audio ✁ ❛ towards the door we never opened ❜

[misfortunes]

Good afternoon—City, isn't it? I suppose this is an offer for work; we're rather in need of doctors—a physician, a surgeon. . . a veterinarian. . .

Vincent. Instead of asking for things we don't need—

[ Though that would make one wonder about his definition of "need." ]

—why don't you try asking for a way out, instead? That way, we won't keep anyone waiting any longer.

Well—the master's overstrained himself, after all. . . [ but, returning to the audiofeed - ] It's a matter of some urgency, you see. It seems we won't be staying.

Well.

As far as we know, you don't. People have been here for years and I doubt no one has tried to get out. I know that people have. And I have.

[ulp, voice]

[misfortunes]

No, no, not that. The other part!

[Video forever]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Oh. I don't know about that part.

[misfortunes]

Were you never taught to give apologies after all?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

What?

[misfortunes]

You said you didn't know! Or is it another thing that you don't?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

...

I'm not sure I'm following the conversation anymore.

[misfortunes]

Would you like a moment to retrace your steps?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Or you could just tell me exactly what you're talking about.

[This whole way of insisting to not really say things clearly reminds him of a certain someone.]

[misfortunes]

You, of course.

[misfortunes]

But perhaps you're better off not minding it after all.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

[You are a very strange man.]

And why is that?

[misfortunes]

Is it worth concern, really, if you can't follow the thread of it...?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

I feel like that makes it worth extra concern.

[misfortunes]

Oh—the idea that what you know might circle back on you, is it.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Sure, let's go with that.

[misfortunes]

Unfortunately I'm a bit short on time today, it seems. Answers will have to wait for a few errands.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

What kind of errands?

[misfortunes]

[ that earns a laugh. ]

Hmmm, the sort that could be delegated. . . ?

[destinedtobeunpopular]

...

Do you like being vague about things, or do you not mean to do it?

[misfortunes]

I thought it was fairly specific. . . let's be clearer, then.

[misfortunes]

It's rather difficult for someone to give the sort of answer you'd like if he's busy. Particularly if they know their way around less intimately than you might!

[misfortunes]

I suppose a native might have them done more quickly.

[ hint. hint. hint like an anvil. ]

Nope that wasn't right load faster, browser window

[destinedtobeunpopular]

...

Are you saying you want help?

[misfortunes]

Haha, are you planning to offer?
