The test was negative, which is wonderful news. I'm incredibly relieved. But still really upset about the young woman who is sick. So I've been reading the novel a friend gave me to look over.

You know that feeling you get when you read something and you just really connect with the person writing it. And you sort of love them? Yes. Well.

Thank Christ for that, Victor. I'm so glad. Hey, if there's anything I can do to help her? There probably isn't, but if I can, lemme know, okay?

Sounds like a really good book, man! So, since it was given to you by a friend and all... this connection could be a good thing, yeah?

[this_is_vienna]

I'm going to go keep her company for a little while.

Well I don't know, because I don't know her all that well. But she's gorgeous. And sometimes I go into the pub just to watch her because she has a beautiful smile. Which might sound like I'm a stalker, but I'm not!

[chase_dragons]

Awesome. You'd be a top guy for the job.

Well, I've had some pretty damn good experiences with gorgeous woman I don't know very well :) It doesn't sound stalkerish coming from you. It sounds like olde skool charming!

[this_is_vienna]

Good to know I can pull off charming!

Oh Victor, thank goodness for that. I was so worried about you. I'm so relieved to hear you're alright.

I know what you mean about that connection. It's something I feel particularly when I'm listening to music. It's wonderful and bittersweet, and so very deeply moving. I think we're lucky to feel such things.

[this_is_vienna]

Me too, Spectre.

We certainly are. But it still feels like dangerous territory in this instance!

[in_spectre_mors]

Well, "dangerous territory" can also be read as exciting! I really hope it turns out well, Victor. At the very least, it must be a good thing that your friend feels she can share this with you.

[this_is_vienna]

That I was certainly rapt about!

[voiced_silence]

Good. So good. I was worried about you, Vic. And you know I don't get worried easily. I haven't been so scared in a long time. I'm clear too, of course.

Hmm... tell us more about this book, Victor?

[this_is_vienna]

Well I was worried about you. I'm so glad I didn't pass anything on. And glad I don't have anything to pass on.

I can't! That's giving it away!

[voiced_silence]

Yes. Agreement to all of that.

Aww, you're no fun. You know I'm supposed to pump you for information, now that you're being evasive!

[this_is_vienna]

You can pump me for information any time!
