Who: Apartment O + you? door is open
When: Day 32, evening
Where: Apartment O
What: family dinner...?

[There is a stew bubbling happily over the fire; leaf "platters" and shish-kebabs(? something-chunks on sticks), salad, a somewhat overcooked stirfry, and a gourd filled with fruit chunks in milky liquid are arranged on the kitchen counter.]

Okay, guys, get it while it's hot!

It's what we had in one of the places I lived before Sabra.

[ghostofthesparklelizards]

Really?

[byallmeans]

Why would I waste time making something like that up?

[ghostofthesparklelizards]

Good point. You don't seem the type.

[byallmeans]

Because I'm not the type.

[ghostofthesparklelizards]

That'd probably be a sign of something going terribly wrong.

[byallmeans]

Me wasting time inventing stories?

[ghostofthesparklelizards]

Precisely. You're very no nonsense.

[byallmeans]

Mm. They're not much use.

[ghostofthesparklelizards]

But you do seem....oddly relaxed today.

[byallmeans]

Do I?

[ghostofthesparklelizards]

Yeah. Not as....grumpy.

[byallmeans]

Maybe nothing's gone horribly wrong today.

[ghostofthesparklelizards]

....things can't go horribly wrong everyday you're grumpy.

[byallmeans]

You'd be surprised.

[ghostofthesparklelizards]

So I should just ask you everyday you're grumpy what went horribly wrong?

[byallmeans]

No. You should do what normal people do and mind your own business.

[ghostofthesparklelizards]

Hmmmm....

Nope.

[byallmeans]

That's what I thought.

[ghostofthesparklelizards]

I wouldn't be as lovable if I was normal.

[byallmeans]

That assumes an awfully lot.

[ghostofthesparklelizards]

It's a joke.

[byallmeans]

And yet no one's laughing.

[ghostofthesparklelizards]

Don't worry. I'm sure your sense of humor will improve one day.

[byallmeans]

Either that or your jokes will.
