TWELVE : Wake up, wake up, wake up

[wristsniper]

[Call goes out to all of Mayfield. Olivier sounds a bit hassled, completely annoyed, and there is a familiar, somewhat screechy voice in the background. It is less effeminate than usual; however, it is clearly the source of her call

Have you tried kicking him.

[wristsniper]

He's fast. I don't know when he got this fast. I did manage to trip him, but he got away.

[bornwithskison]

Trip him, then kick him. Or you could tell him that you have a surprise for him in the closet, then shove a chair under the knob and put some nails into it so the door wont open.

Duct tape his mouth shut too. He sound annoying.

[wristsniper]

I do have some nails left over. That's a sound plan. I'll try it.

Duct tape... I don't have any, but I know someone who might.

[bornwithskison]

I've only had to do that once, and that was over my apparent 'anniversary'. There's no way I would marry the drone I'm living with... She's not my kind of woman, plus I'm already spoken for.

Masking tape works too. Just put a lot of it on.

[wristsniper]

There's no way I would marry anyone, let alone this useless wimp.

I'll keep trying. For now, the nails are holding. He is surprisingly strong for his size.

[bornwithskison]

I've never been in any official marriages... Only political ones.

Tell me about it. My wife was so persistent about having my hair so long that she managed to pin me down to try and cut it.

[wristsniper]

I should probably be in a political marriage, but I refuse.

I'm not going to be able to stand it if this is permanent. How do I move out?

[bornwithskison]

They weren't exactly my choice. Not arranged, just... Forced onto me. My last one lasted about 90 years, longest was almost four hundred.

You can't move out for good. You'd have to return every second or third day to avoid getting brainwashed.

[wristsniper]

That seems unfair. Don't they have divorces here?

[bornwithskison]

I'm not sure.

[wristsniper]

...Hopefully it won't be permanent, then.

[bornwithskison]

I've been stuck with a drone for about seven months. If all else fails you could try drowning him or staying with a friend and returning every few days.

[wristsniper]

It's also possible he'll eventually stop trying to... procreate.

[bornwithskison]

True... But there's a chance he'll try it again. Just be careful.

[wristsniper]

I will be. I think I'm actually going elsewhere for the night.
