Assuming we know where the human parts go, where did the cat parts go?

[ She sighs, like a loving but frustrated mother over her brood. ]

This is relevant, because when-- if we kill this feline, will all the respective limbs go back to where they belong or will we be in need of surgeons and, or, prosthetics? Because if they do, miraculously, return to their rightful owners, one must be careful where to aim.

Make sure to blow up only the cat parts, now.

Comments

[jimfromit]

Agreed...compliments from fools are meaningless.

[He brushs lint off his Westwood suit before meeting her smirk.]

What do you think madam? Do I seem like a fool?

[nihilo]

[ Alice grins. ]

How might we prove one way or the other?

[jimfromit]

I could tell you about glories past, about how I look good in the crown jewels, how I made my worlds guiding angel fall...but you only have my word to prove it.

And I only have yours for any...past glories you might have accomplished.

[He's picked up a book and is idly inspecting the contents as he speaks.]

Doesn't mean we can't help each other every now and again does it?

[nihilo]

If you had the Queen begging for her jewels back, why would you ever need my help?

[jimfromit]

Occasionally situations...get away from me.

Besides, I was always told to try to be a good neighbour when I was younger.

[nihilo]

Should we make a pact to always lend each other milk and sugar?

[jimfromit]

[He laughs before getting up from his seat.]

You're funny. I like funny.

It’s like I said over the journals, far too many serious faces these days.

Negative Nancy’s that they are.

[ Alice smiles, wide and calculated. ]

So. What do we do? Shake hands, sign our names in blood?

[jimfromit]

Whatever floats your boat sweety.

[nihilo]

[ She just offers him a handshake instead. ]

[jimfromit]

[And of course he graciously accepts the handshake.]

I look forward to seeing you around Miss Morgan.

[nihilo]

[ She smiles, all mischievous and giddy. ]

Alice, please. Jim?

[jimfromit]

[Smoothly as always.]

Of course Alice.
