[ ROYCE HAS MADE A MISTAKE ]

This is the reason I hung up in the first place. [ He says, dryly. Or he tries for dry. It's a little monotone. His MN poisoning has been a trip lately. ]

[bywolves]

Sick of this conversation already. [ Royce. ] I'm fine. You're obviously fine, despite being dead for two months.

[bywolves]

[ What has he been up to? He's... not sure. Past few months have been a blur, except for a few very, very clear spots. ]

Sulking around. Avoiding people. Being tortured nearly to death. Going downtown for bread. Losing sixty years of my life. Passing along supplies. The usual.

[bywolves]

[ Andersen, please. Royce's expression twitches, so it's a good thing he's on audio. ]

He's still around. [ Royce says, a bit more forcefully than he means to. A beat. Flatter, again: ] I'm not his delivery man. We collect things, and nobody takes us up on our offer to bring them those things.

[bywolves]

[ He is, he just objects to the idea of being Alfie's. He's not an employee, they're partners. Huff. ]

You don't even have anything to trade.

[bywolves]

[ Probably in the next month or so with the rate they're going. As for offer me a discount, Royce actually snorts. ]

Presumptuous. [ A beat. ] Where are you?

[bywolves]

There's another chapel? [ Royce has seriously not been paying attention. ] We're downtown, but the tunnels make travel easier.

You'll owe me.

[bywolves]

That's probably the nicest thing anybody here has ever said about me.

@ASolomons; audio; WITH THE RIGHT JOURNAL THIS TIME

[devoutish]

Still around. Hullo.

[Alfie also sounds like absolute shit, which is going to be a common thing these days.]

audio; private

[devoutish]

Emily and Tifa are dead.

[It's blunt as fuck, but Andersen had known them - Tifa especially - and should be told.]

perma-private audio

[devoutish]

An accident, out of doors. It was a couple months ago. We were with them; they weren't alone.

Thought you should know, that's all.

[devoutish]

Yeah.

[He only wishes it gave him peace of mind, too.]

Don't bring it up with Royce, unless he does first.

[devoutish]

No, but some people would express condolences, yeah? It's not all about being crass.
