[After this encounter, Matthew's mental voice sounds annoyed, somewhat disgruntled, and utterly, utterly confused.]

Um.

Gil is unconscious? And we don't know why.

It's not something that occurs to me until the subject comes up!

[runs]

Well, who else is there that is dangerous to harvest from?

[failgoyle]

I...uh...

...

...okay, so I don't know offhand; I kind of try to just wait for random funerals on Jaunts where I'm myself and stock up there so I don't have to try anyone here.

[runs]

...So you couldn't have told me.

[That's annoying.

And his method requires planning and not using your Glamour on a whim. Which is even more annoying and not feasible, in her opinion.]

Is there no better method?

[failgoyle]

Well, I knew Matthew was possessed--but don't call him that to his face or he gets pissy--so I guess I could have guessed...which would be good enough to tell you...

There's...asking first...?

[runs]

................Have you tried walking up to someone who is already furious and asking them if you can harvest some of their emotion?

[She's not actively suicidal, thank you.

Speaking of which,] do you ask the people at those funerals if you can harvest from them before doing so?

[failgoyle]

No, no, that's different!

[There's a pause.]

And it's not like I know who any of those people are and are ever going to see them again. And they're not a group of superpowered world travelers.

[Totally different.]

[runs]

They don't just hold regularly scheduled fury parties on jaunts.

[So shut up about how it is so easy to find your regularly scheduled court emotions.]

And sometimes you're infiltrated so you'll come back and still be running low.

[failgoyle]

I just try to hold it, then. Like the bathroom.

[runs]

...that's gross.

[EW, JULES.]

[failgoyle]

It's a valid analogy!

[runs]

You should pick a different one. It's gross.

[failgoyle]

It's evocative!

[runs]

What's that?

[She has no idea what that word means, but it sounds suspicious.]

[failgoyle]

It evokes a strong emotion!

[runs]

...Well, it does. [Assuming that being grossed out is an emotion.] But you can't harvest from me.

[failgoyle]

I know that!

[runs]

Then there's no reason to gross me out!

[failgoyle]

But it made a point!

[runs]

You are stupid!

[And with that, she ends the connection. Or at least doesn't reply any more.

This one goes to Jules. ...whatever they were actually fighting about. Does it matter?]
