It would be far too redundant to say how much this place displeases me...it is times such as these I wonder why I don't develop the habit to drink--excessively.

I won't of course...the idea is merely...tempting. As my other vices cannot be sated in a world where the dead do not stay dead.

T'is the first day I may return to work since all of...-this

I second you on the drinking notion, Sweeney. Especially given the nature of the fires and the undead and whatever else I have been taking pains to ignore.

[a_close_shave]

I've tried to sleep through most of it.

Oh, Severus, can we ignore this month. With all it's frivolities, and...merry making...

[halfblooded_git]

I planned to do so anyway, as it were. Aside from when we are forced to by whatever curses are planned out this month, I see no need to engage in any merriment.

[a_close_shave]

Thank God.

They can't possibly be as trying as last month's. Unless they've decided to make them even more torturous due to Christmastide.

Ugh, I wouldn't advise it, Sir. What with that scare about the water, that was the only other drinkable liquid in my possession. Needless to say, my head isn't exactly in the best of sorts right now. Best thing to do is to work it off, though. Did the shop get hit by the fires, or the horrible shambling corpses plaguing the city the last few days?

[a_close_shave]

Just one of the front windows, those I can easily repair after we close today...

I have..'distilled' water from one of the markets nearby. It should suffice until we hear the...water is clean...

[pitfallen]

Eh, I don't trust that stuff much more, to be perfectly honest, but I guess it's better than nothing. I'll be at the shop in a few minutes. Somehow I'm not too sure we'll have too many customers today, though.

[a_close_shave]

...I imagine not.

Best to..clean it up, anyway.

You are Sweeney Todd? A Mr. Severus Snape suggested I seek you out.

[a_close_shave]

Yes, I am. Sweeney Todd at your service, miss.

[a_rotted_heart]

My name is Lyra. It's a pleasure.

[a_close_shave]

The pleasure is mine, Miss Lyra. What may I do for you.
