Case 189

[manofgnee]

I don't really know how to explain it. Actually, that's a lie. I do know how to explain it, but I'm not going to, because it's complicated and ridiculous and unnecessary

That's a pretty specific weakness, man.

[manofgnee]

Yeah, but what can I tell ya?

[totallyinaband]

It happen to you often? I mean, in your particular line of work.

[manofgnee]

Not too often, but it has happened.

[illgrowoutofit]

Wow. I wonder why that happens.

...How many times have you even, like, been around ghosts?

[manofgnee]

Couple of times.

[illgrowoutofit]

Ah. I saw a ghost once, but I don't think it was like an actual ghost. It was just some weird City thing that looked like a ghost. ...Never mind, that's not a very good story anyway.

But uh... I guess it's good you don't run into 'em a whole lot, if it makes things all weird and stuff?

[manofgnee]

Yeah, true. I got pills too, but I don't carry them with me.

[Oh, hey, look! Hanna's here. It's been over a friggin' year since the last time he saw him, yet he's the same as ever. Sam chuckles a little.]

Why doesn't it surprise me that you exploit your own weakness? I still don't get why this Worth guy hasn't given up on you yet.

[manofgnee]

I pay him well. Heh heh.

[liiies Hanna is basically his rune drug dealer.]

What can I say though? My personality is so lovable that nobody can quit on me! And it's really good to see you again, Sam.

[srsbusinessk]

I think I'd call it dumb luck but hey, that's just me.

[Teasing!]

Good to see you too, man. Glad you're still somehow in one piece.

[manofgnee]

It can be both, right?

I know, it's shocking. Glad you're still in one piece, too. Can't have you showing up here again in pieces.
