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?

Garage?

[synanthrope]

Yes, it's mine. I own it.

[cold_dry_pieces]

I didn't know enough people had cars here to warrant one.

[synanthrope]

I like cars.

[cold_dry_pieces]

You're a mechanic, right?

[synanthrope]

Yes.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Makes sense. People like to work with things they like.

[synanthrope]

What do you like?

[cold_dry_pieces]

Following my own logic? I like helping people who need my help.

[synanthrope]

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.

[synanthrope]

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

[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.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Alone?
