There is a Not!Ray in the bar tonight, bunkered in a corner booth. There are two notable things about him currently. One, he has enough anti-water defensive gear to tip off anyone stalking him that yes he knows you're onto and he's very prepared to deal with you

Ella will probably enter into the category of 'too close' in a couple of seconds.

She's squinting at the book's spine, mouthing the words.

".... 'Highly Effective Pirates'?"

Whuuut?

Ella, the management would like to apologize in advance for this, but unfortunately, Mother has opted for the 'shoot first, ask questions later' method of defense against Assassins.

Thus a squirt-gun is fired in your general direction.

"It's a highly useful guide for mercenaries and bounty hunters!"

Her reaction sounds something like this:

"Flllbbbbpphuuuh?"

As opposed to getting angry, her giggly quotient goes up by about five.

"What are mercenaries? And bounty hunters?" she asks, picking up her feet and discovering, much to her delight, that she's leaving wet footprints.

"People who fight and/or hunt down people for money." Okay, if she were a member of the game, he'd be safe for another 24 hours, and the water pistol is set on the table. "I'm finding it very helpful for a strategy game I'm in."

From behind Mother: "Hello Doctor St---!"

No.

Wait.

"I must be confused."

[yucca_isnt_porn]

"I get that a lo--."

Did the steel door just talk to him??

[smart_house]

"Who are you, since you look so similar?"

SARAH hasn't tried yet to explain the fact that indeed, she is essentially a disembodied voice from an inanimate object.

"I go by the handle 'Mother'." That is probably all the information SARAH's going to get out of him too.

We repeat. PARANOID.
