[forward-date to around 3 or 4am 6/13. poster ID for this tablet is MARTIN DARKOV, but this is not the Martin you are looking for. here is a pretty face for you.

actually, no. this was a pretty face, but there is a lot of ugly going on here. scabs and grooved flesh all along the right side...eye nearly swollen shut.

this gal's brow is furrowed, straining, contradicting the lazy smile it wears.

slow, methodical, yet wavering after each letter:]

D. A. R. [swallow. a wider smile and a shakier voice.] K. O. V.

[it blinks a few times; there's a couple tears trailing from behind the monocle.]

Oh. Sh. Shh.

We solved a mystery.

[boughtabookstore]

What mystery would that be?

[theparasite]

The dead Darkov. We know who it is now!

[boughtabookstore]

Dead? How is he dead?

[theparasite]

The way most anything is, I suppose. How different is it to be dead?

[boughtabookstore]

But how did it happen? That is what I am asking.

[theparasite]

How should I know? He was dead before I knew to look. [a choked sound upon exhale. sigh.]

[boughtabookstore]

So how do you know he is dead?

[theparasite]

The facts.

[boughtabookstore]

That is not at all helpful.

[theparasite]

I'm not helping you. Silly.

[boughtabookstore]

Then what, precisely, are you doing right now?

[theparasite]

Marveling.

[boughtabookstore]

And why are you marveling at someone's apparent death?

[theparasite]

[leaning back, drawing in a looooong breath, letting it out in a longer sigh.]

Ohhh, no, no...that's not shocking. That's different. I expected that.

[boughtabookstore]

[ what ]

You expected him to be dead? You sounded rather surprised.
