Re: call: connie/patrick
My work here is done! Thank you for your time. [But he's settled in, listening. He likes to think he's a good listener, even if she does sound unsettlingly like Webster.] What's the different between jumping forward and going back. Can't you just teleport in reverse? The chronometer, it lets me zip and zap back in seconds. You can babysit it and study it. Maybe it'll be enlightening. [Pause.] That was another Webster sigh. What do you mean it isn't science, asks the squib, your brother. [And his own sigh, exaggerated deliberately.] You won't believe it, and it's revolutionary, but the ears were attached to heads, Con. [Wink.] But for real, I wasn't tripping out or smoking. I used the chronometer, and the lookout tower I was in was gone, just not there at all. And there was a circle of pointy-eared bitches. A semi-circle. Not important. Point-eared bitches, that's the important part.
