I preferred last Halloween, and I look forward to returning to the CES with Renate and not having to worry about cleaning ash out of my suits. I have the strong impression that more was going on than the garden variety holiday silliness, and I feel compelled to thank everyone involved in getting this ship back to normal -- not only the Admiral but

He did what?

Private

[impure_tale]

During that Halloween fiasco. He didn't actually manage to kill me. Just inconvenience me severely.

Private

[inhumandog]

Hm. Miss me yet, Marquis?

Private

[impure_tale]

Daily, my treasure.

Though I must say this whole incident has reminded me that I sort of missed my little public lectures. Damn your good behavior.

Private

[inhumandog]

I could act out again, just to remind you of what you've missed. But I might have to face consequences as a warden that way.

Private

[impure_tale]

I would not, if I were you. I think you would hate it if your own Inmate began to follow your example.

Private

[inhumandog]

It might be good for him. He'd jump at the chance to use it to crucify me and maybe then he could see that those things are wrong.

Private

[impure_tale]

You should not act in a way that will damage what is already the slow process of gaining your Inmate's trust. That might be your intention, but he's not going to see it that way. It's too easy to read your actions with a petty gaze right now.

Private

[inhumandog]

Certainly you don't intend to take away all sources of my amusement, do you?

Private

[impure_tale]

Certainly not. I have yet to insinuate myself into your relationship with Rex again, haven't I?

Private

[inhumandog]

Are you planning on it?

Private

[impure_tale]

I am still working on that guidebook...

Private

[inhumandog]

It's entirely unnecessary.

Private

[impure_tale]

You were about to sever your own hands as foreplay. I think it's necessary.

Private

[inhumandog]

That was his idea.

But we know better than that now.
