Brunswick.

Did you eat all the bacon?

[He's noticed other folks. Here comes cagy Eddie. There is no bacon-shortage, he just wants to talk to her.]

It is. Because you can't do anything on your own.

Of course. Clean. Rewrite your list. Explore the library. Watch you talk to the Colourman.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Working better with other people isn't a bad thing, you know?

You re-wrote my list? What's wrong with it?

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

It can be a weakness.

You left certain things off. I might as well keep adding to it.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

But isn't always.

What have you added? It was a work in progress.

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

You are such an idiot. Why do you have to argue everything I tell you?

About the "comas" and how some...most...people have odd last names. And this way, you have a copy, too.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Because you're not always right, Jane.

I'll add about the paints. I'm talking to Mr Holmes about them now.

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

I never claimed to have all the answers. But between the two of us? Who was right most of the time?

If they are univisual, though, I don't have any more reason to be here.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

It's not a competition.

Me neither. I'm going to have a look, he says they've done paintings.

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

It's not about competition. It's about risk.

You, either. ....what do you mean?

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

We all run the risk of being wrong.

...I looked at the paintings. It's not Univisual paint.

And... I asked for the paints for the mural. Why, did you ask for the same? No... that's not good.

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Eddie, we've been tricked!

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

...We have.

Plums.

Wait, wait. Let me see if he lets me change. I've got something else to ask for. Just to show the Colourman.

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Change it? To what?

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Well, you know how you said innocent people would die at my hands?

I'm not letting it start now. I'm saving someone from Reboot.

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

...what are you talking about, Eddie?

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

... There's people I have to save. That's all I'm saying.

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

What people?

You can't save everyone, you know.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

Just leave it alone, Jane. I have to do this.

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Just-

Don't you talk to me like that, Eddie Russett.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

[oh, he realised what he just sounded like.]

Look, I just did something I regret. Something I'm ashamed of. I'm fixing it.

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Fine.

But make sure that it doesn't interfere with the Grand Plan. If you taupe this up because you feel guilty, then we'll never make it.

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

The whole reason it happened was not interfering with the Grand Plan, Jane.

[oop. nearly raised his voice. nearly.]

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

So it happened so you wouldn't interfere with the Grand Plan, but now you want to go and undo it, which might interfere?

Re: Private

[needshumility.livejournal.com]

It won't interfere. I know it won't. I'm not changing what I had to do - I don't know, they could be Reboot escapees, they could find another way out. Something which doesn't rely on my decision, but still makes it right.

Re: Private

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Alright.

I'm trusting you on this, Red.
