[The rain may be tapering off, but Ray still doesn't really want to be outside if he can help it, so his cigarette his lit at his desk. Ray himself is leaning back in his seat, feet propped up in his desk drawer, blatantly not caring about the rules surrounding smoking in the police station.]Nice of the City to remind those of us from 'er

[Chris walks over to Ray's desk, grinning his face off.] Dean was hit by a cake and Dr. Chase says there was loads of people in the Emergency Room cos of the cake.

[Ray glowers at him, making a rude gesture at Chris with his hand. Although his free hand is going to his wallet, Chris will be pleased to note.] Wanker.

[He's won a bet off Ray and he apparently wasn't being a div this time! This is a very good day for Chris.] I was still right, though!

[Action]

[If Ray ever finds out you cheated, Chris... Ray sticks his fag between his teeth, taking out the two coins he owes Chris and reluctantly handing them over.] I can't bloody believe that... That's one of the stupidest ideas you've come out with an' all.

[Action]

[justcautious]

[Only half-cheated, anyway! He still would have won even if he hadn't and that's part of why he's so happy right now. ...and maybe just a bit worried about Ray finding out.] Only it can't be, yeah? Cos it actually happened.

[Ray shakes his head, offering Chris a drag off his cigarette even if he has just beaten him at a bet.] No, Chris. It's still bloody daft.

[Action]

[justcautious]

[Chris takes him up on his offer and then hands it back over.] Might be a bit... [He shrugs. He's over being hit by cake himself so he doesn't mind it being called daft so much anymore. Even so, changing the subject.] So...people's mum's are all showin' up or somethin'?

[Action]

[makesfolktalky]

[Ray takes it takes back, shrugging himself.] Doubt it. They all jus' look like they're talkin' to theirselves, don't they?

[Action]

[justcautious]

Yeah. An' I haven't heard me own mum so...

[He pauses, to ponder for a moment.]

I dunno if I'd just follow her around even then. If she were just a voice, I mean.

[makesfolktalky]

I'm surprised you 'aven't 'eard nothin'. Always 'ad you down for a right mummies boy. [He is relieved, though. He can feel a lot better knowing that Chris at least isn't about to start acting as much of a prat as everyone else.]

Re: [Action]

[justcautious]

[Chris frowns a bit.] M'not! Anyway, hearin' the voice of me mum'd prob'ly mean she's dead an' a ghost or sommat. Dunno why 'er last wish'd be somethin' like me stepping off a roof or in front of a train. Sort of the theme, that.

[Action]

[makesfolktalky]

Dunno. So's you could be back with 'er, I s'pose. Still seems like you'd 'ave to 'ave a bit of a strange mum to tell you to go toppin' yourself though. Mind you, it'd explain why so many of this lot seem nutty enough to go for it.

[Action]

[justcautious]

S'pose that makes sense. You didn't hear anything, did you, Ray?

[Action]

[makesfolktalky]

Me? Nah. Course not. If I 'ad I'd be standin' on some roof somewhere soundin' like a twat, wouldn't I?

[Action]

[justcautious]

[Chris shrugs.] Thought y'might've just told 'er t'sod off.

[Action]

[makesfolktalky]

[Ray looks like he might actually be a little offended at that.] I wouldn't tell that to me own mum, would I? Even if it weren't really 'er.

If somethin' were usin' my mum's voice, then I'd find out jus' who they were an' give 'em a good 'idin'. Show 'em what they deserve.
