For future reference, if anyone would like something delivered to their posts during this stakeout, I would be more than happy to send a messenger around. However, I do ask/suggest/order that you do not drink on the job. I'm told it makes performing certain unsavoury acts slightly easier, but given that the visceral satisfaction of braining a man

Sometimes I wonder if you're not psychic, too.

Particularly about the slurring.

[Private to Asellus]

[strategy_master]

Possibly. I'm brilliant in all other respects.

Let's do that.

[Private to Shu]

[thorn_of_rose]

This is true. You genius, you.

Right. I'll be down in a moment.

[Private to Asellus]

At last, my talents are fully recognised.

I've missed you, you know. Don't keep me waiting.

Mister Shu sir, I...personally apologize for that. On behalf of the Turks. Is there anything I can do for you? I mean, I'm not a great cook, but maybe I could bring you dinner or something? The last thing you should be burdened with is something like cooking, and from what Reno told me, your roommate explodes things when she tries (can you believe he tried to EAT one of those biscuits? Honestly, now!).

I just don't know what else to do...

And I don't know why people can't share him, and why he can't share himself...

There's nothing you need to apologise for, Elena; all I want are answers.

I imagine you're one of the few people who could make me laugh in this mood. Admittedly, Asellus isn't the finest cook in the land, but I assure you I'll be alright. I know better than to touch anything that looks like it could have been a cookie prior to its death. The thought is very much appreciated, though, and I may have to take you up on it later.

No doubt I'll be seeing you soon after all this. I hope Reno will also be taking good care of you.

That is he and Cissnei's decision. Perhaps if she is determined to keep him from me, and he is determined never to rely on me or believe I can be a viable comfort, I will spare them both the trouble of keeping me out of the loop and extract myself. That is the gracious thing to do in situations where one is not wanted

But...I don't know. It's my department, you know? And....I think you deserve an apology as much as anyone for the way you were treated on this. So does HE, but...I can't give it to him.

I'm glad, sir. Very glad. After Reno explained to me about the biscuits, and he told me he tried to eat one, I've come to the conclusion that he eats rocks. And drinks spoiled milk, and puts it back in the refrigerator to drink again at a later date. I think it's nice to have someone who knows how to eat properly around, rather than picking up projectile objects and putting them in one's mouth.

There is nothing wrong with that; you know I love your company. You are more than welcome over at any time, without any notice. My door is always open.
And yes. He always does. I don't know how I got as lucky as I did to snag him.

This is one of those situations where I would rather be wrong, Mister Shu sir.

I doubt very much the responsible parties would be inclined to see it that way, and I must refuse the apology of someone who has done nothing but help me and has also been treated abominably. I hope you can understand.

I suppose variety is the spice of life. Perhaps a few hours in a boiling pot would soften it enough to be edible? Sprinkle a little salt, maybe a rat the cat caught for a side-dish. In Purgatorium, one ought to remain prepared for such things.

You're both very lucky to have each other. I admit, I didn't realise what a fine team you made until yesterday. It made my heart glad, as well, to be able to assist.

This is a situation where it no longer matters what the solution is, so long as it ends this foolishness. I will look out for myself first and foremost.

Can I have white cotton socks at my post?

[strategy_master]

I don't see why not, assuming the cost of purchase can be taken from your pay. Free delivery, naturally.

[xgoatlingx]

Ok, thanks! I want three pairs!

[murderperfect]

What about them special people who can't get drunk? Y'know the type... it's all psychological. They drink 'cause it tastes good, and is somethin' to do besides find ways to cheat at Chinchilla.

N'make one snide remark 'bout me bein' special, and there'll be issues.

[strategy_master]

I tried that beer of yours, Logan. How could anyone think that tastes good? Besides, I'm not sure I can trust a man who would try and cheat so heavy-handedly.

[murderperfect]

It's an acquired taste, Shoe. A delicacy, like escargot, or possum.

N'what I do ain't so much cheatin' as it is... tactful... deception.

Or cheating. Yeah.

[strategy_master]

Like what?

I'm fairly sure deception and cheating are the same in this circumstance. Though, I'd hardly have called it tactful. Jiggling the bowl a bit to get the dice to roll is a little...

[zacked]

Why not?!

[strategy_master]

Because unless your puppy is called Wesker and we can brain it when we find it, it's not the SOLDIER's priority at the moment. I'll keep an eye out for it from my post and I'd suggest posting flyers.
