[harmonygirl]

harmonygirl finishes filing her nails and looks toward Robert and Michelle. They seem to have finished their intense conversation. She goes over and takes Robert aside. Alchemy isn't only about the transformation to gold you know...I have been doing some reading and it appears to fit squarely within the search for the TOE. It is the search for harmony (but not meaning me, she smiles coyly), uniting the spiritual, chemical, physical, and philosophical. It is really interesting, the more I read about it. I have just started researching it."
Robert looks exhausted from his hard work and harmonygirl decides to let the subject drop. "here," she says "let me buy you a beer and maybe a shot of tequila. Let's not take it with lime and salt but with sugar and espresso. Much better and sharper an experience. Trust me." she says, smiling. "in fact," she says motioning to Robert and Dr. Zeroca "why don't we all pull up a table and we can all do shots. Thankfully no one has to drive anywhere!" Michael and Dr. Zeroca move over and the table is crowded but the conversation is lively. The shots arrive and everyone shoots the tequila with sugar and espresso. It is a pretty nice mellow high and no one needs another shot. The beer is a nice chaser,especially the Guinness. harmonygirl sits back and enjoys the mellow vibe, half-listening to the conversations. She feels like she has found a really good party with many interesting fellows. She asks what people thought of the movie "what the [bleep] do we know?". She herself didn't find it very enjoyable (although her date did!) but she figures that is because the science wasn't new to her but it was for her date.
