Chapter 95.

Getting blood out of white Oxford shirts... as if this isn't the first time. If it weren't for the concern of having absolutely nothing to wear ...

Hm.

I hope everyone's recovered from yesterday's curse?

[ooc; The wound that helped kill him crippled him from the computer yesterday. He did die, but he's as alive as City!dead can be and grumbling

How did you bloody a shirt, Nathaniel?

...The weather seems radically different from yesterday's.

((OOC: He doesn't realize he's been gone--and the, ah, last curse he recalls? Was genderbending back in March. XD))

[natty_boy]

Ptolemy?

What is going on today...?

[i_am_ptolemy]

...Yes?

Is there another curse today? It seems significantly warmer out; I am finding that I far prefer this weather to yesterday's.

[natty_boy]

It's been like this for a while, sir. It's June.

[i_am_ptolemy]

...June? But that cannot be.

If it is...this poses some serious questions.

[natty_boy]

It is. You departed the City in late March.

[i_am_ptolemy]

And yet, I do not recall departing, nor any passage of time in between.

...I may have left, but as far as I can tell, I did not go anywhere.

[natty_boy]

I have often wondered... Where it is we go if we leave the City and cannot return home. I guess there's no definite answer, then.

But let's not dwell on that.

[i_am_ptolemy]

I previously would have theorized that we would proceed on to the afterlife as promised in life, but now I am not so sure.

...But that is a subject worth more consideration than I believe I have time for. I am glad to see you again, Nathaniel.

[natty_boy]

Likewise, sir. I have kept your apartment relatively clean since you three left, just in case you needed it again.

But would you like to come to mine? I believe a long-overdue cup of tea is in order.

[i_am_ptolemy]

I would like that.

In any case, if I had noticed the passing of time, I believe I would have missed the opportunity to drink tea.

[natty_boy]

Well, we can't have that. As an Englishman, I'm appalled.

Where are you, sir? I'll fetch you.

[i_am_ptolemy]

It is only too bad that Kitty is not also here.

I am in the Cafe Juliet.

[natty_boy]

... Yes. It is.

I'll be there in a moment, then.

[ooc; omg spam? :O]

[i_am_ptolemy]

I will not go anywhere.

((OOC: :DDD))

Action!

[natty_boy]

[Honestly? It's been a while since Nathaniel has left his apartment for anything other than errands. But the sun does feel good and he's feeling better than he has in months - seeing an old friend will do that to your demeanor.

Finally, he reaches the Cafe and ducks inside, scanning the tables.]
