[Roy clasps Dr. Marcoh's hand, the Philosopher's Stone warm between their palms.

Suddenly, that warmth is gone, and he has to close his hand quickly to keep from dropping the stone.]

Dr. Marcoh?

[He stands carefully. Did the seat beneath him change? Was there something different about the floor?]

Dr. Marcoh!

[He reaches his

[Another voice that the Colonel won't know! But accent aside, Roy might pick up that there's a hint of something official in his tone, from having worked in a kind of military. Might, he tries to hide it, but one can only hide that so much.]

I'm afraid there's no doctors going by either name here.

[Audio]

[verydistinct]

That I am, and was hoping to get a record deal before having shown up here. I was actually starting to perform at this bar in Memphis that had some representatives present, but... Seems this happened instead.

[Audio]

[grandvision]

That's too bad.

[Audio]

[verydistinct]

Well, hopefully it'll be there waiting for me when I get back.

[If he does, at least.]

What about you, any big things waiting back in your world?

[Audio]

[grandvision]

[Fortunately, you can't hear his bitter smile.]

Maybe. I am...was... between jobs.

[Audio]

[verydistinct]

Recently fired? Sorry to hear that.

[Even more, he would've said discharged if he wasn't pretending to be a musician. Who knows, maybe with having picked up the military tone since earlier, Roy could imagine that's what he meant.]

[There's a bit of a laugh in his voice.]

We had a change in management. A lot of jobs are being shuffled around.

[Audio]

[verydistinct]

That's a shame. Gonna find a similar job when you get back?

[Audio]

[grandvision]

I plan on getting one even better.

[Audio]

[verydistinct]

I see. Then I wish you luck on that for whenever you get back.

[[Ack- afdskjl that icon. xD]]

[Audio]

[grandvision]

You as well.

[I need more opportunities to use it]

[Audio]

[verydistinct]

You got someone comin' to get ya?

[[Hopefully more chances will come up. I also see these two always working to find out the truth behind what the other says. xD Yet they have personalities that could get along somewhat well.]]

[Audio]

[grandvision]

I do, thank you.

[lmao yes. Theirs will be a friendship consisting entirely of doublespeak and spying. And everyone else will be like "...paranoid motherfuckers."]

[Audio]

[verydistinct]

Good, then I'll let you get to that then. If you have anything that shouldn't get wet, I'd ask that person to bring something to have it sealed in.

[[Yes! Yet they'll know some very base things that will let them hang out together. Shared interests, and goals that don't conflict, which is a good start. Roy can/will probably be the first one to ruin the first alias of Eliot's Kenneth's.]]
