Am I returned to the Rue Royale? Or somewhere else?

...The Barge?

Am I here again at last? How long have my eyes been closed?

Louis?

Oh hello! And aren’t you tiny, mon Dieu! Im Nicki

[killyourownkind]

Bonjour, Nicki.

[beyondxtime]

Oh you know Français! There just arnt enough of us here, you know. Quite a few Brits, it seems. And who might you be?

[killyourownkind]

My name is Claudia.

[beyondxtime]

Claudia? That’s lovely, sounds very familiar.

[It takes him a bit before he re-reads her post]

Louis? Who’s...that?

[Naaw. It’s a huge universe, its probably just a major coincidence!]

[killyourownkind]

He is my companion. You have not seen him either?

[beyondxtime]

I...No. I haven’t, but if I do I'll certainly tell him you're looking for him.

But could I ask, I have a friend, he’s blonde, beautiful, and has a personality that makes you seriously contemplate hurting him. You..wouldn’t know anyone like that, right?

[killyourownkind]

Are you asking me how many blondes there are in the world, Monsieur? I could name thousands.

[beyondxtime]

Oh not just blonde. Blondes are lovely, I’m quite partial to them. I just know one that had friends of your name, and Louis. Its most likely a coincidence, I’m sure.

[killyourownkind]

I don't know.

[beyondxtime]

Why do people say 'cut to the chase'? What chase? And why are they cutting to it? Is there some type of shortcut to the said chase? Do you have the Dark Gift?

[killyourownkind]

I do.

[beyondxtime]

...Well! This has been lovely, you’re quite nice. I have to go attempt to die now, however. Au Revoir!

[killyourownkind]

Why should you do something like that?

...Wait!

[beyondxtime]

I’m back. Didn’t work out, Tony took the power supply from my juicer.

In retrospect, I can see his motivations.

[killyourownkind]

I don't understand.
