It all makes sense! Sss, sss, sss!

I don't know how well it'd fly with them, but maybe someday all the journalists for the Cerealia Times will have their own boxes. Imagine it! A group of reporters, correspondents, photojournalists and more all descending on a hot scoop in a tidal wave of cardboard!

[she paused to imagine it: it was beautiful]

[psycholawgy]

[ That is a really bad idea. Please stop thinking that... ]

I... can imagine it, all right! Ha, ha... ha...

At least tell me after all that happened, you're doing okay.

[Short and simple. Yes.]

[cardboard_journalism]

[Myriam is in full on swaying-mode.]

Maybe someday... sss, sss, sss, sss.

[ ??? ]

Did you hear about the break-in, too? I didn't think Ryuko would tell you!

voice;

[swordboning]

I haven't heard anything about it but now you're going to have to tell me.

[psycholawgy]

Someday, for sure! [ Oh no, here we go. ] That's why you gotta write truthful things and gain good rep!

Someone broke into the apartment while Ryuko and I were out. A bunch of the stuff's broken, now, but nothing was stolen. I'm staying over at Simon's until the whole investigation's complete.

What were you talking about?

voice;

[swordboning]

Nothing, at this point. Want me to go over there with you and try to find anything? My eyesight is probably better than anyone looking around now.

voice;

[psycholawgy]

Well... [ She sounds pretty bummed. ] I'm not allowed? Simon said to leave it to him, or something.

voice;

[swordboning]

Since when did you start meekly listening to people, Athena?

voice;

[psycholawgy]

Wha- What? I've always been this way!

voice;

[swordboning]

Always been rebellious, perhaps. I wish you'd listen to me that easily.

voice;

[psycholawgy]

I just don't want to get anybody mad.

voice;

[swordboning]

That means you do want to go look.

voice;

[psycholawgy]

Stop twisting my words around! I want to, but I can't!

voice;

[swordboning]

What if I secretly kidnapped you for a short period of time?

voice;

[psycholawgy]

I guess that could work. But nobody has to know.

voice;

[swordboning]

Do you think I would actually tell anyone?

voice;

[psycholawgy]

Who knows what could come up in your conversations. Even you don't know.

voice;

[swordboning]

You already know I'm bad at telling a whole truth since you're the only person around who can drag it out of me. Apply some common sense.

voice;

[psycholawgy]

Don't get mad at me!
