[the number here may or may not be familiar to some, but its pen taps the paper for some time, as if trying to decide how to start. finally;]

How best do you convince the taximan (and whatever police he threatens to summon) that you did not, in fact, pack a greatsword with your luggage and the fact that there is one in there now is completely out of your hands?

And for that matter, am I allowed to keep said greatsword if I insist it was some sort of prank? It was my luggage, and if something saw fit to give it back to me I believe I should very well keep the damn thing. (Especially after it ruined my best shirts.)

Lyall, I hope you'll read this before you reach our meeting place. I believe I may be delayed for some time.

To the rest of you- if we've already met, I do apologize for these months of forgetfulness but I consider this headache my due punishment. If we haven't - my name is Elian, and I will be pleased to meet you once I am done convincing this poor man I'm as much a victim in this little debacle as he.

How soon can you procure it?

[wastingtime]

I can make a call, I suppose, and have someone pick it up in my name if necessary.

[dead_black_eyes]

"Someone" needs to be someone you run by me, who I trust. We've had leaks and resulting tragedies already, you understand.

[wastingtime]

I'd never dream otherwise, and am open to suggestion.

In general, I trust anyone Numbered, as they're highly likely to have our best interests at heart... even if only to save their own skins. Some I trust more, because we have rapport... Tony, Richard, Shou, Xander, Emilia, Rakka, Toushirou, and Killian all come to mind, if you've spoken with these individuals.

I also trust Torin implicitly. He is the manager of my coffee shop and I would be lost without him.

[wastingtime]

I know Shou. I believe he'll work. (I shall have to make a note to meet everyone else.)

Torin might have some trouble picking up the vehicle, I imagine.

[dead_black_eyes]

Shou knows everyone, I think. It saves me a lot of trouble.

And it sounds like you must also know Torin.

I HAVE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN WHETHER OR NOT HE KNOWS TORIN'S NAME BUT /TABLEFLIP

[wastingtime]

Only through this network, but from what I've learned, it's far better for use Shou in this situation.

Though if I had any grandchildren in the vicinity I might ask if he would visit their next birthday party. It'd certainly be memorable.

Shou presents as far more human and therefore, I agree with you.

Torin's a lot more than just a colorful and entertaining character. That being said, he is excellent with children, which is fortunate, because I am not.

Re: *soothes*

[wastingtime]

Shou it is.

I'm sure you're excellent with something else to make up for it.

We all have our talents and skills, or so we're told when we're too young to know what failure's like.
