Comments

[implying]

Until very recently, I was there.

[strongeralone]

You found it before? How?

[implying]

Completely by chance, I'm afraid. It's a subtle thing, and impossible to see unless you're at precisely the right angle.

Perhaps you glimpse the enormity of the search ahead of me?

[strongeralone]

Where was it the last time?

[implying]

[ he starts to answer, but pauses. which stretches out into a pretty decently sized pause! ]

I'm sorry, I'd rather not say. Security reasons, you understand!

[strongeralone]

[Well that makes him frown. Not...that...whoever's on the other side can see that. He pauses as well, trying to figure out where to take this.]

What can you say.

[implying]

It was in an alley, very out of the way. I've heard of these windows being discovered behind shelves in storage rooms, under stairwells, in remote forests...

I can say that I will be sure to contact you if I do find it.

[strongeralone]

Appreciate that.

When was the last time it was found?

[implying]

My original window was found and closed some five months ago, I believe. The one that I assume brought me here, well, that one was found only a day or so ago.

Do you have any experience with this kind of thing?

[strongeralone]

Depends on what this is.

[implying]

Well, this. Worlds and such. I imagine most people live out their lives without ever thinking of such things, but you're taking the lot of it very well.

[strongeralone]

I specialize in the unbelievable.

[implying]

Do you! One could collect quite a few stories with a specialization like that. Ones they might be willing to share, with any luck!

[strongeralone]

Counting on luck'll get you killed.

[implying]

So far so good. I must be particularly lucky.

[strongeralone]

It runs out eventually.

[implying]

I do hope that isn't experience speaking?

[strongeralone]

What do you know about this city, outside of the general rundown they give you when you show up

[That's what you call smooth.]

[implying]

[ wow nice subject change there, buddy. BUT HE'LL LET IT GO BECAUSE HE'S A NICE GUY. ]

I'd be pleased to share what I have so far— perhaps the two of us might meet for an exchange?

[strongeralone]

Why don't you just tell me what you know.

[He'll rendezvous if he has to but the fact that this person might not even be a person doesn't leave him eager to meet.]

[implying]

Perhaps a deal? Information for a few drinks, mm?

[ it's just so hard to flirt over text, this guy might not even be hot!! ]

[strongeralone]

[Reply is delayed as he mulls this over. This could be dangerous, true, but that never stopped him before. He'll have to take some risks if he wants to figure anything out.]

Where.

[implying]

[ address ] will do nicely, I think! A quiet place, where they don't seem to charge too much of thirsty newcomers.

[strongeralone]

In an hour?

[That'd give him time to check the place out.]

[implying]

I'll see you then, my nameless friend. I'll be the man in the red mask.
