Would you leave the Castle now, if you could?

Friday was unfortunate. But for most of the year, surely it has given us a comfortable home and the most singular of friends.

And so, as for myself, I would not. I should like to tarry here a little longer, if only to relish the taste of liberty and the fruits of invention. Refrigerators are so magnificent!

[ With that, she will be in the kitchen with the fridge door open, sticking her hands into it with glee. ]

You just sit around hoping to hear your name, huh.

Anyway, since you're here, I guess I can formally invite you to play with us.

[assassino]

[He can't help but love how his name sounds in women's mouths, okay? He laughs.]

How did you know?

I suppose, given the circumstances, I can play.

[secondchances]

Great. I hope you're ready to hold back the tears when you're brutally defeated. Did you have tissues in your day? They're good for wiping away tears.

[assassino]

[Word games, much?]

A tissue is just a piece of fabric used as a belt or ribbon. A handkerchief, perhaps?

[secondchances]

Err. Yeah, it's like a handkerchief. But you only use it once.

[assassino]

That seems wasteful.

[secondchances]

Yet more sanitary than keeping a bundle of snot and whatever in your pocket.

[assassino]

That is why you wash them, Stephanie.

[secondchances]

I know that. But it's still gross to be out and about, wipe your nose on a piece of cloth, and then fold it up and pocket it. Yuck.

[assassino]

[laugh]

Not a fan of the body humors?

[He would get way more lewd here but Lucrezia's prob. listening. And the rest of the castle.]

[secondchances]

[Hey, she remembers this from school. She would remember the gross stuff.]

Are you saying you are? Do you collect--actually, no, I'm not going to continue that thought.

Just be prepared to lose.

[assassino]

[Just laughs]

I will, just in case it happens.

[secondchances]

I'm sure Lucrezia goes right for the jugular when it comes to spelling out words. I'm a little worried myself.
