hey. looks like you're all busy right now and joanne is down with a cold, so this probably doesn't have to be fancy. r&d doesn't report anything major for the next month so don't be dumbasses and make a problem of your own. don't fuck with the liaison, we're not replacing him. looks like there's some weird fucking stone at city hall now. enjoy that, i guess. pretty sure zee warned you about the stones, but if you broke it, that sucks and we don't know how to fucking fix it yet so good job, idiot. you might need to be a little proactive. r&d probably has something in mind, but good fucking luck getting a straight answer out of any of them but the kid. maybe they'll at least tell zee what they need, though. or if you're chill with the loss, whatever. that's about it. wait, right. joanne wanted to thank two of you for letting her help with holiday shit last month. thanks for not being assholes. the kid likes having stuff to do, i guess. and that's really it. later.

Whatever these stones do, they sure don't help with pulling sticks out of people's asses, huh?

[falsepretentious]

I assume that crude remark is aimed at me. At the very least, it's not a helpful one. What I'm doing is staying on task.

[hauntedsavior]

Is your task judging a tired-ass employee who definitely doesn't get paid nearly enough for the shit she does for using a no-no word?

[falsepretentious]

No, my current task is to figure out answers for myself instead of relying on these wastes of announcements. The judging is just a side benefit. It is not just a 'no-no' word, it is unprofessional language in general. Her own personal burdens are no excuse.

[hauntedsavior]

Jesus christ, dude, find some joy in your life.

[falsepretentious]

There's actually quite a bit of a joy in my life as it is. None of it happens to be found here.

[hauntedsavior]

Sure you can't find a reason to take another couple weeks out on whatever expedition you're on? Sure you gotta be back in the city soon?

[falsepretentious]

How amusing. I feel that if I forestall my return by even a day, I will end up returning to a city in shambles. So you all should be sure to be graced with my presence very soon!

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, I'm sure we're all just falling to pieces without your pretentious-ass guidance. I for one am absolutely ready to bow down in front of the only person who can truly keep this city running.

[falsepretentious]

Such an honor. I'm sure you'll organize a parade to celebrate my homecoming, if you're not too busy complaining about the complaints of others.

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, turns out the route goes right up your own ass. Didn't think I could plan ouroboros-shaped parades, but I guess I have a gift.

[falsepretentious]

I suppose I can give that one points for creativity. But I'll also have to fire you.

[hauntedsavior]

All right, but you owe me back pay for my planning services.

[falsepretentious]

That's fine. But you should consider yourself lucky. According to the fine print of our contract, you are to be paid in the form of McDonalds gift certificates.

[hauntedsavior]

Oh, good, you do still plan to honor our terms. Here I was worried you weren't going to take the contract seriously.

[falsepretentious]

Of course. You were wrong to doubt me. I happen to be a man of my word.

[hauntedsavior]

And a man who knows how to commit to a bit. Maybe you aren't as much of a dick as I thought you were.

[falsepretentious]

Perhaps, perhaps not. At the very least, the idea of humor is not lost on me.

[hauntedsavior]

Thank god for that. Too bad I can still tell you were 100% serious with that whole "swearing is bad, be more professional" thing. The stick must be lodged in some very specific ways if you can pay me in McD's gift certificates but still get on someone's ass for doing a swear.

[falsepretentious]

Oh yes, rest assured I was quite serious about that. There's a time and a place for humor, after all. And McDonalds happens to be a hall of honor for me. I manage one, after all.

[hauntedsavior]

Fuck, I can't tell if you're joking anymore and if you aren't then that would explain literally everything.

[falsepretentious]

Perhaps I should leave you guessing.

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, I figured that's what you'd say.

[falsepretentious]

It seems you're getting used to me already. How amusing.
