This Used to Be the Life but I Don't Need Another One

[Well Ratigan couldn't care less about what happened, but he really didn't get his fill of partying from the bar and everyone simpering wasn't how he wanted it to go down. Soon after the trial little notes are slipped beneath each door.]

You are cordially invited to a mourning party in the lobby. RVSP ASAP.

[In the lobby Thalia will have moved some tables to the lobby and provide her choice dish of cheeseburgers along with a smattering of bread, fruits, and vegetables. Reyna will have brought along hot chocolate galore.

For those that aren't your thing? Well in honor of the recently departed there's pine tree shaped cookies (Thanks Thalia.) and triangle crackers with cheese (thanks...Ratigan?). And there's a helping of drinks if the bar wasn't enough for you wink wink. Ratigan has every intention of making this a party.]

[YOUR FAVORITE]

Your boyfriend, then!

[CRASHING SOUND EFFECT.]

Must you say that so loudly?

You could say that...[Stretches neckerchief.]...we're in an a-platonic type situation that involves pursuit and...capture.

[If Sally could blush, she would be beet red right now.]

Oh, my, it sounds like you have a very intense relationship.

[stenchus_rodentus]

[Someone being a fan of his relationship is definitely a new thing.]

What's the point of living if you don't live intensely, dear girl? We certainly occupy each other's time and minds~ [Snickers.]

Besides, I'm sure even one with your...standing must have some...admirer. Of a sort.

[darnsitall]

[She totally ships it. She cups her mouth and giggles a little.]

Me? Oh, well, there is Jack, but I was his admirer first!

[*stalker.]

[stenchus_rodentus]

Jack, what a simple name.

I suppose he looks as...plain as you.

[darnsitall]

Oh, no! Not at all! Jack is very handsome! His suit is always impeccable- just like yours, now that I think about it! And he's tall, and mysterious, and artistic... [She gets a faraway look in her eyes.]

[stenchus_rodentus]

He sounds very much Bohemian.

[An artistic Romantic.]

[darnsitall]

[It's now the Gush About Jack Hour]

He really is! He's so creative, too! You should see all the amazing things he does for Halloween!

[stenchus_rodentus]

[Oh boy guess he's part of this now.]

I take it he's a decorator.
