ennui

[dirk_gently]

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: You scored higher than 99% on Power-Finesse You scored higher than 99% on Leader-Follower You scored higher than 99% on Unique-Ordinary You scored higher than 99% on Offense-Defense

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

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

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.))

((HMM. I dunnow if there'll be THAT sort of LOL there, but considering who all she's invited, the entertainment should be FANTASTIC. >_> We'll see what happens.))
