[ The audio clicks on to silence. When someone finally speaks, he sounds young. Mid-teens. Maybe a little nervous, but keeping it together. ]Aimery le Gode and Boyd Crowder are gone. It's... really likely they went home, but if you've seen 'em, lemme know. Okay? For now I'll be taking over management. Um, if you've got any questions 'bout the

[ voice; I will eventually remember to put this ]

[lostandfinder]

They left? [Not that he knows who Boyd is, but he just met Aimery the other day. And Sefton totally in charge seems kind of weird.] Hey, where are you, anyway?

[ voice; suuure you will ]

[polarisation]

Looks like. [ He pauses, debating telling Chivy of his current location. ] Why?

[ voice; hey, it's possible ]

[lostandfinder]

Haven't seen you lately? You're not at your room. [Unless he got the number wrong, but he's pretty sure he didn't.]

[ voice ; possible, but what about likely? ]

[polarisation]

I've... been busy. [ Quiet sigh. ] 'm upstairs.

[ voice; ... okay, maybe you have a point ]

[lostandfinder]

With what? [Indecisionnn... eh, why not?] You mind company?

[ voice ; uh-huh ♥ ]

[polarisation]

What d'you think? [ Beat. ] Whatever.

[ voice; at least I'm loveable? ]

[lostandfinder]

I dunno. That's why I asked. [Hey, it's not a no.] Where upstairs?

[ voice ; there is that, yes ]

[polarisation]

You can't guess? [ He is rolling his eyes so hard right now. ] Four-oh-one.

[ voice; ...crap, that's spelled 'lovable' ]

[lostandfinder]

[Why, Sefton, you do want him to show up. You have the time it takes him to get up two flights of stairs to jump out the window, if you change your mind.]

Why do you like questions so much?

[ voice ; shh, no one would have noticed ]

[polarisation]

[ It's either company or freaking out from sudden responsibility and nerves. Sefton would rather not have a breakdown right now. ]

Huh?

[ voice; I would have ): ]

[lostandfinder]

[Chivy will gladly serve as a breakdown prevention mechanism.]

You ask them all the time.

[ voice ; too bad you can't edit it ): ]

[polarisation]

[ By pestering the prickly? ]

So?

[ voice; yeah. oh well. ]

[lostandfinder]

[It's for a good cause!]

So usually people do stuff over and over because they like to do it.

[ voice ; we know what you meant! ]

[polarisation]

[ Indeed! Now let's hope the prickly appreciates it. ]

Or just 'cause.

[ voice; let's hope ]

[lostandfinder]

[Eh, it's prickly. He has variable amounts of appreciation.]

Right. You don't do things you like doing.

[ voice ; ♥ ]

[polarisation]

[ And all amounts are impossible to judge, considering he never shows it.

Sefton just scoffs. ]
