Seifer's gone...? That's too bad.

Voice;

[beseriousannie]

It is a sad loss, but that is expected to happen to anyone at any time here.

Voice;

[investigative]

I guess this is recent, too, huh? It would figure, just when those stupid scientists send me back... [grumblegrumble. He was one of the few people she actually really liked, too.]

Voice;

[beseriousannie]

You never know, he may return. Being sent away isn't a grantee he won't be gathered up again. Though... the chance may be slim.

Voice;

[investigative]

I'd say not slim enough... ... Scientifically speaking.

Voice;

[beseriousannie]

You may just have bad luck.

Voice;

[investigative]

There's no such thing.

Voice;

[beseriousannie]

No such thing?

Voice;

[investigative]

As bad luck.

Voice;

[beseriousannie]

I don't think I really get it, what else would you call and unfortunate incident?

Voice;

[investigative]

An unfortunate accident.

[Please forgive her, she's particularly cranky today, if you haven't noticed.]

Voice;

[beseriousannie]

And if it keeps happening? Wouldn't that just simply be bad luck? It's a description of an occurrence, I don't see how that's incorrect.

Voice;

[investigative]

A series of unfortunate accidents.

Voice;

[beseriousannie]

Why do you dislike the term bad luck so much?

Voice;

[investigative]

It's just, it's not really very scientific, is it?

Voice;

[beseriousannie]

Concepts and the language used to convey them don't have to be scientific.
