[Locked Against Malnosso]

Well, first of all, I expect you're all a bit cross with me given the past two weeks. No doubt there's more than just a few of you who wished you had got a piece of me while you had the chance, aha! I shan't apologize for it. I suspect it won't make much of a difference and I'm afraid it was quite necessary ( Read more... )

[He's paying close attention to everyone, and honestly? He has nothing of much use to add to any of it. But he personally has a question-just to break the ice. Just to see what you're like. It's always nice to talk casually with your possible enemies, right?

And casually it was, puffing on a cigarette:]

... Color me curious, thanks to all this shift business. Do you have any family, Sir Catherine?

Unless that's top secret. [like a few things you've been avoiding, as of late]

I did, perhaps, once. Not in this world. I had a photo once! It was my wife, I believe. Or perhaps a sister? It's been so long, who can say? I'm afraid I left it in my office, back at the company headquarters. I knew when I was leaving I was forgetting something. Quite typical of me to remember only once I arrived at my destination!

[He raises his brow at that, leaning on his knuckles.]

Forgetting something that connects you to the family from your world so easily... No offense, but it sounds like you don't care if you forget the people you've left behind. Wasn't much of a family man? Or... do you not want to remember it out of your own personal self-preservation?

[Maybe a stretch. But he's a pretty damn contemplative person today.]

Not at all! Merely a symptom of old age and time long spent in this world. It's a sad fact that I neglected to write down important matters of my life in my own world before I arrived here. But one can't fret about past mistakes! Things are always so much more obvious in hindsight.

[wouldn't know what it's like to be old, old man.]

Ha, you make it sound like it's so simple.

So, no family here. What do you rely on for support?

[You can't tell me you support yourself, in everything you do, in every day that goes by; if you're that old, there's just no way you could without losing your mind even more than you've lost it now, probably.]

A bit of tea, every hour on the hour!

Re: [Voice | Filtered] not_a_bluesbro April 30 2011, 06:19:49 UTC

...

That is the shittiest answer in the universe. You can do better than that.

Re: [Voice | Filtered] malnosso April 30 2011, 06:22:36 UTC

Well I do have a lovely new assistant, now. Have you met her, yet?

Re: [Voice | Filtered] not_a_bluesbro April 30 2011, 06:24:58 UTC

... I don't think I have. [Too busy being emotionally ruined for a day or two, and before that, praying to a fake god. Thanks for that, by the way.] Does she love her job as much as you do?

Re: [Voice | Filtered] malnosso April 30 2011, 06:27:02 UTC

Heavens no, she hates it. Who wouldn't?

Re: [Voice | Filtered] not_a_bluesbro April 30 2011, 06:28:41 UTC

You seem like you have a grand ol' time. Though correct me if I'm wrong. Is it just the usual cheery facade while you're pissy about life and all it drags through the mud with it?

Re: [Voice | Filtered] malnosso April 30 2011, 06:29:56 UTC

I'm afraid that's a bit too personal, Mr. Wolfwood.

Re: [Voice | Filtered] not_a_bluesbro April 30 2011, 06:39:52 UTC

You talk about your family you've left behind so casually, and yet such an easy question's the one that bolts the door shut...

[He glances sharply at the hole in his wall.]

I guess I wouldn't like it, either, if I were sick of being an actor for so long. You and your assistant. Pretending things are merry when you're hurting people as much as you do, all for some goal that puts you in danger enough to move in with us, of all people.

[not that he's entirely unfamiliar with facades--on the contrary]

[Voice | Filtered] malnosso April 30 2011, 20:10:54 UTC

Goodness! I suppose you have me all figured out, haven't you?

Re: [Voice | Filtered] not_a_bluesbro April 30 2011, 20:20:45 UTC

If I did, I probably wouldn't be stuck here.

I'm just more interested on how the most hated guy on all sides of this little struggle thinks.

Re: [Voice | Filtered] malnosso May 2 2011, 04:45:16 UTC

Aha, I suppose you are right. Is there any man in this world more hated than me?
