Dear Santa.

[Raymond snorts and gives a small shake of his head, as though he already can't believe what he's saying.]

It is that time of year, isn't it... Can't say I'm really feeling the holiday cheer. Nor can I say that I've ever really believed in you, but if there's one thing I believe in less, it's handouts. So let's get this out of the way

Okay, Tin Man.

[saidrepent]

It was meant figuratively.

[orangetoughguy]

Same thing, man. Look it don't take much, why don't you stop asking for guys on a silver platter and just ask'em out to dinner first.

[saidrepent]

[What- What.]

I didn't mean that I wanted- [He stops, recomposes himself.] ... He's a dangerous criminal. Not someone I'm interested in.

Whaddya want twenty more hours for? [She's giving you a narrowed sort of look, head tilted, thoroughly curious.]

[saidrepent]

I'm a little short on time. [He'd like to not have to explain any further than that, but he has a feeling he's not going to have a choice.]

[iam_thebadwolf]

Nobody's short on time here. [Said as if she doesn't believe this is the whole story.]

[saidrepent]

Not everybody depends on it as much as I do.

[starshipmedical]

You need that heart. Keep it on the list.

[saidrepent]

Then would you mind telling me what I need that heart for? Since, clearly, you know all.

[starshipmedical]

To stop being such a frigid bastard, for a start.

[saidrepent]

Being a frigid bastard has served me this long already. Why stop now?

[bedsidemanners]

More time to do what?

[saidrepent]

[Live.]

Anything, really.

[bedsidemanners]

Then you may need more than twenty hours.

[saidrepent]

I'm used to living on a day at a time.

If it's that important to the complainants, you can always silence them by picking one up at the Square butcher shop.

[saidrepent]

Now there's a thought.

I'll have to keep that in mind for when the holiday actually rolls around.

[valentineluke]

Give them out as gifts.

[saidrepent]

That's a little morbid.
