Why is a letter trying to kill you?

[combatmagic]

Because it's not a letter, it's my boss.

[mojomolly]

Why is your boss trying to kill you? Seems like a moot point to hire someone just to kill them.

[combatmagic]

I was hired long before he had any say in it and it's the only safe way to get rid of me.

[mojomolly]

Does that make him a bad guy or are you the bad guy?

[combatmagic]

I'm always the good guy, love. Just a regular ole Prince Charming riding up on a white steed.

[mojomolly]

You never know in this place.

[combatmagic]

Well now, you'll just have to take me at my word, won't you?

[mojomolly]

Seems so. But you sound like a trustworthy guy.

[combatmagic]

Hah. Nice of you to say so, love. Bill Gravel.

[mojomolly]

I know. I'm awesome like that. Nice to meet you Bill Gravel, I'm Molly.

[combatmagic]

Pleasure, Molly. And what has a fine young lady like yourself chatting with an old man like myself on New Year's Eve? Nobody offered to buy you a drink yet?

[mojomolly]

Nobody interesting. What about you?

[combatmagic]

I've got myself a lovely date for the evening and plenty to drink, so no complaints here.

[mojomolly]

There seem to be an overabundance of attractive people in this place.

I think the City is biased.

[combatmagic]

I'll not complain. There's a bit of an age bias too, not many old folks like myself wandering around.
