[Eddie has his stiff, formal tone on.]

It seems Tommy has left. I don't know if it's permanent or not, but all evidence points to permanent.

[pause pause]

We should make sure people aren't forgotten here. Somehow.

[pause, pause. He sounds like he going to say something else, then just... doesn't.]

About certain things, he's very... strict and quite specific, so I'll want to be careful.

What does it end up looking like?

What sorts of things?

As if you've been written on by a pen wielded by a drunkard.

Death, mostly. And given that it's possible some people who leave might have... died, it's only reasonable to consider his thoughts on the matter.

Oh. [He almost sounds disappointed.] Why would anyone get one? Or are you made to have them?

I doubt he thinks poorly of remembering dead people.

No, they're meant to make one look tough as they're quite painful.

No, but he'd definitely want to remember them correctly. I'm not sure if this'd be correct by him.

Oh, right. ...so are people that have them quite scary, usually?

How might one remember incorrectly? Other than...the obvious.

I wouldn't say "scary".

I don't know. I'm... not too good at judging this kind of thing, so I think it's safer to check, and then do something with it.

Oh. So what would you say?

Manly. Adventuresome. Seafaring.

Do you not have one?

No I haven't. I've never worked on the docks.

So... how do you show you're manly?

Well you...act like a man.

You could consider Jane rugged?

Oh, no. She has a very handsome face.

It wasn't intended as a mean comment, I swear.

I didn't think you intended it to be. But I wouldn't go around calling ladies rugged.

No, I imagine that would be offensive.
