[Ray is chilling out at the bar like he always does, but things are slightly amiss. Mainly the fact Ray's hand is on fire, and he seems to be regarding it only with some mild curiosity.]

...the hell?

[This certainly is new. It's not really hurting, so he slowly waves his hand in front of him. Nope. Stays on fire. He's also pretty sure he's not so drunk that he's hallucinating his hand on fire.]

[gotitwrong]

Yeah, I know, Guv, just usually it don't affect me.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Get used to it.

[gotitwrong]

Uh, yes, guv. Sorry.

[His hand immediately goes out. Ray doesn't care and immediately pulls his fags from his pocket now that his hand is no longer on fire.]

[awkward sileeeeence, though Gene does offer to light Ray's cig. seriously, hand on fire. that's messed up]

This isn't going to have me filling out paperwork for sick leave, is it? I can't afford you loafing at home with a case of fiery bloody hand.

[gotitwrong]

[Ray takes the light, and he gives Gene a bit of a smirk.]

Like hell I'd go on sick leave. You know me, guv.

[smirks back]

Damn straight you won't. Can't have one of me best off and about.

[gotitwrong]

Mean, without me, you'd be stuck with Tyler and Chris. Between the two of 'em, not much'll get done.

I'd probably end it all in the privy out of desperation.

[gotitwrong]

[Ray chuckles.]

I'll just keep an eye on things, Guv. Wouldn't wanna burn down CID 'cause I set sommat on fire.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Dock it from your pay if you did, Raymondo. [still, keeps an eye on him because seriously, hand on fire] Just try and keep it under wraps, understand?

[gotitwrong]

[Ray nods firmly.]

I'll do me best. See if I can figure out if anythin' sets it off; make things easier that way.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Can't imagine it'd be good to have that thing go off when you're off the clock with some bird.

[gotitwrong]

[Ray laughs a bit.]

Aye, don't think it would be. Probably try to have you arrest me for, I don't know, grievous assault. [Ray pauses to think about that.] Shit, don't even know what I'd consider it as.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

A quick stop to a good night, that's what.

[gotitwrong]

[He nods.]

Figure Tina'd probably find it interestin' anyway. Long as it weren't her I was settin' on fire. Bet she'd think I were secretly into magic tricks or some shit.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Make a couple pounds on the side, maybe.

[gotitwrong]

Still, not my bag. But if she ever finds out... 's what I'll go with.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Good idea.
