Game 011 [Voice] - Another Year Wiser

[neverplaysfair]

Given the nature of time here in relation to our own worlds, would you say that birthdays here even have a point? You lose any time you spend here when you go home, and possibly regain it if you return, so it the end it arguably doesn't exist in any permanent capacity. But it's still time that you've lived and experience that you've gained.

You know just what I mean, Josh.

[neverplaysfair]

I'm aware he isn't as fond of me as, say, you are...

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

... Aw, well, I've been stuck with you for a while. Had to adapt or I'd've cracked ages ago.

[neverplaysfair]

Please. I'm not that bad.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

As far as guys in the position go? Not the worst I've had, I'll give you that much.

[neverplaysfair]

See? Things could always be worse.

Fun to hang around with, fairly good taste in coffee and decent at kissing. I guess you're up there with the better ones.

[neverplaysfair]

Flattery will get you nowhere.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Worth a shot. 'Specially because I never did get around to sabotaging that gun a' yours...

[neverplaysfair]

And you still exist. I wonder if these happen to be related?

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

You've got me on your side, and the bosses have yet to wipe you outta existence. Wonder if those happen to be related?

... and if you kill me, who'll make the coffee? You?

[neverplaysfair]

There won't be any coffee. There won't need to be.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Hey, punish me but don't punish the coffee. And what would Phones do if I croaked?

[neverplaysfair]

I'm sure he'd get over it eventually. If not, I'm sure he could be persuaded.

Never took you for a grief counselor, Josh. Don't know if the kid would appreciate it.

[neverplaysfair]

I have quite a few skills you might not have guessed.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Such as?

[neverplaysfair]

Grief counseling.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Not sure if I'd like your idea of grief counseling, boss. How about we don't kill each other, and then we won't hafta find out? Everyone wins!

[neverplaysfair]

I'll consider it.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Good to hear it. The less murder the better, I figure.

[neverplaysfair]

Peace is overrated.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Oh? I kinda like peace, personally.

[neverplaysfair]

It gets boring fast.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Good thing we've got folks like you around to keep things interesting.
