Tale2Tell:::chuckling:: Ah, yes. Scratch is a dear.

Gyrl:Ah.

Private Message to Gyrl

Mythter:Hello? OK, so my ending was a little cynical. Sorry. Is that why you didn’t answer?

Gyrl:Um, no, hon… I… oh shoot.

Mythter:::grinning:: What?

Gyrl:It’s me, Scratch. I’m Winc.

Mythter:WHAT??

Gyrl:Scratch? You OK?

Mythter:This is too weird.

Gyrl:::softly:: Way good story. Really, way.

Mythter:Winc/Gyrl, whoever, I’m outta here… Yes, again. Our encounters seem to leave me looking for the exit signs.

Gyrl:Sorry!

Mythter:No! I mean, I’ve been thinking about… look, I’ll see you again, OK? Just need some… ::no words::

Mythter is no longer online

Gyrl:SCRATCH! WAIT!

Mythter:::muttering:: space. That’s the word, space…

Gyrl:What’s the *matter*? This is *lovely*!
