[Friends]

I got caught by the mirror yesterday. Before you say anything, yes I should have known better than to do anything more than breathe around here. I learned my lesson. [Now that she's done being sarcastic.]

... I'll be fine in case you thought otherwise. Don't worry about me.

I'm going to be away for a little while. Either hold down the fort or leave the shop closed until I get back. I'll understand either way.

... well, I'm not sure what it is. Some kind of creature... That's going to get it's fuckin' neck wrung if it doesn't shut the fuck up this instant!

Thanks, I'm glad you're here to help me figure these things out.

[likethetragedy]

Any time. [A beat.] If ignoring them doesn't work you can probably outrun them. Assuming they need oxygen, no one can annoyingly sing and run at the same time. Well, not easily anyways.

Or, I could just shoot it...

[likethetragedy]

[originalcopy]

And yet rewarding on so many levels.

[likethetragedy]

I wouldn't argue that if they're that annoying to you.

[originalcopy]

It is.

[likethetragedy]

In that case, good luck?

[originalcopy]

Thanks.
