Whomever tied my shoelaces into a knot this morning, it was not appreciated. Kindly do not enter my room without permission again.

[Pen taps]

Rogue, are you about?

[Slight pause]

Is everyone else [very small pause] alright?

Who do you live with that would tie them together?

And I am very all right!

[burnt_orangesky]

Neither 00 nor Innovator would do such a thing, I am quite sure.

That is good to hear.

[spandexisyouth]

Oh! I did not know you lived with them. 00 is well?

And how are you?

[burnt_orangesky]

I have lived with them for some time now, actually. Yes, she seems to be.

I am well, thank you.

[spandexisyouth]

Good. I was concerned for her.

Splendid! So you are just asking for the sake of asking?

[burnt_orangesky]

She was [Pause] She seems fine now. You gave us all a bit of a scare, you know.

I am asking for the sake of my peace of mind, and yes, for the sake of asking.

[spandexisyouth]

I am sorry. I did not mean to. I had some bad information and followed it. I will not do that again.

There is no immediate need to worry! I think. But the Wilderness is a toy store! That is happy!

[burnt_orangesky]

I should certainly hope you will not.

[A few pentaps.] A lot of people have been turning up missing recently. A toy store? How interesting, I shall have to go down there and take a look at some point before it changes again.

[spandexisyouth]

Do not worry! I will not pass you in amount of deaths! Or tie!

I know. But we can hope for that to be less. You should! I have been twice!

Scribbled out because she changed her mind.

[burnt_orangesky]

[Pen... tap. Well, that's interesting.] I suppose there is something to be said for that I would be happy if you did not.

Very well, I shall go at the first opportunity.

[spandexisyouth]

I would be too! And I would be happy if our score stays as it is!

Splendid!
