Apples, hm. That's pretty harmless, for the Animus. Let's hope it lasts.

[But it's quiet, distracted -- if only a little. There is the sound of a thunk -- Rei is outside, collecting apples.]

Are we going to do anything for Halloween again, this year?

[And the feed cuts off -- and now, to business.]

Remember how I told you that I would let you know if I didn't trust anyone in the police force?

[She pauses.]

-- I'd like to talk to you. In person, please. I can meet you wherever you want to meet.

Still serious on helping make this city a better place?

[Hey, man. Sugar was EXPENSIVE in his era. He doesn't eat a steady diet of it.]

From a bit every now and then?!

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

Well -- everything is fine in moderation.

[Not money man, you need a lot of that or you fail.]

Of course. Indulging in too much of anything can be bad. Especially sugar. That way lies a stomach ache.

[Rhode never seemed to have a problem with that. 8| But Rei doesn't that -- though she does make something of a face at the thought.]

A horrible one, if you're unlucky.

And I don't think Miss Unohana will ease the pain stupidity!

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

She would probably laugh at you.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[dark-thespian.livejournal.com]

And tell you to walk it off.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

She's done that to me more than once.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[dark-thespian.livejournal.com]

I can't say that's happened to me yet.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

Don't give her an opportunity to. I'd rather take on the dinosaurs of the Inner City again.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[dark-thespian.livejournal.com]

What is in the inner city?

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

[She's quiet, for a moment, before -- ]

Nothing, really. Buildings. The smell of blood. Robotic dinosaurs. And the Animus.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[dark-thespian.livejournal.com]

Were there any markings on the walls or the floors?

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

No.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[dark-thespian.livejournal.com]

Any equipment left over?

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[flameandpassion]

It looked like someone packed up and left in a hurry.

[Voice // Private // Unhackable]

[dark-thespian.livejournal.com]

And not much was left behind.

I can't tell if they used sorcery combined with science. Back home there's an ancient artifact that moves through time and space.
