Hi. I have this sneaking suspicion that I missed a lot, seeing as it's now January and I think I was kidnapped. So much for my little get together for the new year.

[There's a few metallic clatters here, one of them is drawn out as a ring spins to a slow stop on her desk.]

I also seem to have way more Renaissance-style jewelry than I remember, and that doesn't bode well. Uh, Lucrezia...?

There seems to be a lack of mass confusion, so I'm guessing it was only a few of us that... what? Got stuck in a--I don't even know what that was, really.

Sooooo. Care to fill me in? Anyone? Please tell me I wasn't turned into an old woman or something and just don't remember that.

I hope you're trying to joke around with me, 'cause that's not a very comforting response.

[save_the_souls]

Ah...well, you sort of...tried to mug me?

[secondchances]

I what.

[Not even a question mark there.]

[save_the_souls]

You tried to mug me...I think you thought you were some sort of criminal.

[secondchances]

Tried to--oh, my god. You're kidding. You're not kidding. Are you okay? I'm so sorry, I seriously don't remember anything at all...

[What. The. Hell. Let's focus on apologizing, not thinking about the criminal part.]

[save_the_souls]

It's okay! I'm fine! I figured it was some sort of loss, after you started scoffing at the bat name!

[secondchances]

--scoffing at the... [Groan. And then another groan.] Was it just me? Were other people crazy and trying to mug people, too?

[save_the_souls]

Well, a lot of people were acting crazy, yes.

[secondchances]

Like cheesy villain crazy?

[save_the_souls]

Not...any that I encountered besides you, no.

[secondchances]

[Damn.]

I'm really sorry, Allen. Obviously, on a normal day, I wouldn't try to mug you.

[save_the_souls]

It's all right, I figured you were on some sort of loss.

[secondchances]

My crazy doesn't manifest itself as a crime streak, I swear. Thanks for not, I don't know, snapping limbs off or whatever.

[save_the_souls]

[a laugh] I don't snap limbs off of muggers, I promise.

[secondchances]

Just checking! It's always the nice ones, you know.

[save_the_souls]

Haha, right.

I don't think I've ever snapped a human's limb off before. Only monsters!

[secondchances]

You don't think? I guess it could be something easily forgotten...

[Teasing. Distraction!]

[save_the_souls]

Hey, I wouldn't forget that!

[secondchances]

You're the one who said you don't think you did that!

[save_the_souls]

That was just a way of expressing it!

[secondchances]

I know. I was just trying to lighten the mood. It's funny!

[save_the_souls]

Ah-

I suppose it is!
