Well. I certainly didn't expect to see this place ever again. So who'd be willing to give me an update on what I've missed?

I don't suppose anyone knows what happened to my apartment and my stuff? Or do I just get to start anew all over again here?

Oh.

There's a voice I haven't heard in a while.

Another one of your citizens was kind enough to take me on a vacation out of this universe. It's funny. I thought I hated it here, but leaving it felt like a stab to the chest.

[nyc_detective]

Well, wasn't that generous of them?

I suspect that this City has a way of knowing its own.

[bestmachine]

Is that how you see it, then.

That, my dear Brother, was me being a bit sarcastic. I've been a bit behind the times myself. So, have you been keeping yourself busy since your return?

voice;

[bestmachine]

[A short, humorless laugh.]

Wouldn't you like to know. No, I've been just fine, thank you. Then again, I haven't been here very long, yet. That'll inevitably change.

Voice;

[nyc_detective]

Why, yes, I would like to know. How long have you been back?

Voice;

[bestmachine]

Scroll through the Network. This isn't an interrogation.

Voice;

[nyc_detective]

Charming as ever, I see.

Voice;

[bestmachine]

Oh, I'm sorry, were you trying to be my friend? I thought you were looking forward to locking me up forever and ever.

Voice;

[nyc_detective]

Only for the crimes you've committed!

Voice;

[bestmachine]

How thoughtful. You'll forgive me if I don't send a welcoming fruit basket.

Voice;

[nyc_detective]

I'm wounded, Cavil. You cut me to the quick.
