Since I don't think we're expecting any more new arrivals, I suggest we begin establishing some ground rules for us all to follow.  A tight ship is a happy ship.  For those of you less apt to picking up on this sort of thing, that's code for 'assigning chores', but there are other things that might bear discussing.  If we're going to

Carrying a body around in broad daylight isn't very inconspicuous, you know.

[which is just his way of saying hello and asking what the hell she's toting around, since he is fairly certain Susan isn't the dragging-around-bodies type]

[decadenzas]

I suppose it would be kind of me to preemptively save anyone foolish enough to willingly wear such garments from embarrassment, but I fear even the cloth particles might be ugly and ruin my enjoyment of the fire.

[deaths_heritor]

But think of the pleasure you'd have while it was still burning. You can cover the scraps up later with newspapers if you need to.

[decadenzas]

That is very true...

But wouldn't you like to keep the pleasure of burning it for yourself?

[deaths_heritor]

I'm nothing if not generous.

Also, it's summer, and I'm not letting these sit around in the house for another six months.

[decadenzas]

Good point. I don't believe an outdoor bonfire would be appreciated by the neighbors either, which is a terrible shame. [but he's poking through the bag again, out of curiosity and morbid fascination towards its increasingly hideous contents]

I don't suppose you would know if replacing a wardrobe of designer clothing with these things would deter the person from taking up so much closet space, hm?

[deaths_heritor]

I suspect it would deter the person from ever speaking to you again, which may also be a desirable outcome. And it would be amusing.

[decadenzas]

I could go for some amusement right, to be quite honest. Perhaps I'll take a few after all. I'll have to repay you for your generosity someday.

[deaths_heritor]

No need, Charles. We can consider this a mutually beneficial exchange.

[decadenzas]

[gathers some of the more hideous ones up and turns to leave. Hong Kong is going to love his new wardrobe.....]

I'll be taking these off your hands, in that case. If you ever need to rid yourself of any more hideous garments, do send them my way. Take care.

[deaths_heritor]

You as well. Use those responsibly, mind. I wouldn't trust just anyone with these.

[And Susan will go skipping away. Or plodding, but she's skipping in her mind, you see.]
