Just before noon. [Sun at just the right angle the turn the fog surrounding the hills into a sea of gold. He'd watched it from a little side room on the second story of a rickety old house.]

[stupidbigmouth]

What's special about that time?

[sociomonere]

[He looks at him uncertainly and considers giving him a fuck off, but just answers, mouthing around a cigarette,]

Day hasn't started to end yet.

[stupidbigmouth]

Rather a pessimistic view of the day, don't you think?

[sociomonere]

Probably, but it's true.

[stupidbigmouth]

Technically, the day starts to end as soon as it begins.

[sociomonere]

[He snorts.]

Thanks.

[stupidbigmouth]

[ alecks smiles a little, almost smirking but not quite. ] You're quite welcome.

[sociomonere]

Being a smart ass your day job?

[stupidbigmouth]

Day, night and just before noon job, actually.

[sociomonere]

Bet it doesn't pay well.

[stupidbigmouth]

Sadly my services aren't that greatly appreciated, but one mustn't let simple adversity interfere as such.

[sociomonere]

[He gives a little laugh.]

Yeah, real fucking brave.

[stupidbigmouth]

I do like to think I have a certain sense of courageousness about my person.

[ after a short pause he smiles a little more broadly and holds out his hand; whether this is a slightly moronic move or not, he doesn't know, but it's worth a shot. ] Alecks West.

[sociomonere]

[He eyes that hand, but he takes it after a moment, even if his grip isn't particularly firm.]

Tallendi Morrison, I'm honored to meet such a courageous dude.

[stupidbigmouth]

A pleasure to meet you too. [ his voice and expression are perhaps a little annoyingly friendly, almost. ] So, how about you then? Have you a job that isn't contemplating the matter of time in the most depressing ways?
