[Tuesdays are Justin's day off. He has decided to spend this particular Tuesday near the fountain. It's not the sort of place he favors--too many people, too much noise--but there is a perfectly good reason to brave the crowds today.

He's hunched over a book, glancing up occasionally to see if there are any familiar faces.]

...Why would you like this curse?

[absinthe_eyed]

There's someone I'd like to see.

[der_freischuetz]

They don't appear just because you wish for them, Mister Pendleton.

[absinthe_eyed]

I know. I just don't want to miss them if they come.

[der_freischuetz]

How very sweet!

[absinthe_eyed]

Practical.

[der_freischuetz]

Wishful, you mean.

[absinthe_eyed]

Not really. One of them always comes.

[der_freischuetz]

A rendezvous, then!

[absinthe_eyed]

If you want to call it that. I think of it as an inevitable encounter.

Do you wait for anyone?

[der_freischuetz]

Inevitable encounter? Very ominous.

The City rarely gifts me with worthwhile visitors from home. Though I believe I'm oh so lucky this time, yes.

[absinthe_eyed]

I wouldn't describe it that way.

Are you? Who do you want to see?

[der_freischuetz]

No? Why make it such a mystery, I wonder.

Wouldn't a Millennium reunion be simply perfect?

[absinthe_eyed]

It's not a mystery. I'm just haunted.

...Not if you can plan a mass murder in a day or two, no.

[der_freischuetz]

...haunted. Really.

As if you need planning. Though it gives it more elegance, of course!

[absinthe_eyed]

Yes. Fortunately, it's only a literal haunting four or so days a year.

What's your motivation for murder?
