I trust you survived the party in one piece?


[A note to Arc, stuck to the door of Aubade 505 again.]

You produced the best joint I have smoked in a while. Is it possible that you could send a neighbourly present this time by finding a way to stop this ridiculous fog? -Sophie

[Locked to L Henry]
I didn't see you wandering around on Father's Day. How we doing?

[Locked to G Dailey]
I'm going to avoid this fog as an initial topic, and ask how the groveling went, instead.

[Locked to D Hockney]
Any intel on Knight's location? This fog would help us get in and out without notice.

[Locked to P Rawlings]
Truce, Rawlings?

Drake. There is an unconscious woman in my bed. Where do I put her?

[ Text to A. Morgenstern ]

I spoke with Jonathan about his penchant for calling me Daria. He informed me that he teases to demonstrate his approval of your choice and women. To show that I understood, I lead him on with a vivid story about a party I was planning for your siblings. The story ended with my admission that I had hired a prostitute for the occasion that had once been a man. He didn't seem to appreciate it.

( In which Daryl asks a very reasonable favor. )

[ E-Mail to M. Morgenstern ]

Dr. Morgenstern,

I hope you have been well since I last saw you. I am contacting you to inform you of a case that I am working on that could benefit from the expertise of someone in the medical profession. Would you be interested in sharing your insights with me on this matter?

Thank you,
- Daryl

It's a little late, but better late then never, no?

I know there are a few runners out there (Yes, I'm looking at you. You = Max, Laura, and Gwen) and I thought I'd inform you that there is a marathon and a half-marathon going on June 25th.

I don't suppose anyone would be interested in joining me, would they? I promise rewards* if you do.


*Rewards are given at my discretion. Don't pout, I'll be sure to give everyone something fitting.

We need to make more headway on the wedding if we wish for it to take place in this decade.

[ Text to K. West ]

I don't care that you are the Chief of Police and thus extremely busy. We are having dinner. Tonight. There is no way out of this.

[ Locked to M. Main ]

I'm collecting the files on the Night Terror's past victims in Seattle and looking for a pattern that in of itself can implicate Charlie.

Since I will be spending the foreseeable future dealing with the explosions that happened yesterday, I would like to kindly send a message to the individual responsible for them. The police do not agree with you that might equals right. Just because you can blow people you're not fond of sky high does not mean you should, if for no other reason than that the hammer of the law will strike down upon you with force.

Unpleasant business aside, I'm a relatively new resident of the area, and I'm curious if anyone knows a good magic shop in town. Or a good coffee shop, while you're at it.

[ Locked to J. and M. Morgenstern ]

( In which Daryl proposes a very civilized get-together. )

[ Text to K. West ]

I'm back in Seattle. I believe this warrants a dinner between friends.

[ Locked to M. Main ]

( In which Daryl probably tries too hard. )

Does Seattle know only of bad dreams?

[Sent this morning, after this]

[ Text to K. West ]

I'm not coming in today.

[ Locked to S. Djaevelen ]

I'm still not sure if the Night Terror is the man we are looking for, but I believe he may be. We have officially met.

[Sent later in the day on Monday.]

Rowan has brought to my attention that we must set a date for the wedding. Did you have any in mind?

[ Locked to K. West ]

This is a bit premature, as a date for the wedding has not yet been decided, but I wanted to inform you that you will need to be fitted for your garments as a member of the bridal party. I will take it upon myself to choose times that fit your schedule, or if need be, to change your schedule to accommodate.

[ Locked to S. Duncan ]

This is a bit premature, as a date for the wedding has not yet been decided, but I wanted to inform you that you will need to be fitted for your dress as a member of the bridal party. Should you have any ideas for the garments, please let me know. Relying solely on Rowan's tastes is a bit disconcerting You are welcome to offer input at your discretion.

omgosh must stop re-watching royal wedding footage Hello ladies! Daryl and Val, welcome to the wedding planning/brainstorming filter. I hope you don't mind.

Any progress on either of your fronts? I have to admit, weddings have been sorta on my mind lately. And TV and computer and omgomgomg I can't stop

[After this]

The bathtub was 5/6 full when you opened the door.

What the hell is going on with the damn birds? If something's messed up in this city, chances are it's our doing, and you all know I'm right.

I'm curious. Is it safe to come out of my apartment yet or is someone crazed going to come along and mess up my hair?

[locked to D. Hockney]
Well that bender certainly made me feel better. How are you, sweetie?

Are you CPR certified? This very educational video has convinced me we should look into CPR certification.

( Welcome to the House of Fun )

Excuse me,

Has anyone seen a possible wet and very annoyed cat wandering the Bathos catwalks or alleyways? His name is Jimmy and he has been missing for quite some time in this weather (Do not call him Jimmy. He will not respond. He is only a cat.) He is an orange tabby, and has a collar with his name on it with a small bell... if anyone has seen him please inform me? I am quite worried.

I just saw the article in the paper position Orin is Batman, I am Robin, and you are the mysterious, never-seen but speculated about Batwoman. Why can't I be Batman?
