another one bites the dust

Guillermo Mendonza. Half Chilean. 42 yo. Convicted of a crime he didn't commit. Betrayed by a friend, wronged by the justice system and currently seeking revenge.

thaliahernandez​:

Mr. Williams. I barely recognize you. Thank you. 

I don’t about how he felt, but I know that you’re handsome as well. And I intent to not be reconized tonight, so, do you think that be blonde helps?

Good. If you barely recognize me then probably no one from my past will. It’s the best I can hope for. 

Thank you, Thalia. I intend to make an impression... Well, I could recognize those big hazel eyes anywhere. But I guess it’s enough to fool most people.

[guillermomendonza]

joankerrigan​:

That’s just playbook Manhattan millionaire, I’m afraid. But alright, I hope I can make my case.

Looks like you got yourself the best of everything, Mr. Williams.

I’ll have to plead guilty for that one. Alright, start with your opening arguments, Mrs. Kerrigan. You’re here all by yourself having drinks with a stranger... seems like you’ll need a good alibi.

I sure try my best. 

[guillermomendonza]

joankerrigan​:

You’re right, I think the word you’re looking for is pretentious, or perhaps drunk. But you strike me as a gentleman, so you’re probably not going to say it to my face. I appreciate that.

My sentence, is it? Alright, then. But I’m afraid we’ll have to get you started on those drinks. I hope they help on your judgment… or mine, either way.

Oh, no! You’be pretentious if you’d threw an old Hollywood themed party and harassed beautiful guests with wordplay. No one should ever be condemned for enjoying a fine drink. But then again, I’m holding my sentence until the end of the night.

I’m sure they will. I got my hands on the finest wine. Also, some great brandy. And you already savored the gin...

[guillermomendonza]

joankerrigan​:

Yet again you’re being very flattering, but I’m afraid I’m actually much more boring than that. 

Aside from the outfit, I don’t think I have that much of Dorothy in me. But for the night, I can at least pretend.

You definitely don’t strike me as the boring kind. Any woman who quotes James Bond at a stranger is anything but boring. 

Well, I guess I’ll have to find out. By the end of the night I let you know my sentence. 

[guillermomendonza]

joankerrigan​:

Then I guess we’ll never know.

Playing the long game, aren’t you? Well, when you ask so nicely, how can I refuse? Although… I hope my outfit doesn’t serve me well and I end up being accused of swaying a good man off his path, like Dandrige’s Carmen Jones. 

So let’s just keep the mystery alive. 

Well, that’s one way to put it. Don’t worry... unless there’s another reason why someone would accuse you of such thing. I have a feeling you do have the power to sway anyone off their path.

@thaliahernandez​

Thalia, you look... absolutely breathtaking, my dear.

That’s how JFK must have felt, I’m sure. 

[guillermomendonza]

joankerrigan​:

I’m afraid I don’t have a good history with surprises. Once bitten, twice shy. Probably not your case.

Oh, it’s a pity, you channeled him nicely. Are you too drunk and intending to get drunker before the evening’s over? 

Actually... you’d be surprised. But then again, you rather not. Which puts us in a weird position. 

Oh, definitely. It may be the real reason behind my wardrobe choice just so I can justify it by quoting Rhett at the end of the night. But only if you’d be kind enough to drink with me.

[guillermomendonza]

joankerrigan​:

I have a feeling you might have a thing or two up your sleeve to keep them entertained for a few more evenings, but if you rather have it that way… We’ll just have to play along, won’t we?

I’m sure you’ll have a chance to meet sometime. Oh, you’re very flattering, but yes, it is a homage to her. You look quite appropriate in your… Clark Gable tuxedo. I think you nailed the dramatic flair quite right. I just hope you’re not gone with the wind.

You’re right, I might have something planned. But then again, I won’t ruin the surprise just yet. Not a fan of surprises, I assume? 

Why, thank you. You may be the first one to recognize my efforts channeling Rhett Butler. Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.

[guillermomendonza]

joankerrigan​:

The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Williams. I wish I could say the same about you, but I’m afraid all I know is that you are very generous and you know how to make an entrance.

Unfortunately, my husband couldn’t make it tonight. He’s on a business trip at the moment. But he sends his apologies. I’m afraid I’ll have to bear the family name this time.

Well, I think that’s really all that is to know. I’d rather keep everyone guessing. How else am I supposed to keep Manhattan’s elite entertained in such uneventful evening? 

Oh, it’s a shame. I was really looking forward to meet him. But I’m glad you made it. You’re a vision on your... Dorothy Dandridge homage, I suppose?

[guillermomendonza]

joankerrigan​:

Oh, it’s the way Mr. Bond would’ve liked it: shaken, not stirred. A very fine drink indeed. If you want to, you should, specially as I understand you’re paying for it. 

Kerrigan, Joan Kerrigan. I’m afraid my name doesn’t sound as good as 007′s, so just Joan does it. And I’m doing the best I can, Mr. Williams - is that right?

Well, after that I surely will. Any drink that might get one quoting Ian Fleming is a fine drink in my book.

Of course, Mrs. Kerrigan! It’s a pleasure to finally meet you. Heard great things about you and your work. Your husband couldn’t make it or is he walking around? 

[guillermomendonza]

Mr. Williams at the Old Hollywood Charity Gala paying a homage to Clark Gable. 

[guillermomendonza]

@joankerrigan​

How’s your drink? You seem so focused on that glass that I’m considering getting one of those for me.

Enjoying the evening, Mrs...? 

[guillermomendonza]

thaliahernandez​:

Não, ninguém deveria.

Não sinta. O que passou, passou. 

Mas como exatamente esse evento beneficente vai ajudá-lo? 

I need to... insert myself into their lives again. I need to gain their trust. I’m gonna play them like a fiddle. They won’t see it coming.

[guillermomendonza]

thaliahernandez​:

Depois de um tempo, você se acostuma com as memórias. 

Fiz o que foi preciso para sobreviver e não ter… consequências maiores. Uma máscara, fingindo ser alguém que eu não era, tendo de me lembrar na calada da noite quem eu realmente era e que talvez um dia eu conseguisse sair daquele pesadelo. Graças à você, foi finalmente possível.

Inclusive pessoas do seu passado?

Ninguém deveria ter que se acostumar com algo assim. Eu sinto muito que isso tenha acontecido com você.

But we’ll have our revenge, Thalia. You have my word. 

Principalmente as pessoas do meu passado.

[guillermomendonza]

thaliahernandez​:

Algumas vezes, sempre a trabalho.

Tudo deve estar completamente diferente agora para você. Qual é a primeira coisa que deseja fazer na cidade?

Não deve ter boas memórias então, eu suponho. Yeah, it’s weird to think it used to be my home... So many years ago... The citys changed, I’ve changed. It’ll be like my first time.

Uma festa... Ou melhor, um evento beneficente. Quero convidar todos os nomes da elite de Manhattan e nada melhor do que um evento beneficiente para eles se autocongratularem por estar fazendo caridade.

[guillermomendonza]

@thaliahernandez​

Você já esteve em Nova York antes, Thalia?

Parece que a última vez que eu estive aqui foi em outra vida...
