Santa--

I want my children back.

I want my wife back.

I want my life, back.

But since you aren't real, I won't be holding my breath.

Ouch.

Thank you for the excellent commentary.

I'm not gonna put words in your recipient's mouth, seeing how I'm not him.

spinorfall December 8 2011, 13:25:53 UTC

It's probably better you're not. Considering I'm in the mood to shoot the man.

Sorry there isn't a way to delete this or lock it down. Otherwise, I'd offer.

So glad that I avoided the silly...incidents here, but felt this compulsion.

Merry Christmas.

You're 18 days early. Save it for then.

[ SIMILARLY toned...and then a pause ]

We'll get you back to them.

[ James, Phillipa. Miles expects it which is about the strongest vote of confidence from a contrary source as one could hope for - Miles who wouldn't have afforded them Ariadne if it's not what he wanted.

After everything, Arthur can't imagine settling for less. In the long, long run, it's true that was always his end goal. Mal was dead, is dead, and some things can't be changed. But this could - can. He won't let him lose sight of that, not knowing they actually pulled off the Fischer job.

Anyway his dry tone from before shifts in that statement to something more honest, frank: trust me.

They'll figure this out. ]

[ There's not much she can do, really, and not much she feels comfortable doing. The next time Cobb checks the outside of his door, however, there will be a candy cane sitting on it.

She'll be at her desk in her room, if he feels like bringing it up. ]

Cut my mouth on one of these so bad as a child, it required stitches.

[He's leaning against her doorjam, now, fingering the cane.]

[ There's really only one reaction to that. ]

Ow.

[ From his cage, Waffle the bird chirps an agreement. ]

action. spinorfall December 8 2011, 23:28:14 UTC

I was three.

Trust me, I don't remember.

[Dom walks in, moving to look at the bird.]

Phillipa always wanted one, of these. This or a cat. Couldn't decide if she wanted prey or predator.

I've got a friend back home that swears Santa is real. And evil. [She's trying to help. Really.]

spinorfall December 8 2011, 13:32:26 UTC

I wouldn't be surprised.

Think something is real for long enough, and it eventually does become so.

whattingawhat December 8 2011, 15:52:26 UTC

Power in belief and all of that.

I think she meant a literal demon though. A Santa demon but I wouldn't be surprised if he became real because little kids believed in him.

spinorfall December 8 2011, 23:31:53 UTC

It sounds like your friend has an over active imagination, then.

we may need to work on your holiday cheer...

spinorfall December 8 2011, 13:33:24 UTC

I'll put that on the list of 'things to do'.

diastereomer December 8 2011, 15:19:26 UTC

spinorfall December 8 2011, 23:32:19 UTC

Arthur isn'thired.
