[ There's a sound of his communicator being shaken. Once. Twice. A third time. No one can see it, but he's raised the thing to his ear in order to figure out just what the hell it is. ]

...Did I miss Xemnas's memo about these?

You know, shaking it doesn't actually help.

It doesn't? I had no idea.

[shedyourstripes]

Amazing, ain't it?

[projectionary]

If you just got here, now might be the best time to tell you that there probably wasn't a memo.

[flameofviii]

That's hardly fair.

[projectionary]

So what would be 'fair', exactly? An invitation?

voice;

[flameofviii]

You could say that.

[eight_rules]

They say the more you shake those things the better they work. Keep it up.

[flameofviii]

[ He doesn't say anything in reply; he just laughs. ]

[eight_rules]

I'm just gonna assume you're laughing with and not laughing at.

[flameofviii]

You know what they say about assuming, don't you?

[lingrush]

It should be easy to figure out.

[flameofviii]

What "should" be, and what "is" is rarely the same thing.

[lingrush]

I suggest swishing around the brain juices a little.

[flameofviii]

I'm fairly sure I've got most of it figured out.

[child_radical]

Welcome to the City.

[flameofviii]

"The City"?

[child_radical]

That's the name of this place.

[flameofviii]

[ A small laugh. ]

That's original.
