Perhaps it goes without saying, but I won't be in to work today.

If you're on the subway, you've undoubtedly heard about what's going on.  Don't panic.  Stay close to friends.  If you don't have friends, make some.  If you would rather not know more about what has been going on, please don't read the rest of this post.

Waste.

[absinthe_eyed]

A waste of lives? When murder's involved, that's usually the case.

[byweavinglives]

Yes, of course. What else would it be a waste of?

[absinthe_eyed]

I don't know. There are people here who would come up with something else--wasted opportunities to commit murder themselves, wasted meals...

[byweavinglives]

Wasted meals?

[absinthe_eyed]

How long have you been in the City?

[byweavinglives]

A month.

[absinthe_eyed]

Mm. Too soon to have met any cannibals or unscrupulous vampires, maybe.

[byweavinglives]

Cannibals.

[absinthe_eyed]

The only one I knew about left, but yes.

[byweavinglives]

Disgusting.

[absinthe_eyed]

Absolutely.

[byweavinglives]

Rest assured, this is simply waste.

[absinthe_eyed]

Good. Thank you. [For not being a cannibal? Sure.]

[byweavinglives]

Why are you thanking me?

[absinthe_eyed]

Because you don't eat people.
