119 Near Disasters

This is a welcome change. My own apartment, with my own tea, and tofu and tossed salad on the menu instead of gelatin and microwaved scrambled eggs

I'm glad you were able to return home, Niko. The hospital can be such an abyssmally depressing place.

[cal_sitter]

Less so when you spend most of your time there sleeping.

[dirgingcerberus]

I'm sure.

[cal_sitter]

I imagine I'll be restless the leave the apartment within a day or two.

[dirgingcerberus]

Surely you will.
Oh, I believe I'm interested in the position at Lux. It could be entertaining.

[cal_sitter]

Glad to hear it. There are a few general rules, mostly concerning the use of force, as in only what's necessary, and intervening before more than a strong nudge out the door is required.

[dirgingcerberus]

I'm certain I can handle that. I've never used unnecessary force.

[cal_sitter]

Good.

[dirgingcerberus]

So, when do I start, Boss?

Why do I try to sound like my friends?

[cal_sitter]

You can start next week if you like. I'll let the others know.

[dirgingcerberus]

That will be fine.

[cal_sitter]

Excellent. Oh, and Vincent? You don't need to call me "Boss".

[dirgingcerberus]

Yes, sir.

[cal_sitter]

Or "sir". It's just a bar, and I'm just the manager.

[dirgingcerberus]

And I'm most likely your senior by many years.

I fail at jokes, most of the time.

[cal_sitter]

No, I'm just used to dealing with a trickster who's been alive since long before history began.
