Re: Day 250

[mykidisthebest]

I'm not a masochist, so I'd prefer a 1? But use your best judgement since I can handle anything. They're your memories, so it's whatever you prefer to share.

Re: Day 250

[fullcursemeal]

What an incredibly bold thing to say in this place.

Re: Day 250

[mykidisthebest]

I'm confident in my assessment and will not be changing it.

Re: Day 250

[fullcursemeal]

Just for the record, murder is far from the worst we deal with, usually.

Re: Day 250

[mykidisthebest]

Oh, I know. There are plenty of things that are worse than death.

Re: Day 250

[fullcursemeal]

[I am starting to have concerns about this man's mental well-being]

... So you're just normally this pragmatic about everything?

Re: Day 250

[mykidisthebest]

[only now???]

...Well...probably not. I couldn't say I'm pragmatic about most things.

Re: Day 250

[fullcursemeal]

[it is slowly coming together]

Please tell me more, Eugene.

Re: Day 250

[mykidisthebest]

What is there to say? I like being practical as much as the next person, but I'm also only human. I'll be driven by emotions as much as anyone else. Rather than practical...it's natural to want to collect information and solve problems.

Re: Day 250

[fullcursemeal]

What problem are you trying to solve here, exactly?

Re: Day 250

[mykidisthebest]

The magical death cruise problem?

Re: Day 250

[fullcursemeal]

And what would the solution look like, to you?

Re: Day 250

[mykidisthebest]

I'm still trying to figure that part out. I haven't been here that long and I don't have that much information. And I don't know what an ideal solution looks like to everyone.

Re: Day 250

[fullcursemeal]

I get the impression you might be underestimating the scope of this whole situation.

Re: Day 250

[mykidisthebest]

Is that a polite way of saying you think I can't do it? That might've hurt my feelings. You don't know me well enough to know whether or not I can do the impossible.

Re: Day 250

[fullcursemeal]

I think I'd like to see that.

Re: Day 250

[mykidisthebest]

Then please be patient and cooperate. It'll go faster if we all work together.

Re: Day 250

[fullcursemeal]

[laughs]

I'm not not cooperating.

Re: Day 250

[mykidisthebest]

I know. It's just a friendly reminder. You'll be more entertained if you play along, so you won't lose out.

Re: Day 250

[fullcursemeal]

Oh? There's entertainment to be had, too?

Re: Day 250

[mykidisthebest]

I mean, probably. Isn't that why people love reading murder mystery novels? Solving a mystery is entertaining.

Re: Day 250

[fullcursemeal]

[there's a bit of an awkward silence there]








Is that what you think the genre is?

Re: Day 250

[mykidisthebest]

[quiet on the other end of the line, the humor slipping out of his tone]

I'm not sure. Like I said, I'm still figuring things out. It's hard to get a full picture in only two days. What genre would you categorize it as?

Re: Day 250

[fullcursemeal]

I don't know. I'm afraid that isn't really my area of expertise.

Re: Day 250

[mykidisthebest]

I don't read enough stories to know for sure. But maybe we can settle on an "action/adventure" story with a bit of mystery thrown in until we can narrow it down.
