If you lose contact with someone, I suppose all of our initial reactions include checking the network to see what sorts of curses are afflicting us today. It could be they've just turned into a bird and flew away - or a mermaid, or whatever is thrown at us. Maybe the next step ought to be breaking out the bloodhounds or combing through our particular selection of vampires or other supernatural creatures, but I happened to skip the optimistic parts and go straight for the Hall, today.

[ There's a second's worth of an uncomfortable pause before he continues. ]

Ariadne has left the City.

It seems like she knew it was coming, [ eames isn't mad at all she didn't warn them in advance nope nope nope ] so she left instructions and gifts. Anna Assaoui, apologies if I pronounced that something awful, Orange, White, Rupert, Ginny, Miss Mae, Steve, and Lady Sif - you're welcome to drop by our house to pick up a few items if you like. I'm not mailing them out, so it's on you to take the initiative.

Though, Rupert, it's the horse, so obviously that's not here.

Right.

That's all, then.

If you need me, I'll be having lunch at the Blue Light.

That's right.

[hexuality]

So how'd you meet?

voice;

[signatures]

She got brought on as a paid intern.

voice;

[hexuality]

For?

voice;

[signatures]

To devise landscapes for us.

voice;

[hexuality]

Because you were in the... landscaping business.

voice;

[signatures]

Well- dreamscape, if you want to be specific about it.

voice;

[hexuality]

Er, what?

voice;

[signatures]

Dreamscape.

voice;

[hexuality]

Meaning?

voice;

[signatures]

The landscape of your dreams.

voice;

[hexuality]

You don't mean to say you actually work with dreams? I thought magic didn't exist in your world!

voice;

[signatures]

It's not magic, it's technology and the natural processes of the mind.

voice;

[hexuality]

Really?

voice;

[signatures]

Yes really.

voice;

[hexuality]

You lot never mentioned...

Could you explain it to me?

voice;

[signatures]

I suppose I could just show you.

voice;

[hexuality]

Which means what, precisely?

voice;

[signatures]

Well, if I'm going to have to explain everything, it's not very much worth it.

voice;

[hexuality]

Look, it's just—

[A breath.]

If it's dreams, it means using my head somehow, right? I don't know if you missed the big announcement, but I'm not exactly fond of people poking around my head.

voice;

[signatures]

It wouldn't have to be yours, no. It could be mine.

voice;

[hexuality]

Do I want to go poking around your head?

voice;

[signatures]

It'd only be poking around in a dream, not lobotomy.

voice;

[hexuality]

A what.

voice;

[signatures]

There really ought to be a network version of google around for you.
