Ah another fine gentleman with good taste in clothing, should you find yourself able to stop by suite 23B I do believe I can help you with your hat a suit.

[ Suites? There are suites in this place? This certainly seems like an odd sort of afterlife. No matter. After only the briefest pause: ]

TO THE GENTLEMAN WITH IMPECCABLE TASTE:

THE OFFER IS MUCH APPRECIATED, AND I THANK YOU.
WHAT SORTS OF HABERDASHERY DO YOU HAVE TO OFFER?
I AM QUITE LOYAL TO MY PARTICULAR HAT, YOU SEE.

WOULD A NAME BE TOO FORWARD TO REQUEST?

Certainly, the names Kimblee. My specialty is in made to order repairs and replacements of many many things, tailoring being a small niche in my repertoire. I can either bring something you currently have back to top form, or provide you with something else entirely, provided I know the details of what you require. I am quite certain I will be able to craft something that will meet with your specifications.

WHAT A USEFUL EXPERTISE!
MR. KIMBLEE, ABOUT HOW LONG WOULD SUCH REPAIRS TAKE
AND, OF COURSE, WHAT SORT OF RECOMPENSE WOULD YOU REQUIRE?

[ You'd know that green text anywhere. Back when you still read John's pesterchum logs, this young woman popped up with an alarming sort of frequency, talking of strange things. Jade, was it...?

It suddenly occurs to you that if this is in fact an afterlife, then her presence means you've failed miserably. ]

HELLO, JADE.
MANGRIT: A FIRMNESS OF BODY, SOUL AND MIND.
THE INNER STRENGTH REQUIRED TO BRAVELY FACE A NEW DAY.
JOHN SHINES WITH IT.

I BELIEVE I HAVE FOUND A KINDRED SOUL IN THIS PLACE.
ANOTHER BUSINESSMAN HAS OFFERED HIS ASSISTANCE.
BUT I AM VERY, VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR HELP.

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAUGHT ME!
QUICK THINKING, JADE.
I'M GLAD JOHN HAS YOU ON HIS SIDE.

[No. No.
You can't...be here. John will...
There are so many incredulous thoughts suddenly thundering through the dark caverns of her mind that the only things her thumb manages to punch in are two simple words.]

It's you.

[ For an irrational moment, you are elated - the color brings to mind a beautiful woman's eyes, after all. But that isn't quite right: the color is ever-so-slightly different, and Mr. Egbert recognizes it as another one of John's online (are they offline now? He has so much he's missed in this past day) friends. Rose, that's right.

He sees a hint of her mother's class in her text already.

With a soft sort of sadness to him: ]

GOOD EVENING, ROSE.
WAS MY PRESENCE EXPECTED HERE?

I DO APOLOGIZE FOR MY TARDINESS.

stubborn_throes November 26 2011, 05:02:19 UTC
[Expected? No, it wasn't expected, Mr. Egbert. You shouldn't be here and...and you're making her think about things. Think about staring into a crystal ball, watching all of your Mother's blood, and yours, Mr. Egbert, drip out of cold dead bodies.

She feels an inkling, maybe more of that rage.
Why didn't I look for you!?
My fault.

My fault, my fault!
Maybe...you didn't have to die, Mr. Egbert. You or Mom.
Mom...]

Arrival here is always lacking in our anticipation.
This place is not somewhere you want to be.

[ You're certainly not helping his suspicions, Rose. Gently but firmly, almost conveyed through his text: ]

AN OLD MAN LIKE ME CAN TAKE WHAT'S BEEN GIVEN.
IT'S YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS I'D RATHER NOT BE HERE.

...you know about John?

[Text] heir_a_parent November 26 2011, 04:32:35 UTC
AS MUCH AS A FATHER CAN HOPE TO KNOW.

MIGHT I ASK HOW YOU KNOW HIM?

[Text] fujigglephysics November 26 2011, 04:42:35 UTC
[Though her next reply takes a little longer after a long pause, it eventually does arrive.]

I'm merely an acquaintance of him, that's all. Has anyone told you what this place is yet?

[Text] heir_a_parent November 26 2011, 04:45:28 UTC
I SEE.

NOT A SINGLE ONE!
COULD AN OLD MAN PESTER YOU INTO AN EXPLANATION?
IF NOT, A DECENT INFORMATION REPOSITORY SHOULD
SUFFICE AS WELL, I THINK.

I CAN'T SAY WHETHER I KNOW IF I HAPPEN TO BE
THE PERSON WHOM YOU THINK I AM.
PERHAPS YOU COULD SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE MATTER?

ADDITIONALLY:
I DON'T MEAN TO PRY, BUT YOU MAKE AN OLD MAN CURIOUS.
IS YOUR KEYBOARD MALFUNCTIONING, OR IS THIS SIMPLY
HOW YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN TYPE ONLINE IN THESE DAYS?

YOUR ABSTAINMENT IS BOTH NOTED AND DEEPLY APPRECIATED.
ALL THAT ASIDE, I DON'T ACTUALLY SEE ANYTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT.
JUST A CURIOSITY ON MY END FOR MORE MODERN TASTES THAN MINE.
THAT'S ALL.

SO YOU DO KNOW JOHN, THEN!
HOW LONG AGO DID THE TWO OF YOU MEET?
