Callsign "Bar"

You don't run from your past, you walk with it

[ask-cnel-lawrence]

Good day, good evening, and good night. This is Coronel Lawrence, here because my son has requested me to take part in an activity that takes my mind off things.

Here is some information you need to know:

— Born in Argentina.

— 60s

— Single father.

— Retired, but still got sharp teeth.

— Call me Bar. 's a funny story.

— He/him. Bisexual.

[ask-cnel-lawrence]

Call your kid.

I tried. And he ain't picking up. I knew I shouldn't have let him go out, fuck's sake. But now he got him.

Fuck it, someone kill that bastard. God only knows I will.

[ask-cnel-lawrence]

Huh. So you’re Bar, right? Hudson’s mentioned you in passing. Never thought I’d see you in a place like this ha— anyways. I’m Clayton

Who else if not me.

Clayton, aye? Rings a Bell for sure. Definitely does. Have we met before?

Regardless, yes. This is Coronel Lawrence at your service. What can I do for you, kid?

[ask-hudsons-protege]

Ah. Nothin’ really— I was just. Curious I suppose?

With you being ducklings dad ‘n all…

Don’t believe we’ve properly met though.

[ask-cnel-lawrence]

Now we've properly met. Glad to finally get a word from you. I've heard a ity bit 'bout you. Hope to get more of that soon, kid.

'm always here for ya.

[ask-cnel-lawrence]

I hope Esteban is doing okay now... May I ask why is it that you two are so... Different? Y'know, one of you definitely being a lot more bubbly than the other.

(They're doing fine, they'll be okay.)

You're askin me? Because we've had different experiences, that's why. I always made sure Esteban had a better world than I did, reason number one. Reason number two?

Well, his mother pushed that onto him. I only taught him how to throw a punch and how to make a fucking good pudding. We both learned something good from her.

Reason number three is that he was probably born like that. All 'sugar, spice, and everthing' type.

Dont let that fool ya, he's a menace when he wants to be. Damn little shit knows how to get away with stuff, too.

[ask-cnel-lawrence]

@ask-duckling-n-tooth is fine. 'll be staying at their home until they can get back on their feet, so no need to worry. Details are irrelevant.

No sign of Lauren, still. Who the hell cares, anyway? 'tis is about Esteban.

I have been far too patient. I take back what I have said. Go for his throat.

[ask-cnel-lawrence]

I know it can be tempting, but I will repeat this TWICE.

Do. Not. Engage. With him.

He wants that, he wants to prove himself. Don't let him. Focus your anger on protecting who we should be worrying about. That being said, I trust what I taught him. He's 22, I know he'll be fine in a fight. I taught him to take my gun with him.

You can only run so far, Medusa.

[ask-cnel-lawrence]

Happy pride month. Even an old folk like myself celebrates to accompany my kid.

[ask-jhudson]

Very much curious on why my son likes you so much. Trying to also get a son for yourself, Jason? I'm afraid he already has a father, but I'll let it slide because he (inexplicably) genuinely seems to like you.

-@ask-cnel-lawrence

Heh, never thought about getting a son, Lawrence. I've always wanted daughters to begin with.

Your son's doing great, good kid, all I did was show him around a bit and explain some shit. Guess the fella thinks I'm not a fucked up close to retirement old man.

[ask-cnel-lawrence]

I know I can take your word for it. Still, I'm sort jealous of that bond you got, and I mean that positively. I'm not sure what you did, but if he thinks you're not ready to retire, maybe you aren't.

[ask-jhudson]

Oh please don't start this...I'm fucking done with this job. All I wanna do is retire and leave that job to the younger ones. They're gonna be fine. Duckling is gonna be fine. They're a great kid, trying their best to be better. Just listen to them once, sit down together and have an honest talk.

That's all they need, comfort and a father that's right there with them.

[ask-cnel-lawrence]

Hah. Never thought I'd see you give a heartfelt advice. Guess retirement has gave you a heart, after all.

But you're right, I suppose.

[ask-hpark]

Hey Helen, I've seen you've spat some things about my kid. I don't care about Tooth, he can fend for himself, but let's leave Esteban out of your bullshit with someone else, aight? They're far too forgiving to tell you anything about this, but I am not. So direct your punches where they belong, got it? No one wants unnecessary problems, specially not now.

@ask-cnel-lawrence

My quarrel is not with Esteban, it is with that dog who calls himself their friend. That is final.

[ask-cnel-lawrence]

"Pests like your duck." You said, if I remember correctly. Don't test my patience, Helen, and be careful with what you call my son. This is my one and final warning, and it's as kind as I can be for the moment.

[ask-hpark]

I'll be looking forward to when we next speak.

[ask-cnel-lawrence]

I have all the time in the world for a chat. I'll be there when you need me
