[ they shrug, noncommittal. ]

Gotta draw your own conclusions on that one. Maybe you'll find out.

[ashenvaliant]

I expect with enough weeks and murders we'll find out.

[ he will get a drink and -- honestly just down it in one. whee. ]

[guestservices]

[ they make a noise that sounds like "oof". ]

That good, or that distressed?

[ashenvaliant]

Annoyed might be a better word.

[ (thor voice) another! he doesn't down this one in one go though. ]

[guestservices]

Annoyed feels about right, yeah.

[ they laugh a little and take their own glass, twirling it absently between clawed fingers. ]

[ashenvaliant]

Now I suppose we'll need to aware of regular framing, given everyone knows all doors are unlocked on murder night.

[guestservices]

I guess so.

[ yay, framing ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ yay, framing. ]

... Wonderful.

[ he has about half the drink. although to be fair, this one's about the size of a martini glass. ]

For those of you not watching over the trial, is it something like a week off?

[guestservices]

[ valid.

oh, yuri. aquila snorts. ] Definitely not. We've got other shit to do. I've never taken a day off in my life.

[ashenvaliant]

Never ever? Not even once?

[ sheila right, these guys should unionise. and yuri doesn't even know what that means. ]

[guestservices]

Can't. Job needs me.

[ neither does aquila ]

[ashenvaliant]

... That seems. Unhealthy. Even I take breaks sometimes.

[ technically, i guess, having a drink could be a break but they're still on the clock. ]

[guestservices]

[ they shrug. ]

Probably.


[


somehow, it doesn't seem like that really bothers them... or maybe they're just already aware... ]

[ashenvaliant]

You could do with a new job. But it’s not that easy, is it?

[ siiip. ]

[guestservices]

I'm nothing if not dedicated to my duties.

[ashenvaliant]

It certainly seems that way.

[ finally, he lifts his glass for a clink. ]

[guestservices]

[ clink! their glass touches his. ]

Want to make a toast?

[ashenvaliant]

To...?

[ but he's down for it. ]

[guestservices]

[ they tilt their head. ]

To the end of a week.

[ sometimes, simple is easier. ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ he exhales, low and amused. ]

To the end of the week.

[guestservices]

Next week probably can't be worse!

[ cheerfully! they sip from their drink. ]

[ashenvaliant]

I am going to call you to this bar next week and watch you eat your words, Aquila.

[guestservices]

[ they laugh. ]

What's the saying? Mouth of an eagle? That's it.

[ashenvaliant]

Now there's one I haven't heard.

[guestservices]

Mhm. Means you say a bunch of shit like "that won't happen" and then it happens.

[ there's a little dark humor to that; they laugh, and then shake their head. ]
