[There is a vampire standing in the fountain wearing a pair of billowy black pants tucked into a pair of pirate boots. He's also wearing a gray, hooded sweatshirt emblazoned with the words Property of TPU across the chest. On his head he has a bright red, floppy, broad brimmed hat complete with a sequined band and red feathers. His hands are

You're back!

[trapdoor_spider]

Of course I am!

[As if he'd come back of his own accord. Which of course he didn't. But he'd like for everyone to think he did]

You're well?

[sings4dragons]

Well enough. I've been keeping busy since you left.

[trapdoor_spider]

Oh good. I'd hate to think you've become lazy in my absence.

How long have I been gone?

[sings4dragons]

As if that would happen.

I should apologize in advance for your lab, by the way.

A little over a week. How long's it been for you?

[trapdoor_spider]

One never knows in a City like this. [He's teasing mostly]

My lab needs an apology. What happened?

A few months. Not terribly long but hardly uneventful.

[sings4dragons]

You should know better.

I cleaned it once you didn't come back so quickly.

Oh?

[trapdoor_spider]

Oh alright. Perhaps then I should ask if you got any sleep at all.

[There's a short silence] That's quite alright. However you may have to show me where you put things.

Because of me the entire town lost their memory and went insane. Claire got it sorted out. Quite clever of her. Of course she did blow up my machine in the process but I got a new brain to put in the computer. It was a fair trade.

[sings4dragons]

... not much.

I will, if you need me to. Everything's still there, but it's just a little more organized. Most of your notes are transcribed now, too.

Should I even ask how you got the brain?

[trapdoor_spider]

Now that I'm back you'll need to remedy that.

Very good. You were busy.

Claire blew up a vampire for me. Of course I'm not sure that was her intention but it was most kind of her.

[sings4dragons]

Why's that?

I really didn't have a lot to do.

So a vampire brain was the way to go after all, then.

[trapdoor_spider]

I can hardly have you exhausted.

I can tell. Everything all right?

In this case. I did make a machine that worked with a manmade processor. It had to be linked to a vampire brain in order to work. Not physically you understand. Mine was not the appropriate brain to form a bond with. In theory the other one would...work. With someone more stable.

[sings4dragons]

I promise I'm fine.

Of course, other than missing you. That wasn't so pleasant.

Ah.

[trapdoor_spider]

I imagine not.

It was fascinating. Truly. [Possibly he's being sarcastic]

[And now he's taking a dive into melancholy]

I'm quite insane. Even at my best. You are aware of this aren't you, My Dear?

[sings4dragons]

I know you are.

[trapdoor_spider]

And yet it doesn't bother you? I'm told it's an unattractive quality in people.
