[re: It turns out there are murders here.]

And I'm sure everyone is shocked at this turn of events.

[outsidebones]

All of us astounded.

In all sincerity were you expecting it to happen this weekend?

[guestservices]

I mean, like with all of you, I'd say we could all make a pretty educated guess.

[outsidebones]

I see. But reading between the lines, no forewarning, perhaps.

[guestservices]

Even if there was, you'd probably never know.

[outsidebones]

Too true. I suppose I'm still trying to get a sense how much all of you actually know. Whether it's a case of not being permitted to tell us, or a case where you're also a bit in the dark.

But I am aware you likely can't answer that.

[guestservices]

That would be a safe assumption.

[outsidebones]

Well, so we're at an impasse.

What do people tend to come to talk to you about?

[guestservices]

Why do you ask?

[outsidebones]

Because I am not very good at making conversation that is not tied to questions about our circumstances.

[guestservices]

If you're looking for a friendly chat, someone like Vulpecula would be a much better partner.

[outsidebones]

You must take my personality into consideration, too.

[guestservices]

What, you think Vulpecula will wear you out?

[outsidebones]

On the space station, the one Avatar who was universally agreed to be wonderful and kind is the one that hated me...

[guestservices]

People are like that sometimes. But I hate everyone, so what makes you think you'll have better luck with me?

[outsidebones]

I don't, necessarily. But perhaps we'll manage to have a conversation, at the least.

[guestservices]

My "conversations" consist of things like your friend complaining that I kicked him in the crotch even though he deserved it.

[outsidebones]

And in fact, he did deserve it.

[guestservices]

Glad we're in agreement there.

[outsidebones]

A word of advice - he is irritating on purpose, and the more you allow him to know it bothers you, the more enjoyment he will get in doing it.

[guestservices]

Maybe you should instill in him a sense of self-preservation.

[outsidebones]

It is not possible.

[guestservices]

Then no guarantees about his physical well-being if he annoys me.

[outsidebones]

Please don't kill him.
Short of that, I take no issue with that.

[guestservices]

Even I'm not unprofessional enough to kill guests. Probably.
