I don't know about the rest of you, but you couldn't pay me to come within fifty feet of that building out there...

[Head of Human Resources]

It appears our former employer is ... well. Former. Any thoughts or ideas?

[... Oh hey.]

I thought that looked new.

[balancethebooks]

[ohai thar]

Everyone that's gone in hasn't come out yet ... it's been a while. I'm not about to try my luck.

[gottaknockhard]

Can't say I blame you. ... How many people went in?

[balancethebooks]

I don't know, I lost count. ... Enough.

Heard you were involved in that mess that went down, before. Come out of it alright?

[gottaknockhard]

I guess we can always catch them when they're running out.

... [Slight hesitance. Still hard to wrap his head around a few weeks later.] More or less. Did you?

[balancethebooks]

Set up one of those turnstiles, like at amusement parks? [there's a thin chuckle, at that thought]

I was lucky enough to find a place to ride it all out. Took a few of them down, getting there, but mostly, I'm fine. Not to say I won't hear some of those sounds in my dreams for at least another month, though.

[gottaknockhard]

Is that how those work? [he'd do it too, just to see if people used it]

As long as they stay there.

[balancethebooks]

Some of them, I think, yeah.

[ha] So, what, you want me to keep having nightmares, is that it?

[gottaknockhard]

Depends on my choices.

[balancethebooks]

Good point. I guess I could take one for the team.

[gottaknockhard]

I knew there was something I liked about you.

[balancethebooks]

Ha ha.
