity, and whether reading is really good for you, but Ash and Hellboy have more important things to do, like drinking. Hellboy heads for bed, whereas Ash decides he's going home for the time-being, so screw it.

In conclusion: fighting the undead is a lucrative business, plot points are everywhere, and alcohol is good for you. Haha! That was a joke, see? ...Um.
