009 | Voice - Resolutions are such old hat

[bill_to_sis]

To resolve to do the dishes, scrub the floor, stay on top of the laundry. To vow to find someone to take all that Guinness off my hands, and to get my hair dyed. Maybe Red this time? A darker shade of blue? I should get a manicure as well. It's been a while. A regular old girl's day out is what I need

Why hello again.

[bill_to_sis]

[looks him over. He seems sane this time around.]

Solomon.

[favoritetraitor]

... I never did get your name, you know.

[bill_to_sis]

You sure? I've heard there's a rash of forgetfulness going around. [Ironic, that she's mentioning it, no?]

[Pause]

It's April.

[favoritetraitor]

... that is true.

[Unseen, he writes something down on paper.]

A pleasure, April. I merely wanted to thank you for 'assisting' me the last time I think we talked.

[bill_to_sis]

[Ah, so maybe he did remember]

Of course. You seemed to be in a bit of a pinch. Did you find your way home?

[favoritetraitor]

Why yes. It seems the young lady that was coming to aid me is someone I live with...

Have you met Marishka? She's rather delightful...

[bill_to_sis]

[Ah, so it did all work out.]

Can't say I have. Didn't think you were the type for roommates. [Then again, April drowned out the sound of the ticking clock by staying out in public spaces. Perhaps Solomon was more of a private man...]

[favoritetraitor]

Oh, she isn't... well, I think she hasn't been...

It's complicated.
