The Truth About April Fool's Day

[daughterofknox]

...I believe I have discovered a reasonable excuse to cut phone lines outside of a murder mystery.

[She won't actually cut them. But the thought has occurred to her.]

If you cut them, they'll just grow back.

[daughterofknox]

[...what.]

I can assure you they won't.

[hit_me_haaarder]

They'll come back even stronger.

[daughterofknox]

Phone lines do not live. If they are damaged in any way, they can't fix themselves, let alone improve.

[thirdcycle]

Oh? But are you going to use that excuse?

[daughterofknox]

No, I'm not. An excuse isn't necessarily a good reason, and since I don't have a good reason to cut the lines, I won't.

[thirdcycle]

So, you discovered something useless. You should be glad this isn't a murder mystery.

[daughterofknox]

As should you. Jumping to conclusions based on what is obviously a meaningless offhand remark is a sign of a weak mind.

[lendingstrength]

... To wrack up repair bills?

I give up. What?

[daughterofknox]

To stop it from ringing.

[lendingstrength]

Oh. I was thinking there was someone you didn't like.

... If you want it to stop ringing, though, wouldn't just disconnecting it work? If there's a cord to cut, it should have a plug, too.

[daughterofknox]

I never intended to disconnect the phone or cut the wires. I was merely musing to myself, and you happened to hear what I was saying.

[electric_clover]

Why would you want to cut them?

[daughterofknox]

The phone has been ringing nonstop. It's annoying.

[electric_clover]

Oh...maybe a lot of people want to talk to you?

[daughterofknox]

Why would people I've never met want to speak to me?

[willkill4love]

A-ah! I-Is that you, Miss Knox?

[daughterofknox]

Miss Beatrice's furniture...Asmodeus, correct? If you're looking for your master, she is no longer here.

[willkill4love]

Yes, I'm Asmodeus! And I know Lady Beatrice is not there, she is right here. Why would she be there? Where is there?

[daughterofknox]

Miss Beatrice is there?

Miss Asmodeus, where are you right now?
