Less of a book, but yeah - I got something. Haven't had the chance to check on the authenticity, but it proves they're paying a lot closer attention than I'm pretty sure we'd all like.
Hold on - people are losing memories now too?
Christ. Has anyone requested her to turn down their sheets or - something to find out if she's still around?
I figured they had more information on us than we thought. Don't exactly like that myself. But with what happened with me and my friends - I can't tell if we had the memories and we forgot them, or if we left, somehow. Doesn't explain how I could live a few days in my dreams and wake up here, like nothing changed.
I considered it with the girl - but I feel like if we let on we know they did something, it could get ugly.
Look, not to get too personal - but were they good memories? Bad? A mix of both? Maybe it was a reward, or a punishment, depending.
A request for something mundane then. Or - I can play a cad. You know, pretending I'm in it for the eye candy. Watched enough assholes around Washington do it - should be easy enough to replicate.
It was neither punishment nor reward. Like watching a film of your life and knowing you lived it, and waking up as if you had. But we were here, trapped. How do you live a life elsewhere, but still be trapped in a place like this.
They know more about us than they let on, but if you want to play the cad, go on then. It will be very entertaining to watch.
Making my head spin just thinking about it. Don't go saying you think it was magic on me - I've just about had enough of the Catholic guilt and silliness and I can bear.
Mr. de Pointe du Lac - are you doubting my capabilities of being charmingly persuasive? Seemed to work alright on you. I wasn't playing then, though.
I honestly couldn't tell you what it is. Maybe they drugged us. But I promise you I don't think this is some purgatorial hellscape.
[ though magic isn't out of the question, he's just not going to bring it up here. ]
You didn't have to try and be charming with me, Mr. Fuller. Your looks were enough - so I bet you would do a fine job. Open your mouth, and I think you'd do better. That worked with me.
Well thank god some of us have 'em screwed on straight. I was pretty near-sighted thinking this was some bid from McCarthy to collect dirt on us too, but at least I can admit it.
[he sees louis not indulging that, but he's gonna let it slide for now.]
Oh, is that all it was? Seems awfully shallow of you, Louis.
[as if he hasn't banged every dark-haired twink at dupont circle on looks alone. he's also very much teasing.]
Duly noted. Better tuck that away for another time.
Wait, you thought this was a bad attempt at McCarthyism? While I could see that bastard making a sad attempt, but he'd burn himself to the ground faster than he could try and rebuke his obvious homosexuality. I'm glad you've seen the light.
I'd be happy to let you into my bed some night and you can tell me all about your theories for this whole fucked up place. Or we could find a room a little more anonymous, when mood takes us. Tell me I'm shallow all you want.
