My wife- Melissa is gone.

I thought others should know sooner than the usual announcement.

[Laughs is about to respond with something to the end of of "Good, finally", but while he may not have enough tact to not do so, he does have enough common sense to reconsider at the last moment and just.

Not.

So there is no response from him.]

[levelthreehooligan]

I am sorry, Malik.

Is there anything I can do for you?

[loyalrebel]

Most of it would likely get you in trouble.

I am going to spend some time in the bar, however.

[levelthreehooligan]

[A low chuckle forms over the network]

You underestimate how much trouble I usually get in. Would you like to be alone, or would you want some company?

[loyalrebel]

My version of trouble is generally of a higher level than most, all things considered.

[Helping the the thief on the Grid was not his worst adventure.]

Being alone is likely unwise, but I am not going to be very entertaining.

[levelthreehooligan]

Don't you worry, I can entertain myself plenty.

I'll see you soon.

[willyousee]

Oh shitballs.

[Whoops. Let's just.... pretend he didn't say that. Yes.]

Would you prefer wine, or a sparring session?

[loyalrebel]

Wine, I am too weary of things to want to spar.

I cannot promise to be pleasant company, however.

[willyousee]

Since when has being pleasant company mattered? Would you care to come to my room? There is a place that you might enjoy nearby. It is at least relaxing.

[loyalrebel]

Worse than usual.

...I will be along shortly.

Psychic > Action

[willyousee]

Perhaps I'll broach a barrel, then. I'll see you soon.



[ Alcuin's door is open and there is a soft clinking of glass coming from inside when Malik arrives. It turns out that Alcuin is bewinged at the moment and is loading a tray with glassware: one heavy cut-crystal stemless wine glass with Blood of my enemies etched onto it, one more delicate with lilies climbing the glass, and one with a bold raven's feather. A decanter of ice water and a bowl of grapes and melon balls are also on the tray. And right about where a closet would be, there's a new door in his room. ]

Come in, Malik. Almost ready.

[thornsofmalkav]

Oh shit.

[Not that Thorne hadn't had a terrible feeling about something like this when she couldn't find Melissa after the Jaunt. But she didn't have a magical bond with Melissa. It's not like she could confirm that shit just by her feelings.]

[loyalrebel]

I plan on being at the bar later.

[thornsofmalkav]

I might be there too.

[dino_zarf]

I'm sorry. I know that's difficult.
