Oh, not again. I swear I don't know why I try anymore.

...Owen?

[justifiesmeans]

Meli!

-- Hold on, does this mean T.H.E.Y. is still alive?

[mabit]

Miraculously enough.

I could ask the same of you.

[justifiesmeans]

Alive, yes. Also doing rather well as far as these things go. I assumed that you weren't going to be coming after me. It has been a year, Meli.

Owen?

Oh my sweet benificent lords and ladies.

How on earth is it -- oh, never mind, hello, hello, and welcome back to the land of the living, my dear Eurydice, and who can we thank for your return? Or is it all your own ingenuity?

[justifiesmeans]

This is me, Juilliard, of course it's all my own ingenuity. I'm not all surprised to see that you're still about-- now that I know T.H.E.Y. is still about-- you were always resiliant that way.

[juilliard_vichy]

"Resilient." You unutterably charming man. Others have used the metaphors of cockroaches.

Where is your particular purgatory? Weren't you in ... Spain, or was it Portugal? Were there bulls?

I do believe you promised me a cup of coffee before you left, you know. I insist on us keeping the bargain.

[justifiesmeans]

Cockroaches are appreciable in their own way, and they have their uses. You can use them as weapons, you know. Few things will get people to recoil faster than certain insects.

Italy, actually. Florence. City of arts, music, and the mob.

When I get back from this world, I'll do that, then. Do you still take your coffee the same way?
