[Thursday's voice is light, but there's an undercurrent of barely suppressed anger there.]

So.

That was a flood, I suppose.

What an utter bitch. If I insulted anyone or anything during...all of that, consider this a formal apology. If there's any way I can make it up to you, please tell me

Madame Next, she did not harm me terribly much. A few bruises and a wounded ego. And I did guess that she wasn't quite you.

Are you... perhaps we can meet for a drink or something? I know recovering from being affected by a flood can be troublesome.

Re: [audio] [private]

[jurisfictional]

She is and she isn't. It's not technically her fault--she was written that way--but everyone had to suffer the consequences. It's difficult to explain.

I...would like that very much. Shall I meet you at the bar?

[young_idealist]

Did you write her that way?

But yes, I'll meet you there.

spam?

[jurisfictional]

I don't believe I'd be able to live with myself if I had.

[and click. She's switched off the feed.]

[most_feared]

I think anything and everything that happened to anyone affected falls under the criteria of generally embarrassing experience.

I won't hold nothin' against you. [You didn't plant gas bombs like some people he could name.]

[jurisfictional]

I had better get used to this, then. I'm glad it ended when it did; GSD knows what trouble she could have caused otherwise.

Thank you.

[most_feared]

Honestly it's not too much weirder than my usual job, just this time it irritated the shit out of me. I guess I need to keep reminding myself of that.

[jurisfictional]

Oh? What's your usual job?

[gingerspeedster]

I'm always up for a drink. I think I slept through most of the flood though.

[jurisfictional]

You were lucky, then.

It's Wally, right? I'll meet you at the bar in a few minutes.

[gingerspeedster]

I'll see you there. Miss Next, was it?

spam/log/assume?

[jurisfictional]

That's right. Call me Thursday, though. Miss Next makes me feel excessively young or excessively old--I'm not sure which.

Re: private

[jurisfictional]

[Grimly] I would. She deserved it really.

I'm glad you're all right, though.

Re: private

[jurisfictional]

I can respect that. It doesn't change the fact that she should have helped, though.

Let me know if there's anything you need--although if it's something that isn't a stiff drink, the infirmary would probably be better off helping.

[sharpememory]

Getting cussed at. That was a great experience. Thanks for that.

[jurisfictional]

...if it helps, she caused actual violence to a few other people. Though I'm not sure if you value your ego or your physical well-being more.

[sharpememory]

Yeah, well. She seemed to talk a lot of shop. I wanted to see if there was any bite behind it.

[jurisfictional]

There probably would have been if you'd got close enough.
