Lots of newbies lately, huh? How you doing, welcome to the place, make yourselves at home. Oh, and ignore the lies everyone's been feeding you, this is really a secret testing facility sponsored by the federal government. Fight the power, lock your doors and don't trust the water.

[He doesn't bother trying to make that sound convincing; the apathetic drawl should be enough to convince even those inclined to trust him dubious.]

With that particular PSA out of the way, on to more serious matters. I'm bored. Really bored. Boreder than a straight adult male watching Maid in Manhattan. Any of you monkeys feel like entertaining me, or will I have to revert to my old habit of serial murder to help pass those long lonely hours? Just a simple outraged shouty reply will do, if you can't come up with something more imaginative.

I'm not entirely certain how you missed the point of our last conversation so completely but I would like to remind you that it isn't nearly as fun if you tell us you're going to be killing people.

The mystery won't be whodunnit, it'll be who can fit enough of the little squishy pieces together to identify the victim.

[Private -> 5EVA]

[could_be_dangerous]

Is it really too much to ask for both?

[Private -> 5EVA]

[hung_garian]

Probably. Sorry, Miss Marple. Hate to disappoint you like this, but I just don't have enough time to make it a mystery. Well, that's a lie, I do, but I also have the attention span of a goldfish, so.

[could_be_dangerous]

Clever reference; not heard that one before.

[Actually, he could give an enumerated, chronologically-ordered list of all the times he's heard it, with backstory and commentary, but they quite frankly don't have the time... as neither of them is likely to have the patience.]

Do try to do a good job of it, at least.

[hung_garian]

No, I imagine you usually get compared to Nancy Drew, don'tcha?

[He rolls his eyes, and holds up three fingers.]

Scout's honour, officer. Dib dib dib, et cetera.

[could_be_dangerous]

It's the girlish charm, I suppose. Not actually an officer, by the way; bit insulted that you think so little of me.

[hung_garian]

Lieutenant? Captain? Commodore? I don't know what you wacky Brits call your cops.

[could_be_dangerous]

Consulting detective. When the police are out of their depth, which admittedly they nearly always are, they consult me. All the good cases, none of the other nonsense, lot more breaking and entering; highly recommend trying it sometime.

[hung_garian]

Yeah? Sounds a bit more cerebral than I have the attention span for, but hey, you do you.
