Tell me, network, what do you think of when I say "law"? Alternatively, how do you view the law here?

Also, hello, I'm back. Actually, I have been back for a few days but upon my return I discovered I had far more homework than I remember having. Isn't that always the worst?

Metricog was quite interesting, wasn't it? I would like to start a petition that all City Hall members begin carrying bandaids on their person. Please think of the young girls who may or may not skin their knees in alternate universes in the future.

Thank you.

Voice; Private to Kanaya
Kanaya -- are you free tonight? There was something I wanted to give a few days ago, but naturally what with my being away and coming back, I've had some ... work matters to catch up with and also far more homework than should be lawfully allowed.

Prepared as always.

[ she pulls up her purse and digs through it a little before bringing out a travel pack of kleenex. it is a very big and mildly unfashionable purse. a mom purse. ]

You have no idea.

[nitidus]

Kanaya.

[She is totally laughing. There is real life Kleenex. Kanaya might actually be troll Mary Poppins. ]

[glowsferatu]

I told you!

[ you don't want to see the depths of this, rose. she has so much shit in her bag it would boggle your mind. ]

[nitidus]

Do you have the kitchen sink in there too?

[glowsferatu]

[ she snickers lightly. ]

I don't see what use I'd get from that.

[nitidus]

You could clean the dishes wherever you go.

[glowsferatu]

Maybe I should be packing the dishes as well, then! [ looking back down at her stuffed purs: ] Though I doubt I'd have the room.

[nitidus]

I don't know, I think you could manage somehow.

[glowsferatu]

Could, should, and will can all be such different things. The moment it seems that I may be traveling down such a path, I need you to promise that you'll intervene.

[nitidus]

I promise upon my life.

[glowsferatu]

The habit would never stand a chance against so heroic a resolve.

[nitidus]

Yes, I thought so too.

[glowsferatu]

Weak in the knees, perhaps, could be considered an understatement.

[nitidus]

Are you swooning?

[glowsferatu]

I made no such claim! [ but it's probably true anyway. ]

[nitidus]

You didn't have to.

[glowsferatu]

What exactly are you trying to imply? I'm hardly so delicate!

[nitidus]

Oh, I do think I detect a lie!

[glowsferatu]

Surely the work of an overactive imagination! But that's perfectly alright, I wouldn't dream of holding it against you.

[nitidus]

Perhaps the vodka is going to your head!

[glowsferatu]

I haven't even finished my first glass.

[ on cue, she takes another sip, leaning back against the headboard and staring at the ceiling. ]

Do you... Do you ever think about our, um...that book club we had?

[nitidus]

The one you resigned from?

[glowsferatu]

Well, it...wouldn't have been appropriate to remain. Given how things were at the time.

[nitidus]

That is true. I do remember, vaguely, forbidding you from leaving.
