WHO: Tank Girl, Gordon Freeman, Alyx Vance
WHERE: Bowling Alley Lab in progress
WHEN: Forward-date to tommorow? (May 19th, 2010)
WARNINGS: Besides booze? Nope.
SUMMARY: Alyx introduces Gordon and Tank to each other, and shows off the lab-in-progress.
FORMAT: Whatever! (as for an order, if nobody cares we can go Alyx -> Tank -> Gordon since Mandas is going to bed)

Alyx waited outside the alley for Gordon and Tank to show up. She had given Gordon some extra directions, at least, so she knew he would get here soon enough.

Well, she "knew" Gordon would do a lot of things.

But her frustrations with The City aside, this was nice. She could introduce him to a friend she made, and showed off what she had been doing here so far. It was something, right?

Tank rolled up fairly quickly. Eager to meet Alyx's post-apocalyptic buddy.

She, of course, was carrying a keg, with several six packs and 24 packs of various wonderful boozes on top of it, rolling it in neatly into the soon-would-be-lab.

"Oi, Alyx! Your friend here yet, or what? We aren't really fully operational on the whole 'science' bit in this place yet, so I figured I'd make up for it with beer."

Gordon'd rolled in a few seconds after Tank, and he wanders into the "lab" rather obviously, and gives a sheepish wave.

Alyx folds her arms and grins at Tank when she shows up.

"Not yet, but definately soon. Don't worry about it, though, beer's just fine--"

Then she spotted Gordon out of the corner of her eye and grinned wider.

"Speak of the devil," she waves back.

OH GOD I SUCK

"Is it? Does he even drink? He's going to anyway, I'm just wondering."

She drops everything a little haphazardly, turning back around, waving at the bearded fellow.

"Ahoy. I'm Tank." She said, sticking a hand out.

Definitely not your standard mechanic.

"Pleasure."

LIES AND SLANDER

Gordon nods, quietly as always, and shakes her hand with his own gauntleted one. He gives the air of being pleased as well, even if the pleasure is, well, dubious. He trusts Alyx's ability to judge character, though.

The beer makes him think both of Barney, and of parties he remembers from MIT. Crazy folk.

YEAH

Alyx steps back, arms still folded just watching, smiling and always pleased to have friends meet friends. A little unsure of how well Tank and Gordon would get on at first, being seeing them talk over the comm put herself at ease.

"We didn't exactly get to do any partying when we met back home..." Alyx shrugged, waiting a moment before she interjected. "But Barney still owes him a beer, so I think we'll be okay, huh?"

"Fuck 'a' beer. I don't have all this beer so just I can drink it. Help yourself, while we show your buddy around."

Immediately grabbed 3 bottles, all for herself.

"We should get the electricity hooked up ASAP. I've been dying to use these lanes for their intended destiny."

Popped open all three, chugged.

Gordon is never one to say no to decent beer, especially when he hasn't had one in a while. He gives Tank another gracious nod before picking up one to start.

He raises his eyebrows, looking interested at the mention of hooking things up. Flipping switches and pressing buttons is practically a hobby of his by now.

Alyx was more raising her eyebrows, impressed and slightly concerned at Tank's talent over there. But knowing Tank was... Tank, so after that she gave a low whistle, before turning to Gordon with a grin.

"Yeah, I'll be rigging up the electricity today. But first we oughta show you what we've done so far. See if it's up to the Freeman standards or something, right doc?"

Gonna grab a beer now.
