Well, that was rather unexpected.

My apologies for my sudden absence, especially so close on the heels of the last. [An uncomfortable clearing of his throat.] So tell me, dear neighbors: What excitements have I gone and missed? 

[Something off-camera catches his eye and he perks up.]

Other than a new assignment, apparently!

[He picks up the file, and upon reading a couple lines looks positively tickled.]

Loki Laufeyson. It appears we need to have a little chat soon, and you have my deepest apologies for my initial absence. We shall have to begin in earnest to rectify this. In the meantime, however!

Admiral, please see to it that a fully updated copy of my file be delivered to Monsieur Laufeyson as soon as possible.

As for everyone else, my dearest friends and loves, I'll be out and about soon to greet you in person. I feel we must all have a visit lest I pop out of existence again and miss the opportunity.

A pity then. I was hoping for a story.

[impure_tale]

My stories are a touch too lurid for open channels, most will say.

[mightthinkthat]

On a prison ship where even small children are over the age of consent? [Sorry, Czeslaw, Ester has sewn doubt.]

[impure_tale]

[That ALMOST gets him out of his current guise, out of sheer curiosity, but he waves it off at least initially.] Practically my first ever writings.

[mightthinkthat]

A damned shame.

[impure_tale]

How have you fared, Monsieur?

[mightthinkthat]

Oh, I'm fine. I'm afraid I've no stories to tell you.

[impure_tale]

[A knowing look.] I suspect you might.

[mightthinkthat]

Calling me a liar. [Tsk.]

[impure_tale]

"Small children over the age of consent," Monsieur? [Eyebrow raise.]

[mightthinkthat]

Ah. Mister Bond's story, not mine. Made a show of this Ester girl. Who turns out is not so girlish as much as she's a woman. Wasn't terribly pleased. Though that may have been the slapping and the gag. [He thinks that's excessive.]

[impure_tale]

I'm intrigued.

[mightthinkthat]

The wardens all rushed to stop him and he was. [He doesn't know the slang if there is any.] Arrested?

[impure_tale]

I'm sorry to have missed it.

[mightthinkthat]

I'm sure you'll be there for the next stunning revelation.

[impure_tale]

I'll do my very best, at any rate.

We must get together again soon. Drinks. Luncheon. Whatever the case. I did enjoy our brief sojourn into London but was not really myself.

[mightthinkthat]

Certainly all the more reason I should get to know you then. As you might imagine, I'm quite free.
