[A small hum, thoughtful.]

It seems I have spent the last four days or so sleeping rough.

...I suppose I should be grateful.

Sounds pretty lucky, actually.

[Voice]

[dotdashdotdot]

I agree, Miss Sakura...

Of course, I may have been gruesomely murdered, been shuffled off the mortal coil for a day, and returned without any current memory of it, but I cannot trace any missing memories prior to that, which I suppose stands in my stead.

It could have been worse. You could have been five years old and trying to hold Matt prisoner for more chocolate.

[dotdashdotdot]

[Imagine a slightly awkward teasing.]

The latter sounds like an average evening for you, it seems.

((There's a brief quiet where one can imagine Mello going 'Did L just make a funny?'))

I don't have to hold him prisoner. He just hunts it down if he wants to have private time with his GameWhatever.

A very driven individual.

...do you just not know the word moderation?

[v](I just burst into laughter)

[dotdashdotdot]

Moderation. A noun meaning one of four things. The quality or state of being moderate, an act of becoming or making something moderate or less extreme, a lack of excess; self control, or the title of the first public examinations for the BA degree at Oxford University.

Of course, you could also say 'in moderation' meaning to a moderate degree or in moderate amounts.

Does that suit?

[Somebody's feeling talkative. He noisily slurps some tea.]

... You are so a fuckin' computer geek. I knew it.

[v] (\o/)

[dotdashdotdot]

[He makes a little mournful sound.]

And yet, without a computer.
