[the video feed shows a slow pan around a small, unlit apartment in the Towers, with Axel's voice coming in the background; he's obviously holding the phone. The view moves to the window, which is dark with a yellow glow of a streetlight outside]So I guess it's pretty quiet around here after dark. What do you guys do for fun when you're holed up

S'not quiet at all after dark, is it? Thus, the holing up and the bumping and the monstrous what-have-yous. But why hang about indoors at all--unless you're opposed to bumping back?

Oh, not at all. I just hate to risk my neck till I know what I'm up against.

[atrumcanis]

Ah--well, that's simple, isn't it? You're up against.... monsters, mate.

Ready to risk the old neck yet? Or is it a detailed essay that you're looking for?

[fireintwilight]

Oh, yeah, I feel so much safer now. They're monsters, why didn't I think of that.

[atrumcanis]

It was your question. Perhaps you ought to think about phrasing it better in the future, yeah? Anyways, they say that experience is the best instructor, so you're better off just heading out into the wild outdoors and seeing what you learn. Throw caution to the wind, and all that.

I'm just not that kind of person. Why would I ever go looking for trouble?

[atrumcanis]

Exercise? Bit of fun? As a means to get the blood moving and the brain working and the muscles moving? It would certainly relieve your boredom. I've always found it fun, anyways. What's life without danger, damn the torpedoes, all of that delightful rot.

[fireintwilight]

Oh, all that's too much for me. I'd much rather stay safe, even if it is boring. [axel you are such a lying liar]

[atrumcanis]

You're not serious. So, what, you're looking for chess partners?

[fireintwilight]

Maybe I am. Chess is a very fine game.
