I see any number of logistical flaws in your planned 'outing'. Most importantly, he does not have a key.

[ she's just saying. ]

[amourpropre]

I don't require a key.

[ ...Lucius. ]

[asklepios]

--there is that.

[amourpropre]

'Most importantly'.

[asklepios]

You don't have a key because you don't have any reason to need a key to my apartment and I would be very interested in what reasons you might have to break in.

[ dry. ]

[amourpropre]

I will attempt to tell my typist that 'an automatic assumption of invitation' is not good enough. But I shan't make promises.

Less concerning, however, than the reasons behind your inability to open the door-- was rather my point.

[asklepios]

I may need a small amount of assistance, if it's not merely a matter of serendipitous timing. [ in a tone of concession ]

[amourpropre]

Oh dear.

[asklepios]

Not my preferred option, no.

[amourpropre]

Well, we all know how often they cede to our preferred options.

[asklepios]

Even so. I think we'd do without the melodrama.

[amourpropre]

Quite. And perhaps you ought to simply divulge the truth of the thing in this next 'tag'. [ Dry. ]

[asklepios]

You don't think that would be melodramatic?

[amourpropre]

I believe we're rather limited in that respect, from 'some' melodrama to 'an unconscionable amount'. Entirely your fault, I would note.

[asklepios]

I dispute 'entirely'.

[fuckyouboots]

Details, woman.

[asklepios]

My typist thinks I have got away with too much, I think.

[fuckyouboots]

Your typist needs to shut the fuck up. For that matter, so does mine. All of them, really.

On a side note, I knew the carpet didn't match the drapes.

[asklepios]

[ --startled laugh ] But it wasn't so bad a look, no?

[fuckyouboots]

No, but now there's one less player for my team.

[asklepios]

Brunettes have just as much fun, you know.

[fuckyouboots]

Blondes can fake being dumb to their benefit.

[asklepios]

I find 'naive foreigner' works almost as well, almost as often. [ benevenuta. ]

[fuckyouboots]

But then you leave yourself open to idiots who think speaking louder will help you understand their language.

[asklepios]

That sort will assume the same given my accent with no help from me.

[fuckyouboots]

True. I feel like violence would make everyone happy in this case.

[asklepios]

It's not without merit.

[fuckyouboots]

Who needs merit anyway?
