So how long does someone have to be missing from the City before you start wondering if they're not coming back?

I don't want to jump the gun and move out on my roommate, but the ticking's kind of a pain, you know?

Is that true?

[cold_dry_pieces]

Of course.

[synanthrope]

That's very generous.

Nothing to do with blood?

[cold_dry_pieces]

God no, I'm hideously squeamish. I hate blood.

Why do you ask?

[synanthrope]

Curiosity.

[cold_dry_pieces]

I deal with prostheses and PT, not surgery. The bloody part's all done with by the time I see my patients.

Well... maybe he'll come back. You never know. It's no use waiting too long, though.

It's kind of inconsiderate, isn't it? But the City isn't considerate about too many things.

[synanthrope]

Well, you can show me, and then the ticking will go away.

[cold_dry_pieces]

I'm not giving up entirely, but it seems like a good idea to have a backup plan, you know?

[cold_dry_pieces]

For a while.

Which is, admittedly, the best one can hope for here.

[synanthrope]

It doesn't bother me much.

[cold_dry_pieces]

You're lucky. Or you just haven't let it get too bad.

[synanthrope]

I do have a roommate.

[cold_dry_pieces]

By choice? Or just because it's more or less necessary?

[synanthrope]

Because she lives where I once did.

[cold_dry_pieces]

What would you have done if no one did?

[synanthrope]

I would have lived there anyway.

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

And a backup plan for that backup plan. You can't be too prepared.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Good advice.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Alone?

[synanthrope]

Yes. Of course. I'm not bothered by solitude.

There're three spare rooms where I live now. Two are as good as uninhabited unless you count the furniture.

The ticking is a pain. [ As if in belated agreement also explanation as to why she might be seeking, etc, etc, without pitching it like a sale. She prefers directness any day. ]

When it means putting your existence on hold, no.

[cold_dry_pieces]

I think you might be overstating the importance of the issue.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Neither am I. Just irked by the noise.
