I see I am not the only one who has been struck with a sudden case of laryngitis.

That is a relief. For a moment I thought the castle was starting to victimise me for some reason.

written. Duh.

[last_rat_standing]

Maybe it was just tired of hearing you talk.

Written.

[hasmommyissues]

Oh you fibber...you know fine well I have the voice of an angel.

Lucifer comes to mind.

Re: written forever

[hasmommyissues]

Why because you noticed my horns?

Oh James...I didn't think you were the type to look.

[last_rat_standing]

Can I help it if you're an exhibitionist?

[hasmommyissues]

Ha ha you've got me there.

Guilty as charged.

[let's play poke the badger, shall we? she likes that game]

The only one victimizing you is yourself and you bloody well know it.

Forever

[Oh it's you...he recognises the writing instantly.]

You're saying I brought this on myself?

I thought bartenders were supposed to lend a sympathetic ear?

[savethedarkness]

Most patrons don't try to kill the bartender before enumerating their woes.

[hasmommyissues]

You've clearly never went drinking in the wrong parts of Bangkok before.

[savethedarkness]

[now, isn't that puzzling. the statement is so odd that she replies before she can think:]

You know damn well I have.

[hasmommyissues]

Do I now?

Whoopsy daisy...it must have slipped my mind.

[savethedarkness]

[so he's forgotten something about Bangkok, then. how very interesting. she'll have to be sure to keep wraps on as much of that part of her life as possible, or at least be private about it when she speaks of it.]

I suppose it happens with age.

[hasmommyissues]

[Don't worry M. He's mentally filing that under "possible missing memories 86-97".]

And you can say that without irony?

Aren't you...one hundred now?

[lord_wizard]

Not an uncommon feeling.

[hasmommyissues]

I'm starting to see why people fall back on their coping mechanisms around here.

[lord_wizard]

When the castle takes everything else from you, why not?

[hasmommyissues]

Self respect perhaps?

[lord_wizard]

Some people don't worry about that kind of thing.

[hasmommyissues]

How lucky for them.

[Except not really.]

[lord_wizard]

The castle takes it from all of at one point or another.

[hasmommyissues]

Has it stripped you of everything yet?

[lord_wizard]

There is always something else. But it's having a fair go at it nonetheless.

[Probably would have been said with the world's flatest tone, were he able]

[hasmommyissues]

Ah..."god loves a tryer" as they say.
