Good evening, have you tried your tracking technology on the forest spirits?


PS: I'm not dying of alcohol poisoning.

[webshoots]

In a manner of speaking. Why?

I'm pleased for you, even if I am disappointed in missing my chance to make fun of someone else's poor life choices for once.

[pearlstrings]

I'm sure you'll have plenty of opportunity later. Given the network.

I was curious. About where the spirits go.
If their paths overlap.

Define a manner of speaking?

[webshoots]

I'd say I don't go for public humiliation, but that sounds a lot worse on paper than it does in my head, so we'll just stick with 'the theory was nice, if you were actually dying this would be a very different conversation'.

It wasn't that intensive, and then I got a touch sidetracked.

[pearlstrings]

Sidetracked?

[webshoots]

By... everything else?

[ mr fucking moet. ]

[pearlstrings]

I see.

What happened to the single-minded pursuit of answers in the name of science?

[webshoots]

That's probably why I haven't made it as a scientist, Wayne. Life gets in the way.

[pearlstrings]

When do you plan to make a second attempt?

[webshoots]

Before the end of the month unless I get sidetracked by further sensory hallucinations.

Are you asking for access to my calendar?

[pearlstrings]

That still doesn't sound very committed to the cause. You seem creative. I'm sure you could find a way to multitask.

But yes, as it happens. You could call it that.

[webshoots]

Are you...

Was that almost a joke?

[pearlstrings]

Please be proud of me. I worked very hard at it.

[webshoots]

I am. Indescribably.

But to clarify: are you asking when or are you asking to be involved?

[pearlstrings]

You're far more experienced than I am don't you think? I doubt I'd be much use.

But I'd like to show up when you start off. Like those people who break champagne bottles on ships.

[webshoots]

Sure, at tracking runaway books.

Are you going to provide a ceremonial name, too?

[pearlstrings]

Depends. Are you giving me permission?

[webshoots]

Sure. Think of it like a project name, since you're so enamoured with the science of it all.

[pearlstrings]

Thank you.

I appreciate it.
