o16. the word is never gonna come out [voice; phone];
[Let's face it--his tone of voice almost never changes. He just sounds distracted. Although, if you can hear the pages turning above the general noises in the lobby, he is leafing through the Apartment Manager's registry a book.]
An exercise in really fuckin' dumb ideas. Ain't stoppin' a good goddamn thang--just speedin' up the process of findin' them.
[His attention turns completely back to the phone/entry.]
Say, since this is pointless, are we "allowed home"--[Emphasis on the air-quoted words.]--or are we gonna get shot in the face by a pissed off Olympian?
I'mma tell you one thang--[His attention drifts again;]--ain't no one here takin' kindly to threa--Well, hey. [He's more than a little intrigued.] When'd I get a flatmate?
Well, shit. [He's laughing; he can't help it.] Astyanax?
Heck, I swear that kid never showed up at my apartment. I am not responsible for a missing--Anyone finds a little boy around? Uh, it ain't my fault he ain't with me. I didn't lose him or nothin'.
[He stops laughing long enough to sound vaguely serious--bite him, he's good with kids.]
Anyone actually found him?
