EIGHTY-TWO

[tehpuck]

I seem to have something I do not want.

Anyone who comments on the irony of that will be promptly ignored.

Besides the absence of a friend, I have a corpse. Because of the nature of this City, it will not be a corpse for very much longer, but a corpse all the more. Or less

Whomever it was may now look to you. I'm coming over.

[tehpuck]

I doubt that very much. Stay where you are.

[cal_sitter]

Are you certain?

It seems they'd planned the killing for a very long time. Such precision doesn't generally bear wanton murder.

Private | | Unhackable

[cal_sitter]

I'll trust to your experience in this case.

Private | | Unhackable

[tehpuck]

Thank you.

Everything's peachy keen on your end, I'll presume?

Private | | Unhackable

[cal_sitter]

It's quiet. The cats are starting to take an interest in Cal's room in his absence. They don't care to let a good bed go to waste.

The first chance that I get where fate does not feel need to gift me with cadavers, I'm taking you out. You need a drink or three.

Private | | Unhackable

[cal_sitter]

Drinking is your area of expertise, Robin. I'll accompany you, but only to make certain you return to your apartment intact.

Private | | Unhackable

[tehpuck]

Fine, fine, but you need to do something. Your face is far too pretty to become a permanent indoor fixture.

Private | | Unhackable

[cal_sitter]

There is still a dojo to run. I'm hardly a hermit.

Take care of your friend. He has more need of you.

Private | | Unhackable

[tehpuck]

And I'd like to keep it that way.

I will.

Private | | Unhackable

[cal_sitter]

No, you'd like to see me become a hermit in your apartment.

Let me know if you need any assistance.

Private | | Unhackable

[tehpuck]

That goes without saying.

...I will.
