I guess, in retrospect, this isn't such a surprising end to the City's relocations. Which means, I suppose, no chance of it landing on a way out.

It's funny the sort of things you get used to, here.



[ooc; brian is from (i think, hah,) shrink wrap, spoilers are prooobably okay if gentle, don't give him too many details on how his arc ends ;3 please no other Brians. i'd appreciate his hobbies not coming to light for other in-game chars through 4th wall shenanigans. SUPER BACKDATING FRIENDLY. Tag this next week if you want ;3 Will be around as much as I can but may be slooow!]

Oh. You're cute too.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Yeah, I get that a lot.

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

Yeah? People with good taste.

I'm Reynold Damascus.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Rudy Cooper.

You're a tourist, I'm assuming?

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

Visiting family, no less.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Well, that must be nice.

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

Sometimes.

So Rudy Cooper. I hear you're a big important doctor.

[cold_dry_pieces]

I'm not sure I'd put it that way, though if my reputation precedes me I guess I don't get to argue.

Mine is an uncommon specialty, particularly here.

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

Prosthesis, right? You've got to be helping someone.

[cold_dry_pieces]

That's the idea.

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

I heard you helped Saya.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Not with a prosthetic, of course, but yes.

Are you one of her brothers?

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

One of them, yes. It took me an hour to get that out of her.

[cold_dry_pieces]

I hope you're not looking for more detail. Confidentiality and all, you know.

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

[He laughs, and it sounds like cawing]

You're just like her.

[cold_dry_pieces]

We get along well.

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

I'm nothing like her.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Is that your way of saying you don't get along well?

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

We're family. She hasn't kicked me out yet.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Hardly unheard of.

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

In our family? We don't do the throwing out thing.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Good.

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

Are you just like her?

[cold_dry_pieces]

We have our differences.

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

I assume she looks better in high heels.

1/3

[cold_dry_pieces]

Nonsense, I've got great legs.

[cold_dry_pieces]

In the office.






Sorry. That was a bad one.

[Private]

[cold_dry_pieces]

What are you getting at?

[Private]

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

My sister has a set of...biological needs.

Urges.

[Private]

[cold_dry_pieces]

Do you take after her?

[Private]

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

Nah. I'm a messenger. But I know all about her.

[Private]

[cold_dry_pieces]

Everyone has needs.

I am not what she is. But we're alike enough to understand each other well.

[Private]

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

So you kill people. As a hobby? For the fun of it? Or because you have to?

[Private]

[cold_dry_pieces]

Because I need to.

[Private]

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

You are alike.

She must like you if she hasn't killed you yet. But then, you are cute.

[Private]

[cold_dry_pieces]

Are you checking up on the company she keeps?

[Private]

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

She is my baby sister.

[Private]

[cold_dry_pieces]

I'd be lying if I said I was a good influence.

[Private]

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

That ship sailed. I want to know that there's someone here who understands her. She's always had that, you know.

[Private]

[cold_dry_pieces]

Strange family.

[Not that he's complaining, or comparing.]

I understand that, at least.

[Private]

[acongressofone.livejournal.com]

As long as we all understand each other.

[police-pinup.livejournal.com]

Hi Brian.

private;

[cold_dry_pieces]

Debra.

How nice to see you.

private;

[police-pinup.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm sure. Pleasure's all fucking mine.

private;

[cold_dry_pieces]

It always was.

private;

[police-pinup.livejournal.com]

Whatever.

So, I read through this old file a little while back. Probably don't have to tell you which one.

private;

[cold_dry_pieces]

I could make an educated guess. I'm surprised it still exists.
