[Here it is, another Forge communication, one dropped from a pocket and clicked on as soon as it connects with the ground. Zack doesn’t notice; his eyes are on the window and the sounds coming from outside, worried, wary. There’s a shadow next to him, and it’s only after the camera is unwittingly kicked that the darkness gains definition, gains

[He thinks to check his forge. And stares. And stares.]

Will there be some type of legal proceedings after this?

[i_love_squats]

[Uh oh.]

Only if you kill me? Will an "oops?" help at all?

[fingersloophole]

Oh Zack. If I were going to kill you, they'd never be able to trace it to me. [He's smiling that creepy smile. Let Zack figure out if he's serious.]

I apologize if it caused any...friction.

[i_love_squats]

... [Gulp.] You do realize how creepy you sound when you say stuff like that, right?

What're you talking about? I kissed you, remember?

[fingersloophole]

You do realize what I've done for a living? Rufus doesn't pay Turks to read him a bedtime story and make him a cup of cocoa anymore.

I do remember. But I didn't push you away or smack you or protest you keep your fiendish hands off my virtue.

[i_love_squats]

I know, I know. You looooove to remind me, don't you?

[SNICKERS.] I think the Virtue Fairy skipped over you when you were being born, man.

[fingersloophole]

You're too old to believe in the Virtue Fairy. I wasn't skipped; I just disposed of it in very short order.

We can't all be ever-virgin like you. [Oh yes. He went there.]

[i_love_squats]

Hey hey hey! I'm not an ever-virgin! I've had sex!

[fingersloophole]

Mhm. [Because that's not skeptical at all.] With the blond toy or the flower girl?

[i_love_squats]

None of your business!

[fingersloophole]

You're so easily riled. You know I was only questioning to tease you.

[Smug. So smug.] Having our first lovers' quarrel already?

[i_love_squats]

I am not! [Just...excitable.]

And Shiva, I hope not. New world record, I think.

[fingersloophole]

As long as you agree to stay home with the children while I pursue my career, we will not have an issue.

[i_love_squats]

Hey! I'm not a housewife! And are you suuuuuuuure you want me teaching the kids anything?

[fingersloophole]

You have a point. Not that I could trust you to make an acceptable meal, either.

Perhaps I will have to be a career woman while your paycheck goes to correcting the damages you cause.

[i_love_squats]

I can cook just fine, as long as you don't mind picking plaster out of the pancakes! And I only did it once! [Because he was never allowed to cook again....]

And I don't cause that many errors!
