I quit the blue pills before the Russians got me.

[a beat. ]

But sure, I’ll take a vicodin when my ass starts hurting.

let's just slap that cw for casual prescription drug misuse back on

[unorthodoc]

Oh, if only.

[ Said with longing. He'd give both non-frostbitten nuts for some Vicodin. ]

We're riding the black dragon here. Any history of respiratory problems, heart issues, trouble taking high strength opiates and surviving the process?

Are you cooking this shit up yourself?

[unorthodoc]

Please. If I was, I would be charging at least 3 g's an ounce.

The clinic gets laudanum from Her Royal Spookiness. They use it for everything. Gout, broken bones, toothache. In my case, so I can walk. In your case, so you can sit down without wanting to scream. Thank god for a world before the Uniform Controlled Substances Act.

Just make sure to get plenty of soluble fiber and maybe find someone to watch you while you sleep.

Don't tell me you're going to go all Just Say No on my ass.

I’m not a hypocrite, but go easy on that shit.

[unorthodoc]

You are a hypocrite, and it's fine.

Do you want some or not?

[yes, god, yes -]

Nah. I'm good.

[unorthodoc]

[ Time to move to stage two: make Jim's back worse. ]

Fine. But don't bitch to me about it later. Those boarding house beds are pretty uncomfortable.

[verbol]

Geez, you sound exactly like my old doc from home.

[unorthodoc]

For a little while there I think I was your old doctor from home.

[verbol]

Doctor, coroner, drug dealer. Quite the resume there.

The monster was real. Probably the realest thing in that place.

[unorthodoc]

[ Of course it was. Nobody in this town comes from a normal place. House can no longer convince himself that monsters aren't real. ]

Did you find out what it was?

[verbol]

The kids back home called it a Demogorgon, but that's just a name from this game they play. So honestly? Not really.

[you're welcome danny]

It's from some other world under our own. Real hellscape. Looks like Hawkins if the apocalypse ran through it twice. Could have been human once, maybe. None of the scientists I talked to had a solid answer.

[unorthodoc]

That was why you were in the gulag? Because you found it?

[verbol]

No. That's a longer story.

[unorthodoc]

Tell it over cards.

[verbol]

Oh, absolutely. Sure the guys would love to hear about the Russian invasion.

[unorthodoc]

The Russian invasion of.. Indiana? Were they trying to turn the cows into Bolsheviks?

[verbol]

I’ll tell you that over cards, too.
