Hi there! Um, my name is Harley. We've never met, so I hope you aren't super weirded out by this call, but I heard you shot Crane a while back and I thought that's someone I should buy a drink for a job well done!

So, how about it?

[darwinatrix]

You heard wrong. I haven't shot him.

Yet.

[itistolaugh]

Aw, really? That's a little disappointing to hear.

[darwinatrix]

I agree. It is, isn't it?

[itistolaugh]

Ehh, well, I'll buy you a drink anyway.

[darwinatrix]

Why? I haven't done what you thought I did, and we've not spoken. You've no reason to.

[itistolaugh]

Mmm, sympathizing with the desire to, even though you haven't done it? Hah, I dunno!

[darwinatrix]

...you know him? From before, then.

[itistolaugh]

I know ... Well, I guess a version of him? Boy, alternate universes are a pain. Anyway, it's not like we were ever close but he's got a reputation, y'know, for being a creepy pile of garbage.

[darwinatrix]

Interesting.

Tell me more about this... reputation.

[itistolaugh]

Super into the psychology of fear, no fun at parties, kind of a self-righteous butt head.

'Bout what you'd expect.

[darwinatrix]

Hm.

Criminal record?

[itistolaugh]

Couldn't say. I never asked about one. Is being a bad psychologist illegal where you're from?

[darwinatrix]

No. But threatening to start a panic in a quarantine zone makes me wonder.

[itistolaugh]

Did he? If it happened I don't doubt he'd make a study of it, but actually threatening to start one ...

[darwinatrix]

Not in so many words, perhaps, but you'd have to be an idiot not to understand what he was getting at.
