42. [Action]

[At the City Station]

[Chris has had something weighing on his mind a little bit all day, even if he has been grinning for no reason, occasionally. He manages to go for at least the first half of the day without saying anything, but after a while, he's having a little bit of difficulty concentrating on anything else. So he brings it up. Police

...uh.

...I don't think necron-whatever exists in the City, what with nobody really staying dead...

Action

[justcautious]

Well, yeah, but they're still dead, yeah? Technically?

[ooc: HAS TO BE ACTION if that's okay because even Chris is not dense enough to post this on the Network. Though I do not know where they are. Feel free to godmode circumstances.]

Action

[manofgnee]

[ooc: Okaay! :3 They can just be chilling at Hanna's flower shop.]

I guess. But they're alive here, right? So...it's not really that weird.

Action

[justcautious]

I s'pose... Jus' don't want folk callin' me a nonce or sommat.

[makesfolktalky]

[Ray will staring at you, Chris. The piss taking will come later. Fair warning.]

The 'ell 'ave you been shaggin'?

[justcautious]

Penny. She told me last night.

[makesfolktalky]

Bloody 'ell. She never is.

[justcautious]

[Chris nods.]

Yeah.

[And then he pauses for a little bit to make sure he doesn't give away that this was the first time for them.]

Jus' said she thought I should know, if I didn't for...cos...she felt guilty an' all. If I didn't know. She died before comin' back t'the City an' endin' up alive here.

Action; oh, Chris...

[absinthe_eyed]

Necrophilia?

[Yeah, Chris, you've distracted Justin from work with your incredibly inappropriate musings.]

...This conversation doesn't belong in the work place.

Action; Yeeaaaaaah...

[justcautious]

Um.

[Well. It does when he's at home. He's only remembering now why he doesn't usually bother asking Justin things. It just. Seemed like he might know.]

...okay. Sorry. I were jus' wonderin', anyway.

Action;

[absinthe_eyed]

[Oh, he knows all the big words, Justin does. He remembers that he's trying to be nicer to Chris. Better office morale.]

Was the question hypothetical?

Action;

[justcautious]

[There's the brief flicker-frown of Chris faced with a five-syllable word but he remembers what it means. Right.]

Not...exactly?

[justcautious]

Y'did? Oh, um, well...she brought it up, yeah. I'm jus' still...I dunno. Didn't expect it.

[Oh fffff he really should pay more attention to who Penny's friends are.]

[justcautious]

[Toootally taken aback. Why would he not want to sleep with Penny?!] Didn't expect 'er t'be dead! She don't act dead, do she?!

1/?

[feellikejumping]

...

2/?

[feellikejumping]

Chris... what... I hope you're not...

Wait, did you jus' say 'undead???

3/3

[justcautious]

[Chris isn't thrown off by Sam's reaction. It's how Sam reacts to a lot of stuff he says.]

Yeah, undead. Wouldn't be dating a dead bird. 'ardly counts as dating, that. [And he hurries to explain.] And not shaggin' one neither. She's sort of like a zombie, only she don't look like one, she's not fallin' t'bits and she ain't out for me brains.

[Which is good, because she'd probably starve.]

You prob'ly know 'er, boss, most here do. Penny? Ginger bird? Runs the Welcome Centre?
