Re: ???????????
[You overhear a conversation between familiar voices:
“I sympathize with you, of course. I lost a wife myself.”
“Don’t count your daughters before they’ve died, Dad.” The chuckle is unpleasant, to say the least. “Don’t you want to hear my ~*~plan~*~? It was supposed to be my year, after all, but I didn’t complain. Trickster ZERO. I was even thinking I might count backwards this time around. Trickster’s Year negative one, Trickster’s Year negative two..."
A sigh. “I never said I wasn’t listening. How do you expect to preserve her?”
“Easy-queasy!” Giggle, giggle. “We’ll ask them to play a Game.”]
