033 [Voice]: Secret admirer?

[machines_talk]

Well, I guess gettin' lingerie's a nice change from havin' it go missin'.

[Laughing] Now I just need somethin' to do with it, an' I'm all set.

I was kinda surprised people had started doing the anonymous-gifts-to-everyone thing again. Kinda died out before, after the stuffed dogs turned out to be jinxed. Then again, with so many of the people who were here then gone...

Anyway, how've you been, Kaylee? Haven't talked to you in a while~

[machines_talk]

Jinxed stuffed... This is gonna be one of those things where I end up glad I don't got no idea what went on then, ain't it?

Been all right. Been...keepin', I guess. How 'bout you?

[nocturncoat]

Probably. Y'know how occasionally something happens that turns people into things and the whole compound goes crazy? It was one of those. Some crazy chick decided turning people into things'd be fun.

'bout the same, I guess. At least since that whole mess with people getting kidnapped is over with.

[machines_talk]

Oh. Y'know, that seems to happen an awful lot.

Yeah... Sorta didn't know anyone as disappeared, but I'm glad they've all been got back. Are they okay, do ya know? I mean, considering...

[nocturncoat]

Yeah. Pretty quiet lately, apart from the mistletoe, really.

'bout as well as you could expect, I guess. One of 'em was a friend of mine - I got chased out of the clinic for hovering.

[machines_talk]

Hope that don't mean people're just gearin' up for somethin' real big.

Thought that was some sorta inalienable right of friendship. The right to hover an' be all bothersome.

[nocturncoat]

... Me too.

Well, we'd all had a long day. And I didn't want to get the doctor angry enough to bite, even if she is younger than me. She's kind of a friend of a friend of a friend.

[machines_talk]

Yeah, makin' the doc lose their temper ain't never a good thing.

Funny, ain't it, how young some of the people here are?

[nocturncoat]

Yeah. Friend of mine from my world was here for a while, she was fourteen. Well, not exactly my world, but a version of it. And River, too... Lot of people, really.
