Arbeiten. It's research, don't worry about it.

[extent]

don't worry about it 🙄
what kind of research leaves burns on the walls huh

[unfriendlygreen]

[ he scrolls up, looks at the pic, zooms in, curses at himself for a minute. ]

The private kind, please don't mention it to anyone else.

[extent]

shady
obviously i won't tell anyone but what is it
is this that work u were talking about

[unfriendlygreen]

Yes. Not that it's going anywhere.

[extent]

for???

[unfriendlygreen]

Reach out.

[ has nick ever received a fire message? he'll get the urge to reach out and a piece of paper will materialize itself between his fingers. ]

I am failing to create a window. R.F

[extent]

( he absolutely has not, and it's very strange. )

can you show me how to do that?

[unfriendlygreen]

I should be, yes. I meant to pitch the idea of selling fire message notebooks and forgot.

[extent]

because you were too busy trying to create a window?
to where

[unfriendlygreen]

[ he gets another fire message. ]

The whole point is to keep the details out of the most-definitely-under-surveillance devices. I am trying to keep myself out of trouble here.

PS: Burn this.

[extent]

what's the point in private messages if they can read it anyway

( but, he still stares at the scrap of paper until a corner catches, and then it's not long before the whole thing is a pile of ash in his palm. )

[unfriendlygreen]

They're private from other residents. Why would we keep secrets from the higher ups here? This place is fantastic, I love it so much.

[extent]

oh. oh, yeah, a+ work duplicity really love it here

because we wouldn't be shit talking stuff about this place in messages
and we shouldn't
right?

( 😬 )

I never asked Magnus if my "death" was an assassination or a murder. I will not be pleased if it was a murder.

[extent]

what was the fake death you went for

[unfriendlygreen]

Killed by evil thugs. I left a secret message on the wall and everything. "Killed by evil goons, now I'm dead, oh no." Something like that.

[extent]

that's ridiculous who would believe that

[unfriendlygreen]

It was in Abyssal, only Magnus could read it and he knew. Not the Magnus you know, though. I don't think I explained that.

[extent]

uhh no you didn't actually
multiverse shit?

[unfriendlygreen]

Yes. Enough matches that it doesn't matter in terms of our friendship.

[extent]

is it weird though
i mean he's your friend, but like. he's also not. but he is.

[unfriendlygreen]

It was unexpected at first. But I know other worlds, so adapting wasn't that difficult.

[ he's suddenly thankful Nick missed the Best in Show stuff when Ragnor had just arrived. He'd have asked so many questions. ]

[extent]

( surely someone has a photo somewhere.................. )

even so. i'm sorry he's not your magnus.

( IS HE MAYBE SORRY ABOUT OTHER THINGS TOO or will nick just continue to ignore the elephant in the chat window )

[unfriendlygreen]

I object to the possessive in reference to any Magnus.

And I'm all right. Don't tell him, but the local one is... easier, for me to be around in the city's context. Less baggage.
