Would you choose to live forever if you had the choice?

[katie_witt]

Who in the world would have enough power to grant me immortality? Another question springs to mind: who would be insane enough to want a reporter to live forever? Unless I did something that made me worth living forever, but that's not going to happen. I'm just me. I'll never be immortal

For me? Immortality would be kinda freaky. Also rather ironic, considering my line of work. But big on the freaky.

[katie_witt]

...okay.

Got coffee?

[caffeinebuzz]

I'm a criminalist, you see. I work with death.

You bet. *pours out some coffee* Blue Hawaiian. I pinched some from Greg in DNA. *beat* It's... not actually blue...

[katie_witt]

So not the most uplifting job, then?

*smiles* It's kind of disappointing when these product's names are completely different to what the product actually is.

[caffeinebuzz]

*shrugs* It has its highs and its lows.

I don't know how comfortable I'd be drinking blue coffee. I mean, a blue margarita, maybe, but when it comes to the coffee, you know, that's just plain wrong.

[katie_witt]

Highs being...?

I wouldn't have a problem with it. *grin* Always happy to try new things.

[caffeinebuzz]

I get paid to solve puzzles all day? And I'm doing something good at the same time, giving closure to the victims' families, restore justice... There's something truly satisfying, knowing that.

Sure, but you don't mess with the coffee.

[katie_witt]

Oh, sounds ... umm ... rewarding, I guess. At least more than my job is.

I don't know how you could make it blue though. That would be kind of odd.

[caffeinebuzz]

Yeah? What do you do?

...damn. Now that's going to be bothering me all day.

[katie_witt]

I'm a ... *clears throat* reporter.

*laughs* Me too, probably.

[caffeinebuzz]

Really? I used to want to be a journalist. That was before I became a science geek *grins*

I should set Greg on it. 'Sanders, I need you to find out for me what additive can be used to make coffee blue.'
Ha. Delegating is fun.

[katie_witt]

*brightly* Oh, really? It's not that easy to get into - luckily I had people to put in a good word for me. I couldn't understand the science geeks. Science was ... just so hard.

*laughs* I'm sure he'd appriciate that, too.

[caffeinebuzz]

Yeah, well, I was never into science until my last years of high school. I was taking all English subjects - only took physics because I needed a science and I'd always gotten pretty good marks in it, and somehow it ended up being my favourite class. Weird how these things go, isn't it?

[katie_witt]

It is strange, actually. Physics, huh? I always thought that was the hardest. I just took Biology. That was the most enjoyable.
