When Gilks first went missing, I was... energized; It seemed like a call to action that could not be ignored. My subsequent actions have come to nothing and the months drag on. My motivation is sapped. Hollister comes and vanishes and reappears and I have no idea what's going on there. It occurs to me I don't really have any good contacts in the Nexus, or I might be more informed. I'd like to blame someone or something else for this but I do spend the majority of my time these days running up my tab at Hollister's, an allowance that seems to continue regardless of her status as a missing or non-missing person.
I need something new, something to kick myself into action again. I need something more interesting to look for than missing cats.


A Black Bishop
You scored 1 Power-Finesse, 5 Leader-Follower, 4 Unique-Ordinary, and 2 Offense-Defense!
You are conniving and sneaky, and often overlooked by your opponent. You are content to stay off to one side, allowing the bloodbath to ensue. Then, when the moment is right and the other king has let his guard down you strike! Your indirect approach to things gives your team more options. However, in the big picture you are expendable. No matter how hard you try, you can only reach half the squares on the board.




My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

Excellent day to dig a very big hole. Use it to bury your personal bluebird of happiness. The cat killed it.

:P
In other news, I'm getting older next month.

Dirk! Oh, smegging hell, I'm so sorry. Everything went tits up for me last month and it's been insane ever since. I'm in Spain right now, taking a well needed vacation. And I told you, your tab at my pub is bottomless. Like the fountain of youth. Only with booze.

I'm having a Halloween party on the 31st; I'd be dead chuffed if you came. The theme is Rogue's Gallery. Come as your favorite villain. :D

Also, when's your birthday? Mine's eleven November.

No worries, I'll let you cop out with the insanity plea. Is it any warmer in Spain? I need to pay the construction people something again, I'm getting tired of sleeping under ten blankets and wearing a coat indoors. Maybe I should put the construction money towards a vacation in Spain instead.
Mmmm... I like the idea of a fountain of youth OF booze, only catch is you drink too much of it and suddenly you're underage again.

Party? Where? At the pub? I'd love to come, it sounds like an excellent distraction, but I'll have to think about the costume bit. I'm not that kind of detective.

November 27, I'll put yours on my datebook.

It's actually pretty overcast here. But then again, I'm staying in a castle, so any sort of whinging is right out.

And, wait, your flat is cold? Do you want me to get somebody over there for you? To fix things, I mean?

The party's going to be at my flat, as a matter of fact. *Directions to the flat, along with PINpoint coordinates, included here.* I'd love it if you came. Seriously. :D

I've heard castles are drafty, so I'm really not envious, but yes my flat is cold. My flat has had a glorious polyethylene front for... a while now. I really should pay them so I can get that fixed but, alas, I am as ever in the midst of a minor cash-flow crisis. You know how it is. The neighbours are not even remotely understanding about this, ranting on about property values. I'm the one with a bloody tarp for a wall.
Ahem.
Hmmm... so this means I get to see where you live? Posh mansion, is it? To go with your holiday and weekend castle getaway? I'll be there, barring quantum interference, of course.

((Will there be LOL? Pleeease tell there will be Nexus LOL?))

Hah! No, love, s'just a three bedroom flat. The castle isn't mine. (Well, not yet.)

I'm serious. I can get contractors over to you ASAP and get your place fixed. We'll just add it to your bottomless tab, shall we? ;)

((Maaaaaaybe. :3 There's always shenanigans at Hipster's parties.))

...You would have my undying gratitude, which is a pretty trick since you already do.

((I am seriously still looking for an excuse to get him turned into a cat. I thought I'd have him come to the party dressed as one. Since you said villains, he'll claim he's supposed to be Macavity.))

I'm sorry I haven't been around lately. I was wondering where you went, though.

When's your birthday?

From: [identity profile] dirk--gently.livejournal.com
Mostly to the pub, which is an unhealthy preoccupation but since I've given up smoking... What have you been up to? Not getting into trouble, I trust?

November 27 and don't believe a word the great Zaganza says about it.

I've been... in some trouble, now and then. *this is a teenager eyeshifting and feeling guilty* I've been trying to be good, though. Heck, I think you're one of the people in the Nexus that'd understand most of the trouble I get into.

I shall remember this!

Oh well, what good is it being a teenager if you don't get into trouble.

I'll have to tell you about some of the adventures I've had.

... Also, I have a lightsaber.

I'd be delighted to here it, preferably over a pizza. My life is lackluster in the adventure department these days, althought I know better than to complain because when it rains, it pours.
Really? What's the market price on those? I get too many door-to-door salesmen these days.

:D You might have to deal with me whining a bit. But I will buy you a pizza.

I dunno. But it's fun. It makes the pretty noises they do in the movies, too.

From: [identity profile] dirk--gently.livejournal.com
For pizza, I'm in.
Yes, but where did you get it? Or was it a gift? I'm curious now, even though I probably shouldn't have one. Especially if I'm getting the front wall fixed.

It was a gift for my birthday. It's green. :D

How old does this make you now? Or are you old enough that I'm not allowed to ask?

From: [identity profile] sthenyaer.livejournal.com
I'm fifteen! You can still ask for a while.
