[The comm turns on to show Kate's scowling face. Yeah, she's none too pleased about being ported in again.]

This place again? Seriously? And I just got home, too. What gives, Lachesis?

[She sighs dismissively, forcing herself to get over it.]

Okay, enough of that. How long was I gone?  Who's still here?  What did I miss?  First person to answer

You left? [he's joking]

[deadthenred]

I'm a figure of public trust.

You didn't get to go home for long?

[heiressapparent]

Just a couple of days. Boring, uneventful days.

Which, in retrospect I should have enjoyed more.

[deadthenred]

So enjoy 'em in retrospect. That's what retrospect's for, right?

[heiressapparent]

That and feeling terrible.

[deadthenred]

Sure, but I didn't want to mention that. I was being polite.

[heiressapparent]

I appreciate that, I really do.

But really, how've you been?

[deadthenred]

Dead.

[heiressapparent]

Again?

[deadthenred]

Still the same dead.

[heiressapparent]

That's not so bad, I guess. Relatively speaking.

[deadthenred]

I'm not itching to try on another sort of dead.

[heiressapparent]

I can't blame you for that. Most well adjusted people don't really have a death wish.

[deadthenred]

Hah hah.

[heiressapparent]

Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week.

[deadthenred]

Maybe.
