What the bloody hell are they--[Stop.

HEAVY SIGH.]

I'm starting to get very tired of this.

[smokingrockstar]

[ Rests an arm on his shoulder, leaning on him. ]

Get used to it, Jackie, seriously.

[creepinginmy]

[He wonders why he's even surprised. He shrugs her arm off, adjusting his jacket.]

You realize it's Jack, don't you.

[smokingrockstar]

[ #KANYE SHRUG ]

So, what's up?

[creepinginmy]

Currently lost in a museum. Someone forgot to turn off all the lights, looks like.

How about you?

[smokingrockstar]

As anyone ever tell you you're as moody as a pregnant woman?

[creepinginmy]

[LMFAO. WHAT. Even. That caught him by surprise.]

No, this would be a first.

[smokingrockstar]

You must not know that many people, then. [ Smug grin. ]

[creepinginmy]

[He'd be offended if it weren't so pathetically true.]

And here I thought I had you fooled.

[smokingrockstar]

[ She laughs, shakes her head. ] Nah.

[ Then stares at the message. ]

At least this isn't a labyrinth, huh?

[creepinginmy]

[There's a short pause spent observing her idly.]

Are you always this optimistic?

[smokingrockstar]

Not really. [ She seems to be interested in the message though. ]

[creepinginmy]

[Jack is working hard to ignore the message, because it might as well been addressed to him in a letter. Cerbos is unusually quiet.]

... It's been following me everywhere I go. [He sounds reluctant to reveal that bit of information.]

[smokingrockstar]

Me too. [ She shrugs, doesn't seem too disturbed by it. ] Does it speak to you? The whole-- [ Gestures at it. ] --message?

[creepinginmy]

Not literally, otherwise I'd have something else to worry about.

[I could read it to ya, then.]

[Like you'd know how to read, Jack thinks. It's a good thing neither Cerbos nor Maude can hear that.]

But I suppose whoever made this message is seeking someone who will respond to it, yes. [Even if that still doesn't answer her question.] Or was, seeking.

[smokingrockstar]

Or maybe it's just some psycho trying to get us distracted and then--WHAM! [ Stab stabbity motions. ]
