[ There's only so much exploration a man can do before he either gets eaten by a mechanical bear, or uses up one of his own precious bullets by shooting himself. So when the feed starts he seems agitated, a poker chip being flipped up into the air by his free hand and then caught again. ]

So I've learnt a lot since I first arrived. I know we have clubs and town halls and all manner of ... ne'er do well people lurking on the horizon. I've seen wolves and heard about the sea monster and watched the lot of you panic like headless chickens the minute your beauty sleep was invaded. I've gathered enough information for a bloody lonely planet guide and yet -.

[ The poker chip goes into the air again, the gold edges catching on the evening light from the window behind him. ] And yet I haven't the faintest clue what you do for fun. I've been here twelve days - almost a fortnight - and the opportunity to crack a smile is so rare I feel we all require some form of narcotic. [ If Arthur were here he'd fit right in. Eames likes to imagine that by now he'd be wearing a bear skin suit and ordering him around. Perhaps he shouldn't think about Arthur and sumptuous fur, actually. That way danger lies. ]

Please tell me there's something you're all hiding. Even if it is narcotics.

I look forward to the eighties revival. It will go well in hand with the technology we have.

[hung_garian]

Rhinestones and neon legwarmers don't go well with anything.

[plagiary]

When I say well I mean it'll be an eyesore but at least we'll get a good laugh out of it.

[hung_garian]

That's true. There's a few people here I'd be very interested to see in full New Romantic or disco chic getup.

[plagiary]

Do you have a list?

[hung_garian]

Yep. Ranked in order of preference and/or urgency. I'd give you a copy, but frankly it's not that interesting and besides, it's top secret.

[plagiary]

Oh, but anything top secret is automatically interesting.

[hung_garian]

Trust me, I know. You think I was born this enigmatic? It's just another part of my charm.

[plagiary]

And here I was thinking that was all natural.

[hung_garian]

Baby, nothing about me's natural, 'less you count my wig.

[plagiary]

I didn't peg you as a baldly.

[hung_garian]

That's alright, I'm not big into pegging, except on special occasions.

[plagiary]

[ A snort. ]

No? Kink isn't for everyone.

[hung_garian]

It's definitely not for someone so straight-laced as me.

[It's such a big untruth he doesn't even bother sounding sarcastic.]

[plagiary]

Oh, no. Heaven forbid. [ Literally. ]

[hung_garian]

You bet your ass they do.

[Not that it stops him.]

[plagiary]

Well, this has been charming. I'm sure we'll talk again sometime.

[hung_garian]

Count on it.
