Not that I know of.

I'm pretty sure it's all the anti-imPort feelings going around but... [A brief, sad smile and a shrug.] What else is new, right?

[stillawitch]

I wasn't aware that there were anti-imPort feelings. How do they know who we are? Aside from those who are.. clearly not from around here.

So I've been told.

[Quick! Change of subject!] How have you been?

[kickinsidekick]

Sleep deprived, but doing okay. Troy's settling in the apartment. We're gonna throw a housewarmimg party at some point.

That was such a smooth change of subject I never even noticed.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Hoursewarming party, huh? Am I invited? Or am I too 'uncool'?

[enigmaestro]

Cruel, isn't it?

[iron_fister]

I've seen crueler.

This? This is just fear.

[enigmaestro]
