[ audio post ]When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. Not to even begin to note that this should have been a complete damn no-brainer, to combat this belatedly realized problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and what would in the current year I am from be twelve

[Have one harried yet relieved elf, Robin. She cannot believe you can lecture on and on about pencils and pens when crazy shit is going down in the streets.]

Robin. You're okay.

[ he is okay! but he's been running and hiding so much that even he is out of breath. which is significant. goodfellows don't get out of breath. ]

Of course I am okay. I am the eternal ex-patriot. I have spent an entire immortal life on the successful down-low. Do you think a couple of thugs with gestapo intentions can do more to me than ruin my day?

[captainshort]

Of course.

[It isn't clear what she is saying that response to. Holly herself has spent the day shielded from the naked eye, because if previous curses are anything to go by, the City will still see her as guilty for the murder of Julius Root, however indirectly. She's not taking chances.]

How are you holding up? They took people in their sleep.

[ Robin has no idea that Holly has any reason to be avoidant and on the run today as well. then again, it's not like he would be more tactful if he did. ]

Luckily, some of us can survive on a few minutes of sleep at a time. Which they can get standing up. And with their eyes open!

[ okay so that last bit is a lie. ]

You know, I do feel the need to point out that I have a fortress of a beach house at my disposal.

But what are you going to want in return?

You know what, screw it. I do not care about what price is extorted out of me at the end of all this. Just promise me that you have more to eat there than microwave dinners and I will kiss your feet.

I want you to try not to take the silverware with you when this is over and done with.

I would never allow microwave dinners and Ianto is more the type to send for pizza if he wants to say 'fuck it all' about cooking. Just mind you leave some rum out for the fuzzballs, or they will start in on the cashmere again.

I swear that I will try not to take the silverware with me.

Pardon me. Cashmere-eating fuzzballs?

There is no golden standard of morality. Attempting to impose one is inefficient, to say the least. As I believe is being aptly demonstrated.

[winewomenand]

You see, there can be a golden standard. In fact, it is not even that bad an idea to have a golden standard. The issue is and always has been getting the overwhelming majority to agree.

Perhaps the gods here are attempting to teach us this, which is fine and dandy except for the part where I am not a fucking object lesson.

[thrillofthe]

If the majority do not agree, it would seem the standard is more of a tarnished brass.

I agree. Nor am I.

[winewomenand]

Well, they are the ones with the power. There are two ways to win, after all. Strength in strength and strength in cohesive numbers. Which means that I shall be spending my day running my ass off and for good reason.

[cal_sitter]

I don't suppose you can leave the Auphe out of it for now?

[winewomenand]

Touchy this afternoon, are we Niko Leandros? Focus on the talk of pens if it makes you happier.

I suppose that I should warn you I don't plan on dropping by to chat for a little while.

[cal_sitter]

You'll do as you think best. I presume you're one of the many who's picked up a new following.

[winewomenand]

I always do.

Unfortunately. But expectedly. I think that we both know that if I were to ask why they are after me it would only be because I felt the nagging urge to know if it was any incident in specific.

Do you want me to see if Ishiah can haunt your place for a bit? Until the weekend is over?

[winewomenand]

Excuse me. Excuse me?

What do I hear? Do I hear you ordering me around all of a sudden?

[winewomenand]

Then this advice is being provided for what reason?
