Good morning, Locke city. Good morning, post-Halloween hangover.

I trust everybody's behavior was sufficiently irresponsible last night. Was the city taken over by aliens while I was sleeping, or are we good for a few more weeks?


[Locked to Bakura, after she eventually figured out how to reach him]



The time of your interrogation is at hand! I must know what sort of person has so captivated my babby cousin.

We can start with your name.

What?

[And then she looks down at the table to see that her phone is still sitting there, while she is clutching Sara's phone like a lifeline. Wow. If she thought this could get any worse, she'd just go drown herself in the steamed milk right now.]

Hahaha, uh, yeah. Here. Sorry. [Professed while holding the phone out with one hand, like it is something that is very hot and she doesn't want to be holding it anymore, while her other hand peels her own phone off the table with sweaty fingers.]

[Sara accepts her phone, giving Avery a smile and wave over her shoulder as she heads for the door.]

Don't be a stranger!

[counterclock]

Yeah, no, I-- I won't. [Cough.]

Later. [She pops a weak salute and then digs her hand into her pocket and makes a beeline toward the bathroom. Holy fuck does she need a smoke.]
