A quiet, dry chuckle.]

Hmm. I thought there was an air of finality last night... but in this place, who knows?

Would anyone care to start a betting pool as to whether our disturbed nights will continue, hm?

A betting pool...? Well, I suppose that's somewhat safer now that Ripley woman's been apprehended.

High time that women was brought in. Either way, she's not invited.

[12second_orz]

That sounded personal. Did you happen to fall afoul of her while she was still operating?

[phaseshifts]

[:T]

Quite a few people did.

[12second_orz]

Yes, I noticed. [he chuckles.] Can't resist an interesting gamble either, hmm?

[It's not clear whether he's referring to the other victims or including himself in that "either".]

[phaseshifts]

High stakes are enjoyable. Though, if it wears off in the end, is it really that high?

[12second_orz]

But then, where would be the point in an eternal high?

[phaseshifts]

Ah, you prefer things temporary..?

[12second_orz]

If it were permanent, how would one be able to recognise it as a high at all?

[phaseshifts]

I think someone coming from enough desperation would remember, hm...
