[HAS SOMEHOW BEEN OCCUPIED UPSTAIRS THE LAST...TWO DAYS...wandering on down--]

[onlygoodlawyeris]

[and nearly drops his coffee ajdlfkaj]

--Eh?! C. . .claude??

[devotedtothecore]

[ --stiffens and turns round-- oh it's one of the residents... ]

...ah...

[onlygoodlawyeris]

What the hell, you're here too no--[. . .squints. . .]

. . .

Or not.

[ clue no. 1: not entirely futuristic bionic arm, clue no. 2: not quiiite the same face either, clue no. 3: the clothes don't match any Blanks you've seen even if the purple's the same ]

...you've mistaken me for someone else, I believe.

[onlygoodlawyeris]

[yeeeep all that registering rather quickly. s-sighs, rubbing his hair, looking slightly relieved]

That seems to be the case. My apologies.

[devotedtothecore]

[ shakes his head ]

They aren't necessary.

[onlygoodlawyeris]

Of course they are. Would you like some coffee. . .? I'm guessing you've been adjusting a bit.

[devotedtothecore]

[ .....did he just say 'coffee' ]

That... would be good, yes.

[onlygoodlawyeris]

[GETTING HIM A CUP. making sure not to add alcohol to it on reflex. PRESENTS]

You're from the old land, right?

[devotedtothecore]

[ are you sure that wouldn't have helped

* Cup of Coffee added to Court Record! ...sets it on the large table for now, leaning against the edge ]

The 'old land'... I suppose that's what it could be called, yes.

[onlygoodlawyeris]

[I DO NOT FEED RECENTLY DEAD CITIZENS STRAIGHT VODKA it is a thing]

Well, it's old relative to us, anyway. When did you get here?

[devotedtothecore]

... [ frowns awkwardly ]

What day is it by your record?

[evenimprobable]

[WHISPERS]

If he asks for explanations, I'm calling "not it" right now.

[onlygoodlawyeris]

[kfkajj bristles!!]

Why do you get a pass?!

[evenimprobable]

Because you're better at exposition than me.

[onlygoodlawyeris]

...........point, but still very unfair. He knows your ancestor person!

[evenimprobable]

So what?

[onlygoodlawyeris]

So he's probably feeling some sort of emotional turmoil right now? I don't know.

[evenimprobable]

. . . and I'm the best at dealing with that?

[devotedtothecore]

[ you guys know I can hear a faulty gear in five feet deep of a mess of moving machines right

maybe not ]

[onlygoodlawyeris]

. . .you're making it very hard for me to make a point here.

[evenimprobable]

I know.

[onlygoodlawyeris]

One day, this won't work. Fine, leave it to me.

[evenimprobable]

The day that happens, I'll give up drinking.
