What you see is never what you're gonna get.

The CLF aside, Chicago does, in fact, go on and I'm not one to sit and hide when I'm perfectly capable of handling any threat that might cross my path. As are you, actually... As you've proven countless times before.

The point of this is that I don't suppose we've actually made many attempts to do anything together, primarily because I'm not really that sort of person and spontaneity is hardly my strong point, but it's been brought to my attention that.... Perhaps I need to lighten up, stop analyzing everything, and actually do something other than whatever I'm doing, which, honestly, appears to be a whole lot of feeling sorry for myself.

And now to the actual point... Is there anything you particularly want to do? Your choice- anything you want. I've found myself in a mood where I'm willing to try almost anything within reason.

It's very disconcerting to hear about common places that wanderers frequent being burned to the ground in acts of terrorism against us, only to realize that your flat happens to be in a complex known for catering to wanderers.

Please tell me the building isn't on fire and you're safe. We can move someplace safer as soon as I'm able to get back, but please just assure me that you're there, unharmed, and the building is intact.

Would you mind coming down here?

I'm assuming Sydney has gotten in touch with you regarding this mission, but on the off-chance that she didn't, we've been conscripted into taking down an assassin on behalf of my contact who, should we prove successful, will be more than happy to provide us with information about the group responsible for the recent string of attacks- the bank, the fear gas, etc. Whether we like it or not, of all the people in this city, we're probably best suited to handle that sort of group. I doubt you could find any reason to disagree with me on that.

If at all possible, I'd like to meet with you all at the Conrad for a briefing tomorrow, now that my contact has supplied me with all the necessary information. We have a very small window of opportunity and this will have to be done as soon as possible. It would be wise for all of us to be on the same page and soon.

And this, perhaps, may be a stupid question, but I feel I better ask it anyway... Does anyone actually have a gun?
